Popsicles!

Yesterday we had Maggie’s first boo boo. She fell as she was walking and her hands didn’t stop her well enough so she hit her chin and her mouth started to bleed a little. (The first of many more to come I am sure). We helped rinse it out and she was upset so we got her a Popsicle for the first time and that helped stop the bleeding as well as took her mind off of the problem.
Guess for the next while we better keep a supply handy. (Of course I don’t think she will be as bad as Cody was…at least I hope not!)

Cake and Ice cream

Tonight the Bradford clan got together to celebrate a nephews birthday. (Jo and Josh did not make it but I am sure Jo is just sick of being pregnant etc). It was the usual happening...5 different conversations going on at the same time, presents, and Ma's Homemade cake and ice cream. My mom does great things with cakes. Growing up we loved the cakes she would make and decorate. Tonight as usual we had two flavors...different from the last time we got together.
Boo really loves cake and goes nuts for ice cream.
Great memories to be grateful for.

Not what I picture...

Last night and this morning I spent time fixing the video link for Sundays conference. This morning as I was watching myself I was amazed at how different I look than what I have in my minds eye. Natalie has said that I pull some weird faces as I talk and I saw it today. Don’t know what I am going to do about it but at least now I know…guess that is something to be grateful for.

Still here.

I haven't posted for awhile since life has been busy. I am grateful for that! Last post was about having helpful people as I installed the Internet and wireless set up in 3 Church houses, well I found out right after that, that we are holding a special meeting through video hook up in those 3 Church's. So this past week has been spent in figuring out where to get the equipment and how it works,(once we got it there were no instructions in it, so trial and error and dumb luck we figured it out). Tonight they want to see a test run so I am taping cable and running electric cords like crazy.
I am grateful for the talent of trouble shooting and being able to figure things out fast. Of course this came for years of goofing stuff up and having to fix it quickly.

Helpful workers

I took yesterday morning off with the full intention of getting the wireless Internet setup at the 3 chapels then going into work. Well I did not get done with Comcast until 5. The morning was spent on the phone trouble shooting, the afternoon I waited for a tech but once he came we went to all 3 buildings and made sure the comcast portion was all working. I then went back after supper and got the west building setup as well as the Stake House. This afternoon I will finish the final building.
I am grateful for the help from the tech who did not have to go to all 3 buildings with me as well as the Church's tech group in getting the firewalls working. (they even called me this morning to see when I wanted to do the last building)
Now comes the fun in trying to boast the wireless signal so it can be used ...

Wicked and Hanna Montana

This weekend was one of the arts!. On Friday I was able to go with all the Seabury girls to see Hanna Montana movie. (Nat, her sisters Wendy, Heidi, nephew Carter, Sis in law Cami, nieces Carlee, Alison and Chloe) I have to admit that I enjoyed the show and even got a little tear in my eye a few times when there were special daddy daugther moments with the stars.
Yesterday Natalie and I (as well as Wendy and Nat's dad) went to "Wicked" What a show!!!!!
We used to have season tickets for quite a few years to Broadway in Utah but have not had them the last couple of years. Were sat on row D which is close to our old front row seats and they were great.
(I miss going to the plays)
So this past weekend was one to be grateful for not just Easter and all that it means but family time and the arts.
I am glad the girls let me tag along for the movie, (I would have looked creepy sitting by myself) and I am glad that Nat was able to get tickets for Wicked and share that with her.

Ma

Well the lights are still up…(yes I am lazy). Today I worked from home for part of the morning, then went to the gym with Natalie. During the week my mom watches Boo 2-3 days a week while Nat goes to the gym. Boo loves going to Ma’s she always has treats, toys books etc. I am so grateful that my mom loves to spend time with Boo. It not only helps so Nat can get to the gym but lets Boo get closer to her grandmother
