Our new truck

So the last couple of weeks Randy has been looking on KSL for trucks. Just wondering what was out there. He found one he like and I called the next day for him since he was at work, well they had sold it. So he was like no biggie, I well just keep looking, I'm in know rush to get one. So yesterday he got on to KSL again and was looking there were like ten pages of trucks list in on day, so he went through them and came across one, He couldn't believe the price so he called and asked if the still had it, and they did. I called one of my neighbors asked if we could drop Tyler off and if she could get Tyler off to school. (Her little girl is in Tyler's class). The truck was in Salt Lake and we wanted to be back for the boys when the got home for school. When we got to the dealership we looked at the truck and it was really nice inside and out, so we took it for a test drive, and really liked it. Well the last thing we wanted to know was what the car fax said about it. Find out that it was a car that you could rent from like enterprise, they took really good care of it and only sold it because the warnenty had expired. The car fax was good so randy decide that we couldn't pass it up. The dealership had it listed for 9,999 and had a sale sign in it for 7,999 and on-line it was listed for 5,999. And there was nothing wrong with it. They just don't like having cars longer than a month on there lot. We couldn't believe it, it had low miles and was a 2000 Ford F250 what a great deal. You all are thinking why by a truck with gas prices this high. Well I'll tell you why it was cheap and we said once payed our car off and we had no more debt we would by a truck, well that time is now. So now we can work on all of those home improvement projects we have wanted to do but didn't have a way to haul things. And maybe we can get a trailer and a 4-wheeler and have fun with our family and friends who those things.

Yeah it came

So today I finally got my new phone and the cable I order for my camera, so now I can add the pics, so go down to the last couple of enties and view the pics.

Great neighbors

Well a couple of weeks ago I had a neighbor asked if her family could come over that Monday and help us weed our yard. I told her she didn't have too, but if they wanted they could.(there would be no complaints from me) Its a lot of work. So that Monday came around and they didn't come. So I thought she was just being nice. Well tonight I sent Randy out to pick a couple of things up for dinner and he came in saying we had people weeding. He thought we should go out and help. So I got up off my lazy bum and went out to see who it was, (because we have had a couple of different neighbors ask if they could help). Well it was Jon and Kim Mott and 2 of their daughters and their other daughter had to work so they ask a couple of the youth from the ward. By the time we saw them they had almost all of the flower bed weeded. So we helped finish. I can't believe that they would actually came and weed it for us. It has been such an overwhelming project that I was just easier to leave it. So now the biggest flower bed is weeded and now we just have the little ones left. I think the worst thing about having your own house is the yard work. It always seams so overwhelming. So thank Mott's for the great kindness and hard work you have given to us. We well always be so very thankful. I did take pics and will add them as so as the cord I order comes in the mail.

What a week

So this week has been pretty crazy. Clay and Tyler had their last week of soccer, they both had a great season, and were one of the best players on both of their teams.



The school they had the book fair and SEPS and they are both doing very well in there classes. Tyler's teacher just loves him to death and is glad that he know how to read already. Clays teacher says he is doing well but sometimes has a hard time staying on task and walking around and bothering others, he says he needs to do less of that. I hope he can do better.

On Thursday night I have choir practice, with the women's choir her in town, it has been so much fun meeting new people and working on the Christmas music for the Christmas concert.

Now Clay starts flag football. So he had his first practice and starts playing in October.

Saturday I went to Women's Conference with my mom and sister Amanda, to her stakes dinner. It was strange to be in the same chapel that I went to primary in. We saw alot of old ward members there, and it was nice to catch up with them. We also ran into Connie Busath who has moved into that stake, she was in the ward were we lived by K-mart. She sat with us and it was nice to have a chance to visit with her since it had been awhile since we last time we saw her. Women's Conference was good I think. I had a migraine and had a hard time paying attention to what was being said. I will look forward to read the in the ensign and remember.



Today was our primary program and it went well. I teach the sunbeams. They had all the primary kids sit on the stand the whole meeting, and had the sunbeam teachers sit on the sunbeam chairs. Sitting their for an hour just killed me. My sciatic never was flaring up, don't think I well ever do that again.

