Hello Everyone!!!! I am trying to get this figured out! I think I have it. I am just going to figure out how to upload pictures. I thought I would give you a run down of how we are here. Neal has started his new job, but he still hasn't gotten the formal paper work to be moved to that position. He is still helping out with his old job too. He played a game with the youth Wednesday night where you have big, very big balls (like our green one downstairs) and you walk like a crab and try to score on your opponent. It was really fun, but I could not walk like a crab for very long without extreme soreness. Matthew is almost finished with swim. He is swimming for Breast Cancer today. His group painted their shirt as the Haboobs - after the dust storms :). He will get a pink swimmers cap for participating. He is practicing piano harder again. He kind of took a leave for a bit and I am not sure why. I am glad that he is up and going again though. He really loves it especially when he has a song he likes. Lauren and I are going to do some girl stuff this weekend. Neal and Matthew have a youth conference at Camp LoMia Thursday, Friday and Saturday. We are going to go get a new outfit for Brynn her Build a Bear and of course shop and eat. Lauren is going to be Dorothy for Halloween - if we can find a costume she likes. It is nice and cool here now. I am guessing that it means it is cold in Utah. The house is sometimes too quiet. I think I told you all we took out the stair railing that was in the green room and put in a wall. It looks so nice. We are going to put a gate at the top of the stairs. That should be coming next week. Then we got some new couches in the green room. I like them a lot. It is a couch, love seat, and a chair and ottoman. I got some material to cover that little seat that is by the kitchen table (hopefully I can send a picture). It is the one that is pink and blue southwest looking right now. I got the the same material as the window seat. I am hoping to get that done next week. I am in a fix up the house mode. I am liking school. I am trying to finish my classes early. They finish the first of December and I am hoping to have them done by the middle of November, a week before Thanksgiving. I am taking BPC110 and Eng 101. I have made some power point presentations and even a few excel spreadsheets. Following the directions in the book make it really easy.
I loved all the talks in conference. One of my favorite parts was when the Tabernacle Choir sang I Believe in Christ. I love that hymn. I think it is my favorite. I was thinking of the conference talks and thought what a powerful testimony Bruce R. McConkie left with writing that song. With the world going so much in the direction of denying Christ, I thought those words from the song are exactly how I feel. I thought I would never want anyone to wonder whether or not I believe in Christ. I want them to know that I do.
I thought I would share a twist on the Rhodes Roll recipes that I usually make. This is another fun way to make Parmesan Rolls. You can make them in a muffin pan. Soften the rolls a little and then cut or slice them in half. Grease the muffin pan and then put three of the little rolls in the muffin cup. So, it is like a roll and a half in each cup. Then put butter on the top and Parmesan and let raise and cook the regular way. It makes a really nice cloverleaf roll. I hope all is well with all of you! I love you all a lot!
