Vrysnesis Meningas (Elder Manning)




My dad sent me some pictures of Jeff today, and I was so excited to get them. I wanted to post them on here to let you all who know him, see that he is doing AWESOME and what a strapping young man or man he is becoming. I love my little bro we have always been pretty close. I am thankful for the strength and example he is to me and my boys :) Enjoy the pics ;) I will post pics of him every now and then! He has been out in the field now for almost 9 months in a way it has flown by (if you say that in front of my mother, take a step back right after:) lol!!

Utah State hey Aggies all the way...Go Aggies, Go Aggies hey hey hey!!!









We went to our first Aggie game of the season last Saturday, courtesy of an early birthday present for Henry and I from Grandma and Grandpa. It was a fun game to watch and if you ask Henry, Borel had a great game because Henry had his number on his face. lol Henry was your typical boy at a game, he watched and cheered, ran around a little (with the VanLeuwen boys) and he even ate a hot dog. Believe it or not Harrison, was good and sat the whole game, and ate popcorn :), he would yell, cheer, and threw his arms in the air and say "Uhtdow" (touchdown) when the Aggies scored. Plus, it was AWESOME attendance 17,500 woohoo amazing environment. We are planning on going to the Fresno game tomorrow, so we will let ya know how that goes!! We BELIEVE!!

Lil H's B-day






Harrison is now officially 2!! Although his 'terrible 2' stage started hmmm...8 months ago. It was a fun day. I bought so much Buhyiyer (Buzz Lightyear) stuff I felt like I could've gone to 'Infinity and Beyond' or EEEEYOND!!! as Harrison would say. lol We had a fun little get together at Grammanita's on the 19th. I think that we will just make him think that, that is his real birthday. So that we can have our anniversary to ourselves. Is that selfish?!?! (We will tell him when he gets his drivers license) I decided to try and be a "good" mom and make the cake it turned out to be edible so thanks Betty Crocker! So Henry and I sang Happy Un-Birthday to him every day on the 19th, and 20th. Then finally on the 21st Henry reminded me not to add the 'un' part that day. Because it was the real thing. HAPPY BIRTHDAY Harrison John!! Love you little man :)

Mirror, mirror on the wall.....





Mirror, mirror on the wall.....yeah that saying works in Snow White. My saying goes like this... 'mirrors, mirrors not on the wall'... So, we started this past week with 3 mirrors in the house and we end it with 1. If it is true that it is 7 years of bad luck for a broken mirror, then I guess the next 14 years are going to be interesting perhaps eventful (but in a good way right??;). On Wednesday our full size mirror in our room fell and needless to say it did not survive, it shattered. Today Harrison knocked the mirror that I hang in the entryway down, and it landed on his head, and broke. Then about an hour after that he got stung on the forehead by a wasp in the kitchen. What a morning, where is the white flag to wave when you need it?
In a moment of frustration I walked outside to get some fresh air. While there I had a nice little chat with the mother-in-law. She kindly reminded me that "This to shall pass." I agree. Now life can throw things at you, that WILL pass, but sometimes while waiting for that process it can feel like a kidney stone it can be painful, may sting a little, or it seem like it's going take 10 stool softeners to help every thing be smoother, more bearable, and not hurt as bad when it does pass. At least that is how I feel. I look at this past week more as the kidney stone type. It just stung a little.
I have two sayings in my house, "Don't sweat the small stuff." The other saying is, "Find the good in everyday." I truly believe that you should not buy a sign with a saying on it, if you do not believe what it says. So I am not going to sweat losing 2 of our 3 mirrors in the past week. And I am going to find the good in today. The mirror did not cut Harrisons head open when it landed on him. And Harrison is taking a nap as I type!!! Yay :) So that is my blog for now. I just had to get these feelings out. lol Thanks for reading :) Plus I will admit it was a little "therapeutic" Till next time.
