Blast From the Past

Last night we enjoyed quite a treat! When I was young my siblings and friends and I used to watch "Mac and Me". The movie is about a Mysterious Alien Creature (MAC) who has escaped from NASA agents and is befriended by a young boy in a wheelchair. Together, they try to find MAC's family, from whom he has been separated. It's low budget, and HILARIOUS! If you've never seen it, find it and watch it. If you have, watch it again! My sister and I cried laughing. Geoff, Sariah's boyfriend, found it online and downloaded it (why someone would make a bootleg of this film I do not know). I am hoping he can find "Scamper and Snowflake" which was another one of our childhood favorites! It's about two penguins. Let me know some of your childhood favorites!

i made this soup and it turned out really good.

CREAM OF POTATO SOUP WITH BACON 3-5 lb. potatoes, pared & diced 1 med. onion, chopped 2 chicken bouillon cubes 8 slices bacon, very crisp 1 can cream of mushroom soup 1/2 gal. milk Salt & pepper to taste Boil potatoes, onion and bouillon cubes in just enough water to cover until potatoes are tender. Add mushroom soup and milk. Thicken with cornstarch. Crumble bacon and add to soup. Garnish with 2 tablespoons parsley.

i put in lots of bacon, added green onions, garlic powder, celery salt, and cheddar cheese. I only put in 1/4 gallon of milk. enjoy!!

We had a great weekend in Draper with Drew's family. But, its nice to be home now! We had some good food and watched the Olympics. We went and saw the Percy Jackson movie. I liked it! I haven't read the books, Mindy said they changed the story. So now we're home! Sam slept in his own bed all night last night! Hooray! Drew is home from work on account of the rain/snow. I have a head cold :( Today is looking like it will be a slow relaxing one :)

Fell asleep eating.

Chowin on bday cake!

Bday spaghetti dinner.

Christmas! My mom got me this little people nativity! so excited!!

Yay Christmas!

Mommy's little Chewbacca!

Well, it has definately been a LONG time since I've updated! We are now living in Tooele, Ut. Where I grew up. I am mostly a stay at home mom, and work a little at a salon in town! Drew works for Clark's Quality Roofing in Salt Lake. We had a good first Halloween with Sambo. He was chewbacca! It was pretty awesome! Christmas was fun, he could have cared less about presents haha! What can you do! Sam is almost 13 months now. We had a family get together for his birthday. It was a really good time! He enjoyed the cake, the toys, and the company! He is an outgoing little funny man! He runs, climbs, and crawls on everything he can! He figured out how to get up on our toilet yesterday... He loves bath time and balls and Philip. He is the highlight of our lives! He is the biggest goof ball. We found out just before Christmas that we are again expecting! I am due 8-29. I'm not looking forward to being hugely pregnant during the hottest time of year but we are both so excited! We are looking forward to Oma and Opa visiting this weekend, and spending a few nights in Draper with them. We love our ward here in Tooele. I am the 2nd counselor in Young Womens and over the Beehives. Drew is the ctr 5 teacher in primary, which is a little challenging because he has to take the ctr 4 class as well so he has 14 kids. It's more babysitting that teaching :(. Hopefully he will get a new calling soon. He went to St. George for work last week, and will probably be going out of town often in the future. well that all for now! :)
