Little odds and ends - trying to play catch up.

Left over picture from Thanksgiving I think.  Here is Cam with her Arizona family.  All (or many) of the cousins on her dad's side.  Love that cute girl front and center :)

Christmas Gifts for the ward from the Relief Society (TP and hand sanitizer)
As 2020 comes to a close, we may wish to FLUSH all trials of these past few months away.
Hopefully we can remember the lessons we have learned, and most importantly,
that we can rely on the Lord's protection as we strive to HEAR HIM daily. 

We had a visitor at our place

I love to capture memes from the internet and share them. 

Thatcher got braces !!

So many people participated in the Prophets call to flood social media with thankfulness #givethanks, and now we are Lighting the World for the month of December.  Loved to see this post !!!

Roger would say this is TOTALLY TRUE

Special post by CJ that took Morgan Moms Facebook by storm !! 

Love my beautiful Poinsettia that we got through Brightyn's fundraiser for tumbling.  It was used extensively in our Ward's Christmas Devotional which was filmed last Sunday, and will be broadcast on the ward's YOUTUBE channel NEXT Sunday, the 20th. 

I bought The Forgotten Carols, and have been passing it around to anyone who would like to see it.  It is wonderful :) 

Love my little CHRISTmas tree.  Krista Adams built me the box to put it on.  So happy !

Our Relief Society Presidency - Me, Vicki, Jody, & Sara
This is what is looks like in the year 2020

We have sure seen alot of changes in the 3 years we have served.

Councils in Relief Society (once a month, in a circle)
Ministering instead of Visiting Teaching
2 hour block change - Relief Society only 2 times a month
COVID - No Church (March-July)
Social Distancing - get together at the Property
COVID - Sacrament only (July-Oct)
COVID - Zoom RS meetings 2 times a month
What is next !?!?!?

We were able to get together last Sunday (Roger, Gwen, Mark, Carrie, Erika, Aaron and Tiana) with mom and dad and present them with our Christmas present.  It turned out so well. 

Bright finally got her tooth out with a little help from her dad !
She is a BRAVE GIRL !!

After putting it off for weeks (of warm weather), we braved the 19 degree temperature yesterday and got the Christmas decorations up to the cemetery. 

 

Last but not least - Manda texted me this picture.
Apparently the story I told the kids years ago, about Stephen King's story of THE MIST is still freaking her out (haha) - Love you Manda !!! 

Little bit of this.........a little bit of that.............

I made some green tomato chili verde salsa !  I'm quite the canner this year :)

Cam's new tile in her tub.  Part of the remodel going on in AZ.   She loves the little cubbies for all of her "product".  

Here's the B-sting boy with a FAT LIP.  Dang that hurt :(

Bright made this cute skirt all by herself at her sewing camp.  Way to go Bright. 

Hmmmm......he's trying out something.......... and YES !!  He likes it !!

I made homemade tomato soup and filled TWENTY of these containers to freeze.  There is almost 2 quarts in a container, and when you get it out to thaw to eat, you add milk or cream.  It is so yummy.  I broke two of them out this past weekend down at the property in a crock pot, and the grandkids all loved it.  They could tell it wasn't the usual Campbell's, but they still liked it.  Yeah !!

He finally did it !   It's been loose for a month or more since he got kicked in the teeth by his sister (Yikes!).  He wouldn't let anyone touch it, but he finally did it himself :)

Cole came up to visit LuAnn with Jerry.  He is LuAnn and Jerry's sister, Judy's grandson.  We haven't seen him for about 8 years.   Rog was able to go up to visit and have lunch with all of them. 

Treyson all LIT UP.  Happy 15th birthday big guy. 

Missing her..............we get a text every once in awhile, but she's very busy with life, and school, and work, and friends.  LOVE YOU CAM !!

My new furniture addition.  LOVE IT. 

More of the AZ remodel - at least they are back in the house.  I can hardly wait to see the new cupboards/island bar, and paint. 

Me and Bright at Payson's football game.  She's always up for a selfie :)

Chatting with Nana Daw, and Rylee, and Grandpa Jim at Treyson's Freshman football game.  He had just come over from practice.  

Picked the last of the tomatoes.  Erika took one bucket, and we are going to juice the rest of them when they ripen.  It's been a banner year for tomatoes. 

Thatcher's Football team after their last regular season game.  They will go to the playoffs next week.  I don't know all of them, but there is a Nelson, and a Lott, and  Meibos, and a Nava, and a Walker, and a Judd, and a Sparrow, and of course front and center is our Thatcher, #46.  He wore red socks so this Grandma could tell who he was out on the field.  

Tagg got to play under a full moon and the lights for his last regular season game last Saturday night.  His team is also going to the playoffs. He is #44, and has on the BRIGHT GREEN socks, so we can spot him easily.  He plays CENTER, and has done an exceptional job.  This year has been so great, and I can hardly wait to tell the coaches THANK YOU for being the kind of coaches that kids need to have.
