Jason’s Special Baptism Day

Jason was baptized yesterday a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.  It was such a special day for him!  He was so excited!!  He was the first one awake!  Both sets of Grandparents were able to be there.  My parents didn’t make it until 2 am to our house, driving all night!  Chuck and Carol took off shortly after to leave to WA to attend their other Grandson, Mark’s baptism.  Chris and Andrea with their kids, Megan and Rocky, The Primary President Sis. Packer and Jason’s Primary teacher Sis. Ashcraft also came.  Grandpa Lee gave the talk on being baptized and I gave the talk on the Holy Ghost.  I likened a stop light to the Holy Ghost.  Red being warnings that the Holy Ghost will give you to leave a bad movie, change the radio station, or leave a bad situation.  Yellow being promptings to give service, go check on something or invite someone to church.  Green being a feeling you get when you do something right, bearing your testimony or hearing something in church you know is true.  I am so proud that Jason chose to be baptized.  It is something he has looked forward to all year!  He was the last one in his Primary Class to be baptized and has anticipated this day for a long time!  Afterwards we all came back to our house for a brunch.  We had Jason’s favorite breakfast, fruit crepes!  We also had Costco muffins, fresh fruit, orange juice, chocolate milk and cookies.

What an awesome experience for Jason and for your family. How neat. I'm not sure I've commented on your lasts posts but I've read them all. Girl, you never cease to amaze me. When I read about your triathlon I told Brian you McGary's are just NO FUN. You are good at everything you set your mind too. What a blessing!!! You look amazing and what I love about being your friend(cousin) the most is you are just as amazing inside. Your cute family is such a huge example!!

How close have you been to a Prophet?

David, and two other guys he works with, were invited to the Jazz game last Friday night. I have come to find out as a construction wife, to get business, you gotta play A LOT ! Here is a short list, not limited to, of what I mean by "play": Golfing (about 3 times a week-depending on the week and in warm weather of course) Snow skiing (about 2 times a week, again this depends on the week and when there's snow) Fancy dinners (this can also be counted as lunch, which happens more than I know I'm sure!) Executive Retreats (this will be happening in February for about 5 days in AZ, which will have all 5 days full of golfing, guaranteed!!) Jazz games (again, when in season) I don't know about you, but I think I'm in the wrong career!! This house wife things just does not include ANY of those benefits!! Anyway, on with the story at the Jazz game... These weren't just ordinary tickets. Where do executives and people in high places sit? Oh yeah, ...

Our New Family Pictures

Image
I have been on the hunt for a really good photographer for a long time here and there.  And I think I found one that did everything I wanted.  First, she comes and looks at the feel of your home.  For us I just sent pictures of our living room where I wanted the pictures placed.  Then she suggests colors to wear and sent pictures back with our room and picture placements she puts on the walls.  And with 5 kids, especially Jenna, you really have to photo shop A LOT!!  Almost every photo with Jenna she had to photo shop.  She did amazing!!  I was so nervous when we went over and viewed our pictures at her house.  As David put it after our photo shoot “She has to be a magician to get anything good out of that!  That was a disaster!”  After looking at our proofs I said, “well, you are a magician!”  And David said after leaving and climbing in our car to go home “That was worth every penny.”  Success! I do have a few faces to...

Melanie’s Calling in Life

Image
Two Days ago Melanie was getting ready to go out the door.  She had her coat and was looking for her other jacket.  I asked her why she needed it when she already had her coat on.  She said she was going to take it to her friend at school, Humana, because she wears 3 jackets and doesn’t have a coat.  5 minutes later Melanie asked me “Mom, can we buy Humana a coat?”  I had already been thinking about that but told Melanie I would look while I was out to see if I could find one.  I went to 3 different stores to look!  Winter coats in that size are hard to find these days!  But I finally found something at Walmart and got gloves and a hat.  My friend, Angela, who drove carpool that morning called me while I was out looking.  She called worried because Melanie had said on the way to school that her friend didn’t have a coat and was sleeping on the floor.  I told her I knew about the coat and was getting one but Melanie hadn’t mentioned ...
