Our Mansfield Thiot’s
The flu has been making it’s way across town and Ricky was the lucky winner of the feeling crummy award this week. He was sent home from work on Tuesday with instructions to not come back until he was feeling good again. He snoozed most of the day and was feeling quite a bit better the next day. I was the lucky winner to get to watch the girls on Tuesday when Becky got her hair cut. I didn’t know Ricky was home sick, until I got there. We made him stay away from us girls and stay in his room. I’m so glad he’s doing better. Funny story. I was rocking Addison and feeding her a bottle and Brooklyn decided that she would like to rock a bye with us. So, no problem, I picked her up and added her to my lap. Now the funny part was, Brooklyn did not come alone. She had her stuffed cat Larry with her and her little penguin. Now that’s not to much for a Grammy to hold, is it? Now for the crazy part. In comes my Grandpup Rocky, he jumps up on my now almost filled up lap and wants to rock with us too. Just then, Brooklyn and I got the giggles and we couldn’t stop laughing. I don’t know how Ricky slept through it but he did. I love Grandkids. As soon as Becky got home, Brooklyn turns to me and says, “Grammy you can go home now, Mommy’s home.” I was a good fill in for mom but there is nothing as great as the real thing
Our Cobre Valle GrangesTatia had a fun day off this week when the children she nanny’s for had their Grandma come to town. Their daddy has gone bear and elk hunting in Colorado and so his mom came to help their mom. Tatia got to stay home on Wednesday and since neither of us felt like cleaning we voted that the other c word would be more fun. CRAFTING! My sister had sent the instructions for Pumpkins made with a roll of toilet paper. Check out Tatia’s blog for a fun photo and you can look on Clines Corner for the step by step instructions. So very fun, fast and cute. Thanks Tatia for coming for the fun time we had. Next weekend is the “White Coat Ceremony” at South Western Medical School. Jakes parents are flying to Dallas on Thursday night and will get to stay until Tuesday. We are all looking forward to seeing them. Tatia has had fun getting their room ready for them. What fun to have company come to town.
Our Carmichael Thiot’sWhen I turned on my computer this morning, there was an e-mail from Charlie. Charlie Thiot knows how to put a smile on his mom’s face. There was the cutest video of Miss Keelie with her doll cradle that we gave her for her one year old birthday. She is rocking her baby. I’m going to post the link and hope you can see it too.

Thanks Charlie and Mackenzie for being such cute parents to my sweet little Keelie. She’s going to grow up to be a wonderful parent just like the two of you are being to her.
Our Orem Thiot’sPierce and Stacy have been counting down to October 16th for months. Why you may ask, well it’s the opening day of Where the Wild Things Are. Pierce loved that story has a little boy and now the movie is out and he loved that too. He did give a warning. It’s not a movie for little ones. Please be at least 8 to go see it. I can hardly wait to see it too. I found my copy of the book on the bookshelf and have enjoyed reading it. Pierce got some good news this week. He applied to get into the Advertizing Program at BYU and was accepted. He starts in January! Way to go PIERCE!!!!
Our New York Elder ThiotWhat a great week this has been! Brooklyn is still the greatest place on earth, and I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else! The people here are so awesome, and the weather hasn’t been to bad either! Today is the coldest day so far and its only 55 degrees, not to bad.
We Plano Thiot’sThis week marks the 25th Anniversary of the Dallas Temple. On April 1, 1981, the announced that a temple would be built in Dallas Texas. Dick and I moved to Dallas in May and were blessed to watch the building of the Dallas Temple. It took several years. We enjoyed driving to the temple site and watching it grow. We loved the summer Mike and Laurie and their 3 little kids came and stayed with us while Mike worked on the temple. It was a great blessing to our family to see the temple built and to get to attend it. Each of our 5 kids have been blessed to attend the Dallas Temple first to do baptisms and then to receive their own temple blessings. For the past four years, I’ve spent each Friday afternoon serving in the temple. I love the temple and tonight Dick and I were invited to the 25th Anniversary Fireside. It was a spiritual feast to be there with so many temple workers and past temple presidents. My heart was so happy being there tonight. I have been blessed to attend many different temples in my life, but I have to say, ours is my very favorite. Maybe because we watched it being built, maybe because we got to contribute to the building fund, maybe because so many people who work there I love, I’m not sure, but I do love it. I’m so glad we could go tonight. Thank you Dick for arranging to go with me. I love you!
