Rescue of the Lost Lamb

Minerva Teichert 1888-1976

Idaho Falls Temple

We walked up to the endowment rooms and before me on the stairs was the origianl Minerva Teichert, Rescue of the Lost Lamb. It was 10'x10' and just breathtaking.

Maureen and Carol gave me a framed print of this when I took out my own endowment. It hangs by my bed for me to remember to be grateful for being found and also to remember that Paul will too, be found and then we will be sealed for time and all eternity to each other and to our children,

Minerva's original Red Robed Christ hangs in the entrance of the SLC temple. I look forward to giving my parents a framed print for Christmas. It was one of Pres. Hinckley's favorites. To see her paintings and know her story, go to; http://www.familyartusa.com/site/253614/page/238859

Everybody Feel the Love

I was inspired by a photographer Angie Monson, to finally have our family pictures taken. The following song plays on one of her family shoots. Check it out on itunes, Everybodylisten to it and look at my family photos it puts a smile in my heart. as I by Ingrid Michaelson, it will put a smile on your face or at least I hope it does. I could not figure out what the song was, so I emailed the photographer and she emailed me right back. Love this song!!! I have been singing it for three weeks, and now I have a smile in my heart.

I love the panoramic option on my camera. The pic gives you somewhat of an idea of the views from the home side of the field at Brighton. Actually, the views from all the East side schools are Bee Ute A Full!

My cute dad passed on some basketball wisdom to Jackson during our visit to IF this past weekend. He was very sweet with Jackson when we were getting ready to leave. He put his hand on his shoulder and with tears in his eyes told him what a great young man he is and how impressed he is with how hard he works in sports and school and that he is such a nice person.

It takes me back to my younger days when I was the lucky recipient of this good man's love. He definitely is getting more emotional in his older years.

My parents begin their mission at the Idaho Falls Visitor Center in Nov. They took us for a tour so we would know what they will be doing for the next year. We sat by the Falls for a short while after our tour. Why did I not hang out here more when I was a kid. It feels good to be so aware of the beauty all around me. I guess that means I am growed up now.

I enjoyed our visit home to IF for UEA. The kids had fun with their cousins. It was easier to get then together when they were younger. Now the older ones want to hang out with their own friends. Koa was nice enough to hang with Jacks and Lander and Marisa had a great two days of carving a pumpkin and hanging out. Miklyn and Dani still love to be together. It is like me and my cousin Jill all over again.

OOH, OOH, OOH. OOH, OOH, OOH
