Survey opportunity

I know some people like it when they can make a few bucks from taking surveys. This is my #1 recommendation. I have made at least $50 from them, probably more. You get $3 for each survey you complete and you get about a survey every other week or so.
They want more people, so if you are not flaky, and would like to do it, here is the info they gave me.
Dear DEBBIE:


PineCone Research is growing and we invite you to help! We are offering select members the opportunity to recommend membership to a friend or relative who is NOT a member of their household.

More flowers!

I took these pictures for kim, but figured Id just put them on the blog too so that I dont have to take more pictures. Here are my two flower arrangements for this week. A little table on and a big table one. Halloween colors are apparently orange and purple this year so lots of purple. The big one in the pumpkin turned out pretty cool and I am excited to put it on my table at home. Smells good!



Now I have to figure out how to carry this to my car without my arms breaking all in one run! Wish me luck!

Apple Pie!

So yesterday I made my first ever all from scratch apple pie! I went next door and picked the apples, found a recipe online, and made it. I usually don't love the homemade version of apple pie (The store bought version is my favorite pie), but I think that my pie turned out really great and I am pretty proud of it.

(This shirt was one of my lost and found purchases- Price $1)

This new tablecloth was also a lost and found purchase (Price $1.25) I'm pretty happy with it. I think it might be the exact same one my mom has and always uses. I had to fold it in fourths to fit on our table.
You might have noticed on the table my beautiful flower arrangement? This one is by far my favorite one that I have done so far by far! It is a cube design and I think it is absolutely beautiful!




Since I am the last lab of the week we also get to take home extra flowers. I was able to get enough flowers to make 3 more bouquets. So I gave two away and kept one for us. So FUN! (Eric if you read this, please remember how much I love flowers for future years when Im not bringing so many home)
We also went to see Thriller. The oddesy dance company does a dance all around Utah with halloween themed dances. It was really fun and neat to see. The picture is a little fuzzy, but oh well.


Im also trying to learn the wheel in ceramics and boy is that frustrating. I had no clue how hard it would be! But hopefully all this time I spend throwing will make me good at it and I can get some good ceramic pieces out of it!

Felindee Rap

So we tried so hard to have this done before the end of Feliz and Indee's birthday (Eric's two sisters), but Debbie didn't get out of school til 7 pm and we finished filming and editing at 11:38 pm. We made it! But then it took 75 minutes to upload onto YouTube so it wasn't ready for sharing until Oct 12th. Oh well. We tried!

Happy Birthday Feliz and Indee! Hope your days were magical!


Love,
Eric and Debbie

P.S. On a sidenote, Eric went out this morning to drive to school and someone had stolen his windshield wipers! Ridiculous! I hope stuff getting stolen doesn't become a trend!

Carol's baby

So I guess I never got around to posting about Carol's new baby Kohen. She hasn't posted a new blog yet either, so I thought I'd beat her to the punch. He is already two weeks old. Good Job Carol! He is cute as a button! (Just as your baby shower suggested he would be!)




We took her donuts and flowers.


This is the arrangement I made of the bird wings that I brought home from hunting. I think it looks kinda cool and is a great Halloween decoration.


After we found the conference tickets.

And this is our primary class minus one kid (Jason). I gave them all flowers either for their hair or boutonnieres. You can tell each of their personalities from this picture I believe. Also as a side note, they are sixth graders! Crazy! Don't they seem tiny?

Wendy comes to visit!

We were privileged this past week to have a visitor! WENDY! We had a lot of fun. We went camping, hiking, eating, visiting, and to general conference. Overall it was a GREAT week! Thanks for coming Wendy!
We had tin foil dinners that turned out really divine!

And the leaves were changing colors and the weather was nice! (Not the cold and snowy 30 degrees that we have now!)



We got some new cool pink and green camp chairs. Now we own 6 chairs total. Thanks Wendy.


We also hiked bridal veil falls and I thought the picture needed a little something to make it more valuable in 30 years.


And Conference was fun and we got to sit really close. I had a horrible cold, but it was minimal during conference. A great blessing! Im sure those around us would have been really mad if I was coughing and blowing my nose every 30 seconds (Which I WAS doing right before and right after- and still am doing even almost a week later!)
Come visit again!
