Grandma and Grandpa with the delightful and entertaining littles!

The awesome and amazing men in my family!

The gorgeous and multi talented women.

What a dreary and lonely world this would be if we had to travel it alone. Our Father in Heaven, in his great wisdom has given us " FAMILY ".

Fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, cousins, grandparents, aunts, uncles....to help us navigate our way through lifes perils and joys. Special individuals to help and support us, to cheer us on and give us strength as we run the challenging race of life, to pick us up when we stumble and fall, to love us no matter what and to always be there for each other. May we think good thoughts about one another and speak kind words, may we lift and serve and be concerned with the individual needs of each family member.

Yesterday we had our monthly family dinner and birthday party. I sat in awe as I watched and listened to these young people that mean the most to me and make my life so meaningful.

Where did these strong, funny, talented, kind and intelligent people come from. Well I can only tell you that this family must have been close friends in the premortal world.

I am blessed....

Dear friends and family,

May your table overflow with plenty.

May your heart be filled with love, peace and kindness.

May your countenance shine with the spirit of Christ.

I wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

I really do have the cutest grandchildren :)

A few weeks ago my wonderful family came together to take new pictures for Grandma and Grandpa to put on our wall. I still have a long way to go before they are on the wall, but I just wanted you all to see the delightful and beautiful grandchildren that are mine.

Thanks to all of my children for the wonderful job you are doing... raising your children... it's not an easy thing to raise little people with personalities all their own. But I think that each one of you are doing a marvelous job.


Love, love, love you all, Mom Y.

Happy Easter

Sometimes I think that what I have to say is not important.
Sometimes I feel like what I have to say is boring to others.
Sometimes I am really shy about putting my feelings into words.
It's like praying in public, you feel self concious and you don't know what to say.

But what I have to say today is very important...

I am grateful for the birth, life, example, atonement and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
He is everything to me!
I testify that he lives!
May you all have a beautiful Easter Weekend.

Whoops...

"Finally feeling better" was supposed to be the title of my blog..not the blog itself. I guess I pushed the wrong key because a customer came in or was it because I found myself having a coughing fit for the 3000th time.
Actually after 2 full weeks of the flu (starting the day after Valentines),being quarantined to my house by the doctor, one week of regaining my strength in tiny increments and still an irritating cough I finally felt like putting on make-up again to come to work. It's amazing how many people told me I look good instead of looking like death warmed over.

It really makes me appreciate good health and gives me empathy for people with life long illnesses. Can I just tell you how good it feels to feel good!:D
