Sunday News of the random and a little sad variety

It is fall finally in AZ. the kids wouldn't get in the car after church because they were playing in the leaves.


sadly i have to say our surprise puppy Ruby passed away today. we checked on it this morning but by the time we got home from church she had died. i think Rosie didn't have enough milk. i thought she was doing fine, the puppy was eating all time. but Rosie never looked engorged like she had in the past with other litters. sad. The Girls were all concerned and had to call grandma Jones. it happens. the circle of life and all. no one cried. it isn't the first time we have lost a puppy. she was a little girl and we were going to keep her. so that is a little sad. who knows if Rosie will have anymore litters. we'll have to wait and see.


other than that we went to our new church time. whoohoo 11 am. and actually made it before the Sacrament. yeah we missed the very beginning and the opening song but we did better than usual. and i was in the hall for the bulk of the meetings. which is LAME. Pierce is a freaking nightmare. being loud , throwing cars, his bottle, cereal. wandering around and making friends with other people.I had the pleasure of getting up a few times because he figured out he can open the door and leave , and went in the hall, i was sitting on the end next to the door. so not fun. it's good thing that kid is cute. and mine. or I'd be giving him back. OY!

also i had a mega sinus headache. still having the sinus issue. ouch! so a hot shower and a nap didn't even touch it this afternoon . and like i have said before no cold remedies with thyroid meds. so none for me. . AHHHHHHHH it is that time of year. not fun. plus i have had an earache and swollen lymph nodes too. is it related ? who freaking knows. yeah. good times. but life goes on.

and tonight my sister dropped in with her Family and had dinner with us. it would have been fabulous and fun but i had to leave for a baptism fireside with Paxton. they invite all the kids turning 8 to come and get the info so they can be ready when their birthday rolls around . so Paxton and i went alone. AND then at the end? they gave out the hugest #8 sugar cookie ever!

it is a tradition in our ward and i have to say it is my fave. i was worried they wouldn't but they pulled through. whoohoo! best part? after my shower i laid down to nap , got right up to help cook dinner, and then left immediately to go to the fireside, never looking in the mirror, my hair, not fab. but it was fine since i never looked in the mirror i have no idea how bad it was. that and no makeup. HOT!


and today was Hope's first Sunday in Jr. Primary as a sunbeam! here she wearing her fabulous crown they made. Backwards but happy she went to her class! yay Hope! We have no one in Nursery right now. shocking! this has never happened before.

Pierce starts nursery next month. 3 more weeks like this and we will be thrilled to pawn him off on them. Holy cow! that kid! Lance was under the impression that Pierce was the first kid we were counting down the weeks until they could go to nursery . Ha i laughed in his face! we counted down with the first two and after that they went early since Lance was in nursery for 4 years. they started just going with him as soon as they got loud and mobile. ahhh makes me wish Lance was in nursery and not scouts. 3 weeks. 3 more weeks. will i die before then? no but i might wish i could !

oh and i used my word of the year today
I tried to be on time for church.
i made the effort to try to be happy about it even thought i felt like crap.
i tried to go to Sunday school
i tried to sit through all of relief society.
successful day.
