Christmas 2009

Teresa and Dustin came up for Christmas. That is pretty much all I can remember, (I know, posting things a year and a half later is not good). I am sure we had snow on the ground and that we played lots of fun games. Here are some pictures of our Christmas Tree. It was full of character, that is for sure.

Food Storage

the store room


All those boxes were full of food
Each year my mom goes through our food storage and decides what items we are low on. Then we go to the case lot sales and purchase the things we need. This year we really didn't have much time that we just put everything in the store room without organizing it. Finally in November I had time to start working on it and dating all the food. It took a few days but we were finally able to make the room look nice. :) I always love the satisfaction I get after accomplishing that task and how great it looks! Here are some before and after pictures. More to come.


Oh, how beautiful!

Halloween

Catherine and I practicing makeup styles

For Halloween this year I dressed up as an 80's Punk Rocker with my co-worker Jamie. We had a lot of fun goofing of at work (I mean sitting at our desks, working) and being backup singers to Mindy who was dressed up as Hannah Montana (yes, the 80's mixed with present day). We didn't win the work costume competition but we had a blast!

Straw Maze

The whole maze crew

Nate and Andrew Roach came to visit for Fall Break (only a Utah thing). Teresa, Dustin and Kylee came also. We went to the "Haunted" Straw Maze in Rexburg, Andrew got lost from part of my group. As he was walking he heard us talking and dove through the bales to catch us and he ended up getting stuck. We saw his arms and we thought it was one of the workers trying to scare us until we heard his voice. Nate and I tried pulling him through the bales. Danny and Brittney had found his legs poking out and were trying to help push him out. It was hilarious! We ended up going through the maze twice and also going through the kid maze. That was really hard, let me tell ya. Later that weekend we all went swimming and had fun playing games. It was a really fun weekend.

Pigs/Piglets

Lots and lots of apples

I went with my parents to feed apples to Danny's pigs. The black one is named Batty and the other one is named Spot. I had a lot of fun playing with them. Batty tried eating my shoe and Spot knocked me down. It brought back a lot of fun memories from when I was a kid playing with my own pigs. After feeding Danny's pig we drove to Archer to the Dye's house. Richard Dye has a pig farm. He is who Danny got his pigs from. He had tons of pigs! I was able to hold a cute little one that was only one week old. His mom started squealing for him and he started squealing back. It scared me and so I whipped my head back. My mom happened to catch a picture right at that time. I will post it for you. I decided I wouldn't mind growing some baby pigs again. They are so cute!


This is the baby pig, and the scary picture from the story
