Everybody

Grandma can not read the small writing. So you all need to make sure and use bold large letters. Thanks this hopefully will help her be able to read it more easily.

Aubrey

We loved your jello salad. Me, Zach & Blake, John, Griselda & Quinton & Aunt Jan sat around after everybody left and gobled up your jello salad. We fought over the giant fresh blackberries. It was delicious. You all missed out.

JoAn

Greg and I are coming to thanksgiving now! We are so excited. I was wondering if I could bring stuffing since nobody was signed up for that yet? Sorry for such late notice. We can't wait to see everyone!

New Moon....

I know all of you are dying to know about New Moon. Yes I went to the midnight showing. Emily was there too and it just so happened I walked into the theatre were my friends were saving me seats and it was right behind Emily and her friends...small world. Anyways.... I really liked it. Way better than the first movie. Just don't go expecting anything great. All of you who are on Jacob's team, I am officially converted to his team. He is so freakin HOT in the movie. Go see it just for the heck of it.

Exciting!

We just found out that Free got an interview at Midwestern in Glendale! We are so excited and just cannot believe it! Aubrey we may move close to you!

me: maybe she will save them for you

Mary: I will tell her to k mom

My internship teacher has this to say:

on my evaluation he wrote:

"Katie is gaining valuable experience in different Special Education settings. Her knowledge of the difference between disabilities is strong, as well as her experience with different age groups and understanding the unique development of students with disabilities. Katie also shows a great depth of understanding of current Special Education issues and can articulate thoughtful responses to questions. Katie has a strong rapport with our students. She is friendly, yet firm. She is able to jump into any situation and contribute to the learning environment of the students.--Matt Stone"

Thanksgiving

I know every year i'm always the one to post this, but when your trying to juggle two families we have to figure things out ahead of time. So, we know Thanksgiving is suppose to be at Johns house, Kent thinks its around 2pm but does anyone know for sure what time it is starting. We have a big shin dig at my dads house since ALL my siblings are going to be in town this year but we still would like to stop by and see everyone, especially little Jane!! So, help a girl out- whats the plan??

Oh and on the Saturday craft day, Tiff where and when is it? I would love to come if I can!!!

Molten Chocolate Cakes

I made these for dessert last night and they were so good.

1/2 C. unsalted butter, 3 ounces semisweet baking chocolate, 1 ounce bittersweet baking chocolate, 1/4 C. powdered sugar, 2 eggs, 2 egg yolks, 1/2 t. vanilla, 3 T. flour, pich of salt

1.Preheat oven to 450*. Butter and flour four ramekins and place on baking sheet.
2. Heat butter and chocolate on med-low power for 3 minutes in microwave. Stir and continue to heat in 30-second intervals on low until melted.
3. Beat sugar, eggs, and egg yolks on high speed for 8 minutes or until pale and light.
4. Whisk in melted chocolate. Whisk in vanilla, flour, and salt. Do not overmix.
5. Divide among ramekins. Bake for 13 minutes (With my oven they only needed to bake for 11 minutes), or until puffed but center still jiggles. Do not overbake.
6. loosen edges with a knife and invert onto individual plates. Serve hot with ice cream or whipped cream.

Beauty School Graduate

Amy had her big graduation! Some of her peers gave talks. One girl mentioned how they had to learn how to get out of their comfort zone and do challenging things. Amy has arrived being so involved and becoming a professional. We are all so pleased with her. She got a huge can of hair spray and is on her way. In three more weeks she will be done. GO AMY!!

seriously, I'm not one to complain about being pregnant this time around. We feel so blessed to be where we are after our trials of children and pregnancy... Having said that, I'm starting to struggle more and more. I seriously feel like I'm in the last few weeks rather than still having a month and a half to go. I LOVE LOVE LOVE feeling my little boy move. It gives me great peace and comfort (yes, I still stress about loosing him) but he likes to wedge himself in my ribs and kick my right boob and it really takes my breathe away at times. And then, I have some lower pains as if he is trying to come out now. So bad sometimes that I feel I cant walk (actually I really cant walk and my husband is oh so kind about it- NOT) So, is this normal.... I dont remember it being this bad this early with Julie!! Oh well, I just keep watching A baby story and working on his room, I couldnt be happier to live in misery during the holidays to see this beautiful baby boy and know he is healthy and well and MINE!!!! I'm down to a little over 6 weeks left now.....(if he comes when he is suppose to)

for your information

our neighborhood is having a community yard sale this saturday. I thought that I would let you all know (i love a bunch of yards sales all in one spot).

also i am not participating but if any of you want to have it at our house you are welcome to sale stuff here.

Cinnamon

Cinnamon

This spice could make your waistline nice. Sprinkling ¼ teaspoon on your food may prevent a post-meal insulin spike—this increase normally occurs after you eat and “signals the body that it should store fat rather than burn it,” explains Lauren Slayton, R.D., of New York City. Add a dash to your oatmeal, yogurt or coffee

Sacrament Meeting Funny

Today was our Primary Program so of course both Chloe and Elijah were in it. Each child in our ward gets a part to say. We were of course in the back because well, we always are. When Chloe got up to say her part we couldn't see her very well. Liam immediately pointed at the ceiling and yelled Chloe! He kept staring up trying to find her in the ceiling. Every time a child Liam knew spoke he would point to the ceiling and try to say their names, this includes all my kids friends. Very cute.

Anyone want a header?

This is Jamie.

I really want to practice what I learned in my classes.

Any want me to make them a header, button or blog background?

New Header and Button

I've been taking these Photoshop and Illustrator classes and I'm learning so many fun things

So I decided to practice on our blog. So I made a new header and our very own button!

If you want to put the button on your personal blog (it will look the same and when you click it it will come back to the hancock women blog) just email me or let me know and I"ll email it to you.

I would put it on here, but everytime I type it out it translates it and makes it a pictures. Go figure.

So Saturday?

So reading the comments I was thinking that saturday is going to work out the best. Let me know when you have school off aubs and we can plan it. Everyone that wants to come just let me know if that will work for you.

Celebrate!

Eliza turns 3 on Monday! Crazy I just cannot believe it! So to celebrate we are going to have a party at Gene Autry park this Monday Nov. 9th at 5:30! We will have food and a Pinata! Everyone is invited. It was such a hard time last year that this year I just want to have fun and relax. Eliza is so excited, she keeps talking about how she gets to blow out the candles! Plus Free will be making her cake!
