What is wrong with people?

What is wrong with these people?  Is getting the best possible deal worth someone dying over?!?  I am completely outraged at the idiot shoppers that are in this article!!

Vacation

Well my week of vacation is over and it is back to the grindstone!  Man do I have alot of emails at work I needed to clear out. 
Last week we cleaned the house and I ended up having a huge allergy attack because of all the dust we disturbed!  But the house was clean before Thanksgiving, but it is a slight array again.  I feel like I did all that work for nothing!!!  Oh well, I will probably do it all over again this week and this weekend!  We are de cluttering the house and it is going to be a long project, but it needs to be done! 
I am working on my signs again and making hats for the gift wrap booth.  We seem to be doing pretty darn good at the booth this season with various vendors from The Palace Courtyard selling handmade gifts.  I am hoping to make a ton of money for the band this year!!!   So go to the Sierra Vista Mall, buy one of the handmade gifts we have or let us wrap your Christmas gifts!! 
Riley is moving alot more lately and she is starting to kick harder.  I am hoping within the next few weeks, my family will be able to fell her kick too.  She seems to kick more when I sing, so I am not sure if she enjoys it or is telling me to stop.  Hee hee!  Her moving is more associated when I am relaxing or sitting at the dinner table trying to eat.  Luckily last night I was able to sleep the entire night without being awoken to her moving. 
Sunday night I woke up shivering and could not get warm.  During that time I hit my little toe against the door jam and low and  behold, I broke it!  Owie!  Owie Owie!! 
Thanksgiving feasting time was great.  We had a bit leftover so we had another turkey celebration on Sunday!  It was pretty fun to be able to have Thanksgiving twice in a row!!

Turkey Day

In 30 minutes I will be on vacation for one week!  I will get to sleep in and go into a vegative state watching tv.  I get to make pumpkin pies, cranberry sauce and get the house cleaned up and un cluttered for Thanksgiving!  I want to make a few more signs for my gift wrap booth that opens the day after Thanksgiving in the Sierra Vista Mall!  YEAH!! I will have the time to do it all!  Plus I have to find a turkey!!!

I love Thanksgiving dinner!  This will be the first time I am pregnant during Thansgiving, before I was just taking care of a newborn!  I hope I can eat!  I am really looking forward to turkey, dressing, mashed taters with gravy, cranberry sauce, rolls, melting butter and pumpkin pie with whipped cream!   Yummy yum!

If you need your gifts wrapped thsi Christmas season, please come on out and check out our booth!  We will be having handmade gifts and cards from The Palace Courtyard! 

I just wanted to tell you all
Have A Happy Thanksgiving
and A Safe Black Friday!

Week of sickness!

I have been sick!  Sorry for the late post.  First I get nauseas and then I develope a cold right on top of everything.  I spent alot of time in bed last week just trying to breath because the cold wrecked havoc on my asthma!  Luckily the doctor said I can use both my inhalers and sudafed!  YEAH ME!

Saturday was Rebecca's last band performance for Buchanan Band!  She is graduating this year and I am glad they went out with a bang!  They won Sweepstakes, better then first place!  And Rebecca got to accept the awards!! First time we ever got to see her do the salute to the judges!  It was awesome!!

That same day was the Senior Band Kids dinner!  Of course Richard helped plan, buy and prepare it!  They got steak, twice baked mashed potatoes, green beans, salad, rolls, cheese cake, death by chocolate cake and punch and sparkling cider!  They all loved it!  It was a great success!!

Sunday was Stake Conference and it is always great to hear from new converts and their conversion story.  I am ever so glad that they did not ever ask me to do that!  It was weird listening to the Stake President talk when he was just in our house for a visit about three weeks ago.  He seemed pretty impressed with our family and our bishop who was with him seemed to brag about us a little to him.  Richard was again in the choir and he does it because he likes to sing and because I do not like sitting in the hard seats, especially now being pregnant.  

