What is that?

Last night we were home doing nothing- Jared was watching the Jazz game and I was on the computer- when we hear this weird noise in the backyard. I can hear Jared banging on the window and the dog going crazy, so I go out and see this thing hanging on my back porch light. It was black, we had no idea what it was, thought it was a raccoon so we bring in Missy just in case and the animal finally drops after us banging on the window. It turns out it was a cat, that we had never seen before. Jared decides if we let Missy out the cat will run, so we do, and the cat stays and takes a swipe at our dog, which of course makes my Husband MAD! So he goes and gets his BB Gun and takes a shot at the cat. Did this make the cat run? Nope, it just hissed at Jared! We thought it ran away after that so we are out talking to Clint - our neighbor- who heard the ruckus, and we start to hear some noises behind the BBQ...so we look and the cat is hiding out. Jared slams the BBQ up next to the dog house and we call Animal Control...so Jared waits with a flashlight on the back porch for Animal Control to arrive. He was calling this thing "Satan's Cat" by this time, it hadn't moved since he pushed the BBQ. When they arrive they have a cage and they try for a few minutes to be nice and get it out, it doesn't want to come, so they put their little thing around its neck and gently put it in the cage. As it turns out there are tags on the cat, so it belongs to someone, we hope it doesn't return because Jared knows where his gun is, and not his BB Gun!

Glitter Toes

Last night was my Girls Night Out. We all got "glitter toes". I guess it is the latest thing, there is a layer of gel, followed by glitter and then more gel. It is suppose to last for 6 to 8 weeks. They look so cute and sparkle in the sunlight! I know I am such a girl...it was a fun night! There were so many colors to choose from it was a hard decision, they sure look cute! Don't mind my ugly scars on my toes..not much I can do about that.

Aquarium

Today I went with Krista, Treyton & Braelyn to the Living Planet Aquarium in Sandy. We had a good time looking at all of the fish. I touched one of the sting rays but Trey wanted nothing to do with it, but he really enjoyed watching the sharks. Braelyn just wanted to run around all over, she wanted nothing to do with her little stroller.

Happy Easter

This was truly my favorite talk from General Conference last weekend. It is what I believe to be true. It is a wonderful talk on Easter, and it was too good not to share.

Spring Break begins!

Spring Break begins --today! I have a week off from work, so I think I will be doing the usual Spring cleaning things like cleaning my carpets and baseboards. I hope one day I can meet up with my sister and do something fun with her and my nephew and niece. This weekend is the annual Egg Dive at the pool and my niece will be blessed on Easter Sunday.

Pizza Dough

This is my sister in law Jennie's recipe, we like it. And it is very easy to make.

In my bread maker I add:

1 cup warm water
1 T yeast
1 T. vegetable oil
1 t. salt
3 cups flour


It will make a cookie sheet size. I use the dough option on my bread maker, I have doubled the recipe before and made two cookie sheets and it turned out good. I am guessing you could mix it all by hand in a bowl, if you try that let me know if it works! Hope you enjoy!

The other night something came up about our ages. I said to Jared "You will be 35 this year?" and he said "I can't believe you don't know how old I am!" I know he is 4 years older than me, and since I am 30...WAIT I am 31. How could I forget my age? I must be getting too old to remember! I have been telling people that I am 30 when I am actually a year older than that. Getting old is no fun!
