This week

This Week is going to be a special and busy week. Kaylee turns 5 on tuesday the 2nd of September and I'am getting ready for her party on Saturday. It is also Labor Day and the last chance of summer weather. So, enjoy!!! But it won't be that hot because we have a storm that's moving in from the south and it will bring rain and colder weather. Too much for Labor Day camping and such? Yesterday I hosted a Pampered Chef party, and unfortunately only my mom, sister-in-law and mother-in-law showed up. We still had a great time trying out the different products and cooking a delicious pizza and chocolate truffles. Kaylee ate about 3 pieces of the pizza and told me to make this pizza as her Birthday dinner on Tuesday. So it turned out to be a great girl bonding experience. My good friend Jenny L. is a Pampered Chef consultant and she was kind enough to come and demonstrate everything for us. Then later in the day my brother came over with his wife to visit and we took some pictures of their motorcycle. They are so funny. My brother has wanted to have a motorcycle for so long and finally about 3 months ago they got one and he is so happy. We are just wooried that something might happen to them. But we cannot stop him from reaching his dreams. Anyway it was a quiet weekend. Just spending time together with the kids. Today just getting ready for church and getting the lesson ready for nursery. Today we are substituting in Bradens nursery class. I hope it goes well. Have a good Labor Day week.

New Pictures

On Monday evening, we went to little park here in Syracuse to take some family photos. They turned out okay. But here are a couple of the pictures we took. Then we let the kids play at the playground.

No I'am not pregnant. But just wanted to post about my friend Kim, She had her baby this morning at 5:09am via c-section and 3 weeks early. But the baby and her are doing fine. I'am so excited for them. When I talked to her husband Brian he sounded so excited. Congratulations guys on you new baby boy.

Ward Campout 2008

This weekend we went camping with our ward. Our stake has a property in Morgan, UT which is about 45 minutes away from our house. It is really pretty and close enough from our house and faraway enough that if feels like camping. We got there about 5pm on Friday and setup our tent and our things and then had dinner. We later had a devotional by our bishop and went back to our camp to start a fire and to talk to our friends and family (my sister went with her family and so we had a fun time talking and telling jokes). Kaylee wasn't feeling well and she went to bed around 9:30pm. Braden had so much fun he ran around our tent in the dark and loved it, he roasted marshmallows and played with the flashlight a lot. Over all we had a blast with the kids. We slept well and woke up the next morning to eat a dutch oven breakfast provided by our ward and then decided to clean up our stuff to leave early. We headed out around 10:30am and arrived home to shower and do laundry (our clothes and everything else stunk of smoke). And then we went out to lunch with my mom, dad, and my sisters family and then went down to the Gateway.

Something To Do

I started a new hobbie. I like beads and have started to make some bracelets. I have seen some new Bead Watches that alot of ladies are wearing now days and I wanted to make one or buy one. I found some not so expensive but decided to make my own. I went to Ben Franklin Craft store and found a whole selection of beads and other items that are needed. So I bought the things I needed to make a watch. And after so many attemps I finally finished it and love the outcome. I'am thinking of maybe making more and selling them. But it's just an idea I have right now. Hopefully I can do it and have several people that can be interested.

My Mother-in-laws Birthday

Today was my mother-in-law's birthday. She turned 70 yrs old. She doesn't even look that age. she actually looks about 10 yrs younger. We got together and had some dinner and cake. I made the cake it turned out so good. Her favorite kind of cake is carrot cake and it was my first time making it. It turned out so yummy. I love baking and making treats and cakes. We got her a pair of pants and a blouse all fit her perfectly. We had a good time.

Breaking Dawn and twilight the Movie

Just yesterday I finished reading the Breaking Dawn. I have to say that I really liked the book and the way it was written. I think there were areas that were tastefully written and the whole book had me wanting to read more and more. It was hard to stop reading when I had other responsibilities to do, but I'am glad that I finished and now I will start reading the "Host".

For all of you that don't know the news yet, Twilight the movie will be realease 3 weeks early on Nov. 21st. I read this in Stephanie Meyers website. I'am so excited to go see this movie. It seems that the last Harry Potter movie was due to be realeased on that same date but Warner BRos. moved the realeas date for next summer, I don't know the reason why but Summit Films saw a great opportunity to move the realease date sooner on the Twilght movie.
