One Shed Bodily

Karen, thanks for the pictures.  I love your house and I am so glad that it is finally tours.  I am so excited for you.  That is amazing that you won all that money.  That came at a good time with your house closing.  Now you can afford that sewing machine you have always wanted.  Today was good.  Isaac is feeling better and we are having good days again.  It is really really wonderful.  It has been so cold I had to give Isaac his Christmas coat early.  It looks really good on him and I think that it will be a good coat for him.  He also likes to play the piano, he looks so cute when playing I took a pictures.

WOW

Thanks Karen for the pictures.  I love your house.  I agree the red bedroom may have to go.  It might be a good train room however.  (just kidding).  Robin thanks for the bread.  It looks so good.  I am so excited for tomorrow and the next day and the next day and the next day and the next week.  11 days off.  I am going to have a real good time.  Well I wrapped the rest of my presents tonight and I am ready for Robin's birthday.  I agree with Robin we could have a count down to the quilt show.  That would be fun.  Get lots of rest tonight.  We are going to need it.

LOVE MOM

Winner

Well I won 500 dollars at the party. Then I got an award for having a good attitude (the Happy Jack Award) and got 200 dollars with that. Yeah! Work went by pretty fast today as well. I guess having a 2 hour luncheon will do that. I went to my house tonight and took pictures to put on the blog. Impressive I know.

I wrapped everyone's presents YEAH!!! so christmas is a go. happy friday!! see you all in a bit :) robin

Two great minds

I think that is funny Rachel, I came back to blog that we need a new count down calendar.  We will have to think of something epic to count down.  Love the pictures.  Now if we just had pictures of a new house.  :)  LOVE MOM

One More Day

We need to think of something else to count down to, our countdown on the blog ends tomorrow.  Good luck tomorrow if the zombies come.  Good job on your house Karen.  Pictures would be nice if you stop in again.  Today was good.  Isaac is feeling better and things are going better.  Casey had to work late since he was sick yesterday so me and Isaac walked the mall and I set up an appointment for his two year old pictures.  I made another table runner and I put it on my table and I really like it.  It doesn't match the kitchen great but it doesn't look too bad either.  I also attached a picture of Isaac arranging all the magnets in a row.  It was really cute, he was working on it when I was making dinner.  I am excited to go skiing this weekend.  It will be fun.

Love
Rachel

Fondue

I went to the store tonight and got all the food for the holidays.  I am so excited.  I got everything for a fondue.  Robin can you bring your little crock pots and we can use them for chocolate and cheese dips.  I got steak and chicken and cresent rolls and fruit and marshmellows.  We are going to have a really good birthday dinner.  Work was slow for me also.  I am just ready for the holidays.  I am looking forward to 11 days off.  That will be so good.  I am driving to work tomorrow because I have to go to the post office to mail some stuff.  That will be fun.  I need to drive once in a while.  Not much else to report other than I am ready for the parties to begin.

LOVE MOM

Almost Friday

Well I went over to the house after work today. It looks good. Mom said I should have taken pictures but I figure you can all see it in real life soon. My day was good. Work seemed long but that is just business as usual. I am so glad that tomorrow is Friday. It is also the end of the year party at work. So that should be fun. I am good with the plan that everyone blogged. It should be an exciting Christmas holiday. Well have a great Friday everyone. BYE

Firming up plans

Let's just go to Logan on Saturday and then leave on Saturday night after we have Robin's birthday dinner.  We can come to SLC and then on Sunday we can go to Kamas and spend the whole day there.  I agree with Robin.  I think we are going to need some time to get things organized before we move everything in.  Rachel and Casey and Isaac can do their thing on Sunday and we can goof around in Kamas and then Monday morning we will get up and go to Logan.  That might work better for me anyway.  I have to do payroll sometime on Monday or Sunday. I like that idea.  LOVE MOM

um ok

well I was hazy on the whole saturday to sunday to monday business. I just know karen might be a tich excited for her house so I thought on my birthday we could clean up the yard and clean the house, i'm sure they are great people but so were the people that owned the house in logan. and they left some fun surprises. but I am totally cool with whatever works for everyone I will pack cloths and I will follow the pack. So there is my impute ;) well I am off to bed I am so tired.... robin

Say I

I like the plan.  The only problem I have is sleeping in Kamas on Saturday night.  Karen doesn't have anything in the house yet.  So we will leave here on Saturday, You guys go skiing in the afternoon.  I was going to bring up some stuff for fondue.  I think we can go to Kamas on Sunday and then Logan on Monday.  How does that sound.  I was going to also make some lasagna and then for Christmas eve we are going to have Karen's ham.  I am glad you got you hair cut Robin.  That is always fun.  I am going to do that next week when I am not working.  Mine is so long.  Congratulations Karen.  You are now a home owner.  May you have many years of happiness in your house.  Do we want to come and pick you up on Saturday Karen on our way to Logan?  Have a great day.  LOVE MOM

