Welcome Baby Gardner

Josephine "Josie" Adelle Gardner

November 5, 2010 2:24am

8 pounds 4 ounces

20 inches

I was in labor with Josie for 21 hours, and in the labor & delivery room for only 5 of those hours when I pushed for 14 minutes and out she came. Josie shares a birthday with 2 of her uncles, Andrew and I each have a brother born on the 5th of November 1979. I had a half natural, half medicated birth. The temporary epidural only worked on the right half of my body and they never got a chance to fix it. My doctor had 4 or 5 other patients that were laboring in the hospital already and I came in and delivered before all of them. My L&D nurse was the best and I'm so glad she got called in to work that night. She definitely contributed to me having an awesome experience and a safe VBAC.

The Gift of Christmas

Thursday Dec 2nd

6:30 PM @ Church

This dinner & Christmas celebration will be a delight! We will focus on sharing the gifts of the season with those we are surrounded by, and talking about extending it throughout the entire year!

PLEASE BRING your FRIENDS & neighbors. Christmas is the perfect time to extend a hand of friendship & fellowship to others!!! 

Nursery will be provided

Baby Carlsen

 Tyler Austin Carlson 7lbs 14oz 10/20/10 @ 4PM exactly.  I had a problem free pregnancy until delivery when they broke my water.  We found out I had tons of fluid! (if only I could have given some of that fluid to Christa...)  All the fluid made it so that his head never settled into my pelvis.  The cord came out because his head was so high.  Its called a prolapsed cord where the cord comes out and gets pinched cutting off the baby's lifeline.  After a run to the O.R. for a emergency c-section he came out a perfect baby.  We feel really blessed to have Tyler here and thankful to live in the day of modern medicine!  

1st Presidency Letter

Bishop read in church a letter from the 1st Presidency asking that we take all gospel inquiries and personal questions to our LOCAL leaders.

Kenneth Max Lewis

 From morning sickness, to a partial placenta abruption, to a breech baby that was successfully turned, to an induction after going a week past due date - Kenny is truly unique to us!  Although, he still looks like Payson & Daddy!  He is so sweet and we love having a baby again!  Even Payson just adores him.

Born October 5th @ 4:39am.    7lbs 10oz  & 18.5 inches.

Eldredge Baby

Corbin Woolley Eldredge

Born Oct 13, 2010

Time 3:15 am

Weight 9 lbs

Lenght 20 1/2 in

 

The labor went well. Corbin was born less than an hour and 1/2 after Janeen went into labor.  He did decide to come out sunny side up so the delivery was a little difficult.  He has been a very good baby so far and the other kids love him.

Jensen Baby

 On Sept. 29 I went to my doctor for an ultrasound.  She discovered that the fluid levels around the baby were really low.  My level was a 4 and normal is 10-12.  The plan was to keep me over night at the hospital with an I.V. and drinking lots of fluid.  If my levels increased I would go home and be on bed rest for a week, if they did not increase I would be induced the following day.  The next morning my levels were 5.3, I would be having a baby on Oct.1, (due date was Oct. 18).  The pitocin started at 11am.  My doctor finally came at 4pm to break my water which finally threw me into full labor and the baby was born at 6:28pm.  He weighed 5 lbs. 14.9 oz. and was 19.5 in.  He was completely healthy which was a blessing because the umbilical cord was short and also the placenta did not look very good.  We chose to name him Andrew Tate Jensen.  He is such a good baby and I have enjoyed him the most of all my children at this age.  Xander & Kaysha love him so much and help me take care of him and love him.

The Grow Box

Hi all you  gardeners out there!   Autumn and cooler weather are finally here, and that means we can get back to those gardens.  I hope you didn’t pull everything out!   The tomatoes, squash and melons will keep growing and producing for another couple of months!  This is the glory time for peppers and eggplant.  And now is a great time to plant cool weather crops.  Peas, Swiss Chard, Spinach, Lettuce, Carrots, Garlic, Onions, Kohl Rabi, and many other cool weather crops will grow through the winter months here, giving you year-round gardening.  It’s a great time to be outside, its therapeutic, and it follows counsel of our Prophets.  So let’s get going again!

