My Spiderman!

Hyrum is into lots of things, Shrek, Toy Story, Little Einstiens, Dora.... on and on. But the one thing he wanted to be for Halloween was Spiderman. Now he has never watched the spiderman movies or cartoons, but we bought some Spiderman Fruit Roll-ups ... Which are his Favorite... And he has a hand-me-down shirt and some cute pajamas with spiderman on it. Its just funny. I wanted him to be a cowboy, Like Woody on Toy Story...but when i asked him he kept saying Spiderman. Tonight was the first time I let him put on the costume. We went to my Brothers ward's Trunk or Treat. He had a super fun time. He ran around being superhero's with all his Cousins!!!

We have a Spiderman, Batman(crew), Superman(brigham), Superwomen(brooklyn), and a Power Ranger(cade)!!!! GO TEAM!! And yes! Every one of these superhero's are munching on thier recently aquired Stash of candy. I really do love Halloween !!!

Priorities

It's an interesting time in life, when a person in your life passes away. You gain so much Perspective on life. Where you are at. Where your going. How would you have left those you love behind. Where are your Priorities now. AND i have come to the conclusion that i am not were i want to be. My Priorities are some what backward. And my current train of thoughts have been derailed. I haven't posted in a while because every thing just seems so trivial ... In comparison to my last few posts. I know that life should go on after someone you loved has died....but should it go on in the same fashion, just as before? Or is this a time to reflect and do some prioritizing, goal setting, and should or can this be a accelerate for change!?

With conference feeling so long ago, but i remember some talks that were just for me, and i was wondering when the person speaking was actually going to call out my name in chastisement, or in pleading :) i was ready to change. Then my good friend being killed, brought reality back. This life is SO Precious. This life is our time to SHINE! This is were we need to learn and work and grow! So what do i do now.....? how do i start.....? One thing at a time. "And through small and simple things,... will grow that which is GREAT!"(D&C, it was in the Relief Society Message this month). Thank you to all i know and love. You are so Dear to me. Thank you for loving me and being a friend despite.... me :) .

Tim's Funeral Service

Will be October 13th at 11 A.M. at the Mesa South Stake Center (1415 E. Southern Ave. -- Southern/Gilbert).
There will be a time from 8 - 10 A.M. for friends to meet and share memories about Tim. I am sure we all have many. High school is full of them -- with YM/YW activities, Choir, trips, Student Council, etc... -- and then there is the eight years since we graduated.... He could bring smiles to many people's faces. I have heard a few people comment that he was just too good for this world. Tim truly was a great guy, and I am sure he is already busy upstairs with more work and getting people to smile on the other side. (words from email of Kim (jones) Merrill).

Precious Life

I just received word about a dear friend from High School who was killed in a head-on collision this morning. For those of you who knew Tim Filichia, you know how much of a genuine, Christlike example he was to us all. Susie Hall put it this way: "It just goes to show that he really was too good for this world." And since he was single, another friend said, "The girls up there are going to be really happy to see him!" The Lord must have some special work for him to do. We're all going to miss him, and our prayers go out to his family. This news really makes the talk from General Conference yesterday on 'living like it was your last day' so much more real. Life is too precious to let words of love get put off until 'tomorrow'; as if we have a say in whether tomorrow will come for us or not.

I'll update when I learn about the funeral date.

Craft Corner...!

So here is one of my crazy craft accomplishements... this was originally a fall garland, that my friend gave me,(which i had not use for) and i took it and bent it into a wreath shape. then added the fall flowers from Michaels and some red glass beads as berries. the Bow was a task in itself... i could decided between polka dots (which are my FaV) and the sparkly sheer. so i went with both. and then added a few more strands for flavor. i was excited when it actually looked good. Yeah projects....

Here is project "Rescue". This awesome chair was in my neighbors garbage can. (right on top...luckly) and they put their can out a day early so i saw it sitting there on top... so when i went out to go get my mail, i casually walked by and examened the chair. Structurely fine, not breaks, just nasty with areas of mold and the finish (originally light pine color) was chipped and splintered...... So late that night, i went and snagged it. Dumpster Diving is a "guilty pleasure"! But i had the chair for a few weeks in my backyard... then sanded it and spray painted it.... AND it is like new. and Awesome!!! Hyrum loves to read books and sit and watch tv in it. Thank you neighbors !

The Red one says "Believe"with a fancy Scrolly "B" the the other says "Give Thanks"

The other night i was able to go to my Sis-in-law Carley's best friends Malissa Homemaking Night. and i told her to "sign me up for everthing"!!! it was holiday crafts and i have none. and two of the projects didnt get finished so you get to see those on a later post. but here is a H for Hyrum, and the glass blocks for Halloween time and Thanksgiving and Christmas. Those were awesome and took like 5 mins. they have Vinyl lettering. that lettering is just awesome and totally perfessional looking! GO CRAFTS!!! and Malissa for signing me up, and for Carley for telling me about it. I had a Blast, met some awesome ladies.
