A Wonderful Weekend

This weekend was great! My grandparents came down from St. George, I met Ryan's "daddy" Elder Clyde, and I went to a Highland High football game on Friday night.

I always love having my grandparents come down because they keep me company. It was a short visit, but great to see them! My poor little grandpa is in the process of getting teeth implants so we had a lot of soft food hangin around here for him. I can't wait until the whole process is done and he can be back to normal!

So after work on Friday I met Elder... I mean David Clyde! He was going to a wedding in West Jordan so we met at Ryan's parents house. It was really fun to talk to him and know that he was just with Elder Penman. He was a really nice guy, and he brought Sheila and I flowers and kissables from Ryan. It was very cute. I would have included a picture of meeting him, but I think that would have most likely freaked him out too much...Haha.

Friday night after I met Mr. Clyde I tagged along with Sheila and James and went to Highland Highs football game. For those of you that don't know, Ryan's dad is one of Highland's coaches and James films the games. It wasn't a very close game, Highland killed them! But it was fun to hang out with Sheila and hold Eva. It got kinda chilly about half-time and we knew highland was going to win so we just took off. Eva was such a good sport in the cold! We wrapped her snugly in a blanket but she wanted to be free so bad. I wish I would have brought my camera to take a picture of her!

Memory Monday- Spokane 2007

Since the infamous trip to Spokane is coming up soon, I thought I'd post some pictures of last years trip. Its always so much fun to go up and see my brother and his family! Last year we spent a lot of time on lake Coeur d'Alene, and its absolutely beautiful there. There's a restaurant right on the lake called Dockside, and my sister in law Jane's parents took us on a boat ride there. We rented a sweet red car to drive up and it was the first year with just me and my parents and that was fun but also kinda sad without Cass! So other than the 12 hour car ride which made me go a little crazy, I had a great time. This year Izzy is getting baptized and I'm glad I get to be there for that! It is also going to be pretty distressing knowing Elder Penman is only 25 minutes away from me! Ah!

Boredom Claims Another Victim

I'll probably regret posting these pictures later but I cannot help myself. They are pretty funny. I copied this from another blog, and its yearbookyourself.com. This is Ryan in 1976 and me in 1985!

Just a Little Update

I thought I should maybe make another post on whats going on right now in my life because it seems like its been a while!

Well where do I start... I am enjoying my time at Great Harvest, its still kinda new but I'm getting used to it. I usually slice/bag bread, make frosting and work at the counter. It is so fun to be able to take home bread at the end of the night and give it away to people! I love it. I also see lots of people I know each day so that is awesome! However, I'm going to start watching what I eat because its just too tempting and I eat a lot!

I'm still going to school at SLCC , and I'm not taking too many hard classes which is nice! I'm taking an aerobic/step class, children's literature, math for elementary teachers, and Mexican American culture. Hopefully my aerobics class will balance out how much bread I'm consuming daily.

This weekend we are taking care of my sister Meri's kids Brynlee and Kaleb. They are so freakin cute its not even funny. Bryn just toddles around jabbering in her own language, and Kaleb is satisfied punching holes in a paper and watching spiderman. Kaleb is the only person who enjoys my car, and I am fortunate to have that one person! Every time I get him buckled in his carseat he says, "this is a real fast car huh Shanni." I don't know where he gets this idea that sea foam is fast, and I am not a fast driver trust me. Especially not with precious cargo! But it may be because the windows have to be rolled down and wind rushing through the car makes it seem "fast."

Last night I went to Grandma Penman's house with Sheila to scrapbook and it was fun! I am starting a scrapbook of Ryan's mission, and hopefully I can make some cute pages. I am using lots of stuff that I inherited, thank you Tammy and Brandy!! If anyone wants to help me just let me know! All offers are welcome! I figure if I keep up to date with all of the pictures Ryan sends it won't be too hard to manage, right?

Okay, well that is pretty much all I can think of at this moment. Of course I had to post a picture of the two felines. No I'm not a crazy cat lady Jared! They are just cute.
