Sundays are exhausting

Christmas Party with Craig and Lorraine

Craig and Lorraine have the best ward Christmas party every year. We have never missed a one. Breakfast, cookies, PJ's and Santa. Plus Craigy loves to show off his grandson.



If your in Heber you have to stop at Dairy Keen to see the train.
Especially with a 2 year old boy with a fetish for trains.

Nativity Scenes

Lorrain, Dexter and me went to Midway to see Nativity Scenes around the world. We went room to room just looking at different cultures and their Nativity Scenes.
They had a kids area with nativity finger puppets and stories.

Kicking It

I looked back and found Dexter sitting like this. He gets that one from his father.

Pinion Christmas Tree

We were exicite to find our old grandpa in Lehi selling trees. He cut them down off an Indian Reservation in New Mexico. We have to get an Indian tree to put a little culture in our holiday.

Funny Kids

I love working at CPk and working with all the young tykes we have. Age 17-26-they make the world seem carefree and they don't worry about much. So I have 2 funny stories from my employees.
1st one Christian:
Christian and his friends were so excited to go to the Cold Play concert. He bought the tickets months ago and all his friends had paid him back. They got work off and headed to the big city for their concert. They present their tickets and they wouldn't work, so the worker sends them to another entrance, they try again and it doesn't work, so they are sent to another entrance. On the third entrance it is pointed out to them that the tickets were for St. Paul Minnesota 3 nights ago. Sad-devastated boys. They let Christian into the concert and his friends had to re-buy tickets to get in. He was just so excited he didn't even double check the city and date.
2nd story Haylee:
I have a sweet 17 year old girl that works for me. One day her mom called me and told me that she is quitting for her daughter. I was surprised and asked why-she said that she works with bad kids. (That was the first time to hear that-I have really good kids working there) So I had to get to the bottom of this story. Come to find out the night before Haylee-sweet and pure had pierced her nose with 2 of our bussers. ( I must point out that she was off the clock and done with work) Well mom wasn't too happy. That was it Haylee had to quit; because I think by her own choice, not the bussers that helped pierce here nose. Funny that she had to quit because of these boys, but goes to school with these boys as well. It has been 2 months and Haylee has fulfilled her punishment. Haylee and mom had healed their wounds and Haylee was allowed back to work at CPK. When she came back to ask for her job, I asked how was her nose. Anyway she is back and we love having her back.
Those are just 2 of latest stories at my work. Funny kids and they definately make work fun.

Projects

The projects never end or get 100% finished here.
This actually is an improvement, there use to be a gaping hole on the left: that got patched.
And our tiny laundry room got painted orange.
Next up shelves and a door of some sort.

This corner never has been painted; its just been hanging out.

It finally got painted. Next up paint the ceiling and paint the molding.

Survived!

I am glad to report that I survived the last 2 weeks of my life. I definately faced alot of new challenges and don't even want to add up the hours that I worked during the past 2 weeks; plus the addition of strepth throat I got during it all. It would frighten me. But now I am thankful that Danny my Kitchen Manager and Lorraine my greatest mom are back. I left work early today for my sanity sake. Ahhhh! Bless someone's heart.

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving came and went. It was a nice good one.
We headed out to WEJO for the day. My sweet boy-ate like a champ!

Brother Jarom got adopted into the Clark family.
His family ditched him.
