Elder Dalan Lerwill


It is so good to hear from Dalan and see that things are going so much better this week. We are thankful Heavenly Father is watching over him and answering our prayers and blessing him. This in return is blessing the people of East Mesa and Apache Junction. I am so excited for Dalan and we love Elder Hiatt and don't even know him. This is so crazy though I have to tell you this story. This Sister Campfield Dalan talks about called us on Sunday, but we were still at church so we have been waiting to hear back from her and I was even thinking if she doesn't call today we should try her. But Dalan had just e-mailed us and I was reading the letter to Bailey and just barely got done with the part about her and the phone rang, I almost didn't answer it so we could keep reading, but I did and it was Sister Campfield. How crazy is that. She just told me how much they loved Dalan and thought of him as just part of their family. Their daughter was baptised and they felt it was because of Dalan. She said they cried when he left Snowflake. I told her thanks and that we hoped to someday meet her when we come to Arizona with Dalan in the future. She said to plan on it. What a wonderful blessing for Dalan and our family to have him serving the Lord.

Bountiful basket, chicken, and a sander

Stacy got up early this morning and went to Rexburg to pick up a bountiful basket and then went on the IF where we picked up 40 lbs of fresh chicken breast. So cool. We brought it home and washed, trimmed and froze it. We ate some of it tonight for supper and it was yummy. So glad to have chicken in the freezer. After we picked up the chicken we went to Walmart and picked up a few groceries then we went and said hello to Allyson and Michael Sterling. Allyson is recovering from neck surgery. She looks like she is doing well and it will really make her life better. I am excited for her. We then went to a lady's house and picked up a sander Stacy bought off of Craig's list. It is a 9 inch disk and a 6 inch belt. Pretty cool. Got a great deal on it. We need to get busy in the shop now. Bailey is feeling better, but still weak and like Grandma Curtis would say a little puny. (makes me smile) We have also had some people in our ward getting fire wood from all of our dead quaky trees. Tonight Brent Knight cut his leg with the chain saw. Ouch. I am so glad it wasn't as bad as it could have been. Brent grabbed it and it wasn't bleeding too bad. He ended up getting 22 stitches, it was about 3 inches long. He is sooo lucky. It just barley missed cutting the muscle.

Bailey is Green....

But not with envy. Bailey has the stomach flu. No fun!! We gave our Colin Ray tickets away. :( But it is all o.k. Glad to be her mommy and help her. Hope she is feeling better soon. Like in the morning. We have plans that need to be followed through with in the morning. I will update later and let you know. Keep you finger's crossed.

Lucky Me!

I have to blog about a couple of the sweetest things that have happened to me lately. For my birthday Bailey gave me the sweetest gift. She knew that I had lost my Young Women Medallion and she visited with the Young Women President and she gave Bailey one of them to give to me. So sweet. So now I have one just like hers, except mine is gold just like my old one and she has one of the new silver ones. I also have to tell you how sweet of a girl she is. She stood up for what was right at a party this last week-end. You can always give the easy Sunday school lesson answer but when it comes right down to it, it is never that easy. I am so proud of her. Love you tons Bailey.
Also I got the sweetest love notes posted around the house the other day for my birthday when Stacy was hunting. So cute and sweet. Made me even cry. I want to post them so I will have them forever, so sorry this will be a little personal.

• Brenda I can't believe that I won't be here for  your birthday, the day that created the biggest blessing in my life. Love Stacy
• Brenda I just thought you would like a note to know that I am thinking of you hope you have a great day. Love Stacy

• Brenda I hope you are having a good day. I am thinking of you hope you are smiling. You are the love of my life. Love Stacy
• Wish I was here with you. Love Stacy L

A Beautiful Morning

It was a such a gorgeous morning this morning so I tried out my new camera lens and played around with some picture fun. Stacy is gone to Twin Falls today with Ryan and Bailey is at school. I have the whole day to my self. I will try and enjoy it. I need to go fix supper for Bishop and Michelle Berry tonight so I need to decide what I am going to make. I need to pick up some, cook, and then maybe I will go for a walk and read some too. Oh and I need to start making Dalan's Christmas present, a lap quilt. So I guess I better go get busy. I feel so blessed.

Love Family Time

A growl fest.

A little rough housing going on.

Sunday's are HARD work! Nothing better than a afternoon nap!

How can we be so old?
