One Halloween Party down and one to go!!!



Our Primary did a Halloween Party for all the kids in the ward. Since I am in the Primary Presidency, Let me just say, it was a long day for "T". We had to be there at 930 am to set up everything. We had a couple tables for decorating pumpkins, tables for decorating cupcakes, tables for decorating picutre frames, (we made them out of paper.:) and a spot for taking pictures of the kids in their costumes as you can see my kids. Isn't that backdrop to die for? Our secretary of the primary, Shandra, made that. It doesn't do it justice in the picture. It was amazing. She is amazing! Anyway. We also had a Cotton Candy Machine that was the HIT of the party. Tara another of the presidency, who is pregnant and had both her boys there tugging at her the whole time, kept up with the crowd. Amazing! Then our President Angela, was working the whole thing with probably 2 hours of sleep or less from the night before. This is why they made her President. She pulled of the party without a hitch. A good time was had by all. And we got home after cleaning up everything just in time to hop in the shower and get dressed to go to a baptism. LONG day indeed! Halloween is just around the corner, and my kids are just chomping at the bit for some more candy. YIKES!

Thanks for reading those that do. It makes it more worth while to post, but honestly I just do it for me. It is almost relaxing and theraputic to do this. Maybe this is my way of keeping a journal. My mom has always been the dedicated one to write everything down that happened and I just never caught that bug. Although I am reticent now I didn't, I believe that this could most likely quite compare to a journal for me. So YEA ME!

Don't you know who I am? I was on TV!!!!

Howdy HO!!!

Look at us. Okay, so it isn't ALL that cool, but seriously folks... I was on TV! So a little background on the scoop. On a lovely fall day in October 23, 39 years ago, there was a beautiful daughter born to the proud and loving couple Susan and Ron Funk! Okay... you get the picture...

So yesterday was my sister Stephanie's birthday and Melanie had this wonderful idea to suprise her with taking her to her most favorite show "GOOD THINGS UTAH" on channel 4.

At first when I heard she tapes and watches this show everyday, I had a small eency weency thought of WHY? But after attending this show for my sister's birthday suprise, it was finally clear to me.

We had such a good time, I want to go back and do it again! The ladies that you see in the picture host the show and all 4 of them are so great. We even got presents from some of the guests they had on the show. A pearl necklace, some pumpkin bread from Kneeders and a gift card to Torrid.

I love it! Thanks steph for having a birthday for one, and for getting me hooked on this program!!

Pumpkins...Pumpkins.... who's got the pumpkins?





I had a couple days off of work so I decided to take the kids out to the pumpkin patch in South Jordan to get some pumpkins. They have a corn maze there for the kids, as well as all these tractors to sit and play on. My kids go out to this pumpkin patch every year with Charie, our friend who babysits the kids while I am at work. So they are more than familiar with the surroundings. It is I who got the lesson on the way things work at the pumpkin patch. I guess that is the price you pay for being a working mom. Your kids get to do all sorts of fun things with the babysitter, :) So I am more than blessed to have Charie in my life!
