Chickadees

We finished the basement!  It is so nice.  We are really spending a lot of time down there as a family.  We especially enjoyed watching the Utes defeat Pittsburgh on Thursday.  It was an exciting OT game and we enjoyed every big screen moment!

Emily and Mary are home this weekend!  All the little chickadees are back in the nest.  (insert great big happy face here.)  Chris had seven friends over on Saturday with their swords and shields.  I took them to the park and they played capture the flag and had wars and such for a couple of hours followed by brownies at our house.  I think every boy had a great time.

Life is good.

John and I watched that game from our bed, with the ocean breeze coming through our window, our week in NC. I don't know if you know but John graduated from PITT. He was for Utah and I for PITT until OT. You needed both sides represented.

Catching Up 2013

Panning to the right. Continuing to the right. The sewing machine right next to the door.  The ironing board stored.   Super comfy fainting couch.  Perfect for napping while I watch TV. The corner behind the door. One Sunday, while listening to the talks in Sacrament Meeting, I heard this great quote from Plato regarding self-control.  The talk was about fasting.  It was a really good talk.  So, I asked, Sister Gina McQueen for a copy of the quote and cut it out in vinyl and hung it on the ceiling going down the stairs.  Chris sa

Pumpkin pie

We got one pumpkin out of our garden this summer.  It was smallish.  I cut the corn stalks and tied them together and put them on the front porch with the little pumpkin next to them foe decoration for October.  November 1st I threw out the cornstalks and moved the pumpkin to the other side of the door, and I thought, "I wonder what it takes to make pumpkin pie from a real pumpkin."  So, thanks to google, I found a  Website , and, voila!  Mike and I made two of the most delicious pumpkin pies in the history of our pumpkin pies!  No time to take a photo, one is history, the other is in the freezer!
