Tis the season FOR SNOWBOARDING!!!

My sister Josie and brother-in-law came to visit Lance and I all the way from Africa. So we took them snowboarding. (what else would we do?)

 

They were so excited to begin the day.

Josie was a little nervous but she did really good.

With a little help.

We took a break and had some lunch. Don't worry thats the just the appetizer. 

Chili cheese fries. Yum!

Roy did really well too. He looked nervous at first...

But caught on pretty well.

I was really proud of Lance. He did so good today. If you remember the last snowboard blog I did about laughing my butt off at him. He went from not being able to stand up..

...to actually being able to carve!

So he's still not perfect but he is really catching on.

I had a good time too.

I'm ready for my close up Mr. Director.

Christmas Is Coming The Goose Is Getting Fat!

We got Christmas stuff this year!! I love Christmas, Lance is ok with it. We got a Christmas tree this year. I'm so happy.

Isn't it beautiful. I love it.

Thanksgiving is a special time. Jimmy Walker used to say dynomite, Thats right!

We had a real good Thanksgiving up here in the burg.

The Little Red Hen played and intricate part in the success of our wonderful feast.

Who will help her make the dinner?

We had a tasty cheese ball for  an appi-teaser.

I was excited to use all the fancy dishes we got for our wedding. 

(...so I bought some nice green accent pieces. Good for Thanksgiving or Christmas.)

Who will help the Little Red Hen set the table?

(Do you like the headpieces The Little Red Hen brought for everyone)

What a spread!

Who will help the Little Red Hen eat the feast? ME!!!

(Ok so Kirsten and I did do alot of cooking and Lance and Amanda did alot of good cleaning I just didn't get any pictures)

Move Over Cake Boss

So we have been watching alot of cake boss lately. Its didn't look to hard to make the big fancy cakes on the show so we decided we'd make one ourselves. 

Here's Chef Lance.

Here is the finished product. I know I'm amazed by myself too.

This cake is 100% edible. It was delicious. I think Lance went a little overboard on the frosting though. I made two batches of butter cream frosting each had 2 lbs of powdered sugar and 2 lbs of butter. He used it all and tried to get me to make more. 

I made chicken pot pie today. It looks good and it tasted real real good. Yummy.

Then we made oreo cake for dessert. It was also really really yummy.

Good job me.

I made this hat for Lance. Except ITS HUGE!! Its crocheted and fleece lined. It looks really awesome except that its a little to big.

Well for the past few weeks I have been every busy.  The company I work for is opening a new store in Provo, UT.  I originally went down there to do some painting around the doors. My boss got the idea from a restaurant in Vegas.  I did designs with bottle caps in the center then dots coming out around them. I think they turned out pretty cool.

This is a picture of the owner riding a rocket ship. Its kind of blurry. I couldn't get it to focus very well.

After the painting I did some graphic work for them. We did alot of stuff in vinyl. These are suposed to represent the walk of fame. We put owners and investors names and names of our pizza on them.

Here is a wall mural I helped paint.

This is the kitchen. Its HUGE in comparison to the kitchen we work in here in Idaho. Its a nice location. Lance has actually been working down there for the past couple of weeks.

This is the pasta bar. Yummy. Lance installed it.

This the an area we call the Back Porch. Its a cute little area.

Lance installed the salad bar.
