Claire: No, I want the reds.

The Pepper is almost out

The other day I was getting ready to make something in the kitchen and I went to get the pepper canister. I was very surprised ( and a little sad) when I realized I only had a little bit left. You might wonder why I felt this way about a can of pepper...but that pepper has lasted for 5 and 1/2 years. Remember when you first get married and you move into your very own house and then look around and realize you have NO food because both of you have been living with your parents before the wedding. Well, I do, and I remember going to the Walmart grocery store on Ridgeway and Mt. Moriah with a very long list on the essentials. I mean I had to buy everything you need to start a kitchen... and one of the things I bought was this pepper can. It has a good memory and feels like the pepper is telling me that a new part of my life might be starting.... (mmm.. maybe someone should come and check on me) anyways.. that brings me to my next point... Tell a funny a story about something dumb you did when you were newlyweds that involves preparing/making food... (if your not married then you can still share:) My grandpa Fearnley tells a funny story about my Grandma .. I'll have to get him to tell it to me again...


For example,

On the first night that I was going to make dinner for us, after our honeymoon and after we had gone back to normal life, I was going to make Jed's favorite: spaghetti. I was getting the water ready and had the meat all cooked and ready to put into the sauce when I realized that I don't know if we even have a can opener. I start to panic because I think this means our first dinner is ruined but luckily my grandparents lived less than 3 min. away... I called them asked them if they had a can opener I could borrow and 5 min. later Grandpa Hiatt was at my door with a handheld can opener! Whew! Now if only I could have figured out how to use it after he left.......

This One is for Rachel....

So my best friend from when I was like 11 wanted to see some pictures of my side of the family. We used to play together with her family every Sunday. Our parents would play games and we would have a blast doing crazy stuff! The Martins had a kid that was the same age as each one of my siblings and couple extra too. It was pretty much awesome!
Okay- This Levi- Elder Fearnley right now. I took picture of his picture. He is serving in Oakland, CA. He will be home July 2009.
Grandpa and Annie are BFF! Sometime she calls him PAPA... and she always cries when he leaves.

This is Mom and Vance just had to get into the picture too!
Shelby -13 Claire-3
Vance-23
Jay -15 (right?)
Thomas-17 He thought he was too cool for this! ( He might be right).

Okay Rachel your turn!! :)

Camping at Village Creek

Here are all the kids in our tent. I think they had a good time. I think that was the best part for my kids was getting in and out of the tent!
Annie having a nice breakfast bar. It was so cold that morning we were outta there by like 9:30!
Pallet fire. I don't know what we would have done if Lad hadn't brought the pallets. Jed and I didn't bring any wood .... Jed said there would be plenty in the woods! ( I don't think so!) so seriously we are really glad we had those or we would have frozen. Hopefully Lad's feet have recovered from him setting them on fire!
I don't know what is on her face here. I don't think it is ashes because she wasn't crying, However, we have no idea what it is!
Doesn't Claire look cozy! Everyone needs a daddy to snuggle! As far as camping trips go, I think this was alright. Next time I want to go when its just a little bit warmer and not so dark by the time you set up everything. It was fun spending time with the George's and Cat---- You were missed ! ( i saw your comment on Christine's blog:) Who wants to go next time! (in the spring!) Also, I should note that Jed has been going to this camp ground since he was like 12 or something and he always goes on a night hike. He went on it alone this year ... maybe sometime he will share this story with you.

Fun with Photos

I am not a professional photographer. ( I know pick your jaws up off the floor), and I'm sure everyone thinks that on some level they can take good pictures, that being said, here are some pictures I have had some fun with over the course of the year. It's weird to think that I started this blog in only January of this year! I don't know why I didn't start sooner. Which Reminds me __Jamie__ will you post that thing about turning your blog into a book?! :)

(p.S. Do you like my new Twilight Colors!! 1 week)
