No Crickets Allowed!

This past week I have found more crickets in my home then I have ever seen in my entire life. I hate crickets. They are black and creepy looking, plus they make a chirping noise just as you are getting ready to fall asleep. This summer we had one sitting right outside our window that would chirp and chirp to his hearts content. I tried being optimistic about it and named him Ricky. I would nicely ask Ricky to stop chirping so I could sleep and occassionally he would actually concede. This past week I think Ricky has decided since he has a name, he has a home and has invited all his relatives and friends in to live as well.

Poor Jay gets home from work and there are upside down glasses with little cricket bugs under them, all over our house. His job is to get rid of the crickets. Jay even found one on me one night. I am not sure what to do, but I have to get the message across that crickets are not allowed in my home.

Wonderful Weekends

What a wonderful weekend! This weekend we had the opportunity to spend some much needed time together. I love my husband and he loves me. Oh puke gag. On Friday night we went to our wonderful friends (The Foutch's) and had dinner with them. Unfortunatly Katelyn has shown my husband what wifes are supposed to do, which is be creative and make amazing meals. She made a wonderful soup, that I have had as left overs twice now and rolls. I can't wait to try both these recipes out on my own soon.

Bryan and Katelyn then went to a movie and left us in charge of their adorable little girls, Lauryn and Brooklyn. We watched "Meet the Robinsons" a very cute and funny movie about inventions and the future with a little tie in to how wonderful families are. After trying to put Lauryn to bed Jay, Brooklyn (she is only 6 weeks) and I watched Psych". Which is possibly my new favorite show. It is about a guy who notices everything through paying attention to detail and solves crimes through this. However, the police won't listen to him so he claims he is psychic. It's hilarious. Once Bryan and Katelyn came home we shared a rousing game of pictionary where the girls totally creamed the guys. (This is my story and I well tell it how I want.) Check out Katelyn's blog for pictures of Jay's incredible Popemobile.

On Saturday I was able to convince my husband to take me to dinner. Nobody warned me that after we were married the dating would no longer exist. But I was finally able to trick him. I made him put on a pretty shirt and we headed out. We first had to stop at Bed Bath and Beyond for a heating pad, I am expirmenting to see what tricks might make my gall bladder feel better. So far, I got nothing. Anyhow, we got heating pad and headed to dinner. The Nectar is my new favorite restraunt. They catered an event we had at the hospital a few weeks back and Jay and I finally made it in for dinner. If you have not been there, I would recommend going. I have never had anything so good.

Today we went to Church and had a wonderful Sacrament meeting by the Primary children and I was sustained to the Nursery, the best calling in the Church. After church we started drying bananas in our newly acquired fruit dehydrator. I am so excited to have fresh dried fruit.

1: My most embarrassing moment:
While I was reporting in Idaho Falls I had the most embarrassing blonde moment. I was doing a story in Rigby, ID at the National Guard when I realized I locked my keys in the station car. I went to call my father to come help (I had done this many times with my own car so we happend to have a slim jim) when I realized my phone and the station phone were both sitting in the car. The locked car. I went in and asked if I could use the Commanders phone and he graciously let me. For some reason every time I tried calling out I would reach the head honcho dude in Boise. So the military guys all figured they could help me out. So out in front of the Local News 8 car 4 Army guys, in full uniform, tried breaking in. They couldn't do it so they called the Sherriff. He finally got the trunk open for me and there were no keys. We looked everywhere. I was freaking out. I stuck my hands in my back pocket thinking of what I could possibly do to fix the situation when I felt the key. Yep, that's right, in my pocket. I was so humiliated.

This is a weird one, but I am afraid of spiders, the dark and belly button lint. My uncle found this out several years ago and thought it was hilarious so he would go to the dryer and get the lint from the dryer vent and pull it from his bellybutton. All this just to watch me freak out.

Jack-o-latern dinner

It's been a long time since we have updated our blog. We are still alive and we have done many cool things. I, Camille, just returned from a design conference in Chicago, I will post pictures later. It was amazing. Even more amazing was that Jay survived without me. The house was even clean when I returned. He is so wonderful.

I decided I was going to try out my Mom's creativity and cook dinner in a pumpkin. It turned out wonderful. If any of you would like the recipe, just let me know. The food was great but cooking it and serving it in a pumpkin was what made it wonderful. Thanks for the recipe Mom! This is going to become a tradition in our home.
