HOW SWEET IS THIS....

When Melissa was home she bought me a really special and thoughtful gift. She brought me home a recipe book for 'DEVILED EGGS'... Melissa knows that I always make deviled eggs at many of our family get togethers... This book is so cool because it has all of these different recipes in it. Even deviled eggs with chocolate.... So, Melissa went home before I got to try any of the recipes. Today, for Sunday dinner (everyone always comes) I tried the 'BLU DEVILED EGGS".. They were really yummy! Everyone liked them,except Kelly (she hates eggs)... Blue cheese crumbels mixed into the yokes with bacon on top. The book also tells you how to cook the "perfect hard egg"....with beautiful yellow yokes (no green rings) and perfectly centered yokes...Thank you LuLu for this thoughtful book... next week... a new recipe...
Here is a photo of how they turned out.. Oh the cherry tomatos are from Aaron's garden..

DINNER with the STARKS...

Melissa, Adrienne and Audrey were invited to have dinner at a function with the Catholic Church. They were respresenting STARKS FUNERAL HOME.

EXERCISING with AUNT LuLU...


On Melissa's last day at home with us, she decided she needed to get some exercise. Well, the little nieces couldn't let her exercise alone, so we drove Melissa, Mikayla, Trynity and Ayana to th 7800 South entrance of the Jordan River Parkway. Here we left Ayana and Melissa to jog to the 7200 So. entrance. The rest of us drove to the 7200 so. location where we met up with Ayana and Melissa and ALSO... Adrienne, Evelyn, Lydia & Jake.

Meeting up with the rest of us at 7200 So on the PARKWAY

Thank you to my son Zach for such an awesome weekend. It was only about 36 hours but it was so much fun and so relaxing that I felt like I had been gone for almost a week. I didn't think about work, bills, or problems...The photo is of Zach, and his business partner Allen and one of their graphic designers... Carlos.



LuLu's car won an award. She was so excited.

MELISSA COMES FOR A VISIT...


Melissa has been here for five days for a visit. We have had so much fun while she has been here. I miss her so much when she is so far away from home. She left to go back to school in Arizona just 30 minutes ago...and I can't stop crying. I want to blog about our time with her...but have to re-apply my makeup so I can go back to work for a couple of hours. Will update later tonight or tomorrow.. LOVE YOU LULU

Just like KIDS IN A CANDY STORE.....


Here we are in a Candy Store in Heber. This past weekend Zach and Kelly invited the whole family to PARK CITY for the Mustang Car Show. Zach paid for our rooms at a very nice Marriott Hotel where the kids all enjoyed swimming. We also had a fun time celebrating Lydia's 5th birthday while in Park City. Melissa even brought her MUSTANG from Arizona and Zach paid to have it registered in the show with his two MUSTANGS. Zach insisted that we all stop at this candy store where he announced that the kids and adults could pick anything they wanted. HOW FUN! OH AND YES...Even Trynity has been here with us... ALL 21 of us enjoyed Zach's kindness. Thank you son...I love you...
