A Visit to Rexburg Idaho

We went to Rexburg this weekend to visit Ben and Kristen. They were kind enough to let us invade their apartment and sacrifice their precious sleep as we stayed up late playing and then had to listen to Trey cry through the night. Thanks guys!! We wish we could live closer, we had so much fun.

While we were there we also got to see all of the improvements made to the BYU Idaho campus, see the Rexburg temple for the first time, see my dad's side of the family, Angie and Jared, and I got to play in the Alumni volleyball game. We had a great time in Rexburg but it was SOOOOO cold!! Way colder than it is here in Provo. I got a darn fever blister on my lip from the drastic change in temperature.

Aquage Sea Salt Texturing Product

First, so sorry for the immodest lady. I couldn't get her just from the head up. I am one of those girls with naturally wavy hair. If I let my hair dry naturally it would be a huge frizz ball and it is so difficult to do. I know lots of girls have this problem so this inspired this post. I found this stuff this summer and it is the perfect solution to my problem. This stuff is awesome!! Why?

• It is fast and easy for those "mom days". My hair can still look good without a lot of effort.
• You can put it in wet or dry hair, don't need a ton of blow dryer if you don't want to.
• It doesn't leave your hair crunchy and stiff, hair feels very soft and flowy
• Increases Volume
• Gives the fun, wavy, beach look, which I'm a huge fan of.

Here's the website with some simple instructions if you want it. www.aquage.com/Default.aspx?tabid=149

If anyone has any product that they love please share!!

Halloween 2009

We had a really fun Halloween this year. We dressed up as three of the four Madagascar Movie characters. I was Gloria the Hippo, Kyle was Marty the Zebra and Trey was Alex the Lion. :) He was so cute!

We had a ward party on Friday night, we won best Movie costumes and Chili with the most veggies :) Kyle hates Chili cuz he got food poisoning on his mission and this is the only chili I've found that he will actually eat. We love it. It is Rachel Ray's Autumn Harvest Chili. Our ward also had a Thriller dance off so I learned the almost the entire dance. It was really hard but so fun. Trey would laugh at me when I practiced :)

On Saturday, Trey and I went to the Stake Primary activity and then at 5pm we went Trunk or Treating with the Delorey's and Trey's friends Grace and Opal. After we had pizza, dessert and played games. It was a very fun night. Trey was an excellent Trick or Treater and even signed Thank you to everyone that gave him candy. He is such a sweet boy.

Pictures of Kallie and Danny

As promised, here are some really cute engagement pictures of Kallie and Danny. I love the height difference :)

Mmmmm, it was good!

Monday nights are soup night at our house. If anyone has a yummy soup recipe they love, I'd love to try it out. Email it to me at ceeceevb@readytek.net

Last night I made homemade potatoe cheese soup and homemade bread bowls. They were both delicious. The soup cooked in the crockpot all day so it had so much flavor. Next time I think I will add a little more liquid to the recipe :) It was pretty thick. Here's the link for the soup recipe http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Creamy-Slow-Cooker-Potato-Cheese-Soup/Detail.aspx.

The Last of the Call's takes the Plunge!

Exciting news in the Call family this month! Kallie Jean, the last of the Call children, is getting married. My parents will officially be empty nesters.

Trey Got Tagged

I turned around and trey had put his plate of BBQ sauce on his head. I think I mop and vacuum almost every day. :)

Trey got tagged!! Here's what he would say if he could. He's definitely got some personality!

1) What is your favorite food? My favorite food is anything carbs and applesauce. I love crackers, toast, and pasta. Oh, and if my mom let's me I love eating daddy's homemade chocolate chip cookies.

2) What are some of your favorite things to do? I love to be outside. During the summer I loved to go swimming and to play at Seven Peaks with Grace and Stefanie. I also love to go feed the ducks and garden with my Grandpa Brad and Grandma Jan in their backyard. (They let me squish the cherry tomatoes between my fingers.)

3) What is one of your pet peeves? I don't like it when mommy and daddy try to feed me. I want to feed myself now. I make a really big mess and don't always get a lot in my mouth but how will I ever learn if they don't let me try!

4) What is your favorite book? That's a hard one. I love to read books. My two favorite books right now are my ABC flip book and The Big Hungry Bear and the Red Ripe Strawberry. I love to say "BOOM, BOOM, BOOM" and "SNIFF, SNIFF, SNIFF, find the strawbery".

5) What do you want to be when you are older? I want to be an athlete when I get older. I love to play with balls. I love to swing a bat, and kick the soccer ball. I also love it when daddy holds me up to the volleyball net and I get to spike the ball on mommy!

6) What nice things do you do for mommy and daddy? I help them clean up my toys and put them in their baskets. I also like to put away their shoes. I give mommy big kisses and yell daddy's name when he comes home from work and give him a great big hug.

7) What naughty things do you do around your house? I like to crush up my cereal into tiny pieces and spread it all over the carpet and couch. I also like to dump my water on the floor. Sometimes when mom's not looking I stand on top of the piano keys and play it with my feet. I think that's soo funny. :)

8) What words do you like saying? I love to say mama, dadda, ball, boom, duck, dog, baby, grandpa, up! down, outside, and no no no no, and lots more too. I am learning to talk right now, I even learned the word volleyball the other day. I'm pretty good at saying it if I say so myself. I still sign a lot of words too.

9) What do you and your daddy do together? Daddy and I like to do piggy back rides, play outside, tickle each other, play baseball, and sneak junk food while mommy isn't looking.

10) What do you and your mommy do together? Mommy and I do almost everything together. She takes care of me during the day. We like to go on walks, go to the library for story time, see the ducks, dance around the house, and have play dates with friends. Mommy also drags me to go shopping. I like to go to Macey's because I get to sit in the car shopping cart and drive while mommy pushes. :)

Thanks for tagging me Grace! It was fun to answer these questions. I tag Lucy Sherman, Emree Andre, and Annie Richards.
