Dr. Oz

Emily had the opportunity to go with Emily's friend Emily to a Dr. Oz event in Colorado. If you're a girl, you probably know who Dr. Oz is, because he is the medical expert on Oprah. He is really amazing, intelligent and entertaining. Emily came home with a new outlook on having my family live a more healthy lifestyle. Nick said, "I've been telling you for years that the kids need to eat more healthy, but Dr. Oz tells you once and you listen?" He says that 70% of our health depends on the choices we make everyday. It was a great lecture, and I'm so glad I got to attend. If you want information on Dr. Oz, Here's the link.

Sidney Nebreska

Nick has been encouraging Isaac to pick a sport to play, but I am just not interested at all. I am really good at bowling on the wii, in fact, he gets turkeys(3 strikes in a row) very frequently. So Emily decided that I'd like to try bowling as his sport of choice. This was not Nick's idea of a cool sport, but wanted to give Me a shot. We had planned to go bowling here in Cheyenne last Thursday, but Nick ended up working late and we weren't able to go. We decided to go yesterday, so we loaded up and drove to the local bowling alley. We got there and the parking lot was overflowing, we walked in and the place was packed with people in halloween costumes. We came home and called the bowling alleys in Laramie, but they were booked up with "Bowling for the Cure". We called Ft. Collins, CO., but they had parties and leagues all day. Nick decided that we could drive the 100 miles to Sidney, Nebraska to go bowling and visit Cabela's. It was the kid's first time bowling, and they had a lot of fun and were very well behaved. None of us broke 100 points, and we were using bumpers(it's a lot easier on the wii!). After our game of bowling, we went to Cabela's, it is huge! The kids enjoyed eating at the cafe, watching the fish, and looking at the animal displays. I asked each family member what their favorite part of the day was, and these are their answers:
Savannah- "I liked the rainbow trout." She loved the aquarium with the different species of fish. We were there looking at fish for 30 minutes, and she still didn't want to leave.
Sophia- "My favorite part was the big huge elephant."
Isaac-"I liked the bowling alley, and getting to pick a treat from the vending machine."
Emily-The best part of the trip for me was buying a cute necklace at Cabela's. I also like spending time with the family and seeing the kids happy.
Nick-The best part for me was coming home."

Bowl Me Over Cupcakes

I wanted to make bowling cupcakes, so Emily told him if he was good for the primary program and did a good job on his part we could make them. He did a fairly good job sitting still on the stand, and said his part pretty clearly. It is always a risk getting him in front of a microphone, so we were expecting the worst. A few months ago he gave a talk in primary on prophets, Emily was helping Me out and he was reading along nicely, then he yelled very loudly, "Joseph Smith was an American!!" Mommmy guesses I behaved well enough during the program to deserve the cupcakes. This was a big project and Emily ended up making them by myself because I lost interest. Next time Emily bribe him, Mommy will make My reward something more simple.

Emily's Boring Murder Mistrey Halloween

Nick and Emily are in a dinner group with some of their great friends, it's so nice to have some adult time to just talk and enjoy each other's company. October was our month to host, and Emily thought since it was so close to Halloween, it was the perfect opportunity to dress up and play a murder mystery game. It was a lot of fun and even the boys were good sports and went all out on their costumes and got into their role playing. The mystery was called "Murder in the Haunted House." There were 8 rounds of scripts and clues, in the end nobody guessed who the killer was (except the murderer himself). Everyone was assigned a character and given costume suggestions to play their roles. The characters were:
Frank Stine (aka Marty Matson)
Carrie Coffins (aka Angie Matson

Savannah ans Sophia Butterflies

I said they were Butterfly Costumes.

Halloween Spooky Cookies

I and Emily found these spooky cookies online and after watching the short instructional video, made them with ease. I and Emily love baking together, it's our bonding time. As you can see, My favorite part of the baking project was licking the frosting bowl. I did Some Piano Lessons by myself so we could Make these Cookies.


We used Mike and Ike Skittles M&ms to decorate

Emily's Evening of Culture on September

My calling at church is 1st counselor in the Young Women's program, Emily get to meet with the 14 and 15 year olds every Sunday and Wednesday. Last Night the girls planned a food around the world activity, each of us picked a country and brought a food dish from that country. We gave a brief report about the church in that particular country. We had a fun, educational evening and the food was really good. I called my brother Darin who had served a 2 year mission in Dominican Republic and asked him for any suggestions. He had several good ideas, but Emily went with the easiest one(that didn't involve goat meat), fried plantains. Fried plantains are the Dominicans version of our french fries, dipped in ketchup and everything. They were surprisingly delicious and easy. Gemma gave us a detailed report on Norway, and made Norwegian Lefse, they were good too, it was kind of like a tortilla or crepe. Kelsey made a pasta salad from Italy, which I had to get the recipe for, it was divine! For dessert, Amber treated Emily and Kelsy to German chocolate cake, of course her Country was Germany. I really enjoyed researching Dominican Republic and hearing all about the other countries, it went so well, that I thought when we come home for Christmas we could do this as a family, are you in?

Emily's Ballots have Been Cast

Today Nick called and said he had a break for lunch and asked if we wanted to meet him at our favorite Mexican restaurant, I just love going out to lunch, and Emily thought it sounded like a great idea. Sophia and Savannah are at such a cute age, Sophia always has a purse in tote, and Savannah always wants lipstick. They like to get out and it's fun to take them places. The girls and I were sitting at the table waiting for Nick to arrive and I was having a nice conversation with Sophia. She was very talkative and full of stories to tell. Out of the blue she said, " When we eat lots of snacks our tummies get bigger and bigger, and if we just eat a couple of snacks, our tummies get smaller and smaller." Then she looks at me and said, "You eat a lot of snacks, so your tummy is bigger." Well, that could have spoiled my lunch date, but the chips and salsa were just too good!

2 BIG Accidents

Isaac is usually such a sweet kid, that minds his business and doesn't do too much harm. This week has been different, a few days ago he broke our big screen TV by punching the screen with the wii controller. He said "It was an accident." We didn't really discipline him because Nick and I both talked about it and decided that we weren't perfect as kids either and we broke a few things too. Well today he threw a rock at a window in the front of our house and shattered it. I had been outside playing with all of the kids, but had just brought the girls inside. I heard a crash and knew right away what it was. Isaac bolted into the house and to his bed, he knew he was in trouble! He said "It was just an accident." I said, if you pick up a rock and throw it, it's not just an accident! I was pretty upset, but managed somehow not to beat him! Nick took it in stride and told me to make a list of jobs he has to do to earn the money to fix the window. I wonder if Isaac is old enough to clean toilets?? I sure hope there are no more accidents this week!
