I am a beginner blogger!!

Hi there everybody,

I just put some pics up of our new addition, Bruce.
He is a golden retriever, he was born March 21, 2008.
I brought him home May 6,2008. He is 7 weeks old today!
I just couldn't get over Murphy. He was the best dog in the world.
We still love Roy, but when these puppies were born I had a hard time passing up another Murphy! Welcome to our home Bruce!
Also, I put a pic of some deer right in the pasture next door. They are kind of hard to see, but it was just fun watching them enjoy the good eats!!

How is everybody doing with the quilts???

Our New Addition

IRONIC

Hi there Olsen's and those related!
These past 2 weeks have been an eye opener for me. My very good friend's daughter was just diagnosed with bone marrow leukemia. This has been devastating news for the family and all those who know them. It came on suddenly and has taken a big toll on Jessica. She is 16, and has down syndrome. She is the most beautiful young lady. She brightens up any room she walks into. Her presence is so pure and sweet. She is in my seminary class. She is always prepared when it is her turn to do devotional. She leads the music with enthusiasm and reads her scriptures daily. Her prayers are like none other I have every heard. She remembers everyone and prays for them individually. She brings a piece of heaven with her wherever she goes. I was lucky enough to be able to watch her little brother Joshua 4, and two sisters Laila 10, and Juliana 8 for 4 days. These were incredible days. I wanted to start over with another family. It was so much fun. They taught me so much. They were happy,lovable, and so fun to be with. They were grateful for every meal. They always said thank you Dixie.
This will be 4 days I will never forget! Thank you Mitchell Family for filling my life happiness!
I think this is very ironic that we are making quilts4cancer. I feel very happy everyone is excited and ready to take on this project!!
