It's been two weeks since I posted my last "Thankful Sabbath", so as they say on "Dancing With The Stars" (yes, I admit I watch it!) here are the top thirteen reasons, in no particular order, for me to be thankful:
1. My wrist surgery went well, and I have less pain than I have had all year!
2. Experiencing morning scripture study with the Peters' Girls this past week--they know 24 hymns in Spanish and their Scriptures are used and worn, evidence of daily study.
3. Treavor and Sara dropping by on Sunday to show us how well Owen is walking now! It's especially endearing because after about 3 or 4 steps, he burst into laughter!! He is happiness in motion!
4. Getting a phone call Saturday night by Tiffany inviting me over to Tristen's house for the purpose of sewing Halloween costumes! Tristen and Tiffany have taken on very elaborate Princess costumes for their daughters! I remember those days! I made it until after midnight!! Are you proud girls? They were going to pull an all nighter!
5. Women's Conference at some random chapel, Dinner at Zupa's, Ice Cream at 31 Flavors and Shopping with Tara, Tristen and Sara--FUN night!! Laughing is my favorite!!
6. Receiving a cute new Halloween decoration made by Tristen!!!
7. Gunnar sharing with me that he finished reading the entire Book of Mormon!
8. Receiving an excited phone call from Telisa telling me that Bodie can say: Grandpa, Jesus and Ball!
9. Sabrina's volleyball game! She's quite the blocker!
10. Unexpected sleepover Saturday night with Sabrina and Whitley. Grandpa brought them here after the BYU game!
11. Listening to Mylee break out in song and dance! So cute!!!
12. General Conference Weekend! talks by Elder Bednar, President Uchdorf, President Holland and President Monson!!!!!!! There was more that I loved, but those hit home!!!
13. Watching Dennis spend time with his sons! After Priesthood Session they came back here, barbecued some steaks, corn on the cob, watched Football and Movies!

Thankful Sabbath!
Today in church the Primary gave the Sacrament Meeting. I bawled through the whole thing! Not only because I was moved by the songs and the darling children who sang them, but also, I was reminded of the many years I sat in the congregation watching my own children sing and say their parts at the microphone! I have been wanting to do a post a week on what I am thankful for, so I decided to start today!!! Here is what I am thankful for this week:
The announcement that came in the mail from Bodie that he is going to be a Big Brother sometime in April!
Redd survived his horrible fall from the stairs and his eight staples are now removed!!
I got to watch my Grandson Gunnar play football with my Granddaughter Sabrina!! I needed her there to explain the game to me! (Proud grandma alert!!) Gunnar is one awesome athlete!
Taking a ride in Travis and Kim's beautiful new family van-"Gladys"!
My YW lesson is over for this week!!
Den and I finally made it to the temple Thursday late afternoon!
My clothes smell so clean now!!! (New washer and dryer!) I love love the smell of clean clothes!!
Fall is coming which means less yardwork!!
Spent an unexpected couple of hours with Travis yesterday before the BYU game! (long story!)
Was able to see and spend time with most of my family members this week.
I only made my bed once this entire week!
Tiffany's post in Joan's Girls reminding me why I love my dad. Thanks Tiff!
The sweet letters that Den and I , as well as my dad have received for the past three weeks, from all the Peters' girls!
Treavor chose to attend his Saturday Session of Stake Conference over the BYU game!! Wow Treav!

Oquirrh Mountain Temple Dedication
Kim's prayer was answered when she was called to be a member of the Oquirrh Mountain Temple Dedication Choir! They performed at the final session in the Celestial Room for the first Presidency, as well as, all those who were in attendance by satelite. Dennis and I accompanied Sabrina, Whitley and Bailey to their Stake Center where the girls excitedly and emotionally watched their talented mom. The plan was after the meeting and a yummy dinner made by all the Peters, we were going to take family pictures, as well as, Morgan's birthday photos. Kim particularly wanted some shots of the family at the Temple. Everything was going as planned except for the rain storms that showed up and quite literally put a damper on things. I got a few shots of Morgan before it started to pour. About an hour later, we drove to the temple and had about a 15 minute window between the dark clouds and rain showers! So, this is session one. Look for session two photos next week, if the weather cooperates!
Jovie Hazel!
Jovie just wanted the prize at the end of the shoot! (a popsicle!) But she is so photogenic!! I love it!
Sansom Sisters!!

Beus girls and boys!!!
Tiffany was able to convince her kids to pose for yet another set of photos taken by their grandma kat! Kourtney and Rylee needed their birthday photos taken. I think the girls enjoy the attention and are super awesome models, the boys would rather castrate a cow!? Beautiful kids never the less!! It's fun for me to see their growth from year to year! I'm stunned!

Bodie and family!
Clay, Telisa and Bodie came to visit their collective families for a few weeks. Connie, Clay's mom desperately wanted a family picture since this was the first time in about 10 years her entire family was all here in Utah at the same time. We did our best. The day of the shoot, Bodie was throwing up and running a fever and Pyper was not in the mood for a photo shoot!? A week later, we redid a few of the individual family shots with more success! The best ones I am saving for our Christmas card, but here are a few other fun shots!
