Sudoku Addiction

I'm getting addicted to Sudoku as I keep playing it on my new Palm Centro (c) phone that I got for Christmas. I'm only a beginner, but I still enjoy it. I just downloaded some new puzzles to sync to my phone. While I was at the website I saw that I could add a Sudoku link to my blog. Enjoy!

Happy Holidays!

I've had a lot of fun with Family and Friends these last several weeks...

My mom hosted with me at the Friendship Tree at the Festival of Trees.

My cousin's son Sutter from California. My dad's brother Paul and his family usually come to SLC every Christmastime. They come eat dinner with us one of the nights that they are in town. My aunt Pam owns her childhood home located in SLC so they come to stay at it often.

Zeke, Justin, and Stella--Crystal's family came over for dinner too.

My cousin Katil giving my dad a head-lock.

My Jacob-Cousins' Katil & Tully

My Stephens-Cousin Jeff. The case he was working on settled earlier then expected, so his family surprised everyone by coming to SLC for Christmas. Brad came with them. They left for home after Carrie spoke in church for her "mission farewell." She's going to Brazil.

Braxton & David--My brother and his family came to town the day after Christmas. They were still in town for Carrie's "farewell" too.

Crystal, Zeke, Oscar, Felicity, Stella's head, Brody, and Maizy

My sister, Charity, gave my dad a puzzle of him picking his nose. It's been a big hit with all who see it.

Brody with his new puppy and slide. Felicity's family came to town on Christmas Eve.

Kit & Brody

Charity's friend gave her a "boyfriend" for Christmas. I thought it was a very creative gift. My brother-in-law Kit came across some huge diamond rings (keychains) and thought they were the perfect gifts for Charity and I.

I took Zeke and Maizy to see Santa vs. the Snowman in 3-D on the ATK IMAX Screen at Clark Planetarium. I believe this is our third year going to see it. We also ate lunch at Wendy's, took some money to the Road Home Shelter, rode TRAX a couple of blocks to see my dad at work at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building, and got kiddie cones at McDonalds when we got back home.

Zeke

My last day with SLC International Department of Airports Finance Division. We had our Christmas Party this day too.

I got a cool Lava Lamp in the Gift Exchange.

Nephi from the American Continent comes to Testify of Jesus Christ and hand out Shepherd's Crooks to the Children at our Ward Christmas Party. I've never seen that before.

Team Vault

Last semester I took Business Communications at SLCC. Our final weeks were spent working in teams on a research project for a local business or organization, after which we wrote a managerial report. I got to work with some awesome guys. We called ourselves "Team Vault."
Ryan Norby, our team leader, came up with the name. He was drinking a bottled drink called "Vault" at the time.

We did some marketing research for a new invention called the Carpet Extractor. One of the things we did in our project was create a little commercial and posted it on YouTube(c). Credit needs to go to Tyler's friend, Ted the Rose Phantom, for helping us.

Betcha Can't do This!

I had no idea that my nephew, Oscar, had such a unique talent. Try this...

Isn't it so cool? I've been trying and I just can't get my ears to do it.

I love it when he pulls on his earlobes and his ears pop out.

My Brother's Makin' Dinner

Dave, Cambrea, and Braxton are visiting for Thanksgiving. Felicity, Kit, and Brody are on their way. All the family home for Thanksgiving...Yeh.

My brother Dave is cooking dinner for us tonight. He's making his lasagna...Yum. We're all sitting here in our living room talking while waiting for the lasagna to bake.

I won't share what we are all talking about. I think it might be too controversial. It's amazing what family discussions get started when all the family gets together.

I did just learn that my mom dated an ex-convict. I also just learned of the time my dad and his friend drove in front of my mom's house and honked when she was outside saying good-bye to a date. No wonder I'm so weird!

It's time to eat now.

6 quirky things tag

I got tagged by my cousin Wendy. How fun is that? I feel so honored.

6 quirky things about me...

1. I love to chew on ice. Pebble ice is my favorite. I hear you can get a bag of it at Sonic. I'm going to have to check it out.
2. When I get really anxious, I might find myself pulling hair out of the top of my head. When I was younger, I used to catch myself flossing with it too.
3. I can't point straight with my index fingers.
4. I collect bandaids. I have a whole tub full of them.
5. I used to want to wear eye glasses, have a cast, use crutches, have a patch on my eye. I even bought some glasses at Deseret Industries and wore them to my dentist appointment to show them off. I once put on a handful of white colored tube socks on my foot to pretend I had a cast and I actually wore it to school two days in a row. I even put signatures all over it. I once wore a bandaid on my eye to an extended family reunion to pretent I had eye surgery. Now, I really need to wear glasses, and I feel so ugly in them. What was I thinking as a kid?
6. I sometimes have fantasies about somone I never met. I only saw him on a documentary. He died about 60 years ago.