After we had dinner I was watching a movie and the boys were out side playing and they came running in saying there was fire down the street, so I run out the door to see what was on fire, hopin it wasn't a neighbors house. Luckily it was just one of their cars. So we watched from a distant until the fire department came and put it out then went down. Found out that know one had been driving it, since after church. We she had come home some else's car was in there driveway and so she parked it in the street farthest away from her house and the neighbors. I think if she would of parked in the driveway her house would have caught on fire. I'm glad that they weren't hurt. I can't believe all the fire that we have seen this summer. Two car fire's and one forest fire, how crazy it has been. My neighbor took pics, so as soon as she e-mails them I will post. So much for having a quite and relaxing Sunday.

Cell phones and Work

Today is one of those days when you hate both, because it is totally frustrating.

Today is the day I can get a new cell phone and I have been looking, did some research on line then went to the store. The day we went to the store I was rushed for time so by the time they got to me I had two minutes to ask my question, but when we left the store I felt I had more than were answered. So I have be doing more research and today went on line looked at them all again, called the company and the gentlemen was know help at all, he said he couldn't be biased. So while I was on-line a window popped up to talk to someone live. so I talked to her she wasn't much help. So I thought I would try the store again, but the store here in town is little and the guys there weren't much help either. So I don't know what Im' going to do.

So I thought I would go to work. I Love my job. I started to open the totes and theres all these Halloween books. So I open this box thinking that the books go on the display I have to put together. I looked at it and remember it was one I had trouble putting together a couple of months ago and Has to have Randy came and help me put it together. So I thought I can do this. Well I started putting it together and couldn't remember how it went. Randy wasn't around this time to help. So I called my boss and she was in Roosevelt and couldn't help me today. She said if I couldn't do it she would come and put it together tomorrow, but i didn't want her to have to do my work. So I was asking everyone at the store if the new how to put these together, know one knew, but they would try and help me. So three of us worked together and finally figured it out. Did you know that they have engineering grads. design them. That's why it takes three regular minds to but it together. It has been such a frustrating day. But I'm glad at least one thing was solved. Hopfully the rest of the day and week are smooth.

If my cord to my camera wasn't lost I would add a pic, maybe later. I'm Thankful for the fruit that my grandpa gives me, if it wasn't for him I wouldn't have much of a food storage. So thanks gramps for all the hard work you put into your garden and then sharing and giving me the hard work of putting the to use. Its nice to go to the cold storage and get want we need without going to the grocery store. I love you.

A little getaway

So Sunday night Randy and I went out to wendover for the night to celebrate our 10Th wedding anniversary. I know its a few weeks early, but it is the only weekend we could get away.
Randy is going hunting with his uncles and my dad durning the week of our anniversary and the only two weekends he had off were this weekend and the weekend of the 28Th. But that day is the day our primary is having the program and since I'm the sunbeam teacher I thought I shouldn't miss it.
So we celebrated it almost a moth early. So we dropped the boys off at grandpa and grandma Peterson's until aunt Brenna could get off of work to watch them over night, and then we were off. We try not to go out on Sunday's but sometimes you can't help it.
So we started our day off with eating lunch at citrus grill in draper. The food was great. Then we hit the road. We had a free coupon for the hotel and so we used it and checked in. They put us on the sixth floor. We went to to the room to drop off the bags and look around. We turned the t.v. on and the remote wasn't working so I called the front desk, they said they would send maintenance. We waited around for 30 mins and know one showed so we called back and told them we weren't waiting any longer and they could come in and fix it. So when we came back it still wasn't working so we called again they said they would send someone and told told him we weren't going to await. So we left and got dinner. When we came back for the third time it still wasn't working, so I called again and told them it was the third time we called, they said again they would send someone. Less than five minutes some knocked on the door. They finally fixed it. But Some time in all that waiting I was looking out the window and told Randy that I thought we had a great view. He came over and looked at with me and agreed. he said how from here you could see how the earth is round and how you can't see it anywhere else close around.. It was really wonderful to see something that you don't get to see or ever think about very often.I think the the Utah salt flats are beautiful. How the white salt looks so clean and pure. I just felt at that moment that Heavenly father would make something so spectacular. And I'm' glad I could see something so amazing. To see a pic click on the link to the side and see just how beautiful it is. It was nice to have time with out the boys, even though we love them so very much, but sometimes you want time alone, especially when your boys are at the age when they think mom and dad kissing is gross.
