Let the games begin....

It's Jazz time...yes basketball. I am not a huge fan of the game but every year Steve spends a good majority of the season entertaining customers. Sometimes I go with him, sometimes I get to stay home. It sounds like fun to go to so many games but by the end of the season I am tired of it. My company does a lot of work for Larry Miller, so we have great season tickets. Every time I got offered them last year we were already going to the game. So finally this year we found a free night and decided to take the girls to their first Jazz game.

We started the night off at California Pizza Kitchen. Madison's choice and a good choice at that.


Their first game wouldn't have been complete without a jersey! Salem was cheering for "LOSER", we had to keep reminding her that it was "BOOZER"


What a fun game, there is nothing better than making memories as a family.

The first snowfall and UEA

Salem was so excited last weekend when the first snow fell. I was sick just thinking about winter so her dad was a good sport and they built the first snowman of the year.


Steve and I had originally planned to be in Boston for the past week but due to other circumstances we had a change of plans. Since we both had the time off work and the girls were out of school we decided to pack it up and head to Park City for a night.

We had such a great time just relaxing and taking it easy. The girls get along so well, Salem thinks Madison hung the moon and Madison is so sweet and patient with her. We have loved having her live with us for the past few weeks and hope she decides to stay longer.


On Saturday we finally got around to doing our Haunted Gingerbread House. The girls did a wonderful job!

Yes Salem ingested way too much sugar during the process.

Sportin the Headband

Disclaimer, I had already taken my make up off for the night and put on my glasses when Melissa requested I model a headband. Please no one black mail me over this. I honestly wear the ones I have all the time. I even put them on Salem basically one size fits all, there is Velcro on them so they stay put on even the smallest heads.

Holy @%$*

When Steve and I started living together we lived in the foothills in Layton. He told me to be careful because there were tarantula's. I told him he was a liar and to prove it I called my dad (after all Leroy the science teacher knows everything) who said he had never seen one. Steve said his ex-wife caught one in their backyard..again I called B.S. We have been together six years and I have yet to see one...until now.

My mother in law found this in her furnace room....

Lucky for her it was already dead but holy crap. Just to give you an idea of how big this spider is look at it in comparison to my cell phone.

Grandma is so nice to save all the strange things she finds for Salem. Salem is completely fascinated and I am totally freaked out. So I stand corrected these things really do exist!
