Holy War even in Cali

We have some wonderful neighbors that moved into our neighborhood earlier this year. Because of my l

ack of wardrobe Viril quickly saw that I was a Zoobie. He stopped me and said I don't know if we can be friends and I quickly asked why- he promptly explained that he played for the U back in the 80's. This started a friendly banter that last weekend turned into much fun and laughter. You can still have a holy war even in Cali. Ty still goes around the house yelling B-Y-U.... Go mighty cougars. It's adorable

oh yes and BYU won!

Happy Thanksgiving

We have a lot to be thankful for but for today I am most thankful for my family- all 101 of you!

Thanks Mom for the fun hats!

Happy Birthday Brian BIG 3-0

So since I've been 30 for a whole 6 weeks now I knew what Brian was in for.... nothing new. He got to teach his Sunday school class, be set apart, his PPI, and tithing settlement all on his Big day- wasn't he lucky. Now if you ask he'll tell you that he HAD to make his own dinner but the truth it that he wanted to make it. I at least put my foot down and said no you may not make your own cake... although I made him open his presents before he made dinner so that he could have special tools to work with. Being that Brian is getting up there in age, and doesn't have much lung capacity Ty took it upon himself to help blow out the candles and open the presents- isn't he such a thoughtful son. HA HA HAPPY Birthday Babe! We love you

I love a good deal

Two 22 pounds turkeys, 2 boxes of cheez-its, 3 boxes of pop-corn, 2 bags chocolate chips, 64 oz of OJ, 8 5pd bags of flour, 2 5 pd bags of sugar, carton of ice- cream, children's tylenol, bacon, eggs, 5 candy bars, english muffins, and red potatoes- Plus $5 off next purchase, and a $10 Khol's cash certificate. All for a grand total of $54 dollars- thanks to sales, promotions, and coupons.

Doesn't everyone have days like this

Apple Core, Baltimore, who's your friend...

What do you do with 40 pounds of apple? Buy an apple peeler/corer/ slicer- and make applesauce and apple pie filling...

Pumpkins, pumpkins, pumpkins

We started with 7 of these....

And ended with 6 gallons of this....

and have made lots of goodies.... yum Pumpkin cookies, bread, ravioli, pancakes, and of course PIES!
