A little Family Home Evening Humor, maybe

Elias gave the lesson last night. He gave it on Christmas, out of the new nursery manual. He did a great job. However, he gets distracted easily.

He was looking at the Christmas tree and said, "when you go cross-eyed, there are two trees and the lights are, like, huge!"

Here is what we were graced with last night. He is simply hilarious. Everyone else tried it and no one can get the effect that he can!

Grandma Knutti

I just have to put down my thoughts and feelings this morning. Grandma Knutti passed away during the night last night. She had a stroke sometime Saturday night. I am thankful her suffering was short.

I love my grandma. Even though I didn't get to visit with her often, we corresponded through letters. I sent pictures and hoped that she got to know the kids and what we were doing here through those. I had the kids make her pictures which she said she enjoyed.

I am thankful for the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I am picturing Grandpa having welcomed her as she passed to the other side. I am picturing them so happy to be together again. Though I am enjoying my time here on the earth, there is some anticipation for the joys I will experience when I am again reunited with family members who have passed. I try to live each day spending time with those I love and inviting others to share in the joy of the Gospel.


Life continues on and someday we will all be together again. We will be made whole through the love of our Savior Jesus Christ.

Elias' advancement

I thought I would have just one blog here for Elias. On Wednesday night, he received his Bear award in Cub Scouts. We are very proud of him. It took a lot of work, both his and mine! He is a joy to have around!

And here he is:

Eva's new hairdo

Eva before her haircut. Her hair was just out of hand and something had to be done. The next one is, of course, the after. It is neater looking and easier to manage.

These two are just growing up too fast!

Saul's Dentist visit

Eva and Jesse in the waiting room at the dentist office.

Saul, all smiles, at least for now.....

He is feeling the meds now. He said he didn't know if he was smiling or not, because he couldn't feel one side of his face!

I know, you all wanted a self-portrait of me! Just thought I'd oblige!
