Two Blessings in One Week

Ava Elmer was born October 23rd at 9:20 am. She is 6# 9 oz, 19 inches long. She looks just like Lindsay did as a baby! Beautiful! Lindsay had a C-section and will be in the hospital for 3 days. She says she wasn't completely numb when they did the surgery! But she is feeling good and getting around. She will have 3 children ages 3 and under!!

Presley David Krok

Born October 21, 2009 at 8pm in Sydney Australia. 7 pounds 9 ounces, 20 inches long, brown hair and eyes. Beautiful and healthy!

Grandma to #7

Kim gave birth to a baby boy 10/21 8pm Australia time. No name yet. The baby was 2 hours old when she called and they still hadn't weighed or measured him!! But all are doing well.

Its amazing to think that less than 1 year ago she was in ICU clinging to life with a terrible head injury! 14 months ago she was in ICU after hemorrhaging with Thurston's delivery! Its been a wild year and we are hoping for a wonderful, uneventful year ahead :)

Congrats to Ethan and Thurston on the newest member of the Krok family!

Empty Nester for Real!

Donny and Lindsay have been living with us for the last 5 months. Today they moved out into their own place. David loaded the moving van all by himself while Donnie was at work. I am going to miss coming home to Ethan and Tristan's hugs and kisses. They love to play with Grandma :) I'll miss Lindsay keeping my kitchen spotless! I'm glad they are only moving a couple miles away so that we can visit often. They are the only grandchildren I can visit on the spur of the moment and they can just drop by because its on the way. One of my great joys in life :)

General Conference Weekend

Its been an amazing general conference as each talk has had an application in my life. I realize I have so much to improve in my life and have been given the confidence to move forward in faith.

A conference weekend tradition is to go through my 72 hour kits and replenish the food. This was a sad act for me as I did it alone and cleaned out Kiersten's pack. But my grandkids enjoyed all the extra snacks!

Food is always important on conference weekend. David made his famous tacos! Yum! And for our treat I made a strawberry pie out of freeze dried strawberries. I wanted to make something out of my food storage and it turned out Yum-o as well!
