Branch Christmas Party last night.

They wanted everyone to get the feel of what food would have been like at Jesus' time- so we had rice with raisons in it and flour shells, fruit, and meat.

Interesting. Tom did make his famous BBQ- so all was well.

Here is a picture of my two little buddies- Ashton and Summer. They are being raised by their great grandma and they are always ready to hug Miss Cindy and Shelby. We only had one minor accident spilled rice- and we almost got i t cleaned up before Grandma noticed. In the one picture they are getting me water. Mistletoe showed up with Santa- I kissed a bald man's head---- Don't you wish you lived in Florida in a Branch? : >

This has been a busy week. I started out thinking I would blog on Monday and here it is Friday!!Well, the short and sweet of it is... This week found Dylan at the Orthodontist with his new appliance in.It looks like a garage door- but he has been a trooper about it. It is amazing how an Advil can make it all better.As for me I have had two trips to the hospital for the annual mammogram and come back for an ultrasound visit.Old age is humbling!!Pictures are from Wednesday night Young Women's, and the newest addition to the family-Christmas Moose.Yes, he lights up and his head movies slowly back and forth.It was Matt and I's compromise for Christmas Lights on the house. The final picture is on Dylan's new obsession. Pellet gun.He is quite the shot too! I tried 3 times unsuccessfully to shot the can and finally gave up.

I have decided to write on my blog at least once a week- even if I have nothing to say....

So here it is....

Today at work Jeni and I were getting ready to go to lunch and I was looking at our Christmas decorations that Sonya had put up in the office. There was this stuffed moose. Well, I thought... I wonder what he does..... so I went up to him and pushed this shiny button on his neck.... Next thing I know the moose has fallen to the ground and pulled the fire alarm bell with it. (It was under the moose head). Whew- it didn't go off..... But the alarm had flipped down so, I gently pushed it up and you guessed it- the alarm went off. We had to call the custodians and they had to rush over to shut it off, the the maintenance man had to come to reset the alarm- Embaressing! Yes- at 40 I finally pulled the fire alarm. Always wondered what it would feel like!

Here are some pictures of Matt's last fishing trip

Well, I am officially home from Utah. Everyone survived and the house was spotless- PERFECT!!!! Maybe I should come more often.

5 best things about the trip:

5. Temple Marraige- way to go AMY and MIKE

4. Jason's friend Chris- Shelby and Rachel will have to arm wrestle for him.

3. Family- I loved how everyone pitched in and helped- everything from picking up Dani in Provo to Parking cars- wonderful!

2. Jason- I loved flying with Jason. You inspire me- You ROCK!!!

1. My nieces. I have the best nieces in the world. From babies to teens- I love you all!!!

Hello.

Last weekend we went to Union County for a football game. We ended up in the Haunted Woods. I had Haley on one side and Mikayla on the other and still managed to wet my pants!!!!

I am getting to old for this!
