Make a Meal Monday
I learned this turkey cooking method from my mom. It is the only way we've ever cooked a turkey. It is so easy and it works every time.

Kindergarten Conversation
This is a conversation between Jared and me last night.
Me: Jared, please clean up your crayons and paper.
Jared: How am I supposed to do this all by myself?! I'm not Jesus!!
Which reminded me of something similar Jacob said when was about that age. When asked to clean up his toys he replied: I don't have three hands!!
Happy Friday!

Make a Meal Monday
Put the pork in a heavy duty zip lock bag to marinate with 1/2 can of Coke and 1/4 cup brown sugar. Marinate for a few hours or overnight.

Kindergarten Conversation
Me: Why?
Jared: I was talking when I wasn't supposed to.
Me: Who were you talking to?
Jared: My friend, Jordan.
Me: What was so important to talk to Jordan about that it couldn't wait?
Jared: Hmm, I don't remember. I guess when I was walking it just fell out of my brain.

Top Ten Tuesday
Top Ten Things Happening at Our House (in no particular order):
1. Jared has his first loose tooth. He has been waiting years for this- literally! He is SO EXCITED!
2. Bryan is now the Young Men's president, things just got a lot busier around here. But he is excited about working with the youth.
3. I am the Young Women Personal Progress leader. We have our YW in Excellence in one week. We are doing a program about the Ten Virgins, which has 11 of the girls doing parts. We have had only a few girls coming to church and activities lately- I am worried that they won't show up next week.
4. Today the new Call of Duty game came out. Jacob traded in several old games and put all of his birthday money into this game. He and Bryan were going to pick it up at midnight and play all day. But Jacob had to be at school today for a test. Bummer! Hopefully he won't have too much homework and he can play before YM tonight.
5. We found out that after sending Jacob to scouts over the last 2 years NOTHING has been marked off. Not within the two wards we've been in or on his "official record". Makes me mad that he's wasted his time. He goes every week. I hate scouts! (according to Bryan he hasn't wasted his time because he's still learned things and had a good time- but still!)
6. Now that John has walking down he has no respect for baby gates. He just pushes them out of his way and goes about his business of pulling apart the house. We have to keep a close eye on that kid.
7. I have been trying to get video of John walking, but every time I get the camera out he won't perform. As soon as I get decent video of it, I will post it. He walks with his arms straight out, like Frankenstein- it's so cute!
8. I am loving this fall. It's my favorite time of year and the weather has been beautiful. It reminds me of the year we got married. It was mild and warm like this. Then a blizzard came through the day we drove back from our honeymoon.
9. We were planning to go to the temple to do sealings for our anniversary next week, but I found out on Sunday that the Mt. Timp temple is closed for two weeks for maintenance.
10. I love my family! They are awesome!
