Time has literally flown by in September......The check marks on my "to do list" reminded me that "If we don't try, we don't do: and if we don't do, then why are we here?"
I managed to do 17 posts in September....That deserves a thumbs up!!!!!!!
With 8 birthdays and 2 trips no wonder I'm tired. Here's a few other wonderful things I managed to do this month., that .....I haven't blogged about yet....
Taught a food storage class in my ward with Heather..We had 35 sisters show up..It was a lot of fun and we showed 3 tables full of new ideas..We had bottled chicken and hamburger that we canned..We showed how to preserve eggs for a yr. by rubbing mineral oil on them. We had lots of yummy things you could keep for 3-5 yrs.
Not only did we go to Rachelle's surprise birthday party but we went to my Aunt Marlene's 75 th b-day party..It was great to see cousins and share past memories.

Spent 3 days with my sisters and mom ..We just chilled and laughed a ton.... Robyn came up from Las Vegas, and we celebrated Leslie and Rhonda's Birthday..
We went to the women's broadcast and was spiritually fed..(I especially loved the last talk.)We had chicken salad sandwiches and fresh fruit and veggies, and a yummy dessert..... I also got to bond with "Beau"( my #22)..We sat and smiled at one another out in the foyer..
Let's not forget the Hair-cut and color, church, Visiting teaching, house cleaning, laundry, cooking and rubbing Mark, gardening, church calling......
LIFE IS GOOD ..But extremely busy!!!
The Lord has blessed me once again with energy and health to care for my family and meet all my responsibilities..I am absolutely nothing without his help..
This is me without the Lord in my life:
This is me, when I make Room for the Lord to be a part of life.
Mike has been given the nickname of "sally" on his football team...Not quite sure why but I think it has something to do with he's the 
Seriously Brandon was the most wonderful child to raise..Every mom should have a son like Peach..He never gave us reason to worry or doubt him..He was loyal and true and "always" tried to please his parents..He was an incredible son, a loving brother, and now he is a kind husband and father.
Brandon has always loved sports..He's a great basketball player, racquetball player, swimmer and a fantastic golfer.
Peach loves to play risk, and axis and allies..He's very competitive, and loves to win. Winning for the Lord's team was important as well.. He served a faithful mission in Arizona.. But perhaps the greatest win of his life was finding Heather..She is the love of his life..He truly found a wife who loved him and encouraged him to be his very best..
Brandon has completed every course he has ever pursued..He is the example of someone who is constantly striving to improve himself no matter how hard the journey..He has the drive to succeed at everything he does...Perhaps the greatest accomplishment to date is the wonderful family he and Heather have created..They are constantly teaching their children the gospel and live righteous lives.
I wrote a long tribute to Rhonda not long ago..Check it out
