Hanging Out Together


Collette and I have had some great times this past weekend and it's been fun hanging out together. We attended two bridal showers for girls in the Branch on Saturday. One was a fancy brunch and the other featured a supper, boy did we luck out on the food! We even made it over to Twin Falls to shop inbetween.
Dale was pretty well left on his own, poor thing...he did manage to can 21 pints of salsa from the tomatoes, peppers, onions, garlic, and cilantro from our garden. It is so good and we love you Dad for spending your Saturday making it for us.

Sunday, Collette and I played Scrabble. We like that game and because Dale didn't play, we used a few words that probably only we have heard of.
Dale is in Spokane this week, so it's just the two of us.
We went to Family Home Evening at our singles Branch last night and had a great time. Our activity always starts with a song and prayer, then a conference message from the Ensign. We had four groups playing Uno and Phases 10, it was a blast. I was the winner on my table, surprise, surprise! We had a variety of sweet breads with regular and chocolate milk for refreshments, yum, yum! We always end with a kneeling "family branch" prayer.
Tonight, we are going over to Cameron and Mary's to visit, always a highlight. It is fun to play with the kids and see what has been done to their yard and house.
Wednesday night, we have our "Branch supper" at Taco Bell, then head to our Institute Book of Mormon class afterwards. I am sure we will exhaust the menu soon, so will petition to meet at the food court in the mall next time!
Thursday, Chad and Dale will be home and we all head out Friday morning to a wedding in the Bountiful temple...Chad's best friend and his bride-to-be...members of the singles Branch.
We are so lucky to be able to be with those "kids" of ours in the temple.
After pictures and a luncheon, we head back to Jerome where we will attend Jerome 's Homecoming, Dale announcing the football game and the rest of us cheering the team and scoping out all the fans to see who we remember or don't!
Good times we've had....good times ahead! With Collette, it is always fun!

Man, sounds like you two are having such a great time! I wish I lived closer and could hang out with guys all the time!

Your blog has changed again, and it is as cute as ever. It was so nice to hear from you on the telephone yesterday. Thanks for your call! Keep in touch about being a newly called historian!
XOXO Katie

I am envious of the time that you are able to spend with your daughter. These are truly precious times. I have never noticed how much you and Collette look alike. These photos are great.

I see from my Mom's comment that she feels the same way I did when I read this posting: Green with envy that you get to spend so much time together. You two look like sisters in the photo. Cute and fun? What a package!
