Fall

Saturday we were able to finally get together with Mandi and James. We have been trying for months and we finally made it happen. Mandi has been my best friend forever. Hayden was so excited for Maddi to come over, they love each other. They came over and we ate pizza and then we went to the Western Heritage Center. We did a corn maze without a map, not a good idea. We did a blackout maze, no lights and fake spider webs everywhere, not a good idea. The kids got to do a hay jump, they loved that. Hayden found a cute kitten that she wanted to take home too. The cat stayed at the farm, thank goodness.

After the maze we went to Casper's for ice cream and, Yes Mandi, it was my favorite part :-)
It was so great to get together with the Hales, next time we wont wait so long.

Sunday my family came over. Harmony my sister from Kauai was here with her family for a wedding. We had to do family pictures first, that was Jeremy's favorite part of the night. We had a taco bar and Abbey made her famous peach pie. We celebrated harmony's 27th birthday. Hayden loved playing and taking care of Devyn. We will miss the Darrohn's

Free Saturday

There is nothing like having a fun weekend and not having to pay for it.
Saturday we got to invited to the BYU vs Wyoming game in Provo with Josh and Michelle. They have season tickets and had two extras and were nice enough to invite us. Jeremy loves the games and I like getting out. BYU had another wipe out, no score from Wyoming. Thanks Josh & Michelle!
After the game we rushed to IKEA, my mom had given me a gift certificate for my birthday. I love IKEA and Jeremy also said, "I really like this store" so I guess we will be going back. I could have spent all day. We got some organizing boxes and they were all half price. I even had money leftover on the gift card. Thanks Mom!
Then we went to Carrie and Preston's, they had invited us & Tim & Jessica to go the U2 Laser show at the Clark Planitarium. We don't get to see them too often and we were excited to spend some time with them and see their cute kids. I love Bono and so the show was great. Thanks Carrie & Preston!

Tagged

I guess I will do a tag. I don't usually do them, because I am too boring, but I have nothing else to blog at this time.

1. Where were you 10 years ago?

Well in 1998, I lived in SugarHouse in an apartment, it was a scary area and my car was broken into a few times. I worked at LDS Hospital as a CNA in the outpatient cath lab. I really loved that job and all the people I worked with. I was also doing prerequisites at Salt Lake Community College for Nursing School.

2. What's on your list today?
  • Exercise, that's on my list everyday, but it doesn't happen everyday.
  • Mow the lawn
  • Make dinner
  • Fold laundry

3-What if you were a Billionaire?

  • I would give my parents and siblings the money it would take to pay off their debts and retire and live happily ever after.
  • Buy a few vacation homes.
  • I would continue my nursing degree
  • I would go to culinary school and cosmetology school, 2 things I have always wanted to do.
  • Give much to charity
  • Hire a masseuse

4. 5 places you have lived:

  1. Fielding, Utah 84311
  2. Sugarhouse Utah (2 different places)
  3. Murray Utah
  4. Providence Utah

5. 3 bad habits

  1. I cannot sit down and relax, it sounds so dumb, but its a real problem, I don't watch TV unless I am folding laundry or jogging on the treadmill. I need help, I always feel like I should be doing something.
  2. I pick my cuticles all the time and will sometimes just cut them off with a small blade. I have really tried to stop, I want to have nice girl hands.
  3. I pick my face and pull out my hair. My family makes fun of my hair pulling. (okay, now I like sound a complete freak)

6. What kind of snacks do you like?

  • I love chocolate, I do not like salty or chewy snacks at all.
  • homemade cookies, brownies, rice crispy treats with m&m's
  • cold stone ice cream

Okay I am tagging Britany and Harmony: They are the ones that talked me in to doing the blog thing and they have turned into sloggers, I know, I know, you have very crazy lives and this is the least of your worries.

This Friday we had a "Good-Bye Party" for Jenna. Jenna is Cannon's good friend and she is leaving Wednesday to go on a mission. Jenna is going to Birmingham Alabama, (speaking Ebonics) just kidding speaking English. We all love Jenna and know that she will be a great missionary. Cannon invited a few of their good friends and the family came too. We will miss her.

Saturday morning Hayden had to get 8, yes 8, teeth pulled. She had crowding and needs the room to move her teeth into position. She was such a tuffy, I felt so bad. She couldn't eat for a few hours, and she has learned how to chew around the holes. The tooth fairy is going to wonder what the heck happened. She is practicing her new, more relaxed smile for school pictures in one week.

Hayden was very happy that after her teeth were pulled we went to see her friend Madeleine, who just got baptized. We couldn't stay long though, because we had an appointment to go and have her hair highlighted (her first time) and cut by Jessica. Jessica made her hair look so great. Thanks Jess! Notice the cute highlights in the "after" pictures.

And....the best news of all. On Sunday our ward got split. Jeremy and I are super excited that we now won't have to do our sharing time with 11, yes 11, 3-4 year olds. Our whole ward got released, and so for now, we have no callings. I am sure that won't last long. We will enjoy it while it lasts.
