More Food







Also this week I made Fish Tacos, and Sunday Crock Pot Roast which I used 2 new recipes. They both tasted very good and the kids liked both dishes which is always a good thing. Sorry no pictures. I had to put it on the table and the kids and everyone eats it before I can take a picture. Or the fish pictures might be on another sd card. But defintley no pictures of the Roast but it sure made the house smell so yummy.

Service


I made this for my family. So they could know rules. It took about 2 hours to make but I am very happy with the result. The service I have done this year. I hate to brag but I have been working on this goal. I have been changing the kids bed every monday and putting fresh sheets on thier beds. On wednesday I have been helping in Drew's class and in Jacob's class. I have learned more about the teacher and who are in thier classess. Since Grandma has had her stroke I have been helping her out talking and actually moving her. Also tomorrow I am going to help out the middle school with field day. I helped stuff bag for the business expo which was a lot of work. But I just love The Jolley family so much they have been so kind to my family. I have been trying to work on my service everday. Some things not so big and others a little bit bigger. I hate to brag and I really don't want to tell everyone what I have been up to. Alot of the times I think service should be very quiet. So go do some service as Mom would say.

Kellie Bridal Shower




I am counting this part of having Girl Night out. Because it was a lot of work. But it turned out great. I just hate how I stress about an event before and even after it happens. There was plenty of people which was good. I am glad that we could make it fun for Kellie.

2 Winning Pies.

This is Yougart Pie. It is supper Dupper Easy
This is Peanutbutter Pie. A little bit harder. The chocolate on top> I could not get it to go smooth. I sent the rest of this Pie to go home with the Riddles I am not the biggest fan of that much peanutbutter.

This week I made 2 pies for our Ward Party. I entered them both in the contest. And they both won on apperance. So I won a Big Butterfinger.

Read Books

Just finished this great book. I truly recommend this book. I loved it. It is was simple and short and right to the point. The author did a great job describing the places. It was fun because I knew exactly what he was talking about since it it based in Virginia. I love when you can not a put a book down. I can't wait for book club to discuss this book. It will be a very good coversation.

Visting Teaching for the Month of May

My partner taught the lesson. I just grabbed this flyer form A Little Tipsy. She does such great work. We are so lucky that we have the May Ensign to read. So go out and do some visiting teaching.

Fired Up Mac and Cheese


While I was up at Women's Conference the Food Nanny was there. I have seen her a few times on KBYU and lot this looks like a great idea. The meal is centered around theme nights. For instance this dinner is from Comfort food night. The kids liked it but I thought they would like it more. Also I think it would have tasted better with out the bread crumbs on top. More cheese. But it was good and people ate.

Writting Grandma history

I did not think that I would work on this goal ever or at all. I had very mixed emotion and thought why would I need to do this and it brothered me quite a bit. I have had very mixed emotions with her since I have lived here and since I have gotten older. Which I know that she is older and things will work out.
On May 5th she had a pretty bad stroke that about wiped her out all of my cousins from up North came and she asked for the Bishop, Doctor and John. It was very emotional and a very hard day. I thought she would not make it over night. But she woke up the next morning and said it was a miracle. So now she is in Kolob which is a good place. And I thought what a good try while I am sitting there is to lean about her and write down her history. She has been given journals and questions. But she is a perfectionist and with her hand not been really ready to write and it takes her a long time to write.
So I have started to ask her questions and I type them up and then she answers and I read back of what she is saying. I hope that I will be able to ask her all the questions that I would like to know. So far I have 4 pages so I am very excited to do this project because I will learn so much about her.

We had a great time going to Teaxas Roadhouse. Mom and Sarah have been before but this was my first time. The food was so yummy. The early bird special was a great price. The waiter was good and the wait was good because we called ahead of time.

The Diary of a Wimpy Kid


Jacob and I read the The Diary of a Wimpy Kid together. I was glad that he wanted

to read this book. We had a good time. We started reading the day before the movie came out. The book is differerent from the movie. I was glad that we could read it together. I do not think I will read another. Unless Jacob asked me. They are very much a child book and humor. Which naturally Drew and Jacob loves this book.
