Let them eat PIE!!

I stole this idea from Adam and Kay Robinson last year. It's a pie party-because you are so stinkin stuffed at Thanksgiving you can't enjoy and savor your pie. We had everyone bring a pie; 11 total-cut small and we ate PIE! Best idea ever. It's tasty and I definately have had my pie fix that I'll be okay on Thursday when their is no room left for that pie.

Darn cupcake found it's way to the pie party!

Pretty though!

Movie night

So I have had quite the week. Everything has hit me good from Friday to Tuesday. It all started with Danny my kitchen manager going on vacation and Lorraine going home to AZ. They sparked my hectic week. It started with doing closing to opening shifts, soccer game, jumping fences, sharing time, counting inventory to counting inventory, to forgetting to place an order, a manager not showing up, $1000.00 takeout order, praying for my produce order, printer going down, waiting hours for authorization of new printer, RD visits during all this, so I sent home all the work that I couldn't finish at work and than get home to find out our internet was yanked out of the wall for direct tv, so back to work I went at 1 am with tears in my eyes to finish up the saga. But I survived it. Feeling better about things I decided to go Christmas shopping. I turned the corner of the aisle and who do I see Brother Hague 1st counselor in the bishopric. 1st thought that comes to mind is crap- he is going to talk to me about the primary presidency and how our primary president is moving and we need a new one. I am determined to think that God will not throw this one at me. Brother Hague is like Shandy' this is so weird I was just assigned to call you. (Instant crap!) He says, as you have probably heard, (yes-yes-double crap)..............about our Christmas programs during sacrement.............uh-huh??................we want you to be the closing speaker. I instantly am relieved and very willing, not realizing what I was agreeing to but just thankful it had nothing to do with primary. Than it sinks in that I am the main speaker in sacrament for Christmas. Man I got set up real good. At least I have lots of time to prepare and so I went home and put up Christmas decorations a week earlier to get in the Christmas speaking mindset.

It's November and I have flowers blooming.

Soccer

We went to the Salt Lake Real game last week. Fun stuff. I felt like I was in a foreign place. I have never been to a soccer game and didn't know my husband and cousin were such intense fans. The funny part of the night was getting to and from our parking. We thought we found a good deal, $5.00 and you could see the stadiun from the lot. We were in for a surprise. We had to go through a dirt path and came across 2 fences. There were swarms of people and we had to climb over the fences to get there. I don't even know when the last time was that I climbed over a fence. The funny ironic part was I had all these hispanics helping me over. I felt like I was jumping the border. But we made it safely to and from the game.

A 2 year old can still be precious

Look at this little guy I get to watch Wednesdays and Mondays. You think it would make one baby hungry, but it just makes you grateful for some good spacage.

Birthday Extravaganza!

We had a 3 way birthday party. Jen on the 19th, Curtis the 6th and Jarom the 12th. We went to dinner at Ottavios and had 3 cakes. 3 cakes because each and every one of them are so special and great. Jen had a caramel corn cake, Curtis a coconut cake and Jarom a rice krispy cake. Phew we get a birthday break until the end of December and that is just Brady's which we always just figure it's Christmas that'll do.

Happy Birthday

Curtis just had his birthday. He turned 30. We went to dinner and a Jazz game. (3rd date night in one year) The nexty day we went to the aquarium and dinner with Dexter.

Ready to Go

Dexter grabbing everything he needs to go out the door.