Congratulations

Congratulations Karen, that is awesome.  I am so excited for you.  That sounds right about the holiday plans.  I am not sure about spending the night Sunday.  You guys are welcome and it would be fun to have everyone stay.  We need to stay in Logan on Sunday because Casey's Mom is coming over for Isaac's birthday.  If you guys don't have to do anything Sunday you should just stay up here.  We decided to make tamales for Isaac's birthday lunch.  We got the stuff for it and I am excited.  They hopefully will taste good.  Casey didn't feel good last night and had a fever so he called in sick today.  It was so nice to have him home.  I don't feel as stressed out now.  It was really a nice day.  He was able to get some rest and is feeling better.  Well I am excited for skiing and having the holidays start.  Congratulations again Karen.

I did it

Well I did it. The house is mine starting tomorrow. Just as soon as the title clears. At least the bank will start emailing and calling me now. Just 2 more days until the weekend. Yeah! And it is a long one so that is even better. So let me sum up the holiday plan as I understand it. We are traveling up to Logan on Saturday morning and then going skiing from 1230 to 4 ish. Then I am assuming dinner. Now for my first question are we spending Saturday night in Logan? Then we are celebrating Robin's birthday on Sunday. Next question is that in Logan or SLC? Then Monday we are celebrating Isaac's birthday Monday and spending that night in Logan. Christmas the next morning. Then back home sometime that day. Does that sound right to everyone? Well I hope that everyone has a great Thursday tomorrow.

hair did

well today was an awful day at work. The new girl offically is a goner. she kept calling in all last week and hasn't shown up at all this week. then my boss is on vacation and all the orders were a hot mess. SO i decided to call up my groupon and see if i could get my hair cut. just for fun. they could fit me in so I got it dyed and cut. Lucklily the girl was super new so the "mentor" did most of the work. she basically styled it. so everything I really like but the style, but I figured one wash and that will change. Tomorrow I have a morning work breakfast. I am excited for your house karen :) it will be so fun. Rachel I will totally help you dye fabric. SO>>>>>>>>>>>Here is my final revision on plans. all in favor say I. So we will come down on saturday and ski (at beaver) I think afternoon is best but we can do morning. but if we do afternoon time. we can ski till 4. then come home and have dinner at 5. eat and play then we can pack up and go to kamas. On the 23 we will play in kamas/park city. clean the new house knock down some bushes. and take relaxing baths in the jetted tubs. Then on the 24 go up to logan party thru the 25th and come home and then we get ready for the next something...... ya

Home owner

Just think Karen tomorrow at this time you will be a home owner.  WOW.  That is exciting.  We will meet you at the signing place at 4:00, then we will go celebrate.  It was a busy day and then tonight I went looking for a wicker basket for the party tomorrow.  I couldn't find one but I found a cute snowman box and I have decided that is good enough.  Tomorrow I have a Christmas luncheon for administration and their assistants and then a retirement party for one of the people I work with and then off to help Karen.  It is shaping up to be a busy day.  Rachel, your quilt is really nice.  You do such good work.  I am sorry that Isaac isn't doing well.  I hope his teeth come in soon.  These ones have been rough.  Are they the last set for awhile?  I talked to Melody today and Lisa named her baby David.  I thought you would like to know that.  LOVE MOM

Good Job

Karen, I am very proud of you.  I didn't realize how involved buying a house was and you handled everything really well.  I am so excited for you.  I am excited to see the house.  Good luck tomorrow.  We had a rough morning but I sewed with Jenn which was really nice and Isaac was a lot better in the afternoon. I finished my quilt and I am glad to be done with it.  I going to quilt my quilts now.  I need to dye some fabric so I was hoping that you could help me do it Robin.  One more week till Christmas/Isaac's birthday. :)

Love
Rachel

Down to the end

Well I am super nervous about closing tomorrow. It will go good, but boy is it stressful. My day was good. The weather was snowy off and on today. The drive to work was alittle slick but the drive home wasn't bad at all. I am good with either skiing time. I do vote for Beaver though. Tomorrow is the cookie exchange at work. I even made cookies. I went with the standard oatmeal chocolate chip. If there are any left over I will bring them with me. I can't believe that Christmas is only a week away. Well wish me luck. Have a great Wednesday everyone.

