Requests for a new post!

So my girlfriends and I (this is Debbie writing by the way, not Eric) have a girls night every month and yesterday was my turn. We did some Papier-mâché and some other stuff like fixing my hair- I love it when people play with my hair! Other activities included looking at Carol's belly. She is due any day now and is about to pop!


After Kasey did my hair I slept in it and wore it to school today. It still looked good on day two. I wore the twist but next time she'll need to leave me with the braid because that one is pretty too.



And today was my first floral arranging class! We made bouquets but I brought it home and put it in a vase. If Carol has her baby really soon I'll make a bouquet for her. Would you like that Carol? I didnt arrange it in the vase really yet since I might split it but the flowers are so pretty.



And Kasey requested that I add these pics from the last girls night.





Also I am loving my classes. I am taking ceramics (I can't stop thinking about clay!), floral design, indoor plants, clogging and environmental microbiology. Clogging is truly the best exercise out there. I dont have a video of me doing it, but I taped someone else in the class doing our first solo dance. Here it is. (I cant seem to get the words to line up with the pictures so hopefully you figured it out)

Eleanor Rigby - The Newest Niece

My older brother Derek and his wife Aynna just added to their family with a baby girl: Eleanor. She is cute as a button but has much more hair than any button I've ever seen. Debbie was on a pheasant (or was it peasant?) hunting trip in Colorado this weekend so I went up to the baby blessing alone, but it was fun to see her and to hang out with Jonah.

Jonah was being a stink on the playground, but this picture makes it look like he's just some sweet little angel.



Me and Eleanor.


What a little baby. Literally.


That's what I'm talking about.


I got video footage of Eleanor's earliest signs of vanity: she smiles when I compliment her. Press here to see it. Or die.

This is a bonus video of the booger Quincy ignoring me and looking good doing it. Click here or also die.

Shark!!

So for Labor Day weekend we thought it would be fun to make a movie. Eric came up with the idea to do a Jaws mockumentary and so we got an HD camera from BYU and made this. Hope you think it's funny.

Have you ever heard of a FREE FARMERS MARKET?

So I already posed the question, but I will re-ask: Have you ever heard of a free farmers market? Farmers markets are really fun. They have so many different types of vegetables, that are fresh from the garden, and are sometimes cheaper than the grocery store. The thing that most people like about them is that the food is grown locally and is organic.

Well to answer the main question, Yes, I can now say I have. Mike Rigby's garden. He is the most generous gardener I think I know and extremely talented. His veggies range from the traditional to the uncommon. The free farmers market is now located on my kitchen floor! I picked veggies for about 2 hours (with the help of Cambria, Mike and Aynna) and brought home at least 200 lbs in veggies. Our car was a little weighed down. I have already given between 1-5 shopping bags full of veggies to 14 people and still have a little bit left.


So if you want some, get creative- learn a new recipe and try something new. Grab a few veggies and try it out.

I made salsa two nights, and it was so delicious we already ate it all.

Now for the pictures!













Not bad eh? It was probably worth at least a couple hundred and was at least 200-300 lbs.

Specials thanks to Mike, Aynna, Eric, Jordan, Jordan's roommate, Hillary, Stacey (and her 3 friends), Caleb, Chris, two of our nieghbors, us and Ligia (for being vegan and taking a lot!) for helping us eat this food!
