Date day and night!

Dustun and I had a date we went to see the movie Bolt on Nov. 28, it was so cute we were able to see it in 3-d at the mega-plex.
Later that night, we had a fun double date, we went with this very fun, and funny couple my mom and dad. We all bundled up and headed down for the opening of the Christmas lights at temple square, I love going to look at the lights it is so beautiful, we were also able to take a horse drawn carriage ride around.
I wish we were are able to see and do more but, with dad needing to work so late and the lights turning off at 10:00 we didn't get to stay very late, but it was worth the trip and a very fun double date!

Thanksgiving

This years Thanksgiving was so much better then last years, for one Dustun was with me, we were with all of our family's, and Doug is better this year then last year.
We were lucky enough to have two thanksgivings, we had the first one at my aunt Susie's house, then we went to mom and dad for our second dinner!
Of course we ate turkey, ham, potatoes, sweet potatoes, stuffing, cheese ball, veggies, and many other munchies.

This year I am thankful fro many things, I am thankful for Dustun, Abigail, and all of my family. I love everyone so much, and I am so happy to have been able to spend this day with you.

vacation on vacation

I wanted to surprise Dustun with a little romantic getaway from our vacation, so I asked mom if she had enough credits for a night stay at the Bear lake condos. So we got it all booked and set up, I got all the food ready and made him a cute invitation to join me! So on the morning of November 25th, I handed him the envelope with the invitation. We got ready and off we went.
We stopped and La Beaus to eat the best burgers and fries ever, we checked into the condo and once we were inside we opened all the doors and cupboards and turned on the fireplace and furnace, we even did a load of laundry just cause we could!
For dinner we made steak out on the grill and we had potatoes and sprinkling cider. The food was so good! The next morning I woke up ans started making breakfast, I made bacon and eggs and toast and of course more cider.
Once we checked out, we took the long way home, as were driving I saw two moose I made dustun flip around so I could get a picture. They were so close to us and they were big and beautiful.
It was a much needed time away for just us. Thanks mom for letting us use some credits!

Grandma is 83!

My beautiful, sweet, grandma Bartschi turned 83 years young on November 22 2008.
I am so happy to have all my grandparents around, and I was so happy to be able to celebrate her birthday with her this year. All her daughters and a few of the grand and great-grandkids were able to come to olive garden to eat and laugh and wish her a happy birthday.

Twilight movie night!

On November 22, Amanda, Julie and I, all went to see the movie twilight. I was so excited to see it with my friend and sister, we went to the mega-plex in Ogden so our seats were all ready bought and reserved, so no need to get there super early.
Before we went to the movie, all of us, the boys and kids and us, went to the pizza factory to eat some pizza, and the biggest bread sticks ever! It was so nice to get together with some friends of ours from Texas, I wish I had more time to hang out and do more things with my friends, but like I said this trip just like they always do turn into a whirl winds, and before you know it your back home and saying wow what just happened?!

So the movie was good, I have seen it twice now, I went with Amanda and mom an another night. I enjoyed the movie, but I enjoyed watching all the different type of people coming to see the movie you saw tweens, and really old lady's like 80 years old, and some lady's just got out of the movie and were back for the second time in row. I am excited to see the second one, maybe I'll be back home again to watch it with my friends and family again!

Spudnut and bowling day!

On November 18th, we (mom and I) decided we would make spudnuts, I have only had them once, and neither one of us have ever made them before. So we got Grandma Price's recipe and went to work (key word work) we started at 11 am and was about done by 7:30 pm. My grandma was a lunch lady so the recipe she had she cut it in half, so our recipes only made 200 spudnuts! It takes so long because you have to mix, then rise, then punch down then rise until it has doubled in size them you roll it out and cut the spudnut out, then you wait fort them to double in size then you fry then up and then ice them. Mom and I did the mixing and raising and dustun and I did the frying and icing. It was so much fun but I will never do them by myself!

A Spudnut is a potato flour donut, a folk recipe that traces back to Germany.The term spudnut, referring to the potato in the donut recipe ("spud" nuts). Originally made with mashed potatoes.


This day Dustun, Travis and I all went to the bowling alley, this has been a fun tradition that we have always done since we moved and come back to visit. I was afraid of pulling a muscle throwing the ball, so I asked for the kiddy ramp, so all I did was put the ball on top of the slide and push it down gravity did the rest of the work for me.
