Bubbles

I love bubbles. The kids in nursery love bubbles. Apparently my kitchen floor also loves bubbles. I walked into my kitchen to put away a kitchen towel and noticed my floor was covered in bubbles. I had started the dishwasher about 30 minutes prior so the suds had been mulling for a while before they started gushing onto my needing to be cleaned kitchen floor. I actually looked at the situation and smiled. My floor, under the dishwasher was being cleaned! I am so excited about that. Now everthing is clean. Happy Wednesday to me.

In Love

Well folks, it's happened. I am in love. Sorry Jay, but it's not you. I would like to thank Katelyns Mom for introducing us. We have spent every night together since we first met and I can't get enough of it. I happened to introduce my family to it and they insisted on it joining us each night as well. Thank you for introducing me to this wonderful hot fudge. I am concerned it may turn on me one day and stay with me more than I would like, especially around my hips, but for the time being we could spend every waking moment together.

Thanksgiving Week in Review

What a wonderful Thanksgiving break. I was able to spend time with my husband and my family, two things I can never get enough of. Greg and Britt finally had their so my parents came to spend time with their new beautiful granddaughter. My dad snuck away a few times to go visit Anilyn claiming he was getting WD40 for my squeeky door. I put up my Christmas Tree and decorations (finally! I've been ready since Halloween). I love this time of year, everyone is so nice and chipper.

While my family was here we made a trip down to Lewiston to look at the lights. My mom LOVES Christmas lights and her favorite thing to do is drive around looking at them. She was in awe of the lights at Locomotive Park.

We spent Thanksgiving with the Rigby's this year. It was a blast. We ate dinner at 2 when the turkey was supposed to be done, but the turkey didn't join us until 5. I actually have decided this is the best way to enjoy Thanksgiving dinner. We ate tons at 2, had pie at 3, had turkey and stuffing at 5. I never felt over stuffed and I was able to enjoy all my favorites. We played lots of games and I somehow Steve and I tied in Dominoes. He cheats though, so really I won.

My favorite part of the week was Black Friday. I love shopping and somehow getting up at 3:30 a.m. doesn't bother me this one day a year. I wasn't that impressed with the ads this year, but that didn't stop me from standing in freezing cold lines waiting to get in the stores. I don't think Jay would have married me if he would have known what he was getting into.

Baby Anilyn

After 9 long, miserable months Greg and Britt finally had their baby. I just wanted the little baby to come out and play with her aunt Camille but Britt insisted that she "wasn't done yet". On Wednesday afternoon she was finally done. I am a very proud aunt of two beautiful little girls, Evelyn and Anilyn. I wish Evelyn were closer so I could play with her, but at least I have one little girl to love.

Tribute to the Foutches

I would just like to make a tribute to the Foutches. They introduced us to the most amazing show, Psych. It is 11:16 p.m., way past my bedtime. I am usually asleep, not just in bed, but asleep by 10 p.m. But tonight, I am still awake, all because of Psych. We love it. Might be a little bit addicted, but hey, at least it's a good show :)

Frisbee Golf

Lately my wonderful husband has been playing frisbee golf with one of our friends, Brian. Last night I told him he had to take the camera with him and take pictures so I could scrapbook them. He looked at me like I had grown a third head. Apparently he doesn't understand how important scrapbooking is and why I need documentation of everything. I figure that it's become a part of his life and we need to have it recorded for our kids. So he reluctantly took the camera with him. He may look like he is picking his nose or eating a sucker, but I believe he is licking his finger to check the direction of the wind. What a geek! Thanks for entertaining him Brian!

Fall Frenzy

Last Sunday we convinced my best friend (next to my Mom) to take our pictures for our family Christmas cards. Some of you may be thinking "What?! She doesn't have them done yet?" while others are thinking "Girl, it's only the first of November, you have at least a month before you need to be thinking about this." Well, for those of you who are thinking I'm behind, they are done. I just need to address the envelopes and wait until December to mail them out. For those of you are thinking I can wait, I am waiting until December 1. I love holidays.

Well, Thanksgiving is alright, but I LOVE Christmas. I love the feeling of Christmas, I love the decorations and gift giving. But what I love most is decorating the tree. Weird, yes, but then I can start wrapping presents and putting them under the tree and oh, it just gives me chills. Last year my roommate, Morgan, made me wait until after Halloween to put up my tree, which would mean if she still lived here, I would be putting it up right now. My my new roommate, Jay, aka my husband, tells me "No"! Can you believe it?! He won't let me put my tree up until after Thanksgiving. I don't understand. The mall is already decorated for Christmas, why can't my house? Needless to say we had to come to a compromise. So right after Thanksgiving dinner I get to put up my tree. :)

Anyhow, we took our family pictures which ended up in a leaf fight. But hey, we had fun. You will be seeing some of these pictures in the Christmas card yet to come. Check your postal boxes on December 3 for the first installment of the Rigby Family Christmas Card.

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.

4. Let them know they've been tagged by leaving a comment at their blogs...So here goes:

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.
