Christmas early for me!

I'm spoiled!  In July while I making making Scott's b-day dinner PIZZA, I turned around for 20 secs. and my Kitchen Aid mixer walked off my counter.  I was so blessed, they were grandkids running around and people everywhere, and no one was hurt, and the tile floor was not cracked.  The mixer was in a couple of pieces, and I put it back together, it worked but was out of sinc in the spin, and didn't smell very good when I made bread dough, to much work for it.  I did some research on the net and decided that I wanted a bosch mixer.  When we were in Utah visiting the Maloys, Heidi informed me that there was a Bosch store in Orem, so while we were shopping we stopped by.  Mark bought me one after we looked at them, they threw in a cook book, a blender, and reduced the price of a metal piece that replaced the plastic one that it came with.  I was so excited.

Here is my new cool mixer that can mix up to 14 cups of flour, quickly.
Here is my second adventure with the mixer, garlic/parmesan bread sticks.
I made these for Jodi's b-day dinner.  I think that turned out well, and tasted great.  I will be mixing all kinds of fun stuff.  Thanks Mark for giving me the present early.  I LOVE you.

Christmas and Time with the Maloys

It's been awhile, i don't know if I should start from today or catch up, or start or catch up, start or catch up??

I guess I'll choose middle.  Nov. 7-12 we headed to Utah to be with our Utah family.  We knew that we wouldn't be there or see them for any of the upcoming holidays' so we rented a car and away we went.  Friday we left after my work stopping in Vegas at my cousin Shelley's home to visit and talk with her and Russ, then saturday morning we headed for Payson.

This is about 2 minutes after we arrived.  Grandpa popped the trunk and gifts were everywhere.  We love gifts and Grandkids!

Grandpa brought several art projects with him to teach and play with the girls.  Here he is getting ready with all of the beads that he brought with him so that the girls could make many necklaces and bracelets.  Because of my great blogging skills the picture of them doing an art project is at the bottom of this blog.

                                   Christmas has come early to the Maloy home.

With lots of smiles.

                                                                  and wonder

                                                        and new clothes and toys
                                                               and surprises

                                                            and growing kids.

These are the pictures that I took of them Sunday morning before we left for church.  All cleaned up and smiling for the camera.

We had many great times, and many great meals (and more great meals and many delicious  desserts), they will be missed the rest of this year.
                                    We LOVE you!
