MY GOOD NEWS!!!

Wednesday, January 28, 2009




I am so thankful that I had a good Dad! Leo Samuel Larson. I miss him terribly. He passed away at age 58 just over 10 years ago. Not a day goes by that I don't think of him or appreciate the things he taught me. He was a great man who was loved by all. He lived by his word. We have a video of him bearing his testimony right after he was released as Bishop in Page, Az. I will cherish this forever! I am so glad that we have it to show my children. McKenzie and Bryce are the only ones that remember him. When he passed away he was serving as Stake President of the Page Arizona Stake, he was the State Farm Agent in Page, and he was loved and admired by so many people. But he was just "Dad" to his seven children, wonderful husband to my mom and fantastic grandpa to I believe only 4 grandchildren were born at the time. Now he has 25! I have just been thinking alot about him lately and I wanted to include him in our Good News Family Blog!

Today is a day Carson has been looking forward to for a few days. We finally got chickens. Mark, Bryce and Carson made the chicken coop over the weekend. They are very proud of it. We were able to get four nice healthy hens from a lady in LaVerkin. I think I might just love having these little chickens because they are babysitting my chickens! We even got our first egg tonight. Carson has carried the egg around all night. Mark said "Do you think it will hatch?" Carson said "I am just so proud of this egg..." Hopefully we will have more and the novelty will wear off. I don't want Carson carrying around all of them! We plan on getting more chickens from an old farmer in our ward by the end of the week. We hope to get a duck real soon as well. During our good news minute last night Carson said, "I like how mom says let's get some chickens and then we just get em! When mom has an idea she does it!" That was a great compliment from Carson even if it was about chickens! Welcome to our little farm life! :>













































Well I have not been very good about posting all our good news or anyone else's for that matter. So sorry! We had a great Christmas and good New Year! Back at Thanksgiving time we were with my family and we took some fun pictures (I am a little behind) so I decided to get some of them posted now. We were also able to be up north after Christmas for Mark's dad's funeral...Heinz. He passed away on Christmas Eve due to complications of Parkinson's Disease. I have posted some pictures of Mark and his siblings, Randy and Dianna and his step mom, Pat. Enjoy.
