Family Home Evening Videos


For family home evening last night, we decided to watch home videos. In the first video Kaneesha was about age 7 or 8 and Myranda was about age 3. The video was on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. It was so fun to watch how kind they were to each other and how much fun they had as they opened their gifts.

The girls have always been so cute. Watching them when they were younger reminded me how much they've grown. One of the clips showed the day Myranda learned to ride a bicycle without training wheels.

We saw some video clips where Noell was expecting Tanner's birth. We also saw somewhere Tanner was just a few months old, and we also watched some where Tanner was about three years old. I especially enjoyed seeing the clip at Christmas time Kaneesha held Tanner on her lap. While I enjoyed reminiscing, and seeing the children as they were younger, I have really enjoyed watching them grow. They are truly becoming great people. 

At times I think I am a grown up and at other times I realize I still have a lot of growing to do. Our Father in Heaven is definitely trying to help his little boy (Wayne) to grow. As I watch how much my children have grown, and how mature they're becoming, I also hope that we will all continue to grow well throughout the rest of our lives as only the Lord can help us.

They are all great children, and I love them so much.

Lindon Cannery Closure

Image
In May of this year, I started working at the Lindon Cannery. It was such a blessing to end the commute to Salt Lake. Also, because of production, we worked four ten hour days. This left my Fridays free to do the things I, and my family, needed. I was typically gone from home about the same amount of time each day that I had been gone when I traveled to Salt Lake (but I didn't have to go to work on Fridays). On September 30th it was publicly announced that the Lindon Cannery would be merging with the Murray Cannery.  On November 14th we had our last day of production at the Lindon Cannery. Besides being the final day of canning in Lindon, it was also the last day any of the canneries in the church canning system were expected to be canning in glass jars. All of the glass jars from every cannery were sent to Lindon to be filled with spaghetti sauce. Noell brought Tanner in to participate on the last day of production. I took him around and showed him how the cannery wor...

Keyboard Shift

Image
This week the shift keys on my Bluetooth iPad keyboard stopped working. I got online and discovered that an update caused trouble with the shift keys for a number of people. I tried all the suggestions that they had and was unsuccessful. After all that, I tried the Bluetooth keyboard I use for my computer. The computer keyboard worked just great on my iPad. I then decided to try one of my two old keyboards where the stand that held the iPad had broken. That keyboard worked just fine. I then took the old keyboard from my old iPad case and replaced the newer (broken) keyboard on my newer iPad case. It works great and I think it looks OK. Noell gives me a hard time when I do some of these repairs, instead of just buying a new iPad case. I was excited because it took me about the same amount of time as I would have spent researching and buying a new keyboard and I didn’t spend any money. Even more importantly, one of the things that brings me the greatest joy in this life is to fix or ma...

Sick Weeks

Several weeks ago, I faced a terrible stomach ache. I tried to just deal with it, hoping it would go away. All night I was in such pain. By morning, we contacted the Harrisons and Michael came to give me a blessing. I then went to the Firth Medical Clinic (Shirley Bame’s suggestion). They gave me an injection that took the pain away. By Monday I was much improved, but the pain hadn’t completely gone away. The clinic called and put me on antibiotics. After a few more days, they suggested I see a specialist (gastroenterologist). When I got to him, he decided that because of the symptoms and the fact that Dean has Crohn’s Disease, that I needed an upper GI and a colonoscopy. While I was finally feeling better (after several weeks of illness) this week was difficult for me. On Monday, Tanner had his jaw surgery. Noell went to the hospital with him. I stayed with the twins. While I attempted to get some of my work done, my work suffered. I’d had a busy weekend, but on Monday and Tuesday I...
