I have the most wonderfullest husband in the world. He is always willing and the best part able to help me do anything. I wanted to have a Murphy bed downstairs so that we could have a wall in our storage room back. We have had this extra bed and we always haul it back and forth when company comes, no big deal, but it was taking up valuable storage space. I have been researching them for some time. Did some comparing and we ordered the hardware to make our own. To order a finished one was around 2500.00 dollars. (No Way!) Plus I have an amazing husband who can do awesome wood work. Stacy has been working on it this week and we got it put up today. I love it. Looks so good and it will be so awesome when we have family come. I know Macie and Stockton will think it is so cool. Come see us soon!

Small problem. Stops were in the wrong place by just a 1/4 of a inch. So Stacy put Bailey in the bed and folded her up so she could make some marks on where to put them. Pretty funny. Not quite like the cartoons, but almost.

Thanks Stacy, you are the best.

Family Fun

Last Saturday Ryan, Kalle and their family came over had a fun get together. Ryan helped Grandma with her computer. Stacy and the kids did some sledding. We had a good meal. Ryan and Stacy watched UFC and us women and kids had a good visit. It was a lot of fun.

Bailey's School Assignment

In Bailey's Child Assistance class they had to take pictures of 5 different outfits that they could wear as a teacher. They will be going into classrooms and helping here soon. Here are here 5 she choose.

Closet Reorganization

I wish I was a better organizer. But I have had such a mess and so I have tackled a few closets this last week. Nothing to brag about but hey they look so much better than what they did especially for me.(I have too many kitchen gadgets. Like Bailey's says we are a whole fair, snow cones, hot dogs, popcorn, funnel cakes, hot chocolate, ice cream etc.) This week it is Dalan's room that is going to get the run through. I am excited to do that one! 39 more days!

Bailey's New Beginnings and Young Women in Excellence

On Sunday the 29th of January Bailey had her New Beginnings and Young Women in Excellence Program. It was a good meeting. Bailey being the oldest and the Laurel President conducted the meeting. She did a great job. They were each giving a hero book that they were to learn about someone in the scriptures or in our church. Bailey chose Emma Smith. She displayed her book, scriptures, and her dress that she and Grandma Lerwill made. It was a nice evening. Here are some pictures, should have taken more the night of.

Letter Feb. 3, 2012

I was going to sit down today and write Bailey and Mom and Dad 2 good letters but here we are Monday and it is already 5:15 and I need to shower! We got kinda side tract and went with some other Elders to play tennis and relax and I forgot my paper so...Ya! :) Next week I'll make it up to you!

Hope you enjoy my baptismal programs and getting some thing in the mail mid-week. We had Heather text us today and ask what time her baptism will be on the 18th.....Ahhhh....Well whatever time you want. OK she said, I get off work at 12:00 can we do it at 2:30? ABSOLUTELY!!! So sweet! Being so blessed.
Keep truckin through the Book of Mormon! I hope you all see a difference in your life as we read it together! I know I am! :) Keep me posted weekly on your progress. You are the best. President and Sister Ellsworth promised all Elders/Sisters that if we read the Book of Mormon in our last 6 weeks we will keep focused on the work. It's working for me! What a blessing.

Side Note from his family.
As a family we are seeing blessings from reading the Book of Mormon. We are really enjoying it and it brings a sweet peace into our home. We are a few days ahead of his schedule since we started as soon as he challenged us. We are almost done with Mosiah. We are on chapter 27, so just three chapters left. We will make it!!

Hard to believe but we went under 40 days today until he comes home. 39 more days, wow!
