Salt Lake Temple Pictures

I wanted to share these pictures with all of you. I took these pictures the last time the youth from our ward went to do Baptisms. I think that the pictures turned out GREAT!!!! I love my new camera, and I am still learning how to use the thing. Thanks again Shane for a wonderful birthday and Christmas present.

Brand New Year Recording

On November 5th, the youth from our ward/stake had the wonderful opportunity to attend a video recording for an upcoming video broadcast that will be shown to the youth and their leaders throughout the world this upcoming January. It was really fun to be apart of this event. I just hope that the youth walked away from the Conference Center feeling the spirit and remembering what they had heard from Elder Jeffery R. Holland. The message Elder Holland gave was excellent and really gave all of us a different view of living up to the standards of the gospel and to NEVER DENY WHAT YOU BELIEVE AND KNOW IS TRUE!!!!!

Here are a few picture that I took of all of us waiting for the program to start.

It really was just of sea of youth everywhere with a handful of leaders. I felt bad for the couples leaving the Temple that night, being bombarded with youth from every direction, and I even joked about it. The funny thing was that, that Thursday (Nov. 6th) was our stake temple day, and when we left to go home Shane and I along with Jeff and Rebecca Forsgren were with the sea of youth who were attending the Thursday night recording of the same program. It was an adventure, but was worth it.

So I think I have to be the worlds worst blogger. My last post was almost a month ago. I had been on here to post other items but couldn't figure out what to post. My brother and his family seem to update their blog weekly, and even my mom has updated her's a couple of times during the October. So I guess that classifies me as the world's worst blogger.

October has been quite busy for us Kempton's going here and there, to work, fishing, hunting, class reunions, the temple, dinners with family, youth activities, and the list goes on and on and on. Work has been challenging for me, things have been slow for a few months now as a result of the current economy, and a few other things that would take to much time to type out.
I have REALLY needed to find a new job for quite sometime, but never really lit the fire under my feet, until we found out that they were doing away with one of the shifts at work, and not getting rid of any employees 23 of us to be exact (to me it just doesn't make sense that would be 12/11 per shift and no work to supply that many of us), and were changing our hours to 8:30 to 5:00 M-F. YUCK!!!!! Sorry for all of you who work those hours. I have worked early hours for many years and usually find myself getting up around 4:30 am to be to work by 6:30 am. I am currently pursuing other options and if you have any ideas for me I would love them. Please pray that I will find something and SOON. I will keep everyone posted.

I love Fall!!!

Well Fall is officially here in Grantsville. I have been waiting for cooler weather for WEEKS now and can hardly wait to snuggle on the coach with a nice warm blanket. I love fall for several reasons, but I think the ones that top my list are: 1. The falls colors (I love living in Utah, the seasons that we get here are amazing, and I love them all, but I really love all of the fall foliage. Orange, Reds, Yellow. The color combos are breath taking to me). 2. Snuggling with a warm blanket on the couch because its still to early to turn that furnace on. Shane is a heater himself, so I snuggle with a blanket and not him. I would just make him hotter. 3. HALLOWEEN-- I love seeing all the kids in costume and I LOVE ALL OF THAT CANDY. 4. MLB PLAYOFFS- I love baseball and love watching the playoffs. Shane and I surprisingly met during playoffs. I however haven't been watching any games, a few innings here and there, not that I am boycotting. I should be!!! I am a Yankees fan and they didn't make this year after 12 years straight- Thanks a lot Joe Torre. I am rooting for the White Sox and the Cubbies. I REFUSE to cheer for BOSTON and the DODGERS.
I had to change my blog wallpaper to one that fit the season. I hope that you all enjoy it. I sure do.

Friday Night Lights (Grantsville Style)

Last friday night, my neice performed during half time at the Grantsville Cowboys football game. Aynsley took a mini cheer class from the cheerleaders at the high school, and couldn't wait to perform. She did a fabulous job, and we can't wait to see more of her routines. Here are some of the pictures from that night. I am still trying to get used to my new camera with all it settings, so some of the pictures are a little blurry. Sorry!!!! Shane told me on friday night after the game that my camera does in fact have a sports setting. Oh well, like I said I'm still getting used to it.

Hunting Shane Style

I'm such a blogging slacker. It has been a while since I last blogged anything at. Shane's hunting adventure proved to be unsuccessful. Personally I think that he is way to picky and the animal has to be the perfect one. He could just be getting soft in his old age too. Shane did however have a mean and nasty pit bull attack his bumper on his truck out in Rush Valley one evening while he was doing a road hunt. As soon as I get a good clear picture of his bumper I will post the picture. I didn't believe his story at first but there are seriously teeth marks (and blood) from that stupid dog. Maybe he should take up hunting Pit bulls.

Still Hunting!!!

Well as many of you know, that I am married to a great white hunter (or so Shane thinks he is), and Shane has spent a lot of time since August 16 on the Archery hunt for Elk and Deer. He has been unsuccessful as of yet and informs me that he has a few more days to bring home the big trophy. I am glad that Shane enjoys his time in the great outdoors. Good luck hunting Sunshine!!!
Maybe Shane should take up reading. Shane informed me last night that I am officially grounded from reading for a month. I told him to let me finish the book I was on and then I would take a break. Let's just see how long that lasts. =)
