Crockpot Meatloaf 8/23/09
So awhile back I decided that every Sunday I would make dinner in the crockpot. That way I can either get it started before church and keep it cooking while we are at church or start it right after and let it cook. Gives me a lot less to do on Sundays with minimal effort. I got a lot of my ideas from this blog. The lady who runs this decided to make something in her crockpot every day for a year so it has a lot of creative ideas. So Last night I made meat loaf in it. Yes that's right meatloaf! I would definatly do it again but I think I would vamp the recipe a bit to match our tastes.
All done in the crock pot.
our potatoes. They are walmart brand southwest potatoes. Super yummy!
This is our corn on the cob.
All together on the plate. Yes we went all fancy with the paper plates :-P

First day of school
Today was Enid's first day of first grade. She seemed to really enjoy it. She did say it was a really long day but that she had lots of fun.
Today was also Brandon and I's first day of school. We both already turned in our first assignments and started participating in class discussions.
Hopefully everything continues to go well for all three of us!

Thursday
This Thursday Enid will be starting school. She is going into the first grade! She is growing up so fast! I can't believe it is time for her to start going to school full time!
In addition to Enid starting school Brandon and I are going back to school as well. He will be going into graphic design to build a portfolio and then going into game art and design. Yes he will be making video games. He spends enough time with them he should get paid for it :). I will be going into the photography program. We are both doing this online at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh Online division!
We are really excited to start this journey and that we are doing it together.

Too Funny
A man came home from work and found his three children outside, still in their pajamas, playing in the mud, with empty food boxes and wrappers strewn all around the front yard.
The door of his wife's car was open, as was the front door to the house and there was no sign of the dog. Proceeding into the entry, he found an even bigger mess. A lamp had been knocked over, and the throw rug was wadded against one wall.
In the front room the TV was loudly blaring a Cartoon channel, and the family room was strewn with toys and various items of clothing.
In the kitchen, dishes filled the sink, breakfast food was spilled on the counter, the fridge door was open wide, dog food was spilled on the floor, a broken glass lay under the table, and a small pile of sand was spread by the back door.
He quickly headed up the stairs, stepping over toys and more piles of clothes, looking for his wife. He was worried she might be ill, or that something serious had happened.
He was met with a small trickle of water as it made its way out the bathroom door. As he peered inside he found wet towels, scummy soap and more toys strewn over the floor. Miles of toilet paper lay in a heap and toothpaste had been smeared over the mirror and walls.
As he rushed to the bedroom, he found his wife still curled up in the bed in her pajamas, reading a novel. She looked up at him, smiled, and asked how his day went.
He looked at her bewildered and asked, 'What happened here today?'
She again smiled and answered, 'You know every day when you come home from work and you ask me what in the world do I do all day?'
'Yes,' was his incredulous reply.
She answered, 'Well, today I didn't do it."

Seafood Tomato Alfredo
Last night for dinner I made seafood tomato alfredo. I got it off the back of a can of Campbell's cream of mushroom with roasted garlic soup. Of COURSE I tweaked it a bit. It called for fish and I used shrimp, scallops and crab instead. I served it over angel hair pasta and seasoned green beans on the side.
This is what the sauce looked like as I was cooking it. the sauce would make a pretty good seafood stew if you didn't want pasta I think.
This is all of it together. Not the best picture but you get the idea.

It's been awhile
Alot has happened since I last posted. We moved to Cache Valley Utah. More specifically Hyrum.
I love the views and we are so close to a temple and it happens to be the temple that my grandparents were sealed in for all time and eternity so that makes me happy and someday I hope to be sealed to Brandon in that same temple.
I also dyed my hair blonde.....ok I only got it streaked/highlighted. It makes my hair seem a lot lighter though I love it I think it makes my face seem narrower but maybe that's just me lol.
The streaks are pretty defined but I couldn't seem to get a good picture and the pictures i took when I first got it done make the bottom half look all blonde.
Brandon is working for a company that does outbound surveys. He's doing really well and usually has the top rate in the center. He likes it and I'm happy and I hope he continues to like it.
I'm still working for KGB. It's a good job but things are dying down and I don't feel I can get as many questions as I need and was used to for that reason I am currently looking for work. I think that I should get a job and besides it would be a way to meet people something I don't currently have. I had a job interview today and I should know by Wednesday. I hope I get it.

Happy Birthday Enid!
I know this entry is a few days late, but things have been hectic and I'm sick so i didn't want to get to it till now....I know I'm horrible!
Anyways we celebrated her birthday on Wednesday which was the day before at Brandon's parents house. I baked a cake. I was hoping that Walmart's bakery still sold the kits like they used to but no luck so I manged to find some Tinkerbell cake decorations and a small Tinkerbell toy to use.
I used a strawberry flavored cake which made the batter pink and I used a cream cheese frosting which I colored purple. It looked really cool and I wish I had thought to take a picture once the cake was all cut up...
Anyways here is the result...not too pretty since my handwriting sucks but I still think it looks cool.
We ate dinner and then we opened presents. She did pretty well. Both her and Aidin got buckets with shovels and bubbles. Aidin's was Diego and Enid's was Dora. Enid then got a princess pop up hamper, Everbody's Hero and Tinkerbell (movies), a BUNCH of color wonder stuff, this little bus play thing. and some other stuff I may of forgotten who knows...but here is some pictures of the stuff.
Then after she opened presents we had cake.
This is Brandon bringing her cake out to her.
This is right before or right after she blew out her candle. Don't ask me what Justin is doing cause I have no clue.