Well...

That is crazy about the price difference for skiing.  We could do half day in the afternoon then you wouldn't have to leave so early.  That might work better.  I will look around and see if there are any deals or coupons going on right now.  I will let you know.  Congratulations on your house Karen.  I am excited to see it.  I bet that it is beautiful.  Well it is going to be a busy and fun Christmas.  I am excited.  It will be here soon.

Love
Rachel

decisions, decisions

I am good with anything that will work.  Dad isn't feeling very well tonight so we will have to see how that works out.  It is raining here tonight but I met Robin and we went to Costco.  I had a really nice time.  Well not much else going on with me.  Hope you have a good day.  LOVE MOM

Or we can start at 12:30 on saturday. just as a heads up beaver opens the 20th so the 21st may be a little busier. but I don't know if that will be a big deal or not lifts operate daily from 9:00am - 4:00pm half day is 9:00am - 12:30pm, or 12:30pm - 4:00pm

its a crazy

OK so here is planning session 101: Ski trip: 2 choices- brighton-57 for half day pass, beaver -32 for half day pass. SO I was thinking we can go to beaver we will leave slc really early so we can start skiing at 9. Then we can eat lunch up there. If you guys are up for a full day we can do that. And then we can go to rachels and casey's for dinner and have fondue..... . from there we can either stay the night in logan..... go to heber and stay in karen's new place....go stay in SLC.... Depending on what we do depends on what happens on the 23. On the 24 we will go to logan for lunch/isaacs birthday, and I will make cakes for decorating (option of doing that on the 21st. if we are not tired or do a half day and want to kill time before dinner. SO those are my ideas, options, and diffrent senarios. what is everyones ideas/hopes/dreams???? robin

Moving right along

Well my day was good. We are closing on my house on Wednesday. Then I get the keys on Thursday morning. You guys should all come up Friday night or Saturday sometime and see it. I got my cookies made tonight. We are having a cookie exchange on Wednesday at work. I was halfway thru mixing it and I didn't have any vanilla. So I had to run to Smith's and get some. I hate it when that happens. It was even rain/snow so that made it even more fun. Well I hope that everyone has a great Tuesday tomorrow. BYE

its over

Its over. Yesterday was alittle crazy but I made it through alive. today I slept and slept and ate then slept. it was so nice, I didn't even get out of my pajamas ;) I'm excited for your house karen if you need anything let me know and I can come up. I'm glad its just isaacs teeth. that means there is an end in sight. it just sucks not feeling well. Mom if you want I might head to costo's tomorrow if you want to go and we can plan for this weekend. If you are busy tomorrow no stress my week is alot less crazy then the past few. well I am off to sleep some more have a great monday robin

So glad

I was getting so worried about Isaac.  I am glad it is his teeth. Since they are breaking through he should be feeling better soon. Poor kid. Karen good luck with your week.  I hope it works out.  Actually I kind of hope it takes another couple of days and then it will be the new year and it will save you lots of money.  Good luck with all your parties.  I had a good day.  I think I slept most of the day. We did make sacrament meeting.  That was nice.  We got our records coming to our new ward.  That will be good.  I did call Dirk and Lisa had her baby  7 lbs 10 ounces but other than that I had no details.  I will let you know if I find out anything else.  It was nice to have a quiet day.  Robin we need to get together one night and get this weekend organized.  Let me know what will be good for you.  Other than going with Karen to sign her new house I am free.  Have a good week.  Christmas is almost here. Rachel that is a beautiful table runner.  I really like it.

LOVE MOM

I figured it out

I figured out what is going on with Isaac.  He is getting his top two molars in.  We were talking on the floor today and I looked in his mouth and the tips of them are showing through.  This has been a rough teething.  I am hoping that it is almost done.  We went to nursery today and he did really good.  They took the older kids into sunbeams and when they came back it was crazy.  It was really a crazy time.  I made a table runner and I love it.  I need to quilt it still but it was really fun.  I have another one cute out to make also.  It is made from a charm pack.  Casey made it home, he said that the road were bad through the pass.  Karen you have a crazy week.  Good luck with everything.  I am so excited for you.  Yea!!

Love
Rachel

Going to be crazy

Well I think this week is going to be crazy, but I will survive (unless the world ends of course). Well I should close either Monday or Tuesday, then Wednesday is a cookie exchange at work, and then Friday is the year end Christmas party. I may need large quantities of coke by the end of the week. Robin I hope that your last show went well. I have had a good day. I even got some stuff pack. Wow I know. Well I hope that everyone has a great week. BYE
