12-12-12

That is a once in a life time date...

12-12-12

Seems that is also my birthday...

Stan asked me if I wanted to do anything for my birthday...

My answer was 'I want to stay home'

Good decision.

Mary Becky Melissa and Steve came in on me with a surprise...

They tried to make it at 12:12 

But there was some hangups with the food they ordered.

Doesn't matter...

It was still in the noon hour

And that didn't really matter either...

 Becky Stan Diana Mary Steve 

(Steve came back in from outside to be in the picture.  

Bags on his feet to protect the floor and his reflectors really glow.)

 Mary Becky Melissa and of course Ross the boss.

 They brought Kneaders soup and bread bowels and Melissa made the most delicious apple desert...

Add vanilla icecream and well we were all in heaven.

 Mary took our old family picture (right) and had it digitally restored Left...

I think that was about 1986

 The camera does not do them justice...

All must come and visit...

I was blown away...

We got some of those nifty heat packs that can be used and then boiled and used again..

AND it smells like lavender...

Beth and Esther's family sent video's of their children telling my why they like their grandma...

I see I need to keep my freezer full of creamies for sure...

AND

Maybe I give my kids to much stuff...

 Sydney sent this card out with her mom...

Made me cry...

I also got a sweet letter from Sierra....

BUT it wouldn't show up on the camera very well.

The next time this date will roll around it will be 2112...

don't think I will be around to see it...

I did my visits this week...

I missed them last week.

I love it love it love it....

On the way home from the temple today I just had to take pictures of our mountain...

It is so welcoming....

that is home and it feels really good..

Having them here was certainly a wonderful surprise...

I am sending this out Thursday evening because we are flying back to Alabama Friday through Monday...

Sarah and Chad and family are being sealed to their new children...

Breonna and Isaiah...

We are all pretty excited...

Each of us is an inkeepter...

who decides...

IF

there is room for...

Jesus...
