Thursday November 3rd, Jay went and picked up Lorna Paki from the airport and brought her home to hang out while she waited for Dion and her bro Harland. They were driving from San Fran. When they got here Dion was a crack up. Talking about how Seamus changed the venue to Harls & Juanita's 50th BDay and anniversary, but saying I was the one who actually changed it cause I brought it up to Seamus during Uncle Ra's funeral. Asking why it's in Orem, he told me Julius Skipps booked his chapel and then so I was ok with that cause Julius is in a wheelchair. And now they just making funny's about it....
Friday November 4th. I bought some Lucky's chicken and made Lupulu for Harlands's 50th etc... We were way early lol cause I made us leave early due to rush hour. Ben O'brien and his wife came, they were here from Texas visiting their daughter who was in a car crash, but she's ok. The chapel was freezing, cause the heat was set and couldn't be changed. Luckily I wore a CCNZ sweat shirt and jacket. Jay wore his CCNZ jacket too. Dion and Harland etc didn't show up till late, an hour late. Dion was the mc for the night. It was suppose to be dress up in 80's but only Jay and I wore our CCNZ stuff, and then Maria Chavez came and looked like TLC, no one else got the memo. There was lots of yummy food, Seamus made hangi, Lee's maori bread and lots of chicken kfc etc. Skipps family made huge german chocolate cakes, and there was Guava cake too. Harls family spoke, the way Harl says stuff is interesting lol All our family was there except for Jaxon. We had a nice time mingling, eating and dancing. Julius was the dj, he brought all his cool dj stuff. We helped clean up afterwards and it's amazing that the Skipps family sets and packs up all of Julius's stuff!
It's like winter is here and there was a week of Autumn lol So now I'm in hibernation mode and don't want to go anywhere lol. It rained a lot one weekend and our room window was leaking so bad we had to put buckets out. Now we are deciding on getting the windows done and the siding eh.
Friday November 11th, Jay and I had date night with Tyrell and Alisa and went to eat at 'New Thai Cafe'. I ordered chow mein, Jay got pho, Tyrell red curry and Alisa egg noodle soup. My noodles were yummy, I tasted everyone's food lol and it was all yummy. Tyrell's curry was too spicy cause he chose the hottest one, but it was still good. Jay and I also got a boba drink, I got honeydew and Jay got coconut, they were delicious. I know will be going back there again. Girls had 'Movie Night' with their 'Tausala Teens', they watched the new 'Top Gun' movie and had pizza.
Sunday November 13th, Our family wore our Poppies in remembrance of Veterans day. We finally had our Primary Program. It was awesome, only a couple of our kids were away. But all the kids were great and the songs too, except if I had to change something it would be to have Lydia Ferguson sing into the mic, cause she was too quiet for me. But I'm glad it's done. To celebrate doing an awesome job of our primary program we watched 'Mr.Kruegers Christmas' and ate caramel cornpops, popcorn and Kool aid. We practice some Christmas songs, cause the kids will be singing at our Ward Christmas Party. We handed out the treats we got from the Stake Primary Presidency and twix's.
Dorothy from our Condo complex asked Leila to clean her home and she'll pay her. Leila went to talk with her about it and ended up agreeing to something ridiculous. So I had to go over with her and renegociate. She'll get paid $20 for 2hrs every Tuesday 3-5pm, vacuuming, cleaning the bathrooms etc.
Thursday November 24th. We celebrated 'Thanksgiving Day' at Tania's in Grantsville. The men went a little earlier to shoot their guns off in the mountains. Jared's family, Scott's family and us including the newlyweds were the only ones that came. Jody and Moni were sick, flu and covid. I made the ham, stuffing and a pumpkin bar. There was Turkey, lupulu, mashed potatoes, gravy, funeral potatoes, spinach salad, sweet potatoes, banana bread/cake, passionfruit mousse, pumpkin cake etc. I wore a mask so I won't get sick afterwards, it worked too! lol The men were late, we told them to hurry up us women are hungry. After stuffing ourselves we played pool, and Tania popped some popcorn in their popcorn machine. We came home a little after 7pm and then went to Scott's home to have a dip in his hot tub. Mina and Tane slept over.
Jonah and Maya came Friday to sleepover till Sunday. Our internet was running out so Jay put restrictions on it. So the kids had to play board games they did with Mina and Tane. They played games on the ps4 but didn't log onto the internet, they watched movies on plex.
Saturday Jay and I slept in and then snuck out to Tous Le Jour and Sagato Bakery. Tous Le Jour was busy had to seats so we decided to eat at home after we got some pies from Sagato's. My pie was eh, ok. Tous Le Jour is french but has korean and Japanese pastries. I get the curry roll, it's yummy.
Sunday we had Ward Conference. Jonah had left his church clothes in the car so he had to borrow Jaxon's lol. The Stake Primary Presidency took over our Primary and there was no Nursery. We had combined adults lesson, same with the youth. For dinner I made spaghetti and pho. I only ate the pho though, it was yummy. The spaghetti tasted a little different because I made it from all the leftover tomatoes from our garden. Melia came and got Jonah and Maya and took them home.
