Little Jace a Chosen Spirit!

I just wanted to share my weekend with you all. I spent Saturday at little Jace's funeral in Perry. What an awesome funeral it was. For a little guy that didn't spend a lot of time on this earth he touched many lives. Daryl and Ashley talked and what an amazing job they did. I can't get over the strength you both have. You are amazing examples to me. I'm very grateful that we know you will see little Jace again. And I'm grateful for having such awesome people in my life like you guys and all the wonderful people that I have. You are all such amazing examples. It makes you realize how much you have at times like this. It makes you want to strive that much harder to be better in all you do. I came away with a renewed look at life and the fact I need to be better. I want to have the strength that Daryl and Ashley have. I do believe with all my heart that we will all see little Jace again. And I can't wait to watch Daryl and Ashley raise such a shining son of our Heavenly Father. They are such chosen people to get to raise that little spirit. I'm grateful for my children that they are here in my life and such examples. I just want Daryl and Ashley to know you are great examples to me. And you are amazing people so strong and such special people. Thank you for your example and letting me be part of your little family we enjoyed the day so much!

My Dear Friend!

The saddest thing in the world happen last weekend and I can't imagine what they are going through. One of my dearest friends lost her baby last week. And we all have an opportunity to help them through this fundraiser. Most of you know Daryl and Ashley Larsen. For those of you who don't, they are a young couple here in Perry, who just lost their baby to a rare lung disorder. Their loss is truly a tragedy. They are now experiencing the beginnings of what will be a land slide of medical bills. In an effort to aide them, there will be a one day fundraiser at the Maddox Steak House. On November 5, you can call Maddox at 723-2916 and order the Turkey Steak dinner. You can choose the 2 or 4 family meal at the regular price. All proceeds will then be donated to the Larsen family. You do need to remember to mention the Larsen family name when ordering. You can then pick up your meal at the take out window in the back of Maddox. It will be for lunch and dinner. Please spread the word. Feel free to copy and paste this post on your blog.

Here he comes!

Well today is the day. Landen enters the MTC. We all went out last night for a light dessert and to say our goodbye's. It was and enjoyable little visit til we had to say goodbye. I could cry thinking about it. It is really hard to watch my kids say goodbye through tears especially my little ones. We keep telling them how old they will be when he gets home and what grade they will be in. WoW I hope it flies by that fast. I have thought about them all day. Hoping their day went well and that Nancy is doing okay! We sure love him and know he will be a great missionary!! These are the pictures from the dinner on Sunday after his farewell. He did a great job talking!

Jaxson had a good time chasing Olivia around once the tables were taken down.

Brian, Mindi and Karalee visiting!

Little Tater TOT! Isn't he such a cutie! He sure looks like Justin!

Nancy getting pictures of everyone and Grandpa taking care of the garbage!

Some cuties aren't they!

Curt made sure the tables where all cleaned off before we put them away!

While the rest of enjoyed watching. There really wasn't much we could do! REALLY!

It was a super day spent with family. We sure will miss him but we know that it is where he needs to be! He will be a great missionary! We love you Landen!

Thought you would like to see!!! WE DID IT!

Well today was the day. We finally got Jerry to take a day off (well it was really a half day). We rented the chainsaw and off we went. I must admit Jerry enjoyed the chainsaw a little to much. He started by trying to carry it like the axe men do on axe men (great show) but this one was alot smaller than there's so it didn't work. He made the first cuts to the front so it would hopefully fall where we wanted it too. Making the final cut so it will fall!! We tryed to get the animals to stay away and they finally did they enjoyed the show actually. And Nicole was so good she got it on video. You will have to turn side ways since I have no idea how to flip even a picture let alone a movie. She got the whole thing falling. AWESOME! I had to hold the rope to help guide the tree a little. And the sucker fell right where we wanted it to fall!Wohoooooo! It is all cleaned up and done YEAH!! I can't say that enough it has been over a month since I could mow in certain spots. No one got hurt or swashed so it was a success!!!!
