Update

To all my friends...I have not posted anything for a while so I thought I would give a quick update!!!!

As you all know I have been working at the Hampton Inn for almost 1 month now...After 3 weeks of working there I was called into the Bosses office...I was a little scared but the question was..."Angel we need a 2ND Assistant Supervisor would you be willing to do that?" Of course I said YES!!! So I have been training as an Assistant Supervisor in Housekeeping, training in Laundry, Common Area Cleaning and today I was trained in the Breakfast Bar! In the last week I have had 2 days off...So when I get home I am so TIRED!!! This morning I had to be at work by 5:00 am and I am still awake. On top of that I still have children who are in sports, cub & boy scouts and don't forget mutal...I also have to clean my house, make dinner, laundry and other Mom duties...I have not been online for over a week and I have had such a hard time calling everyone back. I still love you all...and I'm not mad at anyone! Tomorrow is my day off and I have a big project that I have to tackle...but I will try and make some phone calls (Multi Tasking)! OK enough of my whining...lol

Susan had a basketball game last night and she won!!! She only has a few more games left of this season then Softball starts! Nick has been loving Scouts and is getting ready for Track in a few weeks. Nick will also be turning 13 next week...(2 teenagers in one house what am I going to do!!!) Daniel also loves Cubs Scouts and reminds me everyday as too when his next meeting is...He is also getting ready for his first Pine Wood Derby and is so ready to make his car...I think we will be working on it this weekend. Tim is working hard as always, we were recently called to team teach 7 year old primary. I have been having to work Sundays so we have not Taught together yet but I do have this Sunday off....

We had a real sad day last week. Our dog Jasper ran under my car and was killed...It was so hard for us all...I told Tim that we could not have anymore dogs...We do still have Sheila and our new puppy Midas (we got in Dec.) but Sheila never chases cars and Midas will more than likely be an inside dog.

So as you can see my life is as crazy as always!! I love and miss you all....

Angel has a New Job!

Angel has a new JOB...

I am now cleaning rooms at the...

I start work at 9:00 & clean until I'm all done! I get home in time for the kids!
I started on Thursday did my training for 3 days then was on my own Sunday. I was told that I was doing a great job and that I was a fast cleaner...I am so tired when I get home but I do love that I get to do something new! Maybe someday I will move up to Front Desk!

Daniel's Baptism

Daniel Jackson Livingston was Baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints January 3, 2009.

We had lots of family and some friends there to witness such a wonderful day. Daniel was all smiles as usual. He got all dressed up in his Sunday best & we went to the church around 11:30. After we got to the church Tim & Daniel went and were dressed all in White. They took their seats and the program began. Susan gave the opening prayer, Glenna Plumb (Friend) gave the talk on Baptism, we sang "When I Am Baptized", Tim then Baptized Daniel (he had to do it twice because Daniel's foot came up), then we watched a slide show of Daniel, we then got to hear a talk on the Holy Ghost by Shelby Jarman (aunt), Daniel was then received his confirmation by his dad, we sang "I Am A Child of God", and Nicholas gave the closing prayer. After some catching up with family and friends we then proceeded to the Pizza Factory for some Pizza & games. Here are a few pictures of the day. (Also see the slide show).

Thank you to all who made Daniels day the BEST!

Tim & Daniel all ready for the big Moment!
Daniel, Ethan, Maddy, Maggie....They all had fun playing games & eating Pizza!
Kirbie, Daniel & Kylee (I love Dan's cheesy face)

Happy 2009

The night started out with Susan, Nicholas & some friends going to a fireside and & Dance.

Then Daniel & Mom went to Missy's House for some Party Time!! Which included some Great Food and Karaoke...

This was the food spread before we all dug in...

And this was when we finally rolled away from the table...

Thank you to Missy & Marty for letting us Come Celebrate the New Year with them and their family...We had a great time!

Happy 8th Birthday to Daniel Jackson (December 18)
& Happy 44th Birthday to Timothy Roy (December 19)

Daniel went to bed (17) and asked me this question "Mom if I wake up at 1:30 will it be my birthday?" Of course I said yes!

Dan's Birthday was fun...We had a snow day!!! Dan was a little sad he did not get to go to school but got over it fast when he got to play all day with his friends in the snow...We went to dinner at Fiesta Mexicana, then came home and opened gifts. Dan got his Scriptures, Cub Scout Stuff, Air Hockey Table, Laser Tag, Lincoln Logs, and a few other toys. (not all were from mom and dad a few were from friends and family) I asked Dan what he like most out of all his presents he said "Mom I loved them all but I like my Scriptures and Cub Scout shirt the BEST!"

Tim had to work on his birthday. Tim got to wake up to his kids climbing on him saying Happy Birthday Dad!!! He then got to open his presents. Tim got a Josh Groban CD, Mama Mia movie, a book, a painting, and a 7 week old puppy! I made him a Carrot Cake from scratch! He got home kinda late...

Anyway...I'm glad we got the Birthdays over with...Now its time for Christmas!!!

