Brett......

Brett is .....

kind, caring, loving, hard working, serves others, spiritual, talented, good cook, helper, excellent dish washer, fun, loveable, tender hearted, cute, jovial, likeable, funny, and my eternal companion.

I hate to see him disappointed and sad......

How do you motivate a bunch a men to understand that service is part of being a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints? It's part of the plan of happiness.

When we serve others we forget about ourselves and we receive joy and happiness in our lives.

Photo shoot.....

The other day I saw these apples hanging over from our neighbors tree and I just had to go out and take a few pictures. I woke up around 6:30 so I went out and took shots of the apples and then some of my neighbors flowers. It was fun....





I loved these roses....







Oquirrah Mountain Temple Dedication




I love the purple flower.
It's such a beautiful shade of purple.

These look like a minature wedding bouquet...

I took these pictures at the dedication of
the temple last weekend.
I couldn't get a a good angle to get the whole temple.
I want to go try again.
I loved these flowers....
Yes, I always go for the flowers because
they don't move and they are good posers...
ha ha ha ha lol...
Just wanted to share....



YUMMY DESSERT by Jan Tranchell




I don't know what this dessert is called but Jan made it for us at our last sister day so I made it last sunday for Brett and I.
It turned out looking so good I just had to take pictures. Doesn't it look scrumptous......
It's the easiest recipe.....
19 Ice cream sandwiches
1 large package of cool whip
1 ice cream topping ( i used carmel and hot fudge)
1 pkg of peanuts
1 candy bar
Unwrap the the ice cream sandwiches and put in the bottom of 9 x 13 pan. You will have to cut some of them to fill the bottom. (part of the sandwiches will be used for a second layer).
Then put a layer of whip cream over the top of the ice cream sandwiches. Then a random layer of the ice cream topping. Then sprinkle with chopped peanuts. Then arrange a second layer of ice cream sandwiches, coolwhip, topping and peanuts. Then shave off pieces of the candy bar with a peeler.
Put in freezer for at least 4 hours to set.
With the carmel, chocolate and peanuts it tastes like a frozen snicker bar... It feeds a lot because it's really rich and you only need a small piece to be satisfied...
YUMMY and very EASY......

Ahoy Mateys......

I be on a pirate ship today.....ARRRRRGGGHHHH.....
Remember those lazy days of summer....
Playing make believe.....
Using your imagination....
Being whatever you wanted to be.....
A pirate, a dancer, a singer, a chef, a teacher, a mom...
Whatever you could dream up....
I remember making up songs and singing them. I loved to sing. I would imagine myself traveling the world. Seeing all the places I learned about in school. I remember playing dress up in mom's old dance dresses. I remember making ramen taco's and pretending I was on a cooking show. I remembering being the teacher either in school or church whichever we were playing that day.
I played imagination with Ellee yesterday... She had me believing that her parents had bought a new car and she got to paint her chair pink and her mom painted her's purple because they didn't like blue like Taun and the boys.
I love how a child can help you find your imagination again.
I hope whatever you imagine today about your reality comes true.
DREAM AND DREAM BIG!!!!