Money Saving Tip: Use sales flyers and shop for the best bargains. You can plan your menus around the bargains, or use your shopping list. Always use coupons. Shop loss-leaders. These are the items the store loses money on but they draw customers. They are usually placed on the ends of the aisles. Again, you can plan your weekly menu around these items.

Relief Society Broadcast

General Relief Society Meeting this Saturday - 5pm @ Church - wear a dress - enjoy refreshments after - and PLEASE carpool (limited parking due to the town "Fiesta Sahuarita" event)

Utah Fruit

There has been a change in the availability andorder/delivery date for the second round of fruit.

** The next order of fruit will be delivered on Monday, Sept. 27th. (I will email out when it gets here.)

** I need orders and money in by Friday, Sept. 24th at 9:30 a.m. Orders submitted later than that may not get filled this go round. 

With the last order I had increased the growers price by $1 a box to get the fruit from my friend in Queen Creek here to Tucson.  There was also freight charge per box that we didn't realize the grower charged us until after you all paid for and picked up your fruit.  From now on they will be charging freight.  The cost of that has been added into the price of the fruit, so you will see that reflected in the price of the fruit this time.  If you already paid for this second round of fruit, I will need to collect the difference from you – you can just bring it when you pick up your fruit.  Sorry!

If you haven't heard back from me that I got your order for this round, then I don't have your order.  To order please email me at trish@markerman.com or call 520-722-2299.  I will be sending out an email with directions to my house and other info. as it gets closer to the delivery date. 

If you would like to order a 1/2 box instead of a full box of something, try splitting with a friend or let me know and I might be able to work that out for you – although there are no guarantees.

Have a great day!

Trish

***Please note that some changes have been made on what fruit is available this round.

All fruit is a US#1 grade which means that there may be a few marks or blemishes on the fruit.  Fruit listed below should be available (I will let you know if anything changes).  Fruit availability is subject to ripening times. 

Available Fruit

Red Bartlett Pears      Jumbo        $27             38# - ¾ BS.

Red Bartlett Pears      Large          $25             38# - ¾ BS.

Red Bartletts are sweeter than the regular Bartlett and are wonderful for canning.  These are my favorite pear--such great flavor!

Angelus Peaches               ¾ Bushel    $27             32# - ¾ BS.

These are a large, beautiful peach and are by far, the yummiest variety.  They are very sweet and juicy.  The grower stated they had a great crop of these this year.  Make sure you get some!!!

Gala Apples                            $29                38# box

Early Fuji Apples                    $29                38# box

Raspberries                            $30              per flat (12 clamshells)

All Cherries are frozen and come with sugar in them.

Provident Living

Money Saving Tip: To avoid duplicate purchases, do an inventory before you shop. Start with the fridge, kitchen cabinets and pantry. Then check the laundry room, bathroom, and other storage areas. Itemize what you need to buy in categories, ordered the way the store does it: baking, beverages, dairy, fresh produce, health and beauty aids, etc. Make sure you have store flyers handy when you write your list so you can take note of the best deals that week. Jot down the size and price of sale items to avoid picking up the wrong one.

Homemade Fruit Leather

Making your own fruit roll ups is easier than you would think. "Fruit Roll-Ups" is actually a
commercial name for a disappearing practice of food preservation called fruit leather. You might
ask, if I can save time and energy by buying them ready made in the store why bother? The
answer is that most fruit leathers that you buy in the store are more candy than anything else and
have very little nutritional value. You can change that by making your own. It's a great activity for
using with a study on pioneering or nutrition, a way to avoid the junk food habit, or a simple trail
snack for your nature hikes... or maybe your just looking for a way to use up that over ripe fruit.

