Sooo Cool!

Park Party

Today my work had an activity at Sugarhouse park. We went a played squash ball volleyball, Dangle balls, bored games, and went for a walk around the park. I hope everyone had fun and enjoyed the park as much as I did.

This is Mary and I setting everything up at the park.
This is Melodie and she would kill me if she knew this picture was one here.
This is Ed, Jeri, Mike, and Loleni ready to hit the ball back over the net.

It was such a nice day. Thanks to the best team ever for a fun filled day at the park.

Free Red Box rental codes.

Every Monday I get a free rental at Redbox and I thought I would share today's code with you. This code will expire at midnight on September 15 type in 2THS48 and you will a free 1 night rental. Must return by Tuesday before 9:00 pm and you will get it for free. If you want to get a free rental any other night you can just Google red box codes and find a free one that way. Good idea for family nights! Happy Free Movie watching!

Finally!

Finally we have the Internet at my house so I can blog more often! Yay! I know that you all can't wait to hear more about my life. I am excited to hear the Mary and Annalisa both have blogs now so I can catch up on their lives. Here is what I have been up to this past week.

Saturday was our first official meeting for the "Bunco Bella's" this is a group of 12 friends and I that get together once a month to play Bunko. Jeremy calls it Relief Society Gambling, but we all call it freakin' fun! I'm said to say I didn't get Bunko once and I never got to wear the Princess crown. However I did almost win the "Loser spot" but Nat won me (well I guess lost to me) in our "roll off" so she took the prize for the biggest loser! Christine won the game over all and the Camille took won the Bunko prize with 5 Bunko's in one game.

This is the only picture I have of Bunko, to see more go to my link Let's go, GNO!

Friday night we were going to go camping, but then Sam and Bath were going to ditch us so we just decided to do a camp fire. It was really fun and cold. We ate dinner roasted Marshmallow's, listen to Bath play his guitar and sing to us, and get attacked by a crazy wild cat. Thanks guys for the awesome night, Jer and I had a lot of fun.
Annalisa this picture is for you, I hope Chris has gotten all that stuff out from his teeth by now.
This is for the two boys that didn't want to smile as I took their pictures. Why bath looks so wasted I have no idea, he was only drinking Stewart's.
Last Sunday we had the Oborn's over for dinner at my Mom's house. Sorry again to everyone that I didn't bring a Salad. The Oborns have been our life-long friends and I hope that they will continue to be. It was fun to get all back together, unfortunately we were missing Laurie and Adam, so we need to get together with everyone again and take a big group photo.
This is a picture of my Niece Addison, she is too cute and this was a fun picture that I just had to post. I love you lil' boots!
This is Jody, we are 3 days apart. She has one baby boy Cannon, who is super cute, and pregnant with a baby girl named Mylee. She is so cute and I love Jody it was so nice to spend time with her again I just wish she lived closer! We live like and hour away from each other. I think that we need to have parties like this more often. What does everyone else from the clan think? Up for another BBQ where I bring a Salad?

Lagoon and spa night

Here is a quick catch up on my amazing life. Sorry I haven't posted but I'm sure you will get over it!

My mom and my sisters invited me to go get Mani's and Pedi's. It was a lot of fun and a great night away from our husbands. Everyone got their feet done and I got my nails done, but we all turned out super cute.

The flowers were so cute on our toes! Sorry for those of you who don't like feet.
Jer and I went to Lagoon for his work party a couple of week ago. Here is us riding the white roller coaster. Here is us on the fire dragon at lagoon. With Adam and Jess behind us!

Girlfriends on the Go!

Today my Sisters, my Mom, and I all got together to exchange/make dinner for the month. This is probably the best way to cook. All you need to do is 1. Go shopping at the Costco and buy all the food in the picture below. 2. Invite 4 girlfriends to come and spend the afternoon cooking. 3. turn on some good tunes and rock out while cookin'. You do need to plan out an entire day for this for it will take a long time and you will get tired. (we suggest to leave children with their father)

The day started out at the Costco, I mostly just watched my mom figure out what we needed while I did a little food tasting. (Hey I got some GOOD wheat bread). After that we headed home for a fun day of cooking. Now if you know me at all you must know that Kelli in the kitchen is a bad idea. Be not afraid for I was being supervised by my Mother and 3 knowledgeable relief society women. I thought with all four of them around it was impossible to mess things up ..........Right?

