4th Annual Jazz Birthday Bash

To celebrate his birthday Paul started a tradition 4 years ago by inviting his close buddies from high school to a Utah Jazz Game. (It started because we would buy a car from Larry H Miller and get 10 free Jazz tickets.) In 2004 we went to Z-Tejas for dinner and then went to the game. In 2005 Paul gave his tickets to his friends and stayed home because he was still laid up from his accident. But he was thrilled to carry on the tradition. Then in 2006 we decided to celebrate both Paul (Dec 10th) and Corey Bruse's (Nov 30th) birthday at the same time-so the party grew a bit. We now get the top boxes at the Jazz game and they cater with dinner and all-its a blast!!!

Logan's 2!!!

November 25th was Logan's 2nd Birthday and all he wanted was Disney's Cars. So we got him a Cars cake and he literally drove the car off. Grandma Cher Cher got Logan the Cars comforter set and he jumped up and down shouting "Cars, Cars." My mom got him some cute clothes that are in the top picture of the blog.

Thankgiving at the Dunes

We had a great time this Thanksgiving!!! We headed southwest and went to the sand dunes-Logan and I's first time ever. We have a membership to Toyshare so were took some dune machines and a motorhome for the big adventure. It was a bit cold so I was thrilled for the heater and plumbing and Logan was thrilled to have his DVD player:). I had to layer and layer Logan and his largest jacket I could find was his Halloween costume so YUP he was a zebra out on the dunes w/goggles and all. Logan absolutely loves 4 wheelers but Grandpa brought a Rino which is like a zupped up golf cart-I strapped his carseat in and off we went.

For our Thanksgiving dinner Grandpa Dave deep fried the turkey and it was good!!! We all brought dinner items and had a full blown dinner. Good Times.

Bella has been casted!!!

So I am one of those crazed fans of the Twilight Series. Paul and I went to the District the other night and saw Dan in Real Life (it was great) and I passed by a poster that was titled something Bella and I only thought SWEET. I knew they were making a movie I just didn't know how quick. Supposivly they have not casted Edward (can't wait to see who they choose) but they did cast Kristen Stewart as Bella. They said they'll start filming in Feb-can't wait.

Carmel Apples...Yummy

I'm Enrichment Leader for our Ward and I love it!!! We just had our November Enrichment and we had a Nordstrom personal shopper come and she gave us lessons on how to dress for our body type and she also gave advice on upcoming fashions. It was a nice Enrichment because the speaker took up most of the time so I focused my efforts on refreshments...thats were the carmel apples come into play. I tried a few recipes but all the carmel wanted to come off so I revamped my plan and unwrapped over 300 carmels. My friend Susie and I stayed up pretty late and dipped the apples into the carmel. The next day we dipped them into chocolate and then into different toppings-oreo, toffee, peanuts and reeses peanutbuttercups (we did about 45 of them).

Paul was in charge of watching Logan that night so he ordered Logan's most favorite thing CHEESE PIZZA. Before I left I had to get a picture of Logan 2 handing it!!!
