We were introduced to the Wii!

On Saturday night Micheal and Raelyn invited us over to play the Wii, and now all I want to do is PLAY IT!!! We had a lot of fun!

Deep concentration!!!!

Micheal has his "game face" ON!

Tennis

And now, prepare to be terrified!...

     It pains me to even admit that we were playing this game, AND enjoying it but these pictures were taken playing a burping game, where you shake up a pop drink it, burp and see how much damage you can do to the city! If the popping veins did not give it away, Spencer won every time.   It was the most unusual thing in the world to watch :)

Gingerbread cookies

  Thursday night Keena, Elin and all the boys came over for dinner and we made gingerbread cookies, they were YUM!

 

 

We also shared our science experiment with the boys, it was messy fun!

This is such a fun thing to play with and SO weird!

Add 1 cup of corn starch with 1/4 cup water, stir and then get a glob with your hands, squeeze it and let go to see it "melt" it is SO neat. If it starts getting hard a a little water.

Prepare to be amazed...

The day is finally here... I am going to be home before the sun is down. Starting in January Me and Aiden are going to have more time at home and more of a "normal" life! I am going to start leaving work at 3:30 everyday, no more 5:30 or 6!!!! This is probably one of the most courageous things I have ever done (weird, huh!?) right now I am going through another divorce, a divorce of my career, but still it feels like a divorce! I am so excited to let it go, but at the same time it is SO hard!

Christmas goodies

 

Last year I went the easier, more expensive route and bought candles for all the neighbors. Spencer thought it was a bit crazy...UNTIL...

3 lbs of powdered sugar

2 lbs peanut butter

1 box rice krispies

2 bags marshmallows

2 lbs butter

1 roll press and seal wrap

3 bags of chocolate chips

1 roll parchment paper

He really does not care WHAT I do next year just as long as it is not treats!! :) HA  

It was fun, and I ate my fair share (which is way too much!)

Oh and Becca there is a special one for you with fruit leathers :) :)

It makes our basement look BAD!

 

           Ta DA!

 

After MANY stained clothes from our washer, two trips from the service men, and much debate, we finally broke down and got a new washer and dryer! However, I never expected it to cost as much as a used car!!!!!!! We Spent over an hour down at Hutch's in Lehi on Main Street (We would highly recommend going, great service!) We learned all about the different makes, models, etc etc... and we ended up with these bad boys. I feel sick every time I think about the price tag but Spencer tells me I need to get over it. Aren't they beautiful!?!?!