Here is what we brought home from the grocery store. As all five of us stood gazing at this bulk of food on the table I thought to myself, " Are you kidding me? This is going to take FOREVER, Where do we even start? Maybe I could fake sick, take a nap, wake up and it would be all done"

I knew my mother would not let me get a way with that. I then rememberd that I was told once that I was a strong Edman women and I can do anything I put my mind to so suck it up and just do it (of course that was on Trek during the Woman's pull). So I pulled out some strength and we went to work on this HUGE task that laid before us.

Well, by the time we got the pot's heated up and our booty's in gear we were having a grand ole' time! We danced, sang, and laughed all day long. Seriously I felt like I was in a musical about cooking dinner. Mom was our "lead chef" She would walk around shooting orders and throwing food at us and telling us what item went with what dinner. We were really organized and everything seemed just to flow. We would cook about 2-3 dinners at once, on person would write on the bags what to do with the dinner when you are ready to cook. Another person would be cutting chicken (Jessica your the champ), vegetables, or rolling out dough.

This is Nat making Ham and Cheese Casserole. She is also getting her groove on to some 80's music we jammed out to.

We all worked together so well and had so much fun. The only down fall was crying babies, but thanks to Pappy and Travis the kids were kept busy for the last 2 hours of us cooking dinners.

Here Nat is making a Cheesy Rigatoni Bake and Katie is baking Beef and Cheese Quesadillas

Here Jessica is making Pizza Braids.

This is my Mom smashing something, I honestly not know what we put that in. But, Look how cute my wonderful Mommy is.

See, like I said these 4 great women in the kitchen with me and nothing could go wrong..... My Mom left to go do something and Katie told me to put 6 cups of cheese into the egg mix. So like a good sister I grabbed a big measuring bowl looked out the side and yep I saw the number 2. Perfect I thought to myself just fill this up 3 times and put all the cheese in with the eggs. While singing, dancing, and pouring I said to my Mom, who was now back in the Kitchen. "Wow, 6 cups of cheese really is a lot I think we are going to need more cheese I've only dumper 2 full things of this in and I need to do one more!" The look on my mothers face was priceless, it was as if she had seen lightning come from the sky and strike right in front of her. "You have put 2 full things of that in the egg mix? We only needed 6 cups!" "I know Mom, I have only put 4 cups in so far" "No Kelli, have put 18 cups in so far" I froze, "But Mom look it says 2 right here" "Yes Kelli but, 2 QTS means 2 Quarts not 2 cups!!" My sisters started busting up! I felt so bad I just looked at this pile of cheese that was overflowing the bowl thinking I cannot believe I just did that. My mom had to pull out a lot of the extra gross egg cheese from the mix. Needless to say, I was then sent to Natalie's house to get the Thyme that Travis left at there.
Here is all my extra cheese that we could pull out. We now will be eating a really cheesy Crescent Roll Breakfast Casserole. Even in this picture I'm making a mess the cheese/egg mixture in my left hand is pouring out onto the floor.

Finally we have success! With only that cheesy mistake from me everything went perfect!! We had made 11 full dinners in 5-6 fun filled hours! What you ask what is on they menu? Well let me tell you what are sweet husbands get to eat this month. Beef and Cheese Quesadillas, Cheesy Rigatoni Bake, Ham and Potato Casserole, Souvlaki Marinated Chicken Skewers, Stove Top Chicken Casserole, Pizza Braids, Lemon Chicken, Teriyaki Chicken Stir-fry, Chicken Cordon Blue, Crescent roll breakfast casserole, and Sweet and sour meat balls! My husband is going to be glad that we gets to eat goods meals at least twice a week now.
We stalked Jo-Jo's fridge full of our dinner and we even had to have a cooler to help out because the fridge was so full.

This is all of the 11 meals for one family. pretty cool!
Here are my Sisters! Don't we look so cute and this was even after 5-6 hours of cooking! Thanks girls for a day of fun and putting up with me singing all day! I can't wait until next month! And again I'm sorry about the cheese incident! Thanks for being so forgiving! Love you girls and Enjoy your meals!

Girls weekend

This week while Jeremy was out hiking with the boys I was hanging out with my mom and sisters. We had a lot of fun with out the boys. we ate at the Cheesecake Factory and then we did some shopping. I love hanging out with the girls, but I sure did miss my sweet husband!

These are pictures that Mykelle and I took while driving to lunch. I love to be crazy with her!
I'm trying to teach her the peace sign to do in pictures, but it really doesn't work out she does the Loser sign instead. So Katie if you could work on that with her it would be great.
All the girls at lunch! Yes Gage you are a girl!
Gage and Addison held hands while driving in the car it was so cute! I love them. Thanks to my mom and sisters who mad this a great weekend. I'm excited to get together on Friday for our cooking party.
