Update

so i've been negligent in keeping up my blog. Sorry! Well I had fun that weekend with Melanie, Jared, Amy, and Gage. Gage is a cute kid and I like the way he always has a song to sing. It was even more fun to watch his parents when he was having a tough time! He and I seem to have the same opinion of the Belagio water show....IT ROCKS! Maybe next time he and I will just hang out there and everyone else can do something else. We had fun at the Spring Preserve, even though I had gone there on our sister's weekend this spring, I saw new things and it was fun showing Gage. I liked the animal part the best I think.

Us girls went to the relief society broadcast on Sunday with Melissa's stake. I think its a great idea to do it like that. I really enjoyed it and reminds me of how blessed I am, and that I need to do more good things in my life!


It took me awhile to recover from two weekends in a row in Vegas, but I'm back to my chipper happy self! Conference Weekend was also really good. I was sad when Angela wasn't able to come down, but maybe I got more out of conference that way =) I started (again) a quilting project. I'm cutting up old clothes to make into an easy quilt. However, I think I'm probably just going to end up with lots of square rags and not a quilt. It did keep me awake during conference and it is always fun to cut things up. I'm worried about sewing anything because my sewing machine is in open rebellion currently. Granted I haven't used it that much, but it does seem to be an especially contrary machine!


Couple of other fun things for this past weekend was picking up Jamie's wedding dress and picking out a tiara. As Jamie said, "Everyone should have a tiara." Ok maybe thats what I said, I think Jamie said something more along the lines of "It will be great for dress up!" More practical, but I think my sentaments are applicable. I took some fun pictures of Jamie in her kokopelli shirt, kahki's, a veil and a tiara, but forgot to push save after I took them.





I also went shopping with Jamie and Cathy up to the outlets at Park City. I guess I'm one of the few people that didn't know Park City was more then ski resorts. The trip up the canyon was beautiful. The leaves were changing colors and the sky was soo blue. I'm not much of a shopper, but with great company it was very pleasurable. We stopped at Granny's for shakes, and I got a cheeseburger! We all picked out the same color of shirts at one of the stores (they didn't have the sizes we needed with the other colors, and they were way on sale!) so we can all be twinners! I got a new pair of jeans which I think are now my favorite (I had to replace one of my other pairs as the zipper broke- at work which is awkward!).





This week has gone by very fast. I had an adoption which closed 4 cases, and now I've got a new case. But its great to be doing stuff. I don't have any specific plans for this weekend, but I do need to make sure I go to bed on time as I got back into bad habbits!

I have a new toy! We are happy to welcome the food dyhydrator to the family of random kitchen appliances! I dyhydrated probably a whole a bushel of home grown tomatoes which I eat like crackers. I've heard tomatoes are good for you so I should be extreemly healthy now. I think the apples were the biggest hit as they were all gone sooo fast. I got the apples from a coworker and used my other favorite appliance, apple peeler-coorer-slicer (neck and neck with the noodle maker) and it was super fast, super easy. I'll have to get some more so we can have more healthy snacks. I also did pineapple which is tasty, and carrots (from my garden) which aren't.


In other news, I started excersizing a little every night. Hopefully by writing this down I don't jinks myself. I'm just doing situps, pushups, etc but I figure its a start. Wish me luck!
