Ice Crack

This past Saturday night Chris and I took the boys to the Jazz game. Chris and I rode the Frontrunner with Dave and Staci and 4 of their kids and Chris's dad met us at the Frontrunner station downtown. (the boys spent the night down there) We rode Trax over to the Gateway and had dinner and then walked over to the game.
Our seats were in the 2nd and 3rd to last rows. I had to pop my ears every time we went down due the the altitude change.
Chris went out and bought the boys a drink to share and when it was all gone, they took off the lid, to get those last few drops. Well Chandler had the cup and was just watching the game and tipping the cup back and forth and all of a sudden he lost his grip and the cup went flying forward, well he caught the cup, but to some theories of physics such as an object in motion will remain in motion, the ice kept going, right down the pants of the guy sitting in front of him, and right on down his crack. Sorry sir! But it was freaking hilarious!

I know it's shocking

It's shocking because I haven't really had much to say....well that isn't true. In the last month I've actually had a lot to say, but I'm very careful about posting my opinion on MY OWN blog because I don't want to offend any one since I obviously don't know every single persons opinion on every single thing.
On that note.....Can we skip Thanksgiving?....not that I'm ready for Christmas or Christmas decorations, or music. But I just really want to go shopping and I could do without the whole meal. I just want to go out to eat and then go shopping, a movie, whatever...but I could skip the whole thing. Sorry!

I have also not said one word politically this entire month so I have to get this out of my system........ TIMES ARE ALREADY CHANGING....TIMES HAVE BEEN CHANGING FOR A LONG TIME!!!! If I hear one more person (in church) talk about how times are changing because of politics and things in our world are scary my head is going to explode. No matter who was elected and whether you like it or not. It has been scary in our world for a long time, and things have been changing for a LONGER time. Anway, I don't know if that makes sense, but I really don't think the world as we know it is coming to an end because of 1 election.

Pine Wood Derby

 
 
 
 
Last week, was the super duper Pine Wood Derby for our little Cub Scouts. The boys (Mclayne and Corbin) had fun building their cars and I have to say that Chris and Dave did a fine job as well :)

SCARY!!!!

 

Chandler (Stars wars clone or Storm Trooper)

 

Mclayne, (The man with no face)

 

 

Delaney of course the Princess of Quite A LOT!

These are our little Trick-or-Treaters. They had so much fun! We went to John and Melinda's ward for their trunk or treat and had dinner. Afterwards, Chris was going to take the boys around the neighborhood and Delaney, who didn't really care that much about the candy insisted on tagging along, so Chris put her in the stroller (slow walker) and she still made a haul!

Breakfast Burritos

So Chris has been stopping at Maverik every morning for a breakfast sandwich and to fill his mug, which costs $3.28 anyway, that is not really in our budget, and we had a whole bunch of hashbrowns in our freezer (another story) and I found this recipe and thought I would share.

Ingredients:
1 Tbsp. olive oil
6 slices canadian bacon, cut into small pieces (I used bacon cut up)
2 cups frozen hash brown potatoes, thawed and drained
8 eggs
1/2 cup salsa
16 (6") tortillas
1 cup shredded Pepper Jack Cheese (I used Weight Watchers mexican blend)

Preparation:
In large skillet, heat olive oil and brown bacon and has browns. In large mixing bowl, combine eggs and salsa; beat well until combined. Pour into skillet with bacon and potatoes and cook over medium heat, stirring occassionally, until eggs are set. Spoon egg mixture into flour tortillas, sprinkle with cheese, and roll us. Place roll-ups in freezer bags and freeze.
When ready to serve, place burrito in microwave, covered with a paper towel, and heat for about 1-2 minutes on high power for each burrito.
