Trivia

Shampoo Alert
A friend sent me this the other day.
It really pays to read the labels.

Shampoo alert!
As I was conditioning my hair in the shower this morning, I took time to read my shampoo bottle.
I am in shock!
The shampoo I use in the shower that runs down my entire body says "for extra volume and body"!
Seriously, why have I not noticed this before? Now I understand why I am so "full-figured"!







Tomorrow I am going to start using "Dawn" dish soap.
It says right on the label "dissolves fat that is otherwise difficult to remove.

Shop Hop

It's quilt shop hop again! #3 dd and I went yesterday to a few shops. The theme of the hop is The Greatest Quilt I Ever Read. Each shop chose a book to make their theme. The decorations, games and goodies are centered around that theme. Here is one of our favorite shops called Quilts Etc. It's theme was Sherlock Holmes. They were all decked out in English policeman's outfits. We played mystery games and had pulled pork sandwiches. Yum!
Another shop had The "Twilight" theme. They had the characters' quotes from the movie placed in frames everywhere and larger than life photos of all of the characters. They served red velvet cake pops with white icing. Here is a quilt that I just loved hanging in one of the rooms. It comes from the book "Quilt Obsessions" Here is #3 with Edward. She looks a little frightened. He was looking like he was hungry!

One shop which will remain nameless had not done much with their theme but I really loved this quilt that was hanging above the bolts. Had to purchase the pattern!Great for scraps!
Today was dh's day off so we took off to the Salt Lake Temple after #2dd's class. We had a really nice time. We went out for lunch at a mexican dive that turned out to be really good food. In other words, don't judge the food by a grungy exterior.Here's a picture of the gang when finished at the temple. What a beautiful day! Our valley is being blessed because the weather is unseasonably cold. It is slowing the run off from the mountains which will delay the flooding that was predicted.

Zone Conference


It's easy to guess where my sweetie is standing. He looks so happy and I couldn't help but notice that he needs a smaller suit size! Transfer calls are tonight and we are wondering if there will be a change for him. The only reason why we at home hope he gets a change is because we are out of pink stickers and can't find more of them at any Walmart. He has been there so long there are no more of that color. Pretty pathetic reason, I know.
Summer has officially come but we haven't turned on the air conditioner yet. My youngest dau. has brought out the blow up pool but I still think it's too cold to actually use it.
Trek is coming fast. Tonight was stake youth meeting. We are each taking buckets to put our personal belongings in to keep them clean and safe. We also had the kids learn a few square dancing techniques.They rounded out the evening with homemade bread. I will be going with dh to be an adult with a group. Hopefully, I will be able to enjoy it.
Shop Hop is this weekend. I will post any cute things I may find. I will take my dd. With the price of gas so high, we are not certain we will go to all of the shops. I'll post tomorrow.
