a nice sunday...Nov 7th 2010

Madi and Lilly(my two nieces, my sisters girls) sometimes spend the night on a sat night and we take them to church w us. This was Sunday evening. I got the girls to massage my feet. I had one rubbing lotion on one foot/massaging and the other doing the other foot. What the life, lol! they finally said we are tired can we stop, but we had plenty of giggles and laughs. And were taking pics too. I am crazy cause i let the girls play w my camera. And that is Becky the one w her tongue out. She is 15 and admits last night she is 5 when i called her that, lol! My other sis Gayle is in the last pic.




Dressing up at work for Halloween and a sad day it became






I decided to dress up as an 80's rocker chick. I decided to put my creativity to work. I looked up ideas online and put this together. I already had leggings, i found the denim skirt on the clearance rack at Old Navy for 2.50(pretty good). I bought craft paint at Walmart and splattered it on it(thank you Sarah for the Idea) and set it w hairspray. I watched a video on YouTube on how to cut up a shirt, i used on old shirt. I had a hot pink tee already. Watched a video on how to do 80's hair, Makeup and found the Accessories in a few stores in the mall. Sarah is the Kitty cat, we have to same manager but she works down the way, the clown Linda is my co worker. It was such a fun day and to see all the other people that dressed up and since Halloween this year was on a Sunday they let us dress up on Sat too so this was Sat.
The Last Pic is one of my BFF, Farzana(know as Sapna). I have worked for Macy's for 13.5 yrs and she had worked for Macy's for 7 yrs. she was always the top at everything. I was no where even near where she excelled. But you know what to a large company they really don't care. I do love Macy's but at the same time i hate corporations. Cause this day she was terminated but she wasn't notified till the following week. Another coworker punched her and the do not contact policy was violated by that co worker. The decisions was made by HR national to just terminate them both. Idaho is a right to work state which means that any company can terminate anyone for no reason, and there is nothing you can do about it. Idaho is so beautiful to live in and the people are great but some laws i really don't like, like this and the 50/50 law when you get a divorce(which really means if your jerk ex won't pay the bills than you need to pay all 100%, lol I am laughing!) I was so sad cause i looked forward to seeing her everyday at work. Which we had tons of fun at work together. But not as sad as she was. I know it broke her heart cause she loved her job & me!

Costume and Donna Palmers Hallween party! 2010


i Was trying to find a costume to wear on Halloween . I bought this one and took it home. I tried so many but didn;t have much luck after my sister told me what i looked like in this one, I won't repeat what she said but to come from a 15yr old and i felt like a squeezed sausage anyways this one went straight back to Walmart.


Than on the Monday night before Halloween. A lady that is in our ward does this annual Halloween party that she has had for the last 17yrs i guess. she basically invites everyone from the whole Eagle stake. She has super Hero's Parachute out of a plane(batman and Spider Man) And than after the plane flew back and forth dropping candy from the sky, and they say things don;t come out the sky besides rain and stuff, lol. Well i will tell you all those kids there went crazy. If you lost your children it wasn;t worth finding them till it was all over. She provides hot dogs, popcorn, hot cocoa, & water. There was dancing in the barn, little wood stoves and little fires threw out the property to snuggle around and keep warm. There was a haunted hay ride which i didn;t go do. A pirate treasure hunt, which I didn;t do either. Becky, my mom and I went to this and we also took 2 of Lisa kids. Cali and Brock. I took Brock to the haunted house and you had to walk threw a pasture to get to it but at least the path was lit w pumpkins. I got to see lots of people a grew up w from our ward or the area cause Eagle was so small back than everyone new everyone and so on from younger people to older ones. So i did lots of visiting and catching up.



I got some new shoes in Aug. I was being silly one day and took pics of my feet. I will say i do love to shop. I am very much a girly girl! But there is one kind of shopping i just detest and that is the grocery store!

sand dunes


we went to the Sand Dunes one weekend in Oct the weather in Idaho was still nice and warm. The Sand Dunes are located in Bruneo right out side of Mt Home. I went my sister Lisa, Her Husband, Kids, Me, Becky and i picked up two of my older sisters kids. The kids had a blast they loved running and rolling down the hill. The babies had never touched sand before and they just loved it but the goal was to stop them from trying to eat it. Me and Lisa decided after we walked all the way up the hill, try walking up a hill in sand when you also slide and slip into the sand, we were so out of shape. The kids beat us up the hill in 2 secs. We decided that once we went down we weren't going up agian. Than we had lunch in the picnic area. There is a lake there too so later the kids playing in the sand by the lake. It was a nice day!

prayers

"The most meaningful and spiritual prayers I have experienced contained many expressions of thanks and few, if any, requests. As I am blessed now to pray with apostles and prophets, I find among these modern-day leaders of the Savior's Church the same characteristic that describes Captain Moroni in the Book of Mormon: these are men whose hearts swell with thanksgiving to God for the many privileges and blessings which He bestows upon His people (see Alma 48:12)." David A. Bednar, "Pray Always," Ensign, Nov. 2008, 42–43

Spirituality

"Spirituality—being in tune with the Spirit of the Lord—is the greatest need we all have. We should strive for the constant companionship of the Holy Ghost all the days of our lives. When we have the Spirit, we will love to serve, we will love the Lord, and we will love those with whom we serve, and those whom we serve."Several years after Joseph Smith was martyred, he appeared to President Brigham Young. Hear his message:" 'Tell the people to be humble and faithful, and be sure to keep the spirit of the Lord and it will lead them right. Be careful and not turn away the small still voice; it will teach you what to do and where to go; it will yield the fruits of the kingdom. Tell the brethren to keep their hearts open to conviction, so that when the Holy Ghost comes to them, their hearts will be ready to receive it.' (Manuscript History of Brigham Young, 23 Feb. 1847, 2 vols., ed. Elden Jay Watson, Salt Lake City: Elden J. Watson, 1968, 1971, 2:529.)"The Lord has prospered this work and will continue to do so. He is close to His servants, even within whispering distance."This latter-day work is spiritual. It takes spirituality to comprehend it, to love it, and to discern it. Therefore, seek the Spirit in all you do. Keep it with you continually. That is our challenge." Ezra Taft Benson, "Seek the Spirit of the Lord," Ensign, Apr. 1988, 5
