visitors/ phone calls joy--of joys

Hi family

U know I love keeping in touch with blogging..I thought today how many pictures I might not have seen from all of you otherwise.. I think of it as our family new letter in a nice format....

remember how I used to try to do news in a minute through email as the way of being the "hub"

of the wheel for our family and keeping us all in touch with each others comings and going?

well I think the blog was an answer to my prayers as we are apart from each other --but still loving and caring and praying for each other...now we are just more aware of each others joys and sorrows.

one of my joys this weekend including today was the sunday phone calls and the visit of the family. this is as always my joy of joys... in addition to our immediate family I was able to have James, Megan fuller and courtney come up too...I know that they were busy with finals this week but they seem to enjoy the get away and the food and visit and it made my day to see them. I really appreciate each of you and all you do to call and come and call each other.

have a nice week. love mom

james and Megan and Coutney came for dinner

General Conference

Couldn't think of anywhere I would have rather been Sat *& Sun than listening to conference

wasn't it wonderful to see the mantle of the prophet on Pres. Monson. I enjoyed so many talks I don't know where to start..but I especially liked Elder Ballard, Elder Monson and Elder Holland

but all were wonderful. I think it was a choice experience to be a part of it all. How thankful I am for my testimony and to be a member of this the restored church with all the keys of the preistood in this dispensation of the fullness of times.

hi family.

happy 3rd anniversary this month

happy anniversary 3rd anniversary (this month on the 23rd--just 20 more days.).. these engagement pics taken feb 4, are my favorite
when Bryan showed us the ring I thought it was the most beautiful ring engagement ring I had ever seen--but it wasn't just the ring that brought all the excitement--it was that you brianne were back from you mission and bryan was recovering from his accident and could kneel down and propose. and it was the right people--the right place the right time-

- Your sealing was so wonderful to attend. I still remember some of the things said --but mostly I just remember feeling so blessed to be your family and be a part of your lives, because you two are such a powerful team together.
We love you so much and we are so happy you include us in your lives---Mom and dad

view pics below at your own discretion--today I see the dr.

view the pictures below at your own risk.............my intent was to document the journal entry --(not to gross people out) I look at them every day so it doesn't bother me anymore --but it might you---maybe I'm just going for sympathy---(is that a cry for help? that's a line from what about bob -movie) I did throw in one pretty picture to be cheery--and bright...

I am happy to be typing a short note and report improvement --I get to see the dr. today. I am happy I will be getting excersises assigned to me. these exercises are for the purpose to get the arms back into shape..at the first of the week--I had to use my left arm to hold my right arm up --to my mouth to brush my teeth/or/& comb my hair...but each day they get stronger and more independant.

Tough Mama

Hi everyone! It is Nancy here. I am posting for mom since her hands are out of commission. I wanted to let everyone know how great mom is doing, but also wow what a surgery. Remember this is the first time the doctor has done the surgery on two hands at once and you can see why. They found the unhealthy tissue, like they thought they would. So from that stand point it was a huge success, but now she just has to recover. Here are few pictures to let you see what recovery looks like and oh, do you like what my girls think the arm things are for? We love you mom! Hope you feel better soon!