SUPPLIES:
Fresh, canned, or frozen fruit
Blender
Non-stick baking sheets*
Non-stick baking spray (e.g. PAM is a commercial brand)

Money Saving Tip: Cut your cell phone bill. Don’t let your fear of running out of minutes lead you to signing up for a plan with a block of time you’ll never use in a month. Scrutinize your bill to make sure you actually need all the features you’re paying for. See if you can save with a prepaid plan.

Visiting Teaching Conference

Calendar our annual visiting teaching conference - see attached FLYER.

Order BULK Utah Fruit

The following is the info sent from Trish in Tucson who will take bulk orders from any of you interested in canning or sharing, etc.  This is the info she sent:  (If you order with & pay her, we will bring down the orders to Sahuarita!)

"I spoke with my fruit contact today (in Utah) and due to a cold, late spring they are about two weeks behind schedule. They say that it's looking like fruit won't be ripe until mid-September. They will let me know as soon as they have a definite delivery date when it gets closer to ripening times. They solidified prices.  Those prices and the fruit availability are listed below.

There will be several orders this year, this being the first, so if you miss this one maybe the next one will work better for you. Later in the year we will have peaches again, pears, and lots of apples: red & gold delicious, fuji, granny smith, braeburn, gala, gonagold and jons.

To Place an Order: Please include your phone number with your order in case I need to contact you with any changes to your order. Email me at trish@markerman.com (email is the preferred method) or call me at 520 722-2299 with your order.  Payment will need to be made by the final order date. (ASAP) You can pay with cash or checks – payable to “Trish Anderson”.

Have a wonderful day!
Trish Anderson"

Last year they offered the cherries with or without sugar already mixed in. If you get them without the sugar, you obviously get more fruit but would then have to add your own sugar for pie filling or whatever. Please specify how you want them if you order cherries. The cherries come pitted whether you order it with sugar or without.

Money Saving Tip: “The odds of going to the store for a loaf of bread and coming out with only a loaf of bread are three billion to one.” ― Erma Bombeck

Provident Living

Money Saving Tip: Be patient. Make it a practice to hold an item in your hands at least ten seconds before you place it in your cart and ask yourself, “Do I really need this?” The more an item costs, the longer you should take to answer the question. For a car or a large appliance, wait thirty days. Then, if you still want the item, it is probably essential. After thirty days the impulse to purchase nonessential items will usually pass.

Money Saving Tip:
Make your own buttermilk. Here's how:
1/2 cup *buttermilk
3 cups warm water
1 cup nonfat dry milk
or
1 1/3 cup instant nonfat dry milk

(*Buttermilk: to 1 cup milk, add 1 tbsp vinegar or lemon juice and let stand for 5 minutes.)

Put buttermilk water and nonfat dry milk in a big, clean jar and stir or shake until powder is dissolved. Let stand at warm room temperature until it clabbers, about 10 hours in the winter or 5 hours in the summer. After it clabbers, store in the refrigerator. Save 1/2 cup to mix buttermilk next time. Buy commercial buttermilk occasionally for a fresh "start."

Baby Dalton Grissom

Dalton Leland Grissom was born on June 13, 2010.  He was 4 weeks early, because Kathy had placenta previa. The doctor thought that it was the most safe to deliver on the 13th, because they couldn't stop the contractions that had started.  He was born via a rushed c-section (not emergency because Dustin was able to be in there when he was born, but we signed the paperwork afterwards, that is how fast it happened).  He was 5 lb 14.3 oz and 19 inches long at birth.  Because he was so early, he did have some breathing issues, and went into the NICU for 5 days, only one of which he was on breathing help.  He did awesome, and didn't loose very much weight at all at the hospital.  He is doing well at home, and Dryden loves him!  We are grateful that the delivery was able to wait until my mom was in town to help out, she was coming to help out with me on bedrest.  My mom was here for 2 weeks, and then my mother in law came in for 2 weeks also, and is still here until July 10. 

