The weekend...

What a fun and busy weekend! Friday night we went to a Masquerade Ball, on campus. Doug and Kendra joined us because they're just awesome and it also made it easier to get Andy to go. :)

We dressed up and danced some. Thanks Andy for going!!

Saturday we had a ward activity. We went to the ropes course and had a great time! And there were yummy doughnuts too!

It was SO COLD!! Thankfully, the sun came out towards the end!!

Andy getting ready for the challenge...he did pretty good!


Saturday night we were going to have Chili and Cornbread for dinner. We were going to a magic show at 7pm, so I had an hour and a half to do everything. I called Paula to ask about her Chili Recipe (Andrew insisted on having his moms yummy chili), and I found out it takes a few hours to cook the Kidney beans, after you've soaked them overnight. Well I did soak them overnight, but I didn't know you have to cook them longer before you use them in something. :(

Mom, this is for you...the cornbread attempt #1 :)

I obviously forgot something...oh the main ingredient, Bisquick! :(

I got Andy to look at it, and he said there's something wrong with it...so he read over the ingredients out loud, just to see if I forgot anything. I did. I started crying because I used the last of the butter and I borrowed the eggs from our neighbors, and I just really wanted cornbread with the chili. Then he started LAUGHING!! He always laughs, which is good I guess, because I usually start laughing too- laughing and crying, which makes him laugh even harder. Oh the memorable times we have...

We went to the store later that night and got butter and eggs, and we ended up having Chili and Cornbread Sunday night for dinner...

We get to babysit Asher!!

An awesome couple in our ward, David and Emily, just had their baby about 2 weeks ago. His name is Asher Morgan. Emily is still going to school, so we've watched him a couple of times. We absolutely love him! He's so good!!

He sleeps most of the time and even when he's awake he's calm and just looks around. The perfect baby!! :)

SO CUTE!!

Conference Weekend

Conference weekend was great! We went to Utah and stayed with Andrews sisters; Leigh and her family Friday and Saturday, and visited with Jamie and her family Sunday. We had a great time with them!! Thanks!!

It was also my 1st time watching conference in the Conference center! We got tickets for the Saturday morning session, and we sat on the top balcony, about 10 rows back. What a neat experience though. I loved it when President Monson walked in. It was completely silent and everyone stood. Right then I knew even more that he is a true Prophet of God.

How grateful I am to be a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, and to know that our family will be together forever. I am also grateful to have such an amazing husband who honors the Priesthood and who makes me so happy. I love my life!!

Being bored=getting creative

Dry erase markers become handy sometimes...

Yeah, we have fun together...

The Last of the Garden

Our 1st time having our own garden was very successful. We got tons of huge tomatoes, and the broccoli and cucumber surprisingly grew. Yumm!!
