Our pool party at the motel, we had a great

Prayers ARE answered!

Left to right: Ron Ekins, Shirley Ekins, Kathie Ekins,

Dad, Me (behind me Joe Goodall), Terrie Card, Doug Card,

What a special blessing this is in our lives!
Dad, after 80 years has decided he wants
to go through the temple and he wants to
do his own temple work while he is on
this earth, he doesn't want someone
else to do it for him.
He started going to church a few months ago
and has been prompted by the spirit.
He was ordained a priest on Sunday,
June 7, 2009. We were all present and
it was the first time as a family we have all
sat together in Sacrament and witnessed our
father partake of the sacrament.
I know that Heavenly Father hears and
answers our prayers, not always in the
time frame we hope and wish for, but in His
own time. I have prayed for my Father for
10+ years that he might have the desire to
have the gospel in his life, that his heart may
be softened. So I know that my prayers have been
heard and answered and I am so Thankful to a loving
Heavenly Father who knows us and the desires of
our hearts. I am grateful this day for my Dad, husband and family.

Grey or Black Shutters?????

So when we bought this house
a year ago, it had grey shutters
minus the red star.

Front of house

Porch.........

Black shutters that we painted
a few days ago....

North side of house

So now tell us what you think....grey or black
shutters??????!?!?!?

Hairspray?

I need a good holding hairspray.....I have tried several
store brands...yuck!! And I have tried some called
finishing sprays, and others that sounded like
they might hold for more than a minute,
but to no avail. Nothing seems to work.
So if anyone reading this knows of an
excellent hairspray that will keep the
hold, I would be so appreciative of any
ideas you may have. I think I have tried
practically all of the cheaper brands
with no luck. I might have to move on
up to the higher quality brands...any suggestions??????

Mother's Day!

I had the best Mother's day ever! It is amazing how you feel when you
are surrounded by your loving husband, children and grandchildren.
I had lots of nice gifts, and Joe made me breakfast and dinner:)
He was so daunting all day and it was so nice
as a mom to just sit back and not have to worry about
anything. He just did it for me-Thanks honey!
It was so wonderful to have my children & grandchildren
here to spend the day with me also. They bring sunshine into my life.
It was just a wonderful day. We ended it by putting flowers on my
Mom and grandma's grave and visiting with Joe's mother. We
all had a great time. We went to church and usually I come
out feeling like such a failure, but our ward did it a little different than we
had heard before. They had the men talk. They talked a little about their wives
and their mothers and mother-in-law's, but the best one was when this brother
got up and told a little story about his son and wife and that he loved his wife, but
he also said he didn't want his whole talk to just focus on her, but he wanted to
include all the mother's...he went on to say that he knew how we as mom's go out
feeling like we are so inadequate, and how we are NOT inadequate, and this
is Satan making us feel this way, he prides himself in making us feel terrible
as mothers and it works because we all at some point feel that way. I was so touched to hear
that, when I expected to walk away like every Mother's day feeling like such
a failure, but his talk made me remember who I am and Satan does try to
make us feel less about ourselves. It was so nice to hear that we as mothers
ARE ADEQUATE! We just need to be reminded once in awhile and what better day
to remember that than on Mother's day. We usually end up beating ourselves up about
being less or comparing ourselves to others. I am so THANKFUL to a loving
Heavenly Father who loves each one of us...he knows each of us and knows
that we as mothers are ADEQUATE...so this is a reminder to all you mom's to remember
you are the best mother in the world! I hope you all had a wonderful Mother's day!
