fOOd NetWorK - HOlloMon StYLe

I'm on a diet - so naturally the $250 Neiman Marcus cookie recipe got the better of me. They are so good! Aidan was my lovely assistant, of course. I would scoop and Aidan would dump it into the bowl. The mixer scares him a little so he wouldn't let me turn it up above the first level.

Till we meet again...

When I was working at the funeral home I had the opportunity to meet the Prophet when a member of the Seventy passed away. I had stayed late to finish up a few things and me and the Janitor were the only ones left. The viewing was that night and we weren't expecting anyone for a few hours. Suddenly the janitor came running into my office saying "he's here! The Prophet is here!" My whole body started to shake! I was so nervous! What would I say? What would I do? Will he know my secrets? It was silly - but seriously - what do you say? He walked (briskly, I might add - I think the cane was a gimmick! lol) and on his way out he stopped to shake our hands and say hello. Though their were only the 3 of us in that room, I can honestly tell you that I have never felt so crowded as I did then. I can still feel and "see" the many spirits/angels that follow him. It was amazing. I knew at that moment that I never really had a testimony othat he was the true Prophet of the church until that moment. Nothing will ever compare to that day.

My dining room!

I got my dining room done!! I havn't put up the curtains yet, but you get the idea. It really isn't as pink as it looks. Its darker. I think I like it - it will just take some getting used to.

Brothers

I love seeing these two boys together!! They are so happy and you can tell they really love each other!

Sorry - I'm just so proud of my bathroom! I'm scared of color so I was kind of freaking out a little while I was painting. But I absolutely love it!!!

Christmas Time!

We spent Christmas in Salt Lake this year. We stayed the night at my moms. Me and Jeff went to a Christmas Eve party at his friend Mark's home. We watched football and ate food. Jeff was able to see his old friends from Enterprise which I know he enjoyed! On our way home we got the sad news from my mom that Aidan was throwing up. He was sick all night. It was so sad!

This was the first year that Aidan knew and understood what Santa does, which made it even more fun for me! We couldn't keep any of the presents under the tree because Aidan would find a way to try to open them. Clever little child. So I got to put everything out on Christmas Eve which was a blast! I woke up at 5am and could hardly wait. I was so excited for Aidan. I went in and woke up Aidan at 8 (since he was sick I wanted to let him sleep a little). He didn't want to wake up but I told him Santa had come so he came unwillingly with me to the front room. His face just lit up when he saw everything! He got Thomas the Train railroad tracks, clothes, books, a barn...it was insane. After about 4 presents he decided he had enough and just started playing. We couldn't pay him to open anymore, so we opened them for him! I got a bunch of movies, some clothes and some other fabulous things. Jeff got a lot of tools and a bunch of other things. We had so much fun! We videotaped Christmas morning, but sadly didn't get many pictures since Aidan wasn't feeling good and didn't want to open anything. I got a few though.

The 3rd picture is the day after Christmas. Aidan was still really sick, Harry was out and Christmas presents strewn about the house!
