I love to go up to Evanston because we always do something fun and crafty. This past trip my sister and Capri came to play for a day. We had plans to do all kinds of fun crafty projects like making bracelets for the girls (didn't happen)... Then I was telling Ranell how I wanted to buy Tori a tutu. She said, "those are cute but we could make our own". That's just what we did and they turned out better then half of the ones I have seen. It didn't take long at all to make them and it was so fun. Tori's turned out a little big and will fit for quite a few years but I plan on making a few more. I love them and it turn out to be a fun photo shoot prop!! Thanks Ranell for being so crafty and rubbing off on me a little!!

Going to E-town is always so much fun!
We never have enough time to see everyone that we wanted to-Sorry if we missed anyone this past visit!
Usually we are sooo not ready to leave and make our 5 hour journey back to St. G!
We always go home with more then we came with. Ok, almost always!
All in all we miss everyone and had such a great time:We spent most of our time visiting family and just relaxing. We love going home and are ready to go back. In fact we we will be going back up to E-town on Friday for Tori's special day...Her baby bless. Yes, finally, since she is now 3 1/2 months old. WOW!!!
My friend Tiff will be getting married in two weeks. I am sure she is ready since she and Jesse have been engaged for a while:) So I knew we had to throw her a bridal shower. I was so excited to get this whole thing planed(Heather and I- The Bridesmaides got it all cooked up!). When the day came...March 7th we had such a good time. We played lots of games and had some wonderful food and decorations(Shout out to Tiff's mom-she is so great). I hope Tiff had a good time and I hope she will have many special memories of this day!!
Justin and I are high school sweethearts. We dated for about six years before we got engaged. We have now been married for 1 1/2 years and just had our first little baby girl(Torrance). We couldn't be happier. We live in St. George Utah and love the perfect weather here. I work for a Dermatologist and enjoy all the new and crazy things we see from day to day. Justin works in sales but also does landscaping on the side. We have a fun, calm dog named gizmo who has been with us for almost two years. He was the baby but not anymore, and is adjusting to the new less exciting role of a big brother(I know kind of goofy but he is part of the family). Well that's us in a nutshell!
From now on when I try a really good recipe I am going to put it on here and also try to include a picture. I will start posting soon! ................................................................................................................. 2-4-09** Shepherd's Pie Ingredients: 1 can french style green beans(un- drained), 1 can tomato soup, 1 lb ground beef, mashed potatoes and cheese
Brown beef in skillet. Add green beans and tomato soup and let simmer for 5 min. Add mashed potatoes-enough to cover entire skillet. Cover with cheese and put in oven until bubbly. Yum Yum-you can always add your own touch as well...like onions in the beef. --------------------------------------------------------------- ALL AMERICAN MEAT LOAF Ingredients: Crock pot, 1 1/2 lbs ground beef, 2 cups bread crumbs, 1 c ketchup, 1/2 c onion, 2 eggs(beaten), 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp black pepper, cheese and 2 tbs tomato paste
In a large mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients, except for the cheese and tomato paste. Shape half of the meat mixture into a loaf. Arrange preferred amount of cheese, then top with the remaining meat mixture, pressing edges together to seal. Place in the crock-pot. Top with the tomato paste and more cheese(love cheese :). Cover; cook on low for 4-6 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
