Something New at the Farnsworth's

On Tuesday Brad went out to feed and clean up the dogs, and all of a sudden he came in with 2 puppies. We knew that Ellie was pregnant, but didn't realize that she was about to deliver, she wasn't very big, and now we know why, with only having 2 puppies. She usually has 8-10. We really didn't want her to have any this year. So if anyone wants a golden lab here you go. Good Christmas gift! They will be ready to go around the end of October. They are both boys. Along with trying to keep Ellie and the puppies comfortable, I have been canning chili sauce. and making a rag quilt for my grandson for his birthday. I did take some pictures of the puppies with Mik, Kinzie and Halli. Ellie was not to happy with the idea. When Brad and I went to take another picture of just the puppies, Ellie came up to me and licked my face and then started to pick up the puppies with her mouth and take them back to her kennel, so I guess she doesn't want us to mess with her kids. Well not to much going on here, we will have to see what happens next week. Have a great Labor Day Weekend!

Whao Hoo!!

Well, the day has finally come! Yes, you guessed it! My cast is off, I got it off yesterday, no more purple cast that I have to drag around with me. It does feel good to have off, but it hurts to walk on it for very long. This too will pass and I will be walking my 4 miles soon!

Summer is coming to an end. School started yesterday, Brad is now a junior in high school. Here is a picture of him in front of his truck. Mik (Lisa's son) started school yesterday also. He had to call me in the morning to say "I am going to the first grade, Mema" I asked him if he was excited? and he yelled into the phone YES! He was excited to take his lunch, he didn't want to buy his lunch and is trying to talk his mom into buying him a lunch box. He cracks me up. I have been enjoying being at home. I am trying to get things done that I have put on hold. I have been released from the young womens in the ward, I was not in there for very long, only about 7 months, I was really enjoying it, but I guess they wanted to change the whole YW. I am now the Relief Society's communication specialist, and the ward new member contact. When new people move into our ward boundries I am the one to welcome them. I am trying to put a packet together to give them, so if any one has any ideas to give me let me know. Well all is well here. Oh I was going to show you a picture of Scott and Brad on the 50 mile hike they had gone on. This picture is them on the top of Kings Peak! And then a few other picutres that were breath taking. Enjoy! Take care and have a great week.

In a Jam!


Well it has been a week since I started this blog. Scott and Brad got back from their 50 mile hike with the scouts in our ward. They went up to Kings peak, the tallest peak in Utah. They had a great time. Scott and Brad bore their testimony in Church on Sunday and had me balling like a baby. I was so glad thattheyhadthistimetogether.
I was released from my calling as Laurel Advisor, I was sad I had only had this calling for about 5 months. Now I am the Communication Specialist in Relief Society (whatever that is) and I am also the ward New Member/New Neighbor move in. So on with the show. Here I come with goodies in hand.
We have been looking at a new freezer the past couple of days, hopefully this weekend we will get one.
Lisa and Amy came over on Tuesday to do strawberry jam with me.
We bought way to many strawberries, I mean way to many. We ended up doing over 100 half pints of jam. They came here at about 10 am and they left about 5 pm. The kids were so good, they helped with Amy's baby Preston, entertaining him. Then they wanted to help with the stirring until Kinzie touched the hot pan with her arm while stirring.
And down she came crying and not letting us put any cold water on it. She did not want to have anything to do with it or us after that.
So Life goes on at the Farnsworth's hope all is well with all of you and please feel free to call or to e-mail us. P.S. Remeber that I am new to this so no wise cracks. The picture thing drives me crazy in how to put them in!
