Primary Program Blues

I'm scared. The Primary Program is today and I'm singing. All by myself. Luckily it's just one verse. But still..... Aaaaagghhhhh!

Chili Cook Off, Halloween Carnival and Cake Auction(Yummmm!)

Last night was the wonderful everything you read above! Allyson made the coolest cake. It was a volcano(see Ally's blog for pictures). Also, Dad entered the paper airplane flying contest and won the ward-famous Gloria Miller flan cake! The carnival was fun too. Some people even guessed correctly what Bohdees was!(Buffy the Vampire Slayer. She had a sharpened stick that was her "stake".)

Bored,Bored, Bored

So I'm sitting here a the computer, being, as Amy and Abby would put it, a "Bumptsty" or something. So now I will be downstairs. Goodbye.

I got to babysit the Bensons' tonight and they were perfect, adorable little angels, as always. I read probably six(or more) books to them. But they are the best kids(sorry Julie, children) ever. Jared says the longest prayers in the world, but they are so cute. Then there's Avery who just sits there sucking her thumb and looking cute. I practically had to wrench it out her mouth so she would eat her enchilada(which were delicious, by the way). It's always an adventure a the Bensons'!

Congrats to Manda, Ivan, Isabel and Asher!

Speaking of Asher, Congratulations to Manda and Ivan! We have received a new cousin(or 2nd cousin, I don't know) into our family! Hooray! (I love new cousins. But then when I try to explain whose baby it is it just confuses my friends but I don't care!:)

Random Info Post

So, here I am, sitting at home with nothing to do. I have nothing interesting to say. Well, except tell everyone what everyone else is being for Halloween. (I LOVE Halloween. Sorry, but I just do!)
Bohdees- Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Me- medieval woman
Mom- ? I don't know
Dad- Magnum P.I. (Hooray!)
Savannah- she's not sure but she's narrowed it down to a hippie or a make-up addict(I'm rooting for the make-up addict!)
Becca- a scarecrow(although she said that if someone wanted to, she'd be Thing 1 and Thing 2 with them:)
Baby Syd- Minnie Mouse(so cute!)
Tyler- Peter Pan
Asher Samuel(new baby cousin)- Peter Pan also

Susan and Aubrey- a bee on a flower
If I forgot you or got your costume wrong, comments welcome!

Cleocatra

As I'm sure you all know, Cleocatra, our beloved cat, has died. I'm not exactly sure how to say this, but all I can say is that I loved her. No other cat could compare to her personality. She was family and I'll always miss her.



(This is me and Cleo when I was little. I was surprised to see how much she had grown since this picture. I vaguely remember taking this picture. I think this is, as Son-Son puts it, 'documented proof' of how much I loved this cat.)
