Saturday January 30 2010! Today was a good day - - we went to the church and cleaned, it is always nice to see the chapel looking like we care! THen I babysat for a young couple for a couple of hours, went to the commissary - spent money! Then I got to stay home --- that was great! Not too many of those kind of Saturdays at the Mangum Pad, but sure enjoy it when it happens. Life is good and I would post pictures, Aaron, but I can't get them to work. This computer and I are not too good of friends. Hope you all have a happy day - it is cold, but not too cold.

It is already January 23, 2010 - where is time going? I am already trying to figure out what I have to do to close the house, there is so much to think about! Time is flying and getting short, I am scared! I sent four sons out on missions, but I am apprehensive to go myself --- how can that be --- there is something wrong with this picture! "There is nothing to fear but fear itself!" who said that - Ben Franklin? I don't remember! All will be well! Faith - faith of a mustard seed!

Happy New Year to each of you and may 2010 be as good if not better than 2009. Many happenings of late! New homes, new babies, sick babies, graduations, building homes, and plans for a mission! We love each of you, we respect the adults you have become, and we are proud of all of you! Let the fun began, but lets all remember from whence cometh our help! He will never fail us and He will always be as far away as a prayer! Love you all, Mom

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAVID!!!!

After almost 40 years of marriage to this man I am still learning who he is, he amazes me! He has more energy than the "Energizer Bunny", he is a strong spiritual giant, he loves the Lord and serves Him faithfully whatever the call, and he is mine! Life is good! Our children are all strong, solid individuals who also love the Lord and they have wonderful spouses to help them along, they also have wonderful grandchildren for us to play with! We are simple people, we don't have much in the way of worldly riches, but we are rich in what counts most -- love, faithfulness, honesty, and love of fellow man.

Eternal Marriage to this man is a gift from God and I am so grateful. Once again, Happy Birthday to my Sweetheart, and many, Many, MANY MORE!

What Happened!?!

No pictures, I'll try again next time.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUE-SUE, Sunbeam, Laurisa, etc, etc.

Thirty-six years ago today at 12:00 noon our beautiful daughter left the presence of her Heavenly Father and entered into our lives. The best, most wonderful, most beautiful little girl ever born. She has given us great joy and happiness every day of her life and we love her. We just can't believe that she is so old when we are still so young! Thank you, Laurie, for choosing to come to our family and make us complete. Our first born, after several years of no children, then we had five, what's up with that!!! We love them all!

Happy Birthday Dallin

To our oldest Grandson, HAPPY NINTH BIRTHDAY! How we wish we could have been there to share in your celebration, however, you were in our thoughts and in our hearts. Nine Years Old, it is so hard to believe that you are growing so fast. Nana and Papa sure love you and hope that your day was one that you will always remember as being the best, until next year!
