Sometimes I'm smart

I lost the remote to my Garage door.  I only have one.  I couldn't find it anywhere.  AND I hate parking outside the garage especially when its cold.  So I decided I needed to buy a new one.  I bought one at Ace hardware and it didn't program with my garage door opener.  Then I bought hte following one online and it didn't have instructions how to program it.  So, I looked up on Youtube how to do it, and watched a video how to program a Martin Door that I have.  I followed the directions, and pushed the program button and the wrong lights came on, but it said then to press one more time and these other lights will come on.  Well, different lights came on, but I kept following the directions.  Then press the remote button, then back to the program button.  THEN try the remote.
What do you know, I programmed it!  IT works and has for 24 hours!  I had to climb up on a ladder and program it from the opener.  Sometimes I even impress myself.  I'm going to buy another remote so I have two.  That will save me if I ever lose this one again!

Love this.

I was a bit impressed with myself again when I finished this dresser.  I lightly sanded it, and painted it and replaced the knobs.  I had to reposition the bar pulls because the holes were too far apart since it is a super old dresser.  I had to drill new holes and fill the old with wood filler, then repaint the drawer front.  I think it looks great. I have never used wood filler before.  I didn't think it would look as good as it does.

These M and M's are filled with Nutella which I love Nutella.  However, they did disappoint.  They are not very good.  So sad.

I picked Nick up from Bountiful high and he passed his driving test!  yahoo.  Now all we have to do is go to the DMV and get his picture taken!  It is hard to pass the test the first time.  I think he was a bit nervous.

Birthday Love

I turned 53 on November 22.  I did get some of the following text messages.  They are not a very good picture of each one, because I just took a screen shot quickly.  This is not every one I got but some of them.  But it is fun to be loved and remembered.

Ty brought this over to me from Brooke and Ty.  So thoughtful.  Love it. 

My mother and I went to visit her brother Dale in the hospital then we went to Red Lobster after. She said it was my birthday dinner since I was busy on my birthday.  Love the Red Lobster and the lb of crab that we had!

Its fun to be remembered even if it means being a year older.  I never thought I would be 53!

Messages and More

This is a rambling of my thoughts and a few pictures that I have on my phone.


These are a common message I get lately...

We went to a musical fireside and these are Nick's church shoes...

this is Blake, McKenna and Jack.  Blake has been driving a dump truck and decided he didn't like it so he is going back to his job at ARUP.  This was one of his last days.

Jack was with McKenna and he does know how to clean a windshield...

This is Jack at McKenna's house...

Abi went to hang with Michelle when she was in St George.   Abi and McCall were so much fun on their trip. . . :)

I had to go to school for an SEOP meeting with Jack. Its some meeting with the counselors that they plan their schedule .  Jack wouldn't pose for me any more than this...

A Nursing Student

So, A while ago, Abi got into Nursing school at Dixie State.  She has worked so hard with school getting a 4.0, volunteering at various places, getting her CNA, working for Senior Helpers, that it all paid off and she got in for January 2020,  Way to go Abi.  You go and be you!  Be Awesome and be the best you can be.  I can't wait to see where this girl goes in life. 

Halloween

My favorite Holiday is Halloween. Absolutely love it.  Someone can do whatever you want for the holiday. If you are festive, then answer the door and give out candy.  If you are not festive, then turn your light of and stay in the basement.  Dress up if you want or don't. It is especially more fun for me since I don't have to get my kids costumes together.  But that was super fun too.

Now I just send my college kids packages full of HUD.  Just to say I am thinking of them and I love them.  It is mostly reeses peanut butter cups.  Thats our favorite. I try to mix it up with Kit Kats because they were Melanie's favorite.  Oh, and everyone always needs some Halloween HUD.  

And I put some money in it.  Not much, but something to go to lunch or get a frozen Yogurt.  

We had Papa Murphys pizza for dinner at our house, and gave out candy.  jack went out with his friends and Nick slept the entire night.  It was a win for everyone.  I even had tons of candy left over because it was so cold that we didn't get the usual amount of trick or treaters.

Nick Gets asked to Christmas Dance

After our leaf hunt, we arrived home and this is what we found on our Porch.  

Nick got asked to the Christmas Dance by Brynn.  He seems to be a hot item.

Leaf Hunt 2019

Our Annual Leaf Hunt was a hit.  Problem was we waited too long to schedule it and it was snowing on our scheduled Sunday.  We decided we better hold it and have it at Gma's house.  We had our BBQ or hot dogs and hunted leaves in the back yard.

This is Jack and his prize of a box of Candy. 

                                                               This is the prize table. 

All in all it was a great Leaf Hunt.  It is more fun to go to the Canyon.  Everyone that is available comes to the leaf hunt.
