What "17" Years!

Wow, 17 years ago today. This is what we looked liked! Two young people in love thinking we could do it all. We had years of school ahead and the thoughts of a family. It snowed that day. We have the prettiest pictures with snowflakes in them. I got a bloody nose right before Jerry came to pick me up to go to the temple. I hoped it would go away fast. It was the day I had waited for my whole life, it was here all my dreams where going to come true. I was marrying my sweetheart!! Now 17 years later I have four beautiful girls they are my life I couldn't ask for better kids. And they have the best dad in the whole world. I want each of them to know that every boy they think of marrying a long, long time from now has to measure up to there dad. I couldn't ask for a better man. He is kind, thoughtful and he knows just what to say and do! He is perfect (well as perfect as me). I am living the dream I dreamed of 17 years ago. I get to be a mom and I'm a wife to a wonderful man. He still makes me light up when I see him each day. I live for the time of day when he returns home. I love to follow him around the house as he finishes things that need to be done.

My have we changed. I hope for the better. I'm totally in love with this man. He is my best friend. What more could you ask for in life! I just want him to know you are my whole world I live to be with you all the time. I'm so grateful to have you in my life!

I love you Jerry!

A fun Class I did!!

I spent my Saturday at a fun class and walked away with an awesome picture out of it. I would love to do a class myself. I need to have an order of at least ten pictures and wanted to see if any of you would be interested in doing it. The picture doesn't do it justice. When you are done you have a finish on it that makes it look like canvas. If you would like to see it you can stop by my house I did the Logan Temple.

Description of the picture is 18" x 24" temple portrait protected by a glassless finish and surrounded by a 4 1/2" chunky, black frame. The total size is 26" x 32" - - HUGE! A teacher will bring all of the supplies and stay to teach the class. The project takes about 2-2 1/2 hours and it really isn't hard.

The cost is about $50.00

Other temples available are

Salt Lake

Bountiful

Timpangos

Logan

Idaho falls

St. George

Maniti

Qquirrh Mt.

Turkey Day!!

Well, Guess what Christmas is on Friday and I'm caught up. Didn't hit my mark but good enough. We had turkey down at the community building this year. We have expanded to not fit in a home any more. We had a busy busy day. Justin and Kara and Tate (below) announced they are adding another Kidd to the fun!! YEAH!! We are so excited. Brad's family was all with us. YEAH! We love to have them all with us. Jamie taught us to make watches. We had so much fun we ran out of crab claws so we sent Stephanie to Michael's I remembered they where open.

Grandma got a new marble game from Charlie Little and the kids loved it. The little boys had so much fun.

We did some visiting.

We have cute boys don't we!!

Curt cleaned up for us.

And Brad made funny faces at the camera

Megan fell more in love with Nixon and I think he got so he liked her a little

Parker had fun with the bonkers that we where going to have for a musical number. But we got too busy with those watches.

Grandpa and Grandma did an awesome job with the hosting and make all the arrangements.

Our family, Nancy took pictures of everyone to send to the one missing 'Kidd' in South Carolina.