My Dumb Car!

Ok maybe my car is not dumb but I sure do have Dumb Luck with it. I am again without a car...Why, well let me tell you my fun story! When I went down for Thanksgiving weekend my car broke down and had to be towed to the dealership. I took my mother-in-laws car home for the week. I came down the next weekend (December 3/4) and picked up my car. All was fine I had no problems. Well, then on late wed. afternoon I started smelling gas and thought what now. I called the dealership and they said maybe it was my gas cap. (ya right) So I made an appt. to bring my car in on Sat. morning. 30 min. after I droped off my car I got a call saying I had a gas leak and how luck I was that it did not Blow Up on me...Yes I am still living and I have no car!! I am so very grateful to be alive and I am grateful for my car I only wish I could keep it running without problems!!!

I want to wish everyone a very Save and Wonderful Christmas...
Remember the reason for the Season!

Great Weekend!!!

I had such a great weekend with my ALL MY BEST FRIENDS!!! We all went to Stacey's house for dinner and pictures. Some pictures we took need to stay in the camera (lol you know what I'm talking about Stacey!) Who knew taking pictures would be so much fun...I think we took about 100 of them (Becky I need to get copies from you). Then we all were able to sit around a catch up (until I went down stairs and fell asleep) every party needs a poo per and so that would be me. We all got to see Amy which was so great we have not seen her for such a long time. We had Rhonda visit from HI, Dori from UT, Angel, Kristi and my great friend from Show Low Missy from come from the White Mountains. In total there were 9 women having the time of our lives. I will post pictures after I get them from Becky...(She is always so great at taking pictures and giving them to her friend's who don't bring a camera). The seven of us have been friends for 12 + years. Angel, Dori, Becky, Jen, Stacey, Rhonda & Kristi I miss them all and was so grateful to be able to spend some great time with them...I am also so grateful for my BFF Missy here is Show Low, I don't know how I would survive up here with out her. Thank you to all my great friends for all your love and support for over the years! I love you all so very much!!!

Twilight

I loved the movie...It was soo good!!! We sat in a movie theater filled with Twilight Fans. When Edward came on screen everyone yelled (some louder than others lol. When Edward and Bella Kissed for the first time we all made the ohoooo sound (again some louder than others!) and when something made us laugh everyone laughed (you get the picture some louder than others!) Now the book was GREAT we all know that...The movie was a very condensed version of the book so it was not as GREAT as the book but still they did a great job!!! I also heard that since Twilight did so good they were going to go ahead with New Moon...So next year this now 37, then to be 38 year old woman will be right there watching making all those noises with everyone else (me being lounder than others!!!)

Here is a few pictures of the group I went with...Needless to say we all had a GREAT time!

Belated Birthday

It was Susan's 15 Birthday on Sunday, November 9th...We also had our first SNOW...Because I'm so late in posting this I'm gonna give a little recap of our day...Susan woke up to her mother coming into her room and giving her a kiss and wishing her a Happy Birthday! Dad got up and made breakfast and then we all got ready for church. It was very cold that morning, we had lots of wind and some good clouds... At church Susan's friend gave her a cute card. After sacrament we went home cuz Dad stayed home (he was a little under the weather). Mom fixed Susan's favorite dinner (Green Chilie Burros, Potato's & a Green Salad). She then got to open her gifts...

1. A Gift Certificate & card from her grandparents

2. A big box of goodies from her Brothers (random things)

3. A Yellow I-Pod from mom & Dad

So we had fun opening gifts then we did a cheese cake and mom also made a peach cobbler. We ate both desserts...then we all watched a movie. A little while after the movie Nicholas went into the Sun room (around 8 at night) and yelled "Hey it's Snowing outside." Of course everyone came running to see. Susan said "And it's on my Birthday!" So it was a quiet day but we all enjoyed being with each other.

On Saturday mom took Susan, her brothers and her friend Sage to see High School Musical 3 and then we had Pizza and played at the Arcade. I can say that Susan had a great birthday (Cuz she told me). So I so should have posted this last weekend but, Better late than never!!!

Happy Halloween

Ok I updated this page because You could not see the other photos I posted...I took those with a phone! So this was at teh Trunk-or-Treat Party...We had a lot of fun even though Nick looks like he is so board! Susan is with her friend Sage. She put on something Hallowen...WOW...

Recipe Friday!

Dori & I got to talking about posting a new recipe every Friday on our blogs to share with everyone who reads them! If you want to join in that would be so FREAKING FUN! So here is my Recipe my kids love this it's fast easy (I do cheat a little) and I made it up my self...

My version of Chicken Alfredo
2 cans of Chicken (you can cook your chicken if you want)
1 box of Pasta (I use bow tie or cork screw)
2 jars of the Alfredo Sauce
( you can also add Broccoli, mushrooms or be creative)

Boil pasta, fry the chicken in separate pan (I add seasons like garlic and pepper). Drain Pasta, add chicken then sauce & any extras you might have to the pasta. Mix well then serve and enjoy...
