So Work is going really slow... So slow that I am not working right now... Of course it is sunday night.

I can't believe the Packards are posting the majority on this blog!! What has happened??

We just finished a pan of peanut butter rice crispy treats, cupcakes, vanilla/chocolate swirl bunt cake, blue berry muffins, supreme pizza, lasagna (home made), brussel sprouts, soup, croisants, french bread, celery, orang juice, chicken nuggets, and all I gotta say is... I love fast Sunday!!!

Mmmm

I write to you today to share a beautiful, easy, delectable, delight I have discovered. By easy, I mean easy to make, easy to eat, easy to make you fat with..... What is this treasure of which I speak? No bake cookies. "What?", you say. "We have treasured these long." Ahhhh, but have you ever tried them frozen. "WHAT!?" Frozen you say. Yes, frozen. I froze the remainder of our last batch, so as not to waste or eat them. What I later discovered was a treat I could not put down. I caution you if you are to attempt this. Have someone ready to intervene on your behalf. Also, use only the 3 cups of oats the recipe says. More will make them too hard. There is no need to thaw this divine treat. Remove from the freezer, pop in your mouth, enjoy.

He He He

I just want you all to know that I got to talk to Justin and Jodi again...Yeah!!!! I must sadly admit however that our conversation was cut short by what is surely the inability of my phones to work...grrrrrr!!!! They could hear me totally fine, but I could hear like, um nothing...grrrr again. They however were very patient (especially Jodi). Thank you for that (I'm thanking both of you). Our conversation was something like "what, what did you say? Something about temple? What What, something about water...wow you guys are sure patient (that was me saying that to them). Well, I love you! Call me again when my phones work." I'm sure it was a little different for them. Either way it totally made my night! Oh yeah, I also got that they just ate lunch with day old bread. Egg salad sandwiches, yum. I never did get the thing about the oven. I love you my Chinese speaking brother and sister! I miss you! Have a fantastic rest of your day! To the rest of you who are not Chinese speaking, I love you just as much!

Posting just to Post

So, I'm getting bored of signing on to the blog and having nothing to read, so I thought I best do my part. Let me start with the most exciting things first...are you ready...so awesome...President Monson just announced a temple to be built in Payson. For those of you who don't understand how awesome that is...It will literally be like four minutes away...see...I told you...AWESWOME! I'm pretty sure this will up temple attendance in our area (I know for the rest of you who have to travel quite some distance to go to the temple this could seem ridiculous, after all we are within 45 minutes of 5 other temples. Non the less in our imperfections we will rejoice greatly in this new development.)

Well, now there really is nothing exciting left. Julia is pretty sick with what appears to be the flu. Not really sure. She has super high fever terrible cough, runny nose and way lethargic. My big goal today has been to keep her hydrated. I pretty much tried everything, including giving her water through a syringe. It was kind of touch and go for a while after she refused the syringe, until I found an old otter pop in the freezer. It was magic. After she downed it I called a friend and bummed some otter pops off of her. Julia ate like five right off the bat. Then another friend brought over some gatorade, so I made gatorade ice cubes. She only ate a couple but some is better than nothing...we are so not doing the hospital thing this year! Well, here is to hoping all of your lives are doing well and that I get to hear about it. Oh yeah, one more super exciting thing, I got to talk to Justin and Jodi on Skype...It was Fantastic and you should totally be jealous...he he he. Love You!
