fun summer so far

fun having brad back in town and looking forward to Kerri and the kids joining him soon..

May went too fast

Here we are on the last day of May--by OUR way of thinking -it went by too fast.  Welcome June and all the fun things that lay ahead...reminding you all that the family gathering for dinner will be this sunday.  we're shooting to eat at 1PM  (a change from previous months) as we should probably all be out of church by noon
I am making waffles and bacon..anyone can bring fruit, toppings ...I'll email this as well..also in Jun we are looking for sunshine and fun.  .

went to seminary graduation

I always enjoy the seminary graduations   that is what I got to do..last night--as I watched Christopher Lunt Graduate--afterward we went for Yogurt at the orange leaf--it was a wonderful evening  --congrats  Christopher

The house the Kirk's built

there is a rhyme that is entitled the house that Jack built.  I was thinking a lot about the "house that the kirk's built"  it is fun to make runs on the bike to that part of the park way and be the eyes and ears for the Kirks and send them  updates  via the cell phone or ipod...  its coming along great

my cup runneth over

I've been enjoying a wonderful spring..  it was so far filled with
*house sitting for keith and carrie and getting to know their family better
*substituting classes
* working on unfinished projects
*de-junking and organizing
* playing with grandkids
* going to dance recitals, pre-school programs and other spring time activities like seminary and HS graduation

 

Dear family,

as mother's day weekend approaches,  my thought turn to what truly dear mothers that Bryan and I have.

They both have so much in common. 

It it wonderful to think upon their good natures and their good qualities

We will always try to help you come to know them

We love that they had strong testimonies of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day saints

They tried to teach us the true principles of the gospel, they taught us by example.

They both had eight children

both had husbands that served full time missions

both  supported their husbands in busy work professions and lots of church callings (without complaining)

both served full time missions themselves

both served others --their families and also in the commmunity

both love music

both loved to smile and laugh

both loved to can and preserve food (well they did it--I guess they loved the work, of it I'll ask them someday)

both loved the scriptures

both loved their families

both Loved other people

How thankful we are to have been raised by two of the dearest people that we have ever known. 

 In a conference talk last conference Elder Packer said of his father, I hope to be the father that he was to me

I echo that sentiment...I hope to be  the mother that our mothers were to us

I love may--I love Mothers day

may is full of fun times like recitals of piano and graduations  like from pre-school and kindergarten, and on up
its full of sunshine and flowers and mothers day 
Happy mothers day to all you mothers...I have such joy in this calling in my life--thanks for giving me the opportunity to be your mother...too...it is the source of my grandest happiness and a title I most love
Lynda,, Grandma Lynda and Mom  and honey--(by bryan)  I love it all--though  I'm far from good at it

I'll try my level best to be all that I can and hope that in the Lord's eye's and my Bryan's and families eyes I one day come close to the mark--by oh how I love trying.
