Last weekend was really fun, we went to PA to the Bloomsburg fair!!! I usually don't enjoy going to the fair mostly because they are so expensive and dirty, and the carnies just take your money!!! But this fair was totally different, it was still dirty and the carnies were still creepy, and yes there was one stupid carnie( or should I say one stupid girl, ME) who got my $5.00. He was totally egging me on, so I just had to do it. But on the bright side I got a little pink dog. Anyways back to why this fair was different...have any of you ever seen 33 cent sodas at the fair? Or 3 hotdogs for $1.00? Or the most delicious icecream for just $2.00??? and the best part was it was only $4.00 to get in... It was off the hook!!! Alex, Ilene, and I met up with Gail and Roy ( Ilenes sister, and her son). We had such a great time, the thing I love about when Ilene and Gail hang out is listening to them laugh, you just can't help but smile and laugh when you hear them laugh, its just contageous!!! We got there early on Saturday morning and looked at all of the exhibits. It was so neat to see others and the talents that people have!!! It just amazes me. We got little snacks along the way, and then had to stop and play some BINGO!!! None of us won, but it seemed that everyone else around us kept getting bingo!!! Alex and Roy always have a great time when they get together, and there is always talk about a bussiness that they will someday start up the name has already been decided ROY-AL enterprises. or ROY- AL cuts and styles, if I ever start up a salon!!! They love talking business and trying to think of new ideas for a future business. We got to a section at the fair where they are showing and selling lawn mowers, it was like pulling teeth trying to get Roy and Alex out of the booth. They sure were having a good time!!! Okay so I did a horrible thing at the fair, and mom and dad, you would be so embarrased if you were there, but I hesitated to do it, and then decided oh heck I will never do this again, but I just have to see this... I paid $1.00 to see the Worlds Smallest Lady She was so tiny but cute. I wanted to get my dollars worth so I tried asking her some questionns, but after answering a couple of my questions she said " You no have no money for me, then you go bye bye" I felt so bad afterwards, but it was something I just wanted to see so bad. Then we watched the pirate stunk dive show as well, and that was so scary, there was a guy who jumped off of a tiny diving board and dove from over 80 feet in the air into an 8 foot pool. It was insane, but so cool!!! We also saw a dog diving contest, and that was fascinating. We saw all of the animals and I got really sick from the hay, I think I am allergic to hay, because I got so sick the rest of the night. The fair has the worlds best fudge and the famous whoopie pies, I don't care for them, but they loved them so we brought home dozens for the rest of the family!!! Another tradition in the Angel family is to stop by Barrigans a sandwich shop and get subs, but you have to wait and eat them the next day, so we waited 45 minutes to get a sub before we headed home for the night. I was so exhasuted and ready to fall to the ground the minute we got back to the car. I thought I would sleep so well since felt so yucky from the fair, but I slept maybe 2 hours that night. and if I can't sleep, then as you can guess Alex doesn't get to sleep. He was so good and tried to take care of me the best he could, until finally 6 am, he went and slept on the couch. All the coughing, sneezing, weezing really got to me.
Then Sunday morning I was extremely tired, but saw that Alex and his mom were ready to walk out the door, so I hurried and threw on my Sunday clothes, makeup, and did my hair as best as possible, because I refuse to wear my hair in a pony tail to church ( thanks to my mom for never allowing us to do that growing up) I managed to style a pretty bun!!! Church was really good, I could hardly stay awake, but the speakers were so good. We then headed home and Alex started on some projects that his mom had planned for him. He is very well rounded and can do almost anything, so he put a new roof on her shed, poured some cement in the ground hog holes, and I helped paint the shed. I didn't do much, because I started feeling sick again, so as I am inside sleeping, Alex and his mom are outside slaving away and got everything done. It turned out so nice!!!!
Conference Weekend
The rest of the week was really relaxed with the kids in school and the parents both working outside of the home, so I rested alot!!! I had to watch my kids on Saturday night, and it worked out well because Alex was at the priesthood meeting. I was about to put them to bed, and I asked if they wanted a story read to them or for me to tell them a story. Of course they wanted to hear my story. I have to limit the stories, or else I can go on and on because they ask just one more!!! So I told the stories of what I could remember, they often ask about the grandma that chatters alot... when I was with the Goldstien kids, I would always talk with Grandma Mary on the phone, and so the Goldstien kids told my kids to ask me about the grandma that like to chat!!! haha it was too cute. One story I could remember was of when Trent was a toddler and my mom being on bed rest, and couldn't give trent all the attention he wanted so he dumped out all the marshmallows and started stomping on the floor. Or lillie cutting my dads shoe laces, and they got a kick out of that one. They love hearing funny things that grandma Mullenaux does, and I only tell them what I know and see on facebook, so make sure you keep your statuses updated!!! A while ago I was telling them about how I had a great grandma, and how I had a cousin that would call her grandma grape. So now they always ask to hear a story about grandma grape. I don't know that many,so if you any of you do, send them to me please!!! I'm sure my kids will LOVE to hear them!!! It was such a good night, I guess it's always a good day/night when the kids are so well behaved. And If I still have a voice at the end from the yelling I do!!!
Conference was sooo good!!! I love watching it and listening to the great speakers!!! I always enjoy the wonderful chior too. This weekend Alex and I attempted to make Aunt Amys homemade fudge...well I let Alex go first, just incase he made any mistakes I could learn from him!!! He started his batch, and didn't stir it continuously, so it burned, but we don't like to waste anything, so we proceeded with the fudge, it actually didn't really taste that good, sorry!!! So then it was my turn, I made mine and everything turned out great, except when the chocolate chips wouldn't melt and I got tired or stirring after ten minutes then we just dumped it in a pan and let it cool. So next time we visit Thatcher, Aunt Amy we need some one on one lessons for your fudge!!! But I will say that Alex does make an amazing chili!!! He made that one night, and then Hawaiian haystacks for Sunday dinner!!! People out here don't know what Hawaiian haystacks are!!! CRAZY HUH??!!!
Anyways that's about it for these last two weeks!!! It has been getting really cold now and so its time to get out the winter clothes, jackets, scarves, and BOOTS!!!!
