Priceless Happenings

I found this today while looking at Deseret Books webpage. If you haven't seen the Reflections of Christ book or DVD yet, you really should. This slideshow is by the same photographer. http://www.anothertestamentofchrist.com/ Emma and I were watching this morning and I loved the questions and comments that she made.....1)This makes me think of Grandpa Chuck, 2)I wonder what Jesus's voice sounds like, 3)He really died for all the bad things that we do or will do? It was a great opportunity to share just a few simple feelings with her and let her see how happy those before us were when he came to the America's after he was crucified. She really liked when he was with the children and giving them hugs and kisses. She mentioned at that point that she was happy to be his little sister. Priceless :)

(I couldn't resist this picture, he was modeling the santa hat for the my girlies) Well, I haven't posted on here for a few weeks. So much has happened in that time. I really don't know where to start. On Aug 24th my stepdad, Papa Chuck, was in a car accident involving him on his scooter and a pick-up truck. He was on his way home from work at about dusk and the truck pulled out in front of him, claiming not to see him, and hit him. The jerk was scared so left the scene and didn't bother to even call 911. He did later return but not til after Papa had been taken to the hospital via careflight. I won't get into details about him because one, he isnt worth wasting my energy on at the moment, and two....well I really don't want to get going on such a horrible person that would just leave another human being lying in the middle of the road. The last two and half weeks have been a huge roller coaster for my family, especially my mother. We were called on Mond...

So I'm entering a contest for a $500 GC to Walmart to update Josh and Adam's to the new "Your Zone" collection. Their poor room has bunk beds that I think used to be in the MTC eons ago. They don't complain though. Hopefully if I win they will be able to get a much needed update :) We'll see. Here's a picture of what I think would be a fun addition for them and the link to where you can enter the contest too if you want. They also have some way cute "girlie" items. http://www.ahappyhippymom.com/2009/08/walmart-your-zone-bedroom-makeover-and-500-gc-giveaway.html/comment-page-23#comment-10285

So today's blog is all about my daddy. It's hard to believe that it has now been two years since he left us. It still feels like yesterday I was packing to make the long trip home to say my good-byes. I think the best part of my remember "what was I doing at this time two years ago" was talking to him on the phone the day before his heart attack. My little sis had just flown in from Ohio and we were checking in with him to let him know that she had arrived. The last thing we said on the phone was "I love you Papa" and "I love you too kiddo". I miss those phone calls a ton but thinking of them make me smile whenever I start to miss him. He always had a way of making me smile or think of the up side even when I knew he might be having a bad day. Some of the things that helped me get through his funeral and the weeks that slowly passed was thinking of some of the funny things we did growing up. Dad nicknaming me "skunk", buying me a...

While browsing on facebook, I came across this great quote by Pres. Packer. Not sure the talk or where it came from but I still really liked it. Happy Friday :) "Faith, to be faith, must center around something that is not known. Faith, to be faith, must go beyond that for which there is confirming evidence. Faith, to be faith, must go into the unknown. Faith, to be faith, must walk to the edge of the light and then a few steps into the darkness. If everything has to be known, if everything has to be explained, if everything has to be certified, then there is no need for faith. Indeed there is no room for it." -Elder Boyd K. Packer

"Hot" pizza delivery boy "Hot" delivery boys even "hotter" daddy. Wow that's a lot of pizza!!! Take the picture already, we are starving..... This pizza is out of this world!!! About a month or two ago, I heard on KSL or Ch 4 about these things called "house party's". Someone had been chosen to host a group of friends and family for Domino's Pizza to try some of their new stuff. I thought, Hey, why not see what this is all about. Needless to say, I went on houseparty.com and entered. There are literally thousands of people who submit to get to host these parties, in Utah I happened to be one of the 20 chosen for the new American Legends Pizza Party. The party was to be scheduled for June 20th. With Father's Day the next day I decided what better way to honor our American Legend Dads then by giving them American Legend Pizza??? We invited all of the Prices and Schows over and were able to to try 5 of the 6 new pizza's. ...

My favorite group of monkey's getting ready to visit the Gorilla's Del & Josh helping out with breakfast, mmmmm, bacon! We had our Brownie sleepover on Friday night. I had all of these great plans for a fun and event filled evening. There was going to be smores, a campfire, charades and then of course girls giggling in the tent next to mine. Well, due to the weather, none of that happened. It's amazing what mother nature will throw at you to make you just put your arms in the air and say I give up. The girls kept good spirits and even though the tent got wet an...
