Steak and a Movie Night

We had a fun Steak and Movie night on Friday. We had our good friends, the Meier's and the Stevens families over as a thank you for their help with the basement project. Jason grilled some steaks and we watched a movie on the big screen (projector system). The guys were disappointed when I showed up with "Made of Honor" as the movie to watch. I honestly did not see any "guy movies" in the new release section of Blockbuster. ( ha-ha) Oh, well! They were good sports about it. Here are some pics of the party.

My Corny Day...

What a busy day! A friend of mine talked us into buying some corn from a farmer and I am talking a lot of corn! There are five of us who took on this project and together we ordered 4o dozen ears of corn. That was a full day of shucking, washing, boiling, cooling, cutting, bagging and cleaning up. We had so much fun and the payoff was big, but it was a long day! Here are some pics for you...

The Fruits of our Labor:

I know that it looks like I just stood around and took pictures, but I really did help a little during this process. We had a good time and the kids had fun playing together all day. Now we can have some corn on hand for this year. We froze it in the new Ziploc steamer bags so we can just throw a bag in the microwave when we want some corn for dinner. Overall, a very corny day...

Back to School

Yeah, I am a little behind with this Post, but I did get a picture of the kids on their first day of school...

We had a good weekend. Nothing too interesting to report. Kiley had two birthday parties and a babysitting job tonight so she has had a busy day. We had planned to participate in our Ward Campout this weekend, but it got rained out. Spent the day working in the basement, doing laundry, grocery shopping, and other things instead.

We did buy some new furniture for our basement. Well, new to us. I will send a picture of it later. In the meantime, I will try to come up with something interesting to blog about...

Bye for now...
