I love Christmas

 

 

 

For those who came to Eagar this year it was fun to get together for dinner on Christmas day and for the Nativity on Christmas Eve.

Christmas is so wonderful!

 
 
 
 
I just love this time of year when we get together with family! It's an amazing thing to commemmorate the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ and feel such love and peace because of HIM...Without his birth NONE of us would have any hope. Do we all really realize that??? It's wonderful!

Buddy Graduated from ASU this month!

 
My parents were able to attend with us the graduation of Buddy from ASU in a Construction Engineering major. It was a wonderful day and I'm grateful we were able to attend. This took place Dec 18, 2009

It's almost Thanksgiving

This is such a great time of year. I attended a Blessings Party last night. Talk about wonderful! What could be better than a blessings party to focus in on what is great and wonderful in a persons life? I learned 5 important things to do every day to stay on top of the world. It's a list of 5 things that a person can do EVERY day to change their life for good. The 5 things are:
1. As soon as your eyes pop open in the morning ask yourself this question: What do I LOVE about myself? Then give an answer......
2. What do I have to look forward to today?
3. What does Heavenly Father want me to learn today?
4. Who can I serve today?
5. What am I grateful for?
AND THE LAST THINGS IS: LAUGH OUT LOUD EVERYDAY! (That's just an added bonus)

So....you are guaranteed to change your life in 14 days if you do each and every one of these things every day for 14 days. Try it....If it doesn't work, and you honestly do it for 14 days and don't notice a difference, I will give you a thousand dollars or the biggest bag of M&M's they make. (Hmmmm....which one will I choose?)

Pat and Ted at the Pyramids in Giza, Egypt

We had a wonderful time in Egypt in September and I decided I had better post a picture to prove we were really there. The Ali family were great hosts and we appreciate their hospitality.
Now we are back to life in Eagar. YEAH! The leaves have changed to a beautiful red, orange, and gold.

Wow! Summer is over just like that!

What a fast and furious summer is was for me! I did a lot of running around. It seemed like I was always coming home, unpacking my suitcase, washing my clothes, repacking my suitcase, leaving again in time to start the whole process over again. BUT consequently I had a ton of fun! We spent time in Tucson, Mesa/Phoenix, New Mexico, Idaho, and Utah. We got Preston ready for his mission and he has been in the MTC one week today! He has written home that he LOVES LOVES LOVES it. You might want to check out his blog for updated letters about him. His address is elderprestonhaws.blogspot.com.

Life is GOOD!

We had a most amazing weekend with all our children and grandchildren at Roosevelt Lake over Memorial Day Weekend. We enjoyed being on the lake in Buddy and Trisha's boats and watching the kids have fun in the water. Okay....we had fun in the water too I must admit! But it sure wasn't as easy to pull yourself up into the boat from the water as it used to be!
