What is that bad Smell.
On Monday July sixth me and my niece Were heading to Payson. We thought we could smell something in the car,but we checked under the seats I even smelled Garrett shoes to see if it was it could not find anything. So we got on the freeway as we got to Payson there was this smell that was horrible we were both gagging. We were trying not to throw up. We had to drive that car back to Santaquin we did not know how we could drive with that smell. So my niece got out her Victoria Secret lotion and squirted some in our hands so we could set and smell it on the way home. I pulled in the drive way and the front of my suburban was covered in flies. Gary came out to check he opened the hood and the smell was so overwhelming he was trying not to puck.
Well he found the problem the four kittens that we were getting ready to give away were dead in the fan. They were on the porch Sat. night when we got home from the fireworks. My niece spent the night and Gary got up early to run her home so she could get to work. That is when he figured he had got them. Bryce was so sad. He had been praying we could find his kittens. I said your prayer was answered we found them. He got mad and said that is not what I wanted.

Fourth of July Weekend
We had a busy weekend. Friday was my dad's birthday. We got together as a family to celebrate. We had a BBQ and then we did fireworks. We had a lot of fun. Tanner was not feeling to good he had got really sunburned that day I think he was a little dehydrated. He was eating an Ice Cream sandwich and set it on a chair. It was dark and I could not see so I sat on a chair next to Gary well I said I think I just set on something wet. It got a little cold so i reached back and to my surprise I had set on that Ice Cream sandwich. The kids had fun playing with cousins.
On Saturday we went and visited my grandma Clark for awhile the kids played with Lego's and these little wooden doll things that stack into each other that a friend gave her from Russia. The grand kids love them. She let's them play with them. We had a great visit. The kids were excited to get there pickle fix. Nobody can make a pickle like her. My mom and aunts have tried but they can not get them to taste like hers. My kids call her the pickle grandma.
After we left her house we stopped at Macy's to get an Ice cream cone. Taylor told Gary Macy's has the biggest cones. He was not a kidding. Gary ordered him, Taylor, Garrett, Tanner a Cong Cone. It was a 20oz. cup overflowed with Ice cream and a cone on top. They were big. Bryce and Lindsey had a small one.
We then headed to Gary's parents where we had a BBQ and then we headed to the fireworks below the temple. The kids played catch and ran around. Emily, Lindsey and I taught Valerie how to play down by the banks. Gary joined in. Then Emily and I gave everyone a great laugh and tried to get everyone to play ride that pony. I nearly wet myself from laughter good thing it was kind of dark and nobody seen me make a fool of myself, but it was fun.
We had a good weekend. Gary's brother Rick is moving back to Utah we are excited we used to have so much fun with them. We have some very great memories with them. It will be fun to get together with them more.

Scott
It has been almost a month sense Scott has left. We sure miss him. He is always whistling or humming around the house. He always would give me and Gary a hug and a kiss on the check before he went to bed. He is thoughtful caring person we sure miss not having him home. He added a lot of joy into our home. I feel bad that he is giving up on some of his dreams and goals.
Holy Ghost
Today I was talking on the phone to Stefany while i was washing dishes and I was listening to Bryce sing in his bedroom Heavenly Father are you really there do you hear and answer every child's prayer over and over. All of a sudden he runs out of his room just as happy can be and says I was just visited by the Holy Ghost. I said"what" he said the air conditioner was going and he felt so warm inside but he didn't have a blanket on he just felt warm. Stefany said I needed to write this down so instead I am posting it. He said the Holy Ghost came for just a sec. I got off the phone we talked about the Holy Ghost He was just so happy. Kids are great.

Prayer
My kids sure have learned a lot about prayers in the last few years. Bryce has been praying for Sister Barker in our ward she hurt her back really bad and couldn't walk. She plays the piano in primary. She has done that calling for at least 15 years. When we are praying and someone forgets to mention her name in prayer he gives you a little lecture on how we can help her by praying for her and if we don't pray for her we are not helping her. She came to Sacrament on Easter Sunday Bryce was so excited to see her there. He said see prayer works.
Tanner has also learned a lot about prayer. In Dec. Sister Neff was visiting with me about her husband Ed. He has struggled with cancer. They had found 2 spots on his lung they were worried if it was in his Colon then they would have to do chemo again. She said "I don't think he can Indore another round of chemo". She was crying I felt so bad these two people are the most neatest people in the ward. I came home and gathered the kids and we talked about Brother Neff Tanner said" he is the strongest man I know I have never seen him sick but I am going to pray so hard for him because I know he can get better". I was a little nervous about this because I was not sure of how the out come would come out.(me lacking in faith). Tanner was always praying for Brother Neff Praying for his Colon. Two weeks later after his colonoscopy Sister Neff sent me a text saying his Colon was all clean there was no cancer. I pulled the kids together to tell them about this. Tanner started to cry he said" Heavenly Father does hear and answers prayers" he said " i want to tell dad that Heavenly Father answered my prayer." He sat on the porch with his coat on and waited for his dad to come home to tell him what has just happened.
My older kids got there testimony of prayer as they prayed for there cousin Curtis. As they watched him recover from his car wreck.
We all need to have Faith as all the children do. Heavenly Father is just waiting for us to knock. Some times we may not get the answer we want but we need to trust in him to help us through the trails of life.
I guess I needed to write this for myself as a reminder of the importance of prayer. I know there are lost of days I feel like I am just a burden to him with all my problems. But I know he is there if we just let him in.

Personal Space
Bryce has decided that he is to big for hugs and kisses. So he told us he would give us high five instead. He just informed me today that he is only going to give us high five once a day. Where does this come from. He is just growing up way to fast. Every now and then he will come crawl up on our laps we cherish that moments. He must be like his dad personal space. My nephew Curtis came by to see us the other day and he gave Curtis a great big hug.
