Page 1 went well, page 2 went well, page 3... was page 4. Page 3 wasn't there. Slade wanted to read the talk before church and somewhere between me giving it to him and me needing it on the stand, it went missing. I think I did okay at remembering what I wanted to share, and when we got home I found it in the middle of the living room floor.

We have had weeks of one Kiddie or another getting sick and being a little house bound is making us a <strike>little</strike> o.k. a lot grumpy. So I came up with the brain wave of <i><b>....14 DAYS OF LOVE.....</b></i> All the kids are in (some a little more willing than others). But I think it will be fun. I have challenged them to pray to ask to have more LOVE for their siblings. We have also come up with a key word for each person, so that we can say it to remind them of the challenge without nagging. Now I just need to see if Dano will be up for the challenge. If only we could get Libby and Finn in on this. Oh how they love to fight. I will keep you posted on how it works out.....For reals this time.Jodyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04184108398718681701noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3094841946407112320.post-32221173240749168772011-01-28T23:48:00.004-07:002011-01-29T00:02:15.785-07:00A BLOGMASTER by any other name...I (Dano) have now created a second account and made both Jody and I administrators of this blog. While the previous posts say that they were posted by Jody, It should be obvious to even the least experienced blog reader that they are of BLOGMASTER quality. Now that I know how to do this, I just might steal the thunder from David in setting up a Gurney family blog; If I get to it first, I get to choose the name! And I might be stingy and not grant anyone else admin privileges..danohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04996570226118800531noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3094841946407112320.post-38193563444027569062011-01-28T07:44:00.000-07:002011-01-28T07:44:54.152-07:00Role of an ApostleElder Bednar is very clear on what an apostle is and does, and his responses to the questions on screen tell a lot about the church of Jesus Christ.

We didn't get to stay in our pajamas as per usual Christmas Day fashion, and I missed my chance to hold Piper under water to see how long she could hold her breath for, but she has an experience she will never forget! Not many people can say they were baptized on Christmas.<br />

As you have seen from this blog, Jody is very crafty and wants to dedicate a new, as yet unnamed, but shortly to be unveiled, blog to her creations as well as showcase some of the things she makes and sells with her sister as Dizzy Daisy Bead Co (crafty is referring to hand made couture, and not to her cunning and manipulative female wiles, although the purpose of this post is an example of those traits...). </div><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Since Jody has to ask her husband Dano (referred to henceforth as the <span style="color: red;">BLOGMASTER</span>) how to upload a picture </span><i style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">every single time</i><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">, it is hoped that this new change will allow a more picturesque blog to take shape, although I can guarantee that the backgrounds will not be as pretty.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">BLOGMASTER</span> is in red to show mastery and general blogging intimidation.<br />

November is here, and with it brought Dano's facial hair...<strike>Oh yay!</strike> I mean we love it and why not suport a great cause like prostate cancer. I even bought a stache to support the cause.<br />
I was just going to take a pic. and post it of our mustaches and tell you all how I never leave home without it. But alas I have lost it. Someone at some store probably thought it was a dead rat and swept it up....Oh I am soooooo sad:( Oh well one day when I get back to Urban Outfitter some day I will buy a new one. Until then I will look at Danos and try to explain to my friends that even though he looks creepy he is still the same guy and their families are still safe around him....<br />
So support MOvember...Jodyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04184108398718681701noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3094841946407112320.post-77581626686226517602010-05-18T00:40:00.000-06:002010-05-18T00:40:59.093-06:00THE RUN DOWNSO it has been awhile since I have updated my blog and I am so very sorry.

They were in Singapore. Last Oct. Dano and I went to Singapore on our first real vacation in 10yrs. It was amazing! The show brought back some very good memories. We have some awesome friends that are living over there and they were so generous to let us crash at their place and they showed us all the really cool places to go. <br />

We went to the opera house and the pavilion in the park on our Sunday walk after church how cool is that.... It made me miss being there so very much. It is so beautiful and clean and safe. I wish that I could go back. But we will cherish the time we had there. </div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZNVCaBb6ibHXCjfleofmgLBWD2GwpmHt9YKnvkTa6SIAhOykrCM-y9CVcBaQEBbY_H85bwDs1TfSp5cRmfiPa4hfWr4huTwePxZYrvNJpulXDQ93aog1bfi1Is0MUe2zc334qI7a4mAY/s1600/slade's+camera+416.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZNVCaBb6ibHXCjfleofmgLBWD2GwpmHt9YKnvkTa6SIAhOykrCM-y9CVcBaQEBbY_H85bwDs1TfSp5cRmfiPa4hfWr4huTwePxZYrvNJpulXDQ93aog1bfi1Is0MUe2zc334qI7a4mAY/s320/slade's+camera+416.jpg" wt="true" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipu6uxCX8v8FDxiL-TEVxTWiSByFTlPHVvPKbz_3vNxBZBSV1mNBaFSb-sqdkxwq33ki1-xiz740qnUkiDfQtKFDqk4q3vncLFG7IDQ9N-MwyLLfTuYR6hMz8Q0e-KOKcjtUSF_d1L_uE/s1600/IMG_7737.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipu6uxCX8v8FDxiL-TEVxTWiSByFTlPHVvPKbz_3vNxBZBSV1mNBaFSb-sqdkxwq33ki1-xiz740qnUkiDfQtKFDqk4q3vncLFG7IDQ9N-MwyLLfTuYR6hMz8Q0e-KOKcjtUSF_d1L_uE/s320/IMG_7737.JPG" wt="true" /></a>Thanks Ben Cheryl and Little Samara for the great time.</div>Jodyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04184108398718681701noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3094841946407112320.post-57691057664243062582010-04-02T23:14:00.000-06:002010-04-02T23:14:58.514-06:00Happy EasterOK ...Ok I am going to update my blog soon I promise.

Well it happens at our house every once in a while so we thought we would change things up a bit. <br />
Yesterday after school I gave Slade a list of things we had to eat and I asked him to make a few menus. He had a lot of fun and he did a great job. The girls had no idea what was going to happen later but I knew they were going to love it. <br />
Just before dinner Slade brought me the menus and we handed them out to the family. He named our restaurant GURNEYS HOUSE OF FOOD. They had so much fun choosing what they would have for their entree, drinks and desert. Dano then explained to them that the restaurant they would be dining at was a fancy one and they needed to go and get dressed up. You don't need to tell my kids twice when it comes to dressing up they were all over it. <br />
When the kids returned in their fancy clothing and make-up for the girls Dano took pictures so they would feel so glamorous. Dano called them mademoiselle and garcon all night and they giggled every time. <br />
Libby however missed out on our fun evening, she fell asleep as soon as the menus were brought out. <br />
They ate without complaining and that doesn't happen very often. <br />
It was a success.<br />
I HEART MY FAMILY!Jodyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04184108398718681701noreply@blogger.com2
