24th of July Week

Stacy and Chad arrived last Wednesday and just left today they were here and entire week with their little family.  Tasha and her family came up Sunday night and spent the day Monday with us.  It gets a little crazy with nine grandkids running around under the age of six years old, we did have Landon here for the last week, he helped out with the kids.  Stacy just left today about 2pm.  I am exhausted!!  I am so tired,  it is a lot of work with all these little kids running around, it's constantly cleaning up, I didn't get any pictures while they were here.  Craig's phone just quit working.  He was using my phone and my phone doesn't take the best pictures, he left today to go to Salt Lake to see if he can get a new phone and get things squared around.  We been dealing with that for about the last four days, it feels so good to just have some peace and quiet to myself, I do have a lot of cleaning to do, I have got to rest for a little bit I'm so tired!!

Aniston loves anything girly, just mastered potty training, Lincoln will do anything for her, Winston is her best friend, mommy is her favorite no matter what and she tolerates her daddy!😂 So sad but we are working on it.

My Family History Class

I serve at the Montpelier Idaho Family History Library on Wednesday afternoon, we have a meeting once a month and this last Wednesday we had training on some new apps connected to family search on our phone, Sister Taylor taught us about find a relative around you, we login to familysearch.org it will show who you are related to within 100 feet of one another, as I listened and watched I thought, "oh I'm not related to any of these people in Idaho."  They're all  Mormon pioneer ancestors but I logged in for fun and lo and behold there were about seven people in that very room that were my ninth and 10th cousins from little ol'Montpelier, Idaho.  I was literally shocked, it took me to about the 1600's across the ocean but we were first cousins several of them were related to my birth father sides.   I was fighting back the tears,  I was feeling all alone in this little Montpelier family history Library, kinda like an outsider and little did I know they were cousin's that I'm working with on the same day.   That's wild I can believe it,  I was so amazed!!  It's a fun app to play with.  it would be fun to try it at church on Sunday.  The Lord work is guiding my life!!  It confirms to me that I'm in the right place at this season in my life.
