Fraidenburg Thanksgiving

Since this is an InLaw year we had a pre thanksgiving for those who could make it on Sunday. Walter, Traci, Boyce, Trey, Melissa, Andy, Grace and Clark were missed. Grandma and Grandpa Totten were able to come down and join us. It was so fun. Round two of the frying turkey. This year we remembered to take off the plastic. However they put John in charge of pre heating the oil. 45 min. later it was discovered it was on low instead of high. Of course John blamed Luke and Luke blamed Dad. It was funny. So an hour later we pulled out the turkey. It looked super nummy. After the carving began we realized that it was not all the way cooked. So we took off the finished meat and put it back in the oil for round 2. It came out nice and crispy after it was re-fried. Mom and Dad ate the legs of the turkey. Needless to say there was no turkey leftovers. Hope the pictures show the progression of the dinner activities. We did get a chance to wish Melissa a happy birthday over I-Chat thanks to Luke. It was fun to see her(well for a second) and chat with her while we watched our selves. I think John enjoyed it the most! Happy Birthday Melissa!!! wow welcome officially to the 30's !!!! Love you all!!!

OJH School Carnival and Spook Alley

This year i am the adviser for the student government at Olympus JR. We had a fund raiser and had the very first school carnival. It was a great success. We were worried about bad weather but the student body did a anti rain dance and the rain stayed away. It was pretty cold but no wet weather. It was way fun hopefully we do it next year. We also had a spook alley to raise can foods for the Utah Food Bank. It was a lot of work but the students had a great time. It was pretty well attended and pretty spooky if you ask me. However I scare easy so they watered it down for me when I did the walk through. It all looked pretty real to me.

Moab Oct 2008

Welcome to Delicate Arch! Me and Dad hiked up this Friday afternoon once we arrived in Moab last weekend. It was so great. Perfect weather and not crowded at all. We had a lovely time hiking and jeeping. It was too short! Besides Dad almost plummeting to his death at the bottom of this ridge it was a pretty safe trip.
