Seven Years......March 15, 2012

                                         If I had my choice
                                         Of daddies in a line
                                         I'd step right up and pick you out
                                         And say that you were mine.

                                          And so I'm glad 
                                          That when I came
                                          To Earth like all the rest
                                          Heavenly Father chose the Dad
                                           He knew I'd love the best.




I sure do miss my Dad.   It doesn't seem like seven years have passed since he was called home.  I know
he must be very busy and doing his part to build the Kingdom of God and I know he must be very happy
doing it.

How I have missed our chats about genealogy.  I am sure if I could get myself working in it again some way he would whisper to me which way to look.   How I long to see his sparkling eyes and the grin he always wore.  I loved his quiet moods too, when he would be in deep thought.  He always thought things through.

I miss his little songs that he would make up out of the blue.  The way he played little jokes and pranks to make you laugh out loud.  I miss his cooking, he had that magic touch of trying things that were new, and
most of the time they turned out great, except that mexican stew.........

I hope he's there when my time has come, to help me pass the vial , to see his friendly and loving face.  To put my fears away, I hope that I can do that.  I know with his help and Mom's it will be much easier to join them.


                                         

New Events in My Family........

Last Saturday Matt and Katrina took the girls to the public City Library for Cowgirl Days.  They really enjoyed it.  Thought I would share their day with all of you.  These are the kind of things that make wonderful memories with your kids.  I am glad that they take the time to do this.

Madison and Courtney 

Here they are with their horses and hats that they made.

 Another event this month was Drill Team tryouts for Emery High School.  Makalie Anne Morgan tried out and made the team for next year.  I am so proud of her.  She was on the team last year and had a wonderful time being a part of the Drill Team.  I hope that she has a good time this coming year.  I have a bunch of talented kids in my family.  I am proud of  all of their accomplishments.

Joshua Needles, I love him.  He has so much talent, in writing his own music and plays, in Chior , in plays at his school and in the community.   I just had the wonderful experience of going to the play "Bells are Ringing" in which Joshua took part in.  It was funny and entertaining and he did such a good job.  I  can't wait to see his next one..........

Josh and Rachel at "Bells are Ringing".  Everyone needs to see Josh in a play.

Guess Who is a Teenager?

That's right, Beverlie Marlena White turned 13 years old today.  How grown up she is getting (but she sure is silly sometimes).  Loves to talk, we have to tell her to be quiet .  I don't have a baby picture of her, but I do have one of her about 2 years after she came into our lives.  That would have made her 7  years old.  I love Beverlie very much, I love my relationship with her.  I love how she thinks about me and always asks me how I am.   Happy , Happy, Birthday Beverlie dear.  Welcome to your teenage years.

Beverlie, with Amie and Kaitlyn.  She was 7 years old.

Beverlie,  Now she is 13 and the fun begins.  Happy Birthday Sweetheart.
