"The Result"

I am not too happy with the results! I really wanted Cloris to go home. I really have had enough of her. However Kim just did not do anything. I felt like she just walked around the dance floor. Like Bruno said she has the goods she just did not use them. Loved Kim and Warren doing there dance again tonight. He is adorable! I hope he does good next week. Does anyone know what the dance is for next week? I never hear them announce it. Do they and I am just missing it? Let me know.

"Eagle Court of Honor"

This Sunday we spent a special evening with Evans Family on honoring Justin Evans in receiving his Eagle! We had a great dinner at the Evans home and than headed off to the church for the event. There where 5 young men receiving there Eagle on Sunday. I had never been to an court of honor before. It was awesome. Lots of great talks given, introduction of these young men. Afterwards the mothers of these boys made fantastic Chocolate English Trifle for dessert. Soo good and rich. Thanks for inviting us to share this milestone with you. We love you.

"A New Vacuum"

This past weekend was a hoot. Went to vacuum and you guessed the vacuum would not suck. Craig and work on that darn thing for a while and said forget it. Give me the credit card I am going to Sears! So off we went. Got a nice Kenmore with great features. I love it. The carpet is fluffy and the drapes got a good vacuuming as well. So nice! I love a new appliance.

"Game Night at the Readings"

Arlene helping mom after a breakdown of laughter!

I hope I can put this funny and hysterical evening in words! Ok here goes. Our family has some dear friends from our old ward in Torrance. They are the Readings! We have know them since, oh let me see for about 47yrs. Well Sister Reading and her oldest daughter live out here in AZ now. Well we all have decided that at least once a month we will all get together and have dinner and play games. So this past Saturday we had it on Ronda's and Arlene's home in Surprise. Ronda cooked and made really good Beef Stroganoff. Yummy! And than excellent pumpkin pie for desert. A little taste of Autumn. It was great!


Well Ronda and Arlene have the game called "3 and 4's". A card game. 3 decks of cards are in this game. So I asked who was going to shuffle. Well are Arlene says "no need to scuffle" and she whips out the deck scuffler like the ones in Vegas! I thought I was going to wet my pant. So Craig and my Dad start scuffling the cards for about 10 mins. Come on guys! It must be a guy thing. So we started to play the game and noticed that mom did not have anymore cards. We asked what was wrong and she politely told us she could not hold the cards because of her arititis in her thumbs. That was fine so Arlene said "lets play Mexican train". A domino's game. Sounds great. So we get all the domino's passed out and the game is being explained and all of sudden dad says "wait are these domino's in color? I can't see color!" I just about lost it. And than Mom and Dad starting laughing so hard, we where all about on the floor. Dad said "you might has well hang a handicap sign on mom and I". "Thank goodness I can count"! The night continued with these two. Dad is a good card and a good game player. I was shocked to see these two in action with games. It was so much fun. Than mom would say things like "well I just put that card down." And Arlene would lean over and tell her "Sigie we are playing domino's" and we would just fall apart with laughter. It was so awesome medicine for all of us. I love to laugh. I will cherish that evening that I had with them and to see them play games like that and just laugh at themselves and with all of us. It was great! Here are some pictures. Enjoy!



Ronda thinking about how she is going to win the game! Well she needed a calculator to add up her losing point's. We laught again. Needing the calculator!
