I've been MIB (missing in blogging)

OK well you have probably wonderer what has happened to me.  We had the Orr party and Jana told me I had better start blogging so here I am.  I actually lost my camera this fall so I have been a horrible blogger but I am back with a contest of sorts.  We had our annual gingerbread house decorating.  Brenan, Alli's and Kadens were not so good.  Brenan ruined their's and Kaden got a little carried away and overloaded his till it fell apart.  We have Matt & Kandice's and Kendall & Rachels.  I cannot pick the winner so I am asking you bloggers out there to pick the winner.  You have until Christmas day to make your choice.  The first two pictures are # 1 and second two are # 2 so make your choices.  Leave your pick in your comments.  I know there is probably a technical way to do this but I am not that smart so just do it this way.  I will post more pictures later but I can't post them or you will know who's houses belong to who.  Thank you I am sure no one will sleep around here until we know the winner. 

HaPpY bIrThDaY oLd MaN!!

I have to wish Dave a happy 45th birthday this morning. He doesn't have a very good birthday if you are a potatoe farmer. The last couple of years we have finished before his birthday. This year we were supposed to finish way before but because of good old mother nature that didn't happen. He did get the best birthday present in the world and that was finishing yesterday at 6:30. Dave you are great!!! You make me life a laugh a minute. You keep everyone laughing and we love you for it. You are a great husband. You work hard and provide everything we need and want. You are the best and I am very lucky to call you mine. Love you!!!! hope you have a great day.

WE ARE DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone that has dug potatoes before knows that that is all that needs said. WE ARE DONE!!!!!!

Happy Birthday Kandice!!

We celebrated Matt's girlfriends birthday today. Rachel made a delicious dessert. We of course had to make her blow out her candles. Kandice we hope you had a great birthday!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!

A few more pics

Hey there are a few more family pics on Destiny's blog. I absolutely love the distressed one and the one in the grain field. Thanks again Destiny. You are making it hard to pick!!

Football feeding

Last Thursday it was my turn to feed the varsity football team. I can't believe I forgot my camera. I did the turkey wings that you see people grawing on at the fair. I figured that would be a good meal for those big burley football players. I also made funeral potatoes. I did two huge aluminum pans, the big pans from Sam's Club. The butter wouldn't quit dripping in my ovens. It was totally smoking us out of the house. I finally called Sha'Nell and asked if I could finish them at her house. Three huge cookers of turkey legs and two huge pans of potatoes. I was tired of hauling food around. We had it at the high school. It was good. The boys seemed to like it. A couple other moms helped bring salads and desserts. It was a good meal. After the dinner Kaden had his JV game. They haven't won yet this year. They have been within one touchdown on all except one game. They lost tonight by 6. Brenan had his game Friday. It was not good. After coming off their win last week against Preston we were excited but IF kicked our butts. I guess the turkey legs were not the lucky meal. I love football I just hope we can start winning a few more games.

Picture Sunday

Well what a weekend. Yes we were still cutting grain but we luckily finished on Tuesday. My niece Destiny moved from Texas to Utah. She is into photography so I asked her if she would be interested in doing our family pictures. She said she would so her family came up this last weekend. We went to church on Sunday and then took take and bake pizzas up to LeeRayes and cooked them for lunch then the photo shoot began. She did an absolutely wonderful job. We went down behind LeeRaye's and then came out and did some in the grain field. I am excited for the pictures. I think they turned out great even though her subjects probably weren't the best and probably drove her a little crazy. Oh well she should be used to Dave's humor since her dad's is a little similar. Anyway I only have the raw photos on my computer and I am sure she wants them all fixed before anyone sees them. She posted a few on her website so if you want to see our family photos go to my side bar and click on Destiny LaSeur's blog. She took over 300 pictures. We had a lot of fun!!! Thanks Destiny, you were the greatest!!! It was also fun to see her husband Gordon and her two cute kids Lyndon and Madeline.
