It's me! Can't you tell?


So I saw this the other day and got a little excited because that is me way in the small corner on the left hand side. I was just waiting for Harley to go potty. Then I got sad because the guy must have put in that tree to cover up our bbq and added some shrubs along the side because it does not look that great nor is the grass that green. Ha that is awesome.

Whatever, Harry Potter and Harley

I figure I'd better update this thing once in a while. To be honest not a whole lot is going on in our lives. Still am jobless, but to be honest I am not looking that hard. I think I like staying at home. No this does not mean a baby Jaques is on the way.

I have been doing some pictures of Harley, again you say, well she is my only subject that just lays there for me. There is this great site where you can put your own book together called, http://www.blurb.com/. I am in the midst of making my own Harley book. It's going to be fantastic.

Primary update: getting better. Our first Sunday alone with them was not quite a nightmare, but still scary. I think we got five minutes of lesson in and then the rest was trying to calm them down. I have learned the value of going to get drinks in the middle of class, playing the whisper game and crayons. Coloring takes up a solid 20 minutes. I love it. This past Sunday Kelly and I were treated to an amazing story from one of our youngins about how he beat up a t-rex and survived with only a skinned knee. Then he built a boat out of legos, stepped back, put his hands on his hips and said "Ah, huh." He was quite pleased with his boat. Also the week before last, if you were worried about the pee-pee heads, your worries are over. I hear a prayer from a child is the most valuable. So the pee-pee heads have been prayed over. I love those kids!

Lastley, I was conned into reading the Harry Potter series. So to keep my promise, I just finished book three this morning. I will say a certain vampire novelist has nothing on the fabulous Ms. Rowling. I am amazed at how much imagination and creativity went into these books. To dream up a world like that but also have a significant plot in each book. I hear it has a better ending than a hybrid pregnancy and very disappointed ending where a certain heroine didn't die. When the H.P books first came out I was anti because I was in high school and thought it would be cool to rebel against the masses. So years later I am finally reading them. Don't worry, I celebrate finishing a book by watching the movie. "Jane" said I had to read at least the first six books before the sixth movie comes out. So I guess that will be my big reward for reading that far and I assume I will just want to read the seventh book because I got that far and you can't just quit.

Well here are some pics of Harley that Kelly and I did. We found out just how much she loves her ball.
Alright enough of that. Peace out

They Found Us!

That's right the bishopric got to us. We are the new teachers for the CTR5 group. We went last Sunday so they could meet us and get to know us. Oh boy I can tell it is going to be fun already.



Teacher: why did the blind man want to meet Jesus?

Child: Cause he wanted to eat him.



Child2: I can burp without food.

Me: Oh, that's cool, but probably not the most reverent thing.

Child2: blaaaaah.

Me:Awesome.



So wish us luck as we take on this endeavour.

Cheer up Charlie!!

So on a day like today, snowing, cold and gloomy, I try to cheer myself up. I applied for every single job on craigslist, listened to some ABBA and my kindred spirit found this for me:

In-N-Out Burger Coming to Draper

KUTV -- Burger fans in Northern Utah have reason to celebrate.
Draper City announced today that the owners of In-N-Out Burger have submitted plans to build a restaurant at the Draper Peaks Shopping Center, located at 12195 S. Factor Outlet Dr.
Draper Mayor Darrell H. Smith said, "We are very pleased to be the first location in northern Utah. Our residents expressed in a survey that this was one of the restaurants they would like to see in Draper."
Draper officials said their city's Economic Development Department has been working with the owners of In-N-Out since last year to bring the popular burger joint to the city.
The proposed restaurant will be over 3,200 square feet, and will feature a drive through and quick-serve restaurant. The owners anticipate hiring between 50 and 60 employees.
No word yet on when the restaurant will open.


Draper is out by me kinda, so you will have to come visit us when you come get your burgers. So for all you gloomy gus' out there here is Camille's little pick-me up prescription. We already have news of only the bestest burger joint coming to Utah. If you are still feeling down today, like me, take one of each and go watch Mamma Mia. You will be magically whisked away to an exotic greek island. Ok probably not, but you might feel a little better.


(Aren't those boots fantastic?!)

Here is another classic cheer up song

Can't Get It Out of My Head

I have been wanting to do this for some time,

I have created a blog where we can share some music. Basically there is always a song or two that I cannot get enough of for about a week at a time. Sometimes its new, sometimes its old, and sometimes its better left unsaid.

I will post a few songs each week and I would encourage each of you to add a song or two each week that you are currently addicted to. The idea is to share some good music. If you like this idea, please create a link to the blog on your site so that we can attract as many users as possible to get more input.

Can't Get It Out of My Head ----------->

Thanks -
Kelly

Hap, Hap, Happy Birthday!!

Today is Kelly's birthday. YEah!! He is 2 and 6 years old. He is officially closer to 30 than he is to 20. Bummer... for him.
We kicked off his birth celebration Friday night. We had some peeps come over for a winter BBQ. Kelly and I love to marinate stuff, so Thursday night we started our chicken and steak to soak till Friday night. We had a blast. Good food, good company and plenty of reminiscing for the Morgan boys. All you girls know what I am talking about. Of course there was guitar hero, some catch phrase and a little counting game Chase loves to play, so we all humored him by playing it. Chad actually showed up this time, but I'm pretty sure the only reason he did was so he could get us back (those of you who know what I am talking about) by toilet papering our bedroom. I didn't take a picture because I was too mad he used our good toilet paper and not the crappy kind.
Today I made omelette's for breakfast. We invited Kelly's fam down for dinner. I attempted to make cafe rio pork salads. I must say they turned out quite well. The only crappy thing is the meat takes forever to cook. I had to start the meat at 8 p.m. Saturday night. But it was worth the effort. Screw actually going to Cafe Rio ever again. I even made their good tomatillo ranch. I must say I am pretty proud of myself. Then ended the night with some card games.
Kelly shares a birthday with his niece, well her birthday is the 9th. So they had a joint cake and they both opened presents today. We had a great time. Thanks everybody for making the trek down to our house.
I guess it wouldn't be complete without a small tribute to my hubby. When you read this Kel, know that I am grateful for all that you do. I just love you!

What do I do?

It's about quarter to three and I am still in my jammies and haven't showered. Really what do I do all day? Well today I played around with Photoshop CS4. Nothing really different from regular photoshop.
Here are some samples.

This is Ebony Ashley's dog. Harley's new bff.


A cool sunset.


My little sunbather.

I thought this would make a cool picture.
