Maybe it will be easier for me to post if I do it on a daily basis. The day started with Mike going off to work on a Saturday and leaving me here with the kids. That usually does not happen and I found I missed doing our usual Saturday things together:( I went on my 8 mile run by myself which I will describe in my running blog. When I got home I had just enough time to change before we had to go to Rebecca's basketball game. It was also pictures for her so we ended up going a half hour early. We ended up being the first people to arrive and even the guy who was taking the pictures thought that was weird. He said that he never has people show up on time! The game was pretty tough this week we were supposed to be the home team on the score board, but they got it mixed up and put us as the guest team. So for most of the time I thought we were the team that was making all of the points.
Only to find out later it was the other team. The score ended up being 20 to 2:( Winning is over rated.
After the game was over we decided to go and have a late lunch at Quiznos. I should not have eaten there and you will find out why? at the end of this post. When we got home Mike pulled in the driveway right after us and we had a little bit of time to spare before we were supposed to go again to his Christmas work party up Ogden Canyon at the ATK conference center.
On our way up to the party we realized we had not brought the White elephant gift. We decided to stop by Rainbow Gardens the really large gift shop up by the mouth of Ogden Canyon and find something. What we found was a Santa hat that we thought would be really fun to share. We took pictures of it because we knew it would not be for us! The party turned out to be way nice they had the food catered . I swear the fish and the meat just melted in my mouth and the Shrimp were huge. The people we sat next to turned out to be very interesting as well. while talking with them we found out that they had only been married for 10 months. They met at a Widow and Widowers party! I made the mistake of laughing when they first said it. Not understanding that they had both lost their spouses within a three year period. The mans spouse died of Colon Cancer 5 weeks after being diagnosed. and the Woman's husband died in a dirt bike accident. It's strange I always thought dirt bikes were so safe. They both had kids the same ages so now it's like they are raising two sets of twins and then some. They have seven kids total and our due to have their eighth child together. It sad that they will be moving out of the area very soon down to Salt Lake, but it was nice to chat with them while we had the chance.I also met a lady who will be getting a ladies team together for Ragnar Wasatch back and she said that I could join her team if I wanted to. I still have to talk with Mike about that since we usually run as a team. We ended up not having time to do the gift exchange at the party, but we did have them unwrap our gift there so everyone could see the Santa hat. It turned out to be a big hit. A few people said that they were going to go the the gift shop and see if they could get one:)
We ended up taking home a stuffed animal moose which the girls just love. It turned out to be a wonderful night and day! I am not going to count calories today I know that I have consumed way too much!!
One thing I forgot to mention was while we were gone Rebecca accidentally hit Riley in the forehead with a play microphone giving her a goose egg on the head Ouch!!
