New Calling, again

So, for the new YSA ward, I have, once again, been called to play the piano. this time, i also have the choice of doing organ. I am the ward Organist/Pianest, who gets to play in sacrament meeting, and also it sounds like i've been unofficially asked to play for the ward choir.

visitors

my sister and her family are in the process of moving.  our house is (kinda) a halfway point, and so they spent the night.  isn't this little guy so happy?

cool mold!

This is on top of some cream cheese. 

old photos at trax

and more snow

as taken from the kitchen window, before i ran off to work

watching the storm

normally, i'm used to seeing rain from a distance.  this time, i was watching it snow on the mountians

Snow!!

as you can see, no it isn't much.  But, it is the first snow of the year.  Its the first "first snow" i've seen in a long time.  the last time i saw some, was in Clarksville, Tennessee.  and that was clear in 2009!  It was good to see some snow again

Salt Lake Temple

We had regional conference down at the conference center today.  I took this picture on the way back to the car.  Sorry its dark, it was rainy, but i didn't have time to change the settings, my family was leaving me and being impatient.

Making Mimi Dolls

Mimi's are Australian Spirits who live in rocks.  some are nice and help people learn to make fire, and hunt Kangaroo.  some were mean, and ate people.  I had one kid who refused to make one until i told him that they can be tricksters :).
i heard this song on the radio yesterday.  :)

Jordan River Temple

astro-turf, anyone?

work

yes, folks, this is my humble work abode.  In a week that i actually work every day, like i'm supposed to, i spend 32 hours a week here.  great place, eh?

Deseret Pasta Plant

I spent the morning here, making boxes :)

Recipies

Fall colors

These were found in the garden. I don't know what kind they are. But they're pretty.

culture night

i decided that if i ever have the chance to be able to learn a traditional dance of some sort, than this mexican dancing would be cool to learn.  even though i'm not even close to mexican, and i don't know a word of spanish besides "hola!"

demoltion

for bonjean, this is right outside the library (yep, in magna).

HUGE!!!

yes, this carrot really is as big around as my hand.  we also pulled out about 4 others, just as big.  i don't know how it happened.

picturesque neighbourhood

this is a neighbourhood, right outside my work.  i've always thought it was such a cute little neighbourhood.  who would guess that at the intersection, its a super busy, downtown feel :)

last harvest before frost

window washing

crock-pot cake

who knew that you could make cake in the crock-pot?

Trax Flowers

fenced up

this building has been around for about as long as i can remember.  its been fenced off for demolition for a couple weeks

"Road Haus"

I've long wondered what this building is.  It was there four years ago when i last worked where I work now.  it almost looks like an auto shop, but i'm honestly not sure.
and, another song for today.  sorry about so many this week.

Rocket

I got a rocket for Dante and I to hopefully play with while he's off track.  It takes a couple extra items we should be able to get soon, and then go have fun with it
another song here, though when i first heard it i though "you know, it was more the farmer's son, than daughter"

Walk

today was somewhat of an uninspiring day, after an uninspiring converstaion in the morning with a good friend.  I did hear this song on this radio and enjoyed it.

Crock-potting

Since I now work nights, and mom would still like me to make one meal a week, I'm learning the art of crock-potting.  I have a pile of about 20 books i'm looking for for ideas (though others would always be welcome).  tonight was the first time i tried it.  it didn't turn out too bad

Conference, Day 2

conference, day one

Old Timer

I honestly have no idea what kind of car it is, I just saw it and thought of someone :)
song for today here
