lunch with (Sis) Jean Shupe

We had lunch with (Sis) Jean Shupe, she was a senior Sister Missionary in New Jersey. She and Colten sparked a great friendship. She used to live in Arizona and was here visiting her son and family. I had met her when she was here, before Colten finished his mission. We quickly became friends. She waited a long time to give her favorite return missionary a big HUG. I had a wonderful lunch, as they talked about New Jersey, the mission and the their memories. We adore you (Sis) Jean Shupe!

No this is not a drive thru grooming shop

On a busy Saturday morning, at Aardbark Grooming about 9:30 am, we experienced the loudest crash of glass, metal, undescrible, some thought it was a earth quake, who knows... but as it turned out, a car projected thru the front of my business, a customer thought she hit her brake.... NOT, it was her gas petal, and this was the result. WOW, we were blessed. Not a soul injured, not a animal hurt. Truly a miracle for sure. I know Heavenly Father was watching all of us!

Early Mom's Day

A early Mother's Day dinner with my Mom, and her sister Char from Michigan.
Aunt Char has a tradition of being in Arizona for Mom's Day. It is always great
to visit when she comes to town.

This is what makes me SMILE

Being with my grandkids, and enjoying there zest for life!

Mother's Day 2010

Realized that I did not get any photos of me with my kids, and didn't take any of Jayson, opps?





Here is one with Logan and Stacey, and another of Colten, Stacey and Steve...




Had a great time in Colorado.. Was great to be with all my kids! It had been almost 3 years since we were all together.

Welcome Home Elder Chad Dewey

About 2 years ago this great young man left to serve a mission in Russia. He has been a good friend and influence to Logan and Colten. He is like another one of my boys. This was Elder Chad Dewey before he left....

WELCOME HOME..... Elder Dewey

Make new friends, but keep the old.....

These are two of my bestest friends. They have always been there for me!
Denise and I went to High School together, but also are Michiganders.. living only miles apart when we were kids. Debbie and I have been "sisters" in the gospel for over 18 years. We have lots and lots of memories together! Thanks for being in my life!

Happy Birthday Kali

Senior Pictures

It was fun to take Meg's Senior pictures this morning. Still trying to fiqure when she grew up?

Hoppy Easter

It was fun to have Tristan stay over in Arizona, and nice to have the boys here too. A nice Easter day for sure!


Hum, do you think they were excited for their baskets..... I wonder?

Conference Thoughts

Easter Sunday is such a special day. I love that we get to listen to conference on that day to have the spirit with us all day long so that we can think about the true meaning of Easter, Christ's Resurrection. I love watching it. Everything about the church is so perfect and that's one thing I love about it. I am so grateful to have a living prophet on the earth today to give us counsel directly from our Heavenly Father. I know that the more valiant of God's children were saved for these hard times, because he knew that they would be able to be strong. I love my Savior and am so grateful for his sacrifice for my salvation.

Homecoming

So today was the day I got to hang the banner, and welcome another Elder Wells home!




Why do missionaries, have to be the last ones off the planes? Why do they walk sooo slow, down the hallway????

After 2 long years, it was awesome to wrap my arms around his neck... and HUG him so tight... and give him a kiss... What a great feeling!


Colten and Logan together again, it has been 3 months short of 3 years since these brothers were together... aww what a neat site it was for sure!

Glad your home, well done.... Elder Colten Wells!!! New Jersey is going to miss you!
