Levi Huffacker Thompson

I would like to introduce the world to our little Levi.

Levi came into our lives and was gone in a flash.

I went in for my normal 16 wk appointment, hopeful and excited

to see if we were having a misses or a mister.

After losing one baby a few years ago I knew something was wrong right away.

there was no flash of color on the screen and no movement.

My Doctor who is amazing stiffened right up and I knew we had lost our baby.

I tell Justin and we try to round up our five little miracles amid phone

calls hoping to find out what we are having, to tell them (this was one of the hardest things).

The next day I send my husband to work, because I can handle this and would

rather he was home after I deliver for a couple day.  I go off

to the hospital by myself because I'm Strong and its only an ultrasound.

Well lets just say it was more then I could handle and was trying my

hardest to keep it together and I thought I was until the nice old man

sitting by me in the waiting room ask me if I was Ok and when

I responded yes and he just said you don't look like you are.

I am taking back and after they look around, their is nothing abnormal

with anything going on in my uterus.

I come home get Evie down for he nap, call Justin

to tell him I'm an idiot for thinking I was fine on my own.

Have lunch and have one of many tender mercies for the Lord.

Sitting just outside my kitchen window were to Doves.

I have never seen Doves in my yard, but their they were out there in the cold forming a heart.

Justin and my Dad give me a blessing and we take the kids to Justin's mom for the night.

We make it to the hospital and walk past the nursery, past a Happy dad with his new little girl.

I can till picture her in my mind perfect and beautiful a true blessing from a loving Heavenly Father.

Believe it or not but this also was a tender mercy, a reminder that she was a miracle and

our Levi is one also.

I get all setup and 7 hours later I delivered Levi, all 2 oz, 5 in of him, and I love him

and hold him and feel his spirit around us.  I'm not sad because I know he is mine and he is Justin

and we are a family and someday I will hug and hold and tell my Levi how much I love him, oh what a day that will be.  I tell my nurse this (who also is a tender mercy, because she is so much like my bff Jen, that I trust her and so grateful for her).

Here is where you all get to know how wonderful my Doctors is and how he also is a tender mercy.

After I had Levi all the other junk wasn't coming out.  So he ordered people around to get this or that and sat down in a chair and talked to us and shard his testimony and told us how he and his wife

20 years ago went threw all of this and when his alarm went of to wake up and it had been 3 and a half hours and finally everything was done and he headed off to his office to work.  He taught

me that people are way more important then sleep or schedules.

I was so afraid to leave and go home to go with out Levi and I didn't want to go.  Then a man came

from the mortuary and he came and got my little boys and left with him.  I still really don't like him, poor him who gets to have me not like him just because it was his job to come.  I slept after this and we had breakfast and then I had to leave I felt so panic and needed to be home right then. 

Thank you to all my family and friends who are their for my family, who brought dinner, who watched my kids and let me just talk.

I am so thankful to the Lord who has filled my sorrow with light and I am so thankful

to know and I mean know that families are forever.  I have felt my Levi and no one

can take that from me.  I am so thankful to a wonderful Savior, who came and died that

I might live and live I will and so will you.  I am thankful for all those who a kind and loving Heavenly Father has sent into my life.

Happy 4th of July!!!!

little brother who protect it.

Second I love the traditions and having a nice warm Holiday.

We start our day of with the Kaysville City Parade

(which this year Dallin that stud was a volunteer

and helped with keeping people back and safely away from

the floats).

Next its back to my Mom and Dad's for a BBQ.

(this year my oldest sister Jennell family wasn't able to come

and so we missed them)

Then its off for a family hike!

Then some R&R.

Then we make our way up to the high school for the local events and

Fireworks!!!

(this year sadly Milo is sick so Justin missed the parade and I'll miss hiking but

here's hoping he'll feel up to the fireworks)

What to you guys do?  Let me know if you have a good one!

What time is it?

I found this amazing clock at the DI.

I must say that I fell hard for it.  I love the clean lines

the numbers on the glass.  It totally reminded me

of a clock you might find in a school gym in the 50's

So what else could I do but take a chance on it

and bring it home to meet the family.

Now that it was apart of my life I didn't know just

how to handle it.  I thought of vintage fabric or maybe some

vintage wall paper.  Then in April Conference I heard

this from Elder Richard G Scott

"There is only one that she didn’t put with the others.

It is still behind the glass in our kitchen clock.

 It reads, “Jeanene, it is time to tell you I love you.”

It remains there and reminds me of that exceptional daughter of Father in Heaven."

I Loved the saying and I thought of my clock but alas

as life does it got in the way and I forgot all about it.

Until this past June Relief Society Activity

where my RS President Sister Thompson quoted it.

So I decided to act and to act fast before anything could

interrupt.

I sprayed painted the inside and out.

and my amazing friend Megan used her mad cricket skills

to cut out the letters.

Next we used spray adhesive to adhere the letters

and for good measure I modge podge them on.

Don't you love it!!!! I do!!!

Here's a cost run down.

Clock  $8.00

Spray Paint $3.00

(I bought the blue at a store closing for 69 cents)

Paper $3.50

Grand total $14.50

On top of things????

I love my life, I love my kids and I have the most

amazing husband who I also love.

With that said, right now I should be cleaning up

the kitchen, doing some laundry, making dinner and

checking to make sure everything is ready for Sunday.

Oh did I mention I have as of yet not showered.

But alas I am maybe just a little bit in a funk and maybe

I might just be hiding from all that is required of me at this moment

and blogging just to have a few moments to myself.

Stay tuned because I have a project that should be done soon.

In fact I'm going to work on it as soon as all the

 things I listed above are done(well maybe not the shower). 

All I'll say now is it centers around a huge vintage clock

I was luck enough to find at the DI. 

Can't wait to get started and that is all the motivation

I need to finish all I have to, so why am I still blogging?  See ya later. Kem

Ooo la la

Wow hopefully I'll have to brush up on my

French, and since all the French I know came from

Pepe La Pew,  Looney Tunes here I come.

And I'm pretty sure you'll want to win also

so go on over to Oh Happy Day and enter!!!!!
