Hi everyone!
Last Sunday at church, Seth's red, razor scooter disappeared. I am hopeful that it was just an oversight with someone not realizing the scooter wasn't theirs. So, if anyone has seen an "extra" scooter in their garage, please contact me and we will come identify as ours or not. A few identifying marks, red, razor, both foam handle pads have been removed. Also, we are missing his "hat and helmet." It is a GAP brand camoflauge hat and a black helmet. We are assuming he has left it in someone's yard. Thanks so much!

Any one looking to sell a baby gate?
Shiloh is crawling around now, and I need to find a baby gate that will work for my stairway with a wide opening. Does anyone have one that they are looking to sell? Or if you've purchased one that you really like, I'd love recommendations, too.

Sisters: Our June Enrichment is Tuesday, June 23 and the activity is to GET GOING ON OUR FOOD STORAGE! We will meet at the Midway Cannery at 6:00 p.m., 31 East Main Street in Midway--it's an old stone building just west of the Mountain House Grill. You don't need to order or pay ahead of time--just come and can/drypack what you want. Julie Briggs will hand out a list of items and prices a week or so before hand so you can plan what you want. You pay when you leave. We'll work until 8:00 p.m. You'll be amazed what you can accomplish there in two hours!

Missionary Mom's
Cobblestone Ward missionary moms! There is a great website for all the "old" and "new" missionary moms! It's missionsite.net and it's FREE! I set up a site for Andy not long after he left. It's a great way to have family and friends keep up on letters and pictures. Andy's site is http://www.missionsite.net/elderharrington/main - Also it will link you to other missionaries in your son or daughter's mission.
Sending a missionary out is a daunting task. The paperwork, shopping, packing is hard enough - but add the emotional part and it is overwhelming at times. There is an email support group it's http://www.ldsmissionarymoms.com/subscribe/ - This site will place you in an email group with other mm's in your child's mission.
Granted, not everyone needs the support, like I did!! I was surprised at my initial sadness when we took Andy to the airport, so I started to reach out for understanding. My personal experience was faith promoting and I found myself digging a little deeper into my testimony. My prayers were more meaningful and the has Lord blessed me beyond my own expectations.
Let's all do lunch!! Meet at the park - or at Arbys on Wednesdays? :)

Great Prices on Bulk Wheat
If you are interested in ordering wheat, my sister just told me about a great deal! Her friend is placing an order for 45 lb. wheat buckets (white or red) for 16.50 each. That is much less then Costco, Walmart, Lehi Roller Mills, and other places I have bought from before. I've been out of town and just found out tonight, so I will need to know tomorrow- Monday, May 18th, if you would like to order. I don't need the money, just let me know if you would like to purchase some. If you have any questions, just email me. Thanks!! Jill ** Wheat isn't something that we've talked about yet, and if you have a limited budget you should really focus on getting your 3 month supply of the food's your family regularly eats first. But this is a great price and great opportunity and convenient way for you to store up on wheat. It is an essential thing to store. Remember- wheat is just flour! You grind wheat into flour, whole wheat flour ofcourse, but it is flour nonetheless, which you need a lot of. Wheat is cheap, easy to store, sustains life, provides your body with many vitamins to sustain life, and has a long shelf life- you don't even need to worry about it right now- just get it first!! **

You are supposed to have 300 lbs. of grains per person for a whole years supply. I know- that sounds like a ton!! So for a family of 5 you would need 1500 lbs. of grains. But that isn't all supposed to be just wheat. I've copied a chart I found on another website that has an example of how you might want to diversify that 300 lbs. of grains to have a better variety. You can do what is shown there, or change it depending on what your family likes to eat. Based on this chart it has 100 lbs. of wheat per person per year, so that would be about 2 buckets per person. So for your whole family- 10 buckets. (ofcourse your kids are little and definitely don't count as an adult- these numbers are for adults, so children would need much less. But I just like to count my kids as adults because they grow so quickly and I don't want to have to worry about it in 5 or 10 years that they will need more, but I am kind of on the crazy side and like to have lots of food stored!) So I would reccomend getting whatever you can afford right now. I really don't think you could have too much of it, and it lasts for so long that you don't even have to worry about rotating it right now. I have both the hard red wheat and the hard white wheat. I'm not sure if you're familiar with either, but I like using the hard white wheat for making bread. I've heard people like the taste of the red wheat if they are actually eating the wheat- like for cracked wheat cereal. Hopefully this helps and isn't way overwhelming! Let me know if you have any other questions or would like to order some.

This Wednesday, our family went out to dinner for $7.00 and we each had a drink too! Its was a great dinner and I didn't have to cook a thing or even clean up!
