O Christmas Tree! 12-1-12

This is our tree!  Didn't it turn out great?!  Chelsi came home this weekend and she helped me decorate it.

This is a tradition we have had for a lot of years.  We turn on the Christmas Music, make some hot chocolate and decorate the tree.  I am so glad that she was here to help me.!  We had a great time!

Our Christmas Tree 11-24-12

We decided to go to the woods and pick out a real tree for Christmas this year.  We borrowed a 4-wheeler and off we went.  It was fun to be out in the snow. 

We finally found this beauty, it was pretty tall.  That is the top that we cut off. 

This is how we hauled it back to the pickup.  This was a fun day,  it has been alot of years since we have done this.  I found out that Chelsi will be home next weekend and she said she would help me decorate it when she gets here.

A different kind of Thanksgiving 11-22-12

Well, we had a very different kind of Thanksgiving this year.  When we found out that Chelsi was going to be alone on  Thanksgiving, we decided that we would go to Utah and spend it with her.  We came up with a good plan that since there was going to be only 3 of us, we would go out to eat instead of doing all the preparing and clean up. 

So here we are, at Golden Corral.  We had to practice our patience while waiting in line.  The food was pretty good, except for the potatoes.  They were not real.  Whoever thought that you could have cotton candy for Thanksgiving?

We went down to the Gateway and saw the water show that was choreographed with music. Can you see the water dancing in the background?  We also got to see the new James Bond movie, "Skyfall".  It was really good.  By the way, Chelsi is now a red head.  She looks pretty good that way.

The Twilight Movie 11-19-12

It is the end of an era.  The Twilight Saga has ended.  Some friends and I went to the final movie and were not disappointed.  I actually had not seen Part 1 so this afternoon my friend Gailiene Rudd came over at 5pm and we watched it so I was ready for tonight at 8:20pm. 

Cari Zollinger and Sherry Archibald met me there and two other friends of theirs.  It was fun to watch with die hard Twilight fans.  By the way, I am on Team Edward. 

Annual Friend Trip 11-10-12

This is our annual Football / Shopping Trip.  Usually there are five couples that go, only three couples were able to make it this year.  There were a few changes this year.  Because of the snow and cold the guys decided to go to a Jazz Game instead of a BYU Football game.  Us ladies had a fabulous shopping day.  We started out at Tai Pan.  There is always something great to be found there.

For lunch we went to Archibald's Restaurant at Gardner Village.  This is such a favorite place to shop, eat and hang out.  We had to stop at TJ Max also.  For dinner we met the guys at a Mexican Restaurant at the Gateway.  When they left for the game...

We hopped aboard the TRAX and went to The Melting Pot for some delicious fondue.

Just mouthwatering isn't it.  This was a chocolate peanut butter fondue.  It was divine.  Then we walked to City Creek (while it was snowing) to check it out..  Then we rode the TRAX back to the Gateway to get our car.  We just didn't have enough hours in this day to do everything we would have liked to do.  We did have a great time!

It's My Birthday! 11-7-12

It's my birthday!  It is nice when the birthday stretches over several days. 

Clinton is always so thoughtful.  He gave me a chocolate birthday and a shopping spree!  What could be better than that?!

Tyson and Courtnie  and their family were here.  They cooked me my birthday dinner on Sunday.  While they were here, Kaden, Kimmie, Emma and I went to visit Great-Grandma Barrett

Friday, November 9, we went to Salt Lake City and stayed with Brock and his family.  Carrie made me a chocolate birthday cake with candles.  Payton and I are getting ready to blow them out.  Chelsi even came from Provo to help celebrate.  My family is so awesome!  They really know how to make me feel special

The Company Party 11-5-12

Agritech had the company party Monday, November 5th at the Kershaw School in Sugar City.

Clinton  was the cook of the milk can supper.  He is becoming a professional at this.

The food was delicious.  The funny thing about serving the food is, it is slopped into a trough to eat.  The cabbage is my favorite!

The wife of one of the employees brought her face paint.  Emma thought she was beautiful.

Kaden had to be a green batman. 

This jumping house was a hit for all the kids.  This was a great party!
