Easter Sunday

Davis Funny

I have to write this down...so I can remember it later on.

We (my little companion, Davis, and I) were outside in the yard.  I was working of course and he was puttering around with his cars, shovels and the dirt.  It was a sunny day with several clouds in the sky.  When one of the clouds moved in front of the sun Davis exclaimed, "Hey, who turned off the lights!"

heehee

My Family In New Mexico

This was sunday at grandpa's viewing...
it was so very windy.
And I thought Oklahoma was bad!!

Taming the Wilderness

The majority of my work this week involved yard work!!

I am trying to get some grass to grow in this wilderness and it is an ominous task to say the least

Before we left for New Mexico the first part of April
I planted this portion in grass seed.
When we came home it was just popping up.
Unfortunately a rain storm came and washed some of the seed away
I have replanted that area and hope that the seed will take.
It will be pretty when I get it all covered with grass!!

My hostas are coming up!
I need to get some pesticide on them so the bugs don't eat them up like they did last year...
any suggestion of what to do?

Here is my hydrangea that I thought I had killed!!

I hope it blooms this year!

Any suggestions with this one?

Lavor is also working on the sprinkling system.  There are several brakes in the line and some heads are broken...always something to fix!! 

My Father In Law



This is a hard blog to write...
Edsel Farrel Haynie
passed away March 29, 2011 at the age of 85.
He left this world peacefully with a life well lived.

Dad Haynie is the first of my parents to leave this world.
This occurance brought me to reflect
on the true meaning of life
and the greatfulness of Gospel and it's teaching of
Eternal life.

I  am thankful for a Savior who also suffered death
that all of us will live again.
He promises us that if we live as He taught us
we will one day live with Him
and the beloved family members that have passed before us.

What a beautiful plan.

I am grateful to be a member of
The Haynie Family
and I love my father-in-law
and appreciate the life that he lived.
And look forward to the day we will be reunited.





His son's in law, Mark and Dave
and Grandsons: Brian, Thomas, Luke, Jarom, Sam and Alan were his pall bearers.
(the burial was a different day of the funeral and the guys weren't informed they would be pall bearers at the grave site and that is why they aren't in suits)



Dad was buried in the National Cementary in Santa Fe, New Mexico
He loved his family
He loved his country
and he loved his Savior.

Lea, my mother in law
So graceful in her love for her husband.
It was very touching to see how
she handled herself during this time.
A very tender but strong woman.
I love her.
