St. Patty's Day Fun

My mom made St. Patrick's day special this year! Earlier today we went over to my parent's home for dinner, (Like we do every Sunday). Following dinner, my mom sent the grand kids on a picture treasure hunt. At the end of "The rainbow," the kids found a pot of gold (AKA chocolate gold coins). Then my mom had the kids decorate sugar cookies and color pictures. My kids had a great time. Thanks Mom!

Angels Among Us

"When we speak of those who are instruments in the hand of God, we are reminded that not all angels are from the other side of the veil. Some of them we walk with and talk with - here, now, every day."
-Elder Jeffrey R. Holland

I went to our ward Relief Society Birthday Party last night. The theme for the party was "Angels Among Us." Each of the women in our ward shared instances where other women have touched their lives. At the closing of the meeting, we listened to the song Angels Among Us by Alabama. -Oh my goodness. Lots of tears. It was a very spiritual meeting.

A Little Bit Of Excitement In Our Neighborhood

We had a little bit of excitement in our neighborhood earlier today. We heard fire sirens, so we looked out our front window. Here's what we saw!

A home a block and a half away from us was on fire! Apparently a trailer on the side of the home caught fire. A propane tank exploded and spread the fire to the garage and to the neighbors yard next door.

There were several firetrucks and policemen.

I walked over just as they turned on the fire hose.

An elderly couple owns the home. I heard from other people around me that a neighbor got them out of the house. Everyone's okay. No one was injured. Pretty scary though.
