Saturday's Events

Today was a BUSY day!! Fun, but busy. My cousin, Lauren Floyd, got married today in the Bountiful temple to Sean Stewart. CONGRATULATIONS!! It was fun to see family on my mom's side that I haven't seen in a long while, some in years!! Afterwards we enjoyed a delicious lunch at the Eldredge Manor in Bountiful. (A quick fact I learned while at the luncheon- Lauren's new father in-law is an author and has been on the best seller's list! I'm practically related to a famous author!! Hee Hee!!)
Then it was off to watch the BYU vs. Utah football game. We were invited to watch it at a friend's house in Pleasant Grove. They have theatre seating in their basement and a huge screen that took up the whole wall. LOVED IT!! Now that's the way to watch a movie in your house. The kids played and we had lots of good food, good company, but not so good entertainment. If you were rooting for Utah, you loved it. So there weren't to many happy people in the room, especially the die hard BYU fans. We pretty much got slaughtered the last half!

Alise and Juan came in to town yesterday. They will be here through the holidays next week. We got most of the grocery shopping done yesterday for the week in preparation for more family coming in to town!! We will have a crowd and I can't wait!

Most of the BSU fans were rooting for BYU too-even if they weren't LDS-They all wanted utah to lose so bsu would get a better bowl game. That's great about getting to see your family-I love weddings they always bring back memories of my own wedding day.

How close have you been to a Prophet?

David, and two other guys he works with, were invited to the Jazz game last Friday night. I have come to find out as a construction wife, to get business, you gotta play A LOT ! Here is a short list, not limited to, of what I mean by "play": Golfing (about 3 times a week-depending on the week and in warm weather of course) Snow skiing (about 2 times a week, again this depends on the week and when there's snow) Fancy dinners (this can also be counted as lunch, which happens more than I know I'm sure!) Executive Retreats (this will be happening in February for about 5 days in AZ, which will have all 5 days full of golfing, guaranteed!!) Jazz games (again, when in season) I don't know about you, but I think I'm in the wrong career!! This house wife things just does not include ANY of those benefits!! Anyway, on with the story at the Jazz game... These weren't just ordinary tickets. Where do executives and people in high places sit? Oh yeah, ...

Our New Family Pictures

Image
I have been on the hunt for a really good photographer for a long time here and there.  And I think I found one that did everything I wanted.  First, she comes and looks at the feel of your home.  For us I just sent pictures of our living room where I wanted the pictures placed.  Then she suggests colors to wear and sent pictures back with our room and picture placements she puts on the walls.  And with 5 kids, especially Jenna, you really have to photo shop A LOT!!  Almost every photo with Jenna she had to photo shop.  She did amazing!!  I was so nervous when we went over and viewed our pictures at her house.  As David put it after our photo shoot “She has to be a magician to get anything good out of that!  That was a disaster!”  After looking at our proofs I said, “well, you are a magician!”  And David said after leaving and climbing in our car to go home “That was worth every penny.”  Success! I do have a few faces to...

Melanie’s Calling in Life

Image
Two Days ago Melanie was getting ready to go out the door.  She had her coat and was looking for her other jacket.  I asked her why she needed it when she already had her coat on.  She said she was going to take it to her friend at school, Humana, because she wears 3 jackets and doesn’t have a coat.  5 minutes later Melanie asked me “Mom, can we buy Humana a coat?”  I had already been thinking about that but told Melanie I would look while I was out to see if I could find one.  I went to 3 different stores to look!  Winter coats in that size are hard to find these days!  But I finally found something at Walmart and got gloves and a hat.  My friend, Angela, who drove carpool that morning called me while I was out looking.  She called worried because Melanie had said on the way to school that her friend didn’t have a coat and was sleeping on the floor.  I told her I knew about the coat and was getting one but Melanie hadn’t mentioned ...
