THANKSGIVING




It is Thanksgiving. I have so many things to be thankful for.

I have 11 beautiful grandchildren. They are Thomas 13, Josie 12, Elias 5, Mashaela 4 , Jaynie 3, Alayna 2, Austin 1, Megan 1, Lucy 1, Rigden 4 months old and Garrett 3 1/2 months old. They are all very sweet spirits. I am so thankful their parents have been able to share them with me. It really amazes me how much I love each and every one. We also have a granddaughter due in March.



I am thankful for my mom. September 31 2008 my stepdad Ted Lowder died. She is so strong. She is an example for all of us. She knows the gospel well. I has given her a calmess through all of this. I would be very different if she thought she would never see him again. She is making quilts and doing her own thing.



I am thankful for Delwynn. He works very hard to provide for us. I am glad we have a nice home and we have heat, electric stove, a dishwasher and many modern day conveniences.



I am thankful for modern medicine. It provided us with a special blessing this summer. Jeff and Rebecca reaped the most benefits. She sacrificed tons to have Garrett. I am very grateful for her and all she does. He was born on August 11, 2008.



Rigden was born July 31 2008. His birth was very fast. They were only at the hospital for 40 minutes. Mashaela and Alayna enjoy "brother". Mashaela enjoys holding him. They are good helpers.



I am thankful for Jesus Christ. He has done so much for us. His eternal plan for us is wonderful. Eternal Families are totally awesome.



I am thankful for my children. They have grown and developed in so many ways. They take very good care of their children. I guess we did something right.