I want to thank EVERYONE that helped me during the 5 weeks I was on bedrest!!!  I could not have done it without everyone's help and support.  I really did feel like I had a family away from our families with all the help we were able to get from the ward!  Thank you all!

Baby Aaron Stewart

Aaron Charles Stewart 7 lbs. 10 oz. @ 21 inches long The Story: I had experienced contractions off and on for a few weeks, but the strong contractions started that morning around 3 a.m.  I kept myself relaxed for the first couple of hours, but then woke up my husband to help me out around 5:00.  Using the relaxation techniques I'd learned in Hypnobirthing classes a couple years ago, I was able to stay relaxed at home until around 9:30, when we left for the hospital.  I was at 8 cm when we arrived there.  Things slowed down a bit once there, especially since Aaron had his arm wound tightly around his neck.  My doctor was unable to attend the birthing, so the on call doctor came, and was quite rude about my choice to have a natural birth.  However, once Aaron was born, he did realize that the reason he wasn't coming very easily was not because I was "pushing wrong," but because of Aaron's arm being up.  But, even with the challenging doctor, the labor and delivery were both very successful, and a wonderful experience.  It truly was amazing to work with my body, my husband, and my baby to bring a precious little boy into the world!   We were happy to welcome a healthy, alert baby into our family.  He has been a wonderful addition!  Now, he is just adjusting to having a very overly helpful big brother!

More Changes in Callings

As the Primary fills it's open positions and Relief Society makes a few changes too, there will continue to be sisters released and taking new positions in the ward. What a blessing to have a shake-up like this! We are so grateful for every one's efforts and the growth that occurs, individually and as a ward, as we take on new responsibilities and get to know someone new because we now have new people we are exposed to and work with.

To all you sisters who served in Primary and Young Women's, I hope you feel welcome in Relief Society and know that you have always been a part of us, even though you did not attend the Sunday lessons. And to those who are now in Young Women's and Primary . . . every sister over 18 is part of Relief Society. The Sunday lessons are just a small part of that. We also have weekday activities and Visiting Teaching. I encourage you to participate in those. It will help you feel connected. That's what they are there for.

The Lord loves you and will bless you for your efforts to serve one another.

Ties for Sharing Time

Dear Ward Members,

I am looking for families that might be willing to part with some old ties.  I would like to use them in the singing time on June 13th.  You will not be getting these ties back in any useable condidtion.  If you have an extra tie or two lying around that you don't want cluttering up your house please donate it to primary singing time.  You can reach me at 625.5332 or a tawworkman@gmail.com and I would be happy to come and pick them up.  Thanks so much.

SERVICE

Dear Sisters, thank you, thank you, thank you for all you do!

There are so many opportunities all around us to serve one another, whether it comes in the form of an official calling, on a sign-up sheet, or something you just do.   Thank you for all you do!

We sadly say goodbye to Christa Jensen as the Counselor over all our extra mid-week activities, and Brita Addington as a Sunday Teacher, and wish them well in their new callings.  We will miss them!   Their service has been a blessing to all who have participated in the things they have been involved in.  We thank all who have served in the Young Women and Primary as well, and look forward to new opportunities with new the leaders.

There are a lot of babies comming in the near future and several girls with complications, and some having other challenges.  Thank you for your service in the past, now and what you will do in the near future to bless the lives of each other in child-care, cleaning, meals, and all the other things you do to support one another.

Thank you for befriending "the new girl" as she moves in and gets settled.  Most of us have been there and know what that feels like.  Thank you for expanding your circle of friends to include  someone else.  Thanks for all the little things you do that make someone else feel loved and cared for.  We all need to feel loved and needed!

This is the grass-roots of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  This is keeping Baptismal Covenants.  This is being "His hands".

Keep up the good work!
