Simple Sunday

2 Nephi 33: 6

I glory in plainness;

I glory in truth;

I glory in my Jesus, for he hath redeemed my soul from hell.

Feelin' Spooky

While my family laid low...and tried our best to not infect everyone...this is what I worked on. Well in between caring for sick kids and taking a ridiculous amount of hot showers to drain my head! It's funny how I always want to work on stitching but never seem to have the time. I am glad I took of advantage of this house bound week to make a cute Halloween decoration!

This Little Piggy Stayed Home

Can you guess what we have?

The truth is that so far this really acts just like a regular old flu. Only the doctor says that it spreads faster. Chances are we will all get it!

Lucky us!

Simple Sunday

1 John 4:19

We love him, because he first loved us.

Contusions A Plenty

A bike accident? Car accident? Fighting at school? Bad seat mate on the bus? Nope....football. Gee I wonder why so many mom's hate this sport! The small ones that are fading are from practice and the big ones that are nice and dark are from today's game. But hey..he did his job and the team earned another win! Go Eagles!!!!

Goal! Goal! Goalllllll!!!!

Morgan has been playing soccer for about a year. She wanted to give it a try...and what do you know...she sorta rocks! This year is the first time she has played goalie. And let me tell you she is so good at it! (just to be clear...the first MacQueen who makes a Monica joke gets exlax brownies!)

Making a save

Sacrificing her cute little hands for a save

She tripped and fell and I put the camera down to make sure she was ok...she gets up and SCORES!! So no picture, darn it!

I think this is what makes her so good....she is way more aggressive then we ever thought possible. It's funny she is really very passive in normal life...but soccer...watch out!!

A Grape Day

Or: Why I am learning to love Utah!

Last night I went to welcome our wards newest Mia Maid. Mormon talk for 14-15 yr old girls! Well....Kaelin was a bit delayed getting home so her father invited us in. As we were visiting he asked me if I would like to try one of the grapes from his vines. Of course I said yes....Oh My Gosh!!! The sweetest grapes I have ever tasted....EVER!!! He had 4 buckets full. I asked him what he did with the grapes. Here in Utah you USE what you grow. You can, put up, dehydrate or freeze. It is so cool. Well he said they make juice from the grapes. Being a city girl I had no idea how that worked, but being a curious city girl I asked. He showed me this steamer like pot that has a small tube attached to the front, where the juice comes out. Duhhh?? Then offered to let me borrow their steamer and gave me 4 buckets of grapes! How cool is that? So today I have been making juice. And you know what? It feels perfect. Just the right thing to do today, uncomplicated, no thinking involved, and man of man does my house smell good!

Now, how's that for healthy recipes...huh Sarah? Not a lick of sugar added!
