Pictures of family and friends at Ben and Andi's Wedding.

Ben and Andi's Wedding luncheon

So today my nephew Ben Isaac got married. They got married this morning in the Salt Lake Temple then just the adults got to go to a lunch at the Spaghetti Factory. Here are pictures from that.

New Job

So I got a new job today. I am starting on Monday so I will probably not have as much time for Blogging. I will be working for Interwest Brokerage Company doing the same things I did at my last job.

Hunter's Birthday Party

Annie finally decided the right thing to do was share her photo's, not be stingy and not let her sister use her pictures without her permission or for a small fee. So here are the pictures she graciously sent me with her permission to post on my blog. Thanks Annie!

Lia's Easy Pumpkin Cookies Recipe

So every fall I crave pumpkin cookies! I love homemade but even store bought cookies will do. So I went to lunch with my friend Lia who is really into eating healthy. She gave me this recipe, her and her daughter Kowhai make them. I tried it out and they were really good and so easy, which I love.

Testers: Kelle, Aubrey and Ethan's Friend David all tried them and gave them a thumbs up.

1 spice cake mix
1 15 oz can of pumpkin
Mix until blended well then add:

1 bag milk choc. chips (if you want you can add half bag, the whole bag was very chocolatey but I liked it)

Cook at 350 for 12 minutes


Delicious...

PS Note to my mom if you are reading this. These were not quite as good or as healthy as your wonderful whole wheat pumpkin cookies but just easier!

Scott came home early.

Scott got a deer so he came home early, here is a picture of him and the deer. He is getting it mounted so he can put it in the basement I told him he can finish downstairs and hang as many animals as he wants. Don't be jealous girls.....

Deer Hunter Widow

Scott is gone hunting in Wyoming for a week, anybody bored? Give me a call we can hang out!

Easily Bored

Hello, I don't know if you noticed but I get easily bored with the background on my blog. I think I have changed it at least 15 times. Is anybody else like this? I am like this with my bedspread on my bed too, I have to change it quite often, it makes me happy, is that bad? What is wrong with me....


I wish I could change my furniture around in my house more often, but it just so happens that they way my house is set up, that is hard... So I will continue to change the background on my blog to mix thing up. :-)

In memory of Garret Phillips 9/4/08

I did want to mention that my sister's family in Las Vegas just lost a family friend his name is Garret Phillips and he was only 20 years old. He was one of my niece Chloe's best friend, I will be keeping his family and friends in my heart and prayers! Talking to my sister Diane made me realize how much I love my family and how short life really is. Make sure you let you family know how much you love them, you never know when it might be the last time you see them. Life is short and precious, live like there is no tomorrow.

I love you Chloe! I am thinking about you....

Update on my chin

I am sure nobody cares... but in case you were wondering my chin is not looking any better today! The large nodule has shrunk, however, in it's place are two large scabs that don't cover well with make up.

The upside, I got a root canal so my whole mouth is numb including the chin portion, so no pain!

From Lindsay's Blog

Excerpt from my friend Lindsay H. Blog

This was really funny, this was her way of making me feel better! I loved it, if you know this girl you would find this hard to believe because she truly is so graceful all the time!

"Grace

Mary had a bit of a run in with the side walk this past week and was looking for some consolation that there are other clutzes in the world. Myself being one of them. One of Clay's nicknames for me is "Grace." So here's my most recent "moment."

I fell down the stairs in my house last Sunday wearing heels. Apparently I need more practice. And it was the WORST fall ever! Seriously detrimental to my pride. My heel caught on the top stair in the carpet which flung me forward. So I throw my arm out for the railing smacking my hand hard and then tried to recover from that by swinging my other arm around to catch the railing, fell to my knees, and slid a bit down the stairs as my skirt flew up. All the while making some ridiculous noise, part scream/part moan/part crying out in pain/part laughing. UGLY! All in a dress in front of my husband who did an awesome job of not laughing and giving his dutiful, "Are you alright?" before totally busting up."

Lia for you....

Here is my lovely chin, this is after trying to cover it with make up!

Not so cute aye!

Embarrased.....

Hi Everybody,
I needs some help from my friends and family.

I am feeling really embarrassed and in a lot of pain right now! I walked Aubrey to school, then once I dropped her off went for a little run, after my run had a nice little walk, feeling pretty good about myself. Then Kelle sent me a text, when I was texting her back I didn't notice a level change in the sidewalk, I was holding on to my cell phone and Kelle's ipod and I think in an effort to protect those two things, I let my jaw hit the sidewalk first. So now my Jaw is swollen only on one side with a raspberry on the lumped up side. Then my hands and knees are also scraped up... I am feeling really embarrassed and in a lot of pain to be quite honest! But mostly my pride is a little wounded! Anybody that would like to make me feel better about any clutzy things you have done recently would be really appreciated! Love Mar

Sleep over at Annie's

So my cute sister Annie had Aubrey over for a sleepover and she took these pictures of Aubrey, Sarah and Allie together. They look a tiny bit cold in that middle one.
She is a little sensitive about me stealing her pictures, something about copyright or something....

Me Wakeboarding

I forgot to mention, I now can wake board, you are wondering where is the movie? Please, please we want movie!!!! At least Annie is thinking that, she is always hounding me like that. But anyways, I didn't want to make Scott look bad. It is just the way I am, always thinking about others, you can see he is a tiny bit uncoordinated, things come hard for him and I didn't want him to look bad!

Maybe when he looks a little less cluzty on camera, I will post my shots! Thanks Lia and Annie for making him feel a little better.....
