AFV

I wish someone would have had a video camera in this house today. Bud came home from the dentist looking like a chipmunk with all of his nuts for the winter stored in his cheeks.  He had two teeth pulled.  He was sitting in his recliner with ice bags and a big quilt over him trying to not laugh his guts out (it hurt so bad) while he watched me attempt my first pilates workout .  What a hilarious picture I must have been.  Tara told me about the dvd at WallMart and it is hard but really fun.  I will be one BUFF MAMA  if I stick with it and I intend to!  I spent 5 days with the Clegg clan last week and it really made me appreciate my girls so much.  I went to bed at night so exhausted I hardly had the strength to pull the covers up, but it was fun and they are a family with some really awesome and intense personalities.  I have found myself really missing them today.  I could steal Abby.  She has developed a real love for her Nana too! and that is so fun.  I just wish all of my grandchildren were closer so I could hug, love, tickle, sing songs and have some great discussions with each of them.  I still am struggling to find the motivation to get out in the yard and start making things pretty.  I just keep saying I will wait for the weekend and then every weekend the weather is lousy.   I can't decide if I am just content or just lazy!!!!    Please don't respond to that sentence!  

Weekend Wows!!!!

I made my muscles work when they sure didn't want to.  I listened to Conference yesterday am while I cleaned out my closet and drawers and got all my spring and summer things out of the guest room and the winter things put away.  That was a mistake because then today we headed up to Heber to have dinner between sessions with Jim, Judith and their family.  The meal was delicious and their new summer home is really nice.  We can see the Allred cabin from their family room windows.  It was so cold and still LOTS OF SNOW!!!!  Conference was wonderful and I made it thru without any tears of sadness or fear.  I prayed hard that I would hear things in a way that wouldn't take me to that place!!   I am so grateful to have children that understand Gospel principles and are trying hard to teach my grandchildren to have strong moral compasses.  We will be leaving for St George Wed.(so my summer clothes will work) and be back Sunday.  Then the following Wed. I get to to Nana's "boot camp" to the Clegg house until the following Sunday.  It will be fun to have some one on one time with them and they are always so good for me!  I am sure by the time I finish all of this up it will time to hit the yard and I am still waiting for the desire to him me.  It just looks so overwhelming to me.  I really could be talked into a retirement village if I could wave a magic wand and have the moving and all that that would entail done.  I do worry about Bud and this big yard.  But we love our home and now is not the time to think about major changes.  I love you all and am so proud of you all!!!
