YW General Meeting

What a beautiful evening with our ward young women and leaders. I look forward to hearing from our General YW's Presidency, and Apostles every year; Even better to be able to go into the conference center. The talks were inspiring. They reminded me of my divine nature and that my Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ love me, and are always there for me.
I'm so grateful to be apart of the YW's organization. They keep me young at heart. I sure love these young people. To look around this massive building and see so many good young people, helped me remember there is so much good in the world today.

Baby Shower via Face Time

My nephew in Arizona just had their first baby boy! Braylen Tate Westergard is absolutely darling! He weighed 9 lbs 6 ounces, and 21 inch tall. Yes, a big boy. We are so happy for Joshua and Amy!!

A couple weeks ago I threw them a baby shower via Face Time. We have more family here than there and with all the miles in between us it was the only way. We got together and had some yummy food and then logged on to Face Time where they were all gathered at my sister's home. We had sent our gifts ahead of time and were able to watch her open them and visit a bit. It was so good to see them. This is the second shower we have done this way and it has been a lot of fun.

Family is so important, and I'm grateful for modern technology that makes it so easy to keep in touch with them.

 This is my sister Jana -( Nana)

COLOR RUN ~ The Happiest 5k on the Planet!

I took a short trip to Arizona, to run the Color Run, in the "Team JaKelle" with my sister this last weekend. I have to say it was the "Happiest 5k on the Planet". We had a great time.

Even with the rain all weekend. It didn't stop raining until I went home. Sorry Arizona for bringing the Utah weather with me.



Jana & Lynn

This was after the first color station. There were four along the route. At the orange Jana got pelted in the ear. For a few days after the race she was digging orange out of her ear and I was getting blue out of my nose. I still have traces of green on my feet.

Amy and Josh

She is due the first part of March with a little boy ~ Braylen.

This is my sister's family. Lynn, Amy, Jared, Lexi, Courtney (girlfriend), Jesse, Jana, Josh

 

We had l lot of fun!! Although it didn't taste very good. People were dressing in tutu's, wigs, and all kinds of crazy things. It was intertaining just watching the people.

 

 

There were many of JaKelle's friends there to support the family, and it did my heart good to see the love and support still pouring in around them.

 

 

JaKelle, you will always be in our hearts!! We love you!

I'm Back!! It's been so long since I posted last. I just had to say ~ I had a great time at the Favorites tonight!! Thanks for letting me be with all you wonderful ladies!! Tiffany, I love that we like the same things. Can't wait to do it again.

Family Life

Kudos to my son Keith, for finishing his first half marathon in 1:52:40. He ran the Salt Lake City Marathon with his father in law Tom. Great job to you both!!

 It's been a bit since I last posted on my family happenings. This was our Easter egg coloring night. The girls were so fun. I think they would have done 20 dozen eggs if I would have had them. I tried a new way of coloring this year. I found it on Pinterest. I used Cool Aid. The only problem was I couldn't find some of the colors so we were limited. The yellow was too light to make a difference, but the red, orange and greens were beautiful.

I didn't think we would be able to do our egg hunt. The weather was so up and down. It was a little cool, but at least there was no snow. Kate was a pro at finding the eggs. Megan needed just a little help. She still walks past the bushes and points to them. I remember after last years egg hunt, Kate talked about going out and doing an egg hunt for months.

Oh how I love my little family. I don't know what people do without their family. It's been a ruff month and they are the one's I turn to for love and support when anything goes wrong. I love you to the moon and back!!

Our Love for JaKelle!

My post today is in honor of my niece Jakelle Michelle Westergard. She is in the Phoenix Children's hospital in the ICU. She is very ill and we are going yellow to show our love and support for her. It's overwhelming to see the love and support that has been shown for her. I will try to post more about her story a little later, but today I'm turning my blog yellow for her. I love you JaKelle! Keep fighting!!

Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day

Last evening for family home evening we had our Valentines dinner and

caught some cute pictures of family. We had fun with some

glow sticks, but none of the pictures turned out.
Keith and Sara are two of the most photogenic people I know.

Don't they make a beautiful couple?

These sweet faces bring us more joy than words could ever express.





She was smiling great for daddy.

Happy Valentine's Everyone!

Have a wonderful Day.
