I am feeling really grateful today,and thought I needed to say it. Although I am extemely sad about losing Pres. Hinckley, I am so glad that I had so many opportunities to see him and hear a true prophet of God speak. That is what I always looked forward to in conference, and any other time he was on tv or at womens conference. I also remember when he was coming to Salem for our stake priesthood meeting. The stake center is right behind my house. There were people lining the sidewalk waiting for him. My family just stood on our back porch waiting. When he finally came, I couldnt help not crying knowing that a prophet of God was that close to my house, and in the church I go to every Sunday. I loved him, just like I am sure so many others did. I pray my kids will always remember him, and his sense of humor, but especially his testimony and love of Jesus Christ. I am so happy for him and Sister Hinckley, that they are finally together again.
I know the church will be in good hands with Pres. Monson and the rest of the leaders, but I will always miss President Hinckley!

basketball

Last night we went to TJ's church basketball game. They did really well! I was watching the coach of our team with the boys,and I thought how weird, the boys are really old enough for him to be prepping them for hs ball possibly college. My boy is finally old enough(not that I have wanted them to grow-up fast)that I can see what he will probably be like as a high school kid and even an adult! How did this happen? After the game, the coach, who has adult children who most of them were really into basketball, came up to us and told Titus all potential TJ has. I just cant believe he past the funny games where all the kids are in one big group trying to get the ball. No one is under the basket. They are all in eachothers faces, screaming at eachother to pass them the ball. Those games are funny. Now TJ's games can be intense @ church and @ league.
Tanner's are still sometimes like the funny ones. Especially when he tries to block like he would in football. He is intense and aggressive. I love to watch them!
I certainly am feeling old though. It use to be me on the court, now it is my kids. I have forgotten all the rules anyway. I still love to play softball. I just try to do things I did in my teenage body. It doesnt feel as good now.
Gotta rush to kindergarten

first blog

Hey everyone! I am doing this on my own computer, and I even have an email account! It took me five tries to get on my email, then it took me even more tries to get on here. I couldnt remember everything. Not that there is that much to remember,but I am very new at this. I am not sure yet how I feet about having the internet. As soon as we got it we had probs. I would lie awake at night worried about all the things available to us. I worry about what we have brought into our home. I hope we have good enough blocks or filters (whatever).
I will try not to think about it too much. So, what about the Bills fam? We are all great! Titus is working for himself(electrical). It slow right now. We are hoping it picks up soon.
I do the same thing almost everyday. Kids,cleaning, workout, hangout with my sisters, and I love to read! I dont know how moms do it all when they have to leave home to work, and do everything else.
T.J. is doing great in school, and is playing basketball. They also hunt as much as they can. It is so weird to have a kid in Jr High. It has been fun though. He has an interesting sense of humor.
Tanner is our clown. He thinks it is his job to make everyone laugh. So much so he has forgotten that if he doesn't do as well as he usually does there will be no hunting. He still does really well. He also is playing basketball. He just passed his hunters safety tests. Now he can hunt birds.
I dont like the idea of my 9 year old carrying a gun. Well, I dont like the idea of my 12 yr old and 35 yr old carrying one either!
Saebra is our spoiled princess. She is so girly girly. I love it, but I hate it too. I should have known when she was 2 and crying about how she wanted her hair done and what she wanted to wear that I was going to be in trouble. She is now learning to read, and she takes gymnastics. She is alot of fun.
Well, I have nothing else to say for now. I might put some pics on someday.(when Abbie will do it for me)
