Build-a-Bear

Patti and I were sitting at my house last night trying to figure what we wanted to do that night and what we wanted for dinner. Amy was at a scholar's birthday party. Patti thought it was funny that a student would invite the teacher to a party but she's just that kind of teacher. I said something like "she even got to go to a Build-a-Bear party once. We looked at each other and it was decided. It was also a good excuse to go to dinner at The Spaghetti Factory, yummy!!
Here are pictures of our creations


This is Patti's new elephant, her name is Empadure......I love the outfit, I'd totally wear it.


This is my bear, her name is Pinkie, I know, not very imaginative but you have to name it right there and there wasn't a lot of time. She has pink undertones under her white fur and I happen to love pink so there you go. And yes, she is wearing heals, and cute tiny pink panties, I couldn't resist.

Good Gravy

I was thinking last night that I needed to do something interesting or have something interesting happen to me so I could blog about it......see what I go through for you people......

I was sitting at the darn new stop-lights that they put on the entrances to the freeway waiting patiently for it to turn green when I guess the girl behind me didn't realize I wasn't moving so she just kept going, ouch. My shoulder hurts and I think I jammed my carpel tunnel wrist into the steering wheel because that hurts more than before. The above picture shows the pretty dent she put in my car.

This one shows that my trunk wont close all the way any more. We didn't call the police because this has never happend to me before and I didn't really think about it and we were on the entrance to the freeway and people were staring. I got her info and once I got home I reported the accident to my insurance.

Cards and flowers can be accepted at my place of residence.

On a happier note here is a picture of my bed with the wonderful present Mom and Dad got me, isn't it pretty!?!?

If I wear it (maybe) they will come

When my parents were visiting last week I went up to meet them at my Aunt's house in Murray and she and my Mom were going through a box full of their Mother's old things, this veil was in there and they weren't sure who's it was but I thought it would be funny take a couple pictures in it so here you go......





Here is one where my Mom is living vicariously (sp) through Kelsey's adorable babies....I'm working on it Mom, I promise....


How did we not take any pictures of Dad while he was here?

Happy Birthday to me!!

It was/is my birthday today and it was great. My boss let me go home early from work and we (Amy and my parents and I) had a fun BBQ with Kelsey, Ben, and kids, Lizzie, Catherine, Carrie, & Gabe. It looked like Amy and Kelsey and I'm not sure who else (except I know Catherine made a gorgeous cake) went to a lot of trouble. Everything tasted great and I got lots of great presents. I'm excited to read all the books I got and all the DVD's. I got a really pretty mesh drape/cover thing for my bed, I'll post pictures when I take some. Here's some of the B-Day celebration.

Dang, look at all those candles!!
Charlie loves my presents too!



Alert the firemen, there's a bonfire!

Parental Units

WooHoo, my parents are in town!! They are on a road trip from Washington and will end up in Oregon but have gone to Idaho and Utah in between to visit family and I'm lucky enough to get a stop on the trip. They got here Friday evening after staying with Mom's sister in Murray, UT. I love having them here and we've been shopping running around all day today. We started off at the farmers market and got some Tomatoes and I found a good present for Patti's Birthday there next month. We also tried some Lavender Lemonade, not my favorite but Mom and Dad seemed to like it. Then we ran around to Emergency Essentials and Deseret Book and the Distribution center, all those fun places they don't have in WA.
Amy thought about coming with us but was having trouble getting away from Breaking Dawn (it's a book, if you don't know about it you've probably been living on the moon for the last few months!).
I'll update with pictures tomorrow, I didn't put on make-up today and I don't want you all to have to endure that!
