FHE Idea

We went to the Ogden Raptor's Game a few weeks ago! America First Credit Union (that's where Jake works) gave us free tickets. We had lots of fun! But that is not the FHE idea... scroll down.

When we got to the entry gate and showed our tickets, the ticket ladies handed us these cute little "Carmel Cob's" It's just carmel corn shaped to look like corn on the cob. So, here comes the FHE idea..
If you have little ones, cut out some paper in the shape of corn husks and let your kids color them while you (and maybe the older kids) make the carmel corn and shape it. Once the corn and the husks are done, place the corn in the husk so it looks like a corn on the cob. You may want to put the camel corn on a popsickle stick and then wrap the corn husks around them... this will probably be easier for the kids to hold and keep their hands from getting super sticky. That can be your entire Family Home Evening or you can end it by watching a movie with your kids and your cob, or playing fun farm games.

We aren't blessed with children yet, so we haven't done this FHE. If you try it, let me know how it goes! I'd love to know what went well and what might need to be changed! Hope you have fun!

Wow! Summer is going by sooo fast!

In July we celebrated our 2nd anniversary! We spent the day with Alex and Elisabeth (they were celebrating their first anniversary) We went to the Zoo, dinner and a movie. After we split up we went to a cute little bed and breakfast in the Avenues of SLC.

Do we really have that much in common??? ;) Or maybe it's just what Jacob and the Monkey's have in common.... :)


This guy is the Hoffman sloth... we thought they'd let us take him home... since he's ours... but the zoo keeper took him back before we could get him in the car. Really though... he wasn't in a cage or anything, he was just chillin in one of the buildings on a tree. we walked right under him!

We saw these cute little monkey's! JB put his hands up to the glass and this little guy came up and put his hands wherever J put his! Cute. So I tried too!

We went to Idaho twice this summer. The 1st time was for Ryan and Katie's Baby blessing. They blessed cute little Nathan Allen Curtis! J stood in the circle and I'm the designated scribe. We've had the same jobs with both of their kids so lets see if we can keep the tradition alive! We stayed the night at Grandma Dille's! It was nice to see her! THEN we drove up again for the family reunion, which was tons of fun as it always is! On the drive home................................

OUR TIRE BLEW!!!

Lucky for us Jacob was driving and knew it happened right away, while oblivious me was sitting there wondering why in the heck we were pulling over! AND GUESS WHAT! There isn't a jack in my car! CRAP! So a BIG Thanks to Jacob's awesome cousin JASON who came and rescued us!!! Also lucky for us our tire was still under warranty and we got a new one Free! Plus DISCOUNT TIRE employees are GREAT and pointed out how horrible two of our other tires were (they were pretty darn bad) and switched them for us too! Always an adventure!