Our cafe should be opening this Friday!  Cross your fingers that we get the permits, the work and the inspections done in time!  If everything goes as planned we will be having our Grand Opening December 3rd!    You are all invited of course!!  Plus you are all invited to visit the cafe in the great gift shop The Palace Courtyard which the cafe will be in!

Well, this Thursday I should be able to find out if I am having a girl or a boy.  Or as my good friend Stasha says, a hamburger or a hot dog!  LOL!  Cross you fingers that Baby Fisher cooperates and flashes the dr and doesn't moon him!!

Scary moment

We went to my monthly dr's appointment this morning.  Did our typical wait and then the whole weighing and peeing in the cup.  Allyson came in with the device that lets you hear the baby's heartbeat.  She was moving it all around and getting nothing.  So I am panicking.  Richard said I had a look of concern and fear on my face.  I was really thinking, where is the heartbeat?  Did something bad happen?  Just as I was getting ready to completely panic when she put the device under my belly button and there it was!  Strong and steady and way up high!  She said the baby is up high and is pretty big!  So the scary of no hearbeat is over and now I have to worry that I am going to give birth to a toddler!! 

As Richard and I have said throughout this entire pregnancy, Heavenly Father won't give us something we can not handle.  Big baby it is then!

Weekend

This weekend was jammed packed with activities!  First Rebecca had band practice from 10-1 and our school was hosting Golden State Tournament of Bands.  So there were alot of schools and kids we have never seen before trapsing all over our school! 

Rebecca, ReAnna and Brytani were in the Fresno North Stake Musical Program, We Testify of Christ.  There were three shows, two on Saturday and one on Sunday.   Rebecca has a line when the Nephites were visited my Christ and ReAnna was an extra in another scene.  The both wore yellow, strange huh?  They sang a bunch of songs that were very moving and it was a packed house as usual.  If you went, thanks, if you did not, please go next year.  It is so worth it!

Saturday also was the 6 anniversary of The Palace Courtyard being on Blackstone.  We made some gift certificates and gave them away as prizes.  It was pretty cool, but not well publicized unfortunately.   Could have been bigger. 

Sunday was testimony meeting and there was no dead air at all! It was very moving and spiritual.  Some were funny, but it was still great!  Richard and I got asked to be on the Ward Christmas Party committee!  YEAH!!  I hope I get to do something great!  The RS Christmas party is December 1st.  I signed up to lend them my chargers.  I hope I remember and am able to go. I hope that my friend Tana and her family is back in time to visit and go to the Ward Christmas party as our guest.  It will be awesome!

We went to the last performance on Sunday and my niece and Samia saved us five seats so we were abel to sit close to the front.  YEAH!! 

I go to the doctor this Tuesday and I hope to get an ultrasound so I can see what I am having.  Otherwise I have to wait until November 17th!!

Halloween

Our Halloween was some what strange!  There were more children and cars in my neighborhood then what lives there.  On the news I heard that the poorer neighborhoods were going to other neighborhoods to trick or treat.  There were kids barely dressed up so I am guessing the news report was right. 
The same houses that never participate with Halloween were the same ones again.  No lights, but kids were running up the walk to ding the doorbells.  I always thought the rule was you only go to the doors with the porch lights on. Maybe some never heard that one?
The haunted house across the street from my house was crazy busy.  There was a waiting line to get in.  One little girl tripped over the barriers they had out.  I picked her up the first time and then she fell over them again.  Take the mask off!!  Now I know why I hate mask for halloween!  They can be dangerous!  The two older girls were giant chickens about going into the haunted house but the three little ones did, though Amberlin and Kaitlyn started crying even before they went in.  Richard went with them and said they cried the entire way through.  
We finally got home and had some pumpkin pie and then I went to bed.  The kids were up for another hour getting ready for bed and running off the candy they had just eaten before pie.  Christopher was up even later and then would not get up this morning complaining that he was tired.  Richard went in there once to get them up, then I did and then his sisters did.  Richard ended going upstairs and physically getting him out of bed.  I know someone who is going to bed at 7:45 tonight!  

How was your Halloween?!?
