I LOVE Having Him Around!

Over Thanksgiving weekend I got maybe a little to used to Peter being around.  I don't know about the rest of you but due to our scheduals we get to see each other for a handful of hours during the week, even our weekend is spent apart!  But last weekend was amazing. It started out with a walk to the duck pond to feed the ducks, they were very thankful for the snack!

Then we had dinner with family and friends, thanks to everyone for the help and for not commenting on the fact that everything that I made was a little "off."  

Dinner was followed with a nap and a great drive to Heber to let our bellies rest.  This is Peter and Lachelle at the gas station in Heber. I think diet coke from other cities tastes much better than Provo diet coke.  After the Drive we actually convinced Peter and Manasseh to go see Twilight, this was round two for Lachelle and I. I can't get enough vampire in my life. ps. they both thought it wasn't as bad as they thought it would be.

Then on black Friday Peter and I went up to Salt Lake just the two of us to do some Christmas shopping and see the temple lights.  

Needless to say it was a great two days, 

Thanks babycakes!

We are so happy for you Summer!

I am super excited to let everyone know that Summer had her baby, Lilee!

This is her, isn't she adorable, I haven't seen her in person but I hear she is a cutie pie and from the pictures I agree.  

Summer I can't wait to see baby Lilee and you! I am very happy for you and your family

I think she is beautiful!

Ps thanks for letting me barrow the pictures.

Halloween Fun with our New Camera

We are part of the activities committee for our ward.  We had a pinata, pumpkin carving, bobbing for apples, cookie decorating.  Come to find out the only reason people come to war activities is so they don't have to cook dinner.  All we did was eat candy and chilli, we didn't even break open the pinata. 

So we played with my new camera....

Notice how my shirt color changed very fun!

Peter and I enjoying the five alarm chilli I made for the cook off.

This one is kinda just creepy, look at Lachelle's eyes.

Food poison?

So yesterday for lunch we went to Dew, this new sandwich place in provo that we love.  But I don't love it anymore.  20 minutes after I got back to work from lunch my tummy started to hurt.  "Oh i'm just digesting weird."  That was not the case I pukied my guts out for a couple hours and by the time Peter got home around 11pm, I was feeling tons better.  It's sad but I will never have another Dew sandwich.

Ps- Although I am still grossed out by my BBQ pork sandwich, it probably wasn't the pork that made me sick.  It was probably one of the veggies in the sandwich. You usually get food poison from lettuce or other veggies.  Thanks Lachelle for the info.

WINTER...so soon?

That right folks, snow!  Looking at the weather forecast for this week I was filled with sorrow when I saw that Saturday brings snow.  I know to all you Arizona friends this may seem like a joke, but I am not that funny.    

I think pictures of real snow flakes are amazing, how do they do it?

The Best Dinner Ever!!!

I am not sure I have told you all about "Bowman Meals" but they are something to be desired. We have enjoyed Bowman meals at his house many times. But he is now one of the chefs at Spark, a new fine dining restaurant right in Provo.  To get nice food around here you used to have to go to Sundance or Salt Lake, that is no longer the case.  Peter and I went with Lachelle and Manasseh, and completely splurged, getting tons more food than we needed.  Still without my camera I am using others pictures, which do the food no justice.  

These are just my drink and desert that I got, a mango mohito (i think) and fried pudding with orange corriander sorbet.  But we also got salmon, scallops, short ribs (which might have been my favorite), shrimp (my first taste ever), and tons more food.  Oh yeah and at the end Bowman brought out a smoked hot chocolate with essence of cayenne.  Sounds really weird but it was amazing and made me want to go camping.  Well I am sure that I will get you better pictures soon, Peter is planning a once a month night out to Spark.

Still no pictures, but big accomplishments!

First of all I would like to tell you all, and mostly shelly, that I have finished the Fountianhead.  A great accomplishment in my eyes, cause I am still learning to read.  It was a good book, I think it would have been better if I was a fast reader.  But I am not a fast reader so it kinda just dragged on and ayn rand is very wordy.  anyway read it.  

Next story, i was the first person to let Ty-bone Ford cut their hair.  He did a great job.......minus the bangs.  We didnt have quite the dilemma shanna and stacie had when shanna cut bangs for the first time.  Mine are still very long and can fit behind my ears, we cut them together so that they blend in a lot better.  But seriously he did a really good job, my hair is about 2 inches shorter and feels a lot better then it did, but I will never cut bangs again.  Its not me.
