Today I started making craft items for Sammie's baby shower. I'm going to go to Salt Lake on Thursday and help plan it. It will be fun!

Have to work again tomorrow, yuck! You would think that since I work from home it would be no big deal, but some days I just want to sit around and have nothing to do but relax.

Christmas 2009

I had a really good Christmas this year. Was able to go to both Mikelle's and Jadeyn's Christmas programs. On Christmas Eve we had chili and scones at mom's.

My dogs loved getting their Christmas treats and went crazy trying to get their stocking.


On Christmas day Jeramy & Mel brought down Jackson and Fiona. It was great to see those two kids again.






In the evening Art's kids came over. Aaron, Amanda, & Amanda's husband Stephen. We opened gifts, played the Wii, and ate snacks. It was a great time!

Today I went to Lehi and saw Jadeyn's school program. She was just darling. Afterward I went to lunch with Stacie, her two girls, & Bev (Stacie's Grandma). It was really nice sitting and chatting with everyone. Bev filled me in that Ashley's girls were able to participate in a special Christmas event where they got to meet Disney Princesses and receive Christmas gifts. I'm so happy that they were able to have something fun like that and hopefully it took their minds of the loss of their mother for just a while.

I just finished making Caramel popcorn and I'm going to make some more Chewy chocolate chip brownies.

Tomorrow I'm going up to Grandmother's house and hopefully will be going over to the Hill's to drop of some Christmas goodies.

Here is a picture of the Sectional I just bought. The picture shows it lighter than the actual color. Can't wait to get it!

Busy times

This week has been a busy week for me. Tuesday I got my hair done I finished up my Christmas cards.

Thursday I went out to lunch with Sammie and we also went to RC Willey and picked out some new furniture. Then I went to Dinny's retirement party.

Friday I addressed all my envelopes and sent out the cards that I had enough stamps for. Made the following goodies: Chewy Coconut & Chocolate Chip bars,Rocky Road, Peanut-butter Balls. Went to the bank and purchased the bonds for Grandmother, and then went to club. When I got home I ordered some slippers for Missy's husband Dave. She didn't want him to know what he was getting, so that's why I ordered them for her. Of course two things happened during that time. first I forgot to move a plate of my goodies from being to close to the edge of the counter and my girls got them off the counter and ate seven out of nine. Second, I'm so used to buying online and sending things to my address, that when I ordered Dave's slippers I sent them to my address, which of course isn't good, because they are for Christmas. I couldn't cancel the order, so I had to order again and send them to Missy's house. Needless to say I have an extra pair of Bulldog slippers.

Saturday I got up early showered fed the dogs and put in 40 min on treadmill and about 20 on WII fit. Went to the post office shipped Missy's stuff she left here to her, and bought more stamps and finished sending out cards. Then I picked up Mom and Raelynn. We went over to Orem to JoAnn's to see if they had a Bias maker thing that Mom wanted, they did and I even worked with the manger to get her more than half off on it. We then went to RC Willey and I showed them the furniture I wanted. They thought it was a good choice too, so I took the plunge and bought it. The furniture will be delivered on Wednesday December 16th - My Birthday, so Happy Birthday to me! Once I got home I made some goodies, which include Double Delicious Cookie Bars, Chocolate Chex Caramel Crunch, & regular Chex mix.


Today so far I've just been messing on computer, spent about 20 min with WII fit(lost 1.8 lbs) and made White Chocolate covered pretzels, . I still would like to make Pecan Caramels, Divinity, & Caramel Popcorn. Need to grab a bite of lunch and then get on treadmill

Here is are some pictures of everything.
