GO VOTE
It's official, I'm ADDICTED to talk radio. I can't help it I'm going CRAZY with this dang election. I say I won't listen then I won't know then I can claim ignorance but the radio keeps going back. I want to SCREAM out at the nutty people who are falling for this craziness but it's true that everyone is certainly entitled to their own opinion. I don't want to tell anyone who to vote for BUT if you think you might be on the fence listen to 840AM anytime between 9am and 5pm. I just have to do something so that is my little bit of hope thrown out there. Don't forget to VOTE next Tuesday.

QUICK BLURB
Alright here it goes.....
Wednesday Jason had the opportunity to participate in the Richard Petty Experience at the race track. He did the EOL or Experience of a Lifetime package which allowed them to have three , 10 lap periods, and in between they learned pointers to help them be a little more successful. His top speed was 144mph, glad I didn't do the ride along,they'd of had to pull my fingers out of the dash like in Planes, Trains and Automobiles. Jason had a great time and we went out to see him but only made it in time for his last two laps because Lauren had dance. I didn't get any good pics but you get the idea.
Old School trivia: Where was this train when we were growing up and what did it always smell like?
Lauren's class went on a field trip to the Heritage Museum on Thursday and I was lucky enough to experience that with her. I have to say for a town with little history it was a pretty cool little museum. I liked the little houses the best. I had that cute little group of kids up above(hope nobody minds their kids on my blog) they are such good observant students.
An old jail- looks like these girls a going in for questioning!
Lauren in a stick tee pee
Jace out of control with his friends Kaden and Brett
Lauren and Shelby in "Return of the Redcoats"
DONE!! Now that's what I call a five minute post!

MOTHER NATURE HAS LOST HER MIND!!
The weekend started out early and we were on the road to Cedar by noon. Lunch was put on hold for we were saving ourselves for Marv's, a little burger joint in St. George that came highly recommended. The burger was satisfactory, although a little pricey for fast food, but take a gander at the corn dog Jace is barely able to hold up. Leave it to Utah to come up with the footlong corn dog.
Check it out!! We picked up Theodore from the Chipmunks, he was hitchin' a ride to perform at the Shakespearean festival. Jason actually bought those lovelies at the antique depot for ????
The fall colors were still clinging to the trees when we arrived at our cabin on Friday. Everyone had an equal opportunity to have their photo taken on the fence post with the beautiful colors as a backdrop. The pics of the family and the one of my parents was taken on Sunday and if you notice, the clouds of Mother Nature's wrath are still looming over the mountain behind us.
On Saturday Mother Nature decided that she'd had just about enough of fall and decided to unleash the winter warriors a little prematurely. We decided to get a closer look at this nonsense and took a little drive to the top of Cedar mountain. Sure enough it was blanketed in snow, while hints of fall still struggled to be seen. We decided to take advantage of this tirade and enjoy some snowball fights, cold weather and hot chocolate.

Grandpa had some pumpkins growing in his garden in Cedar, so we all picked one out to take home for Halloween. We all enjoyed our crazy weathered weekend with some shopping, conference watching and listening, and some good food(except when we had to settle on smuggling Del Taco into the movie for dinner because there was no time to eat).

FIRST & LAST
It was just like elementary school all over again, but without the big yellow school bus. My Methods & Materials class took our first field trip Monday to Walker Zanger which has a plethora of natural stone, ceramic tile and slabs of stone such as onyx, soapstone, granite and marble. After seeing all the amazing items they have, I had the urge to redo my bathrooms, kitchen back splash, and any other place I could put these beautiful products. Then of course reality set in and I realized the cost involved and those ideas were thrown out the window. A girl can still dream though. That's why I want to be a designer then I'll have access to all of the good stuff while fulfilling my need to beautify on someone else's dime. Then I can use their leftovers to do my house!!! O.K. first pic, love the design and color- I think I would put it under a chair rail in the bathroom. Next- I'm in love with glass!! Aren't they so pretty. I want the one with those sticks in my bathroom. The brown tiles are ceramic that kinda look like wood. Last pic- definitely want the blue/green one for my kids' bathroom. Finding something to fit boy/girl that is cute can be hard, but problem solved with those super sassy ovals of cuteness.
Now on to a last. El Burrito closed it's doors on Tuesday. What the heck is El Burrito you ask? Well let me tell you a little history. It originally opened in 1969 in a little hole in the wall on Fremont street. I remember going there with my mom and my Grandma Dottie as a little girl and not really liking it too much. It was so dark inside because you walked down into it like a basement and I don't remember it having any windows. When that one shut down in the mid 80's they reopened on Decatur by the 95. Anyway what makes El Burrito so important is not the food but the memories. It's where we spent a lot of time with my Grandma Dottie before she passed away, it's where she usually wanted to go for lunch to get the chili relleno lunch special. Our aunt Pam used to come in from Pahrump and we'd meet her there for lunch too. When we went for the last time on Monday we were joking that they were both probably turning over in their grave knowing El Burrito is no more. Jason had the pleasure of joining us there for lunch one day and he didn't like it too much. I think for us the food is good because we've always eaten there and the company has always trumped the food. It was definitely a tradition for us to spend time with my mom's side of the family at El Burrito and for those memories I will grieve a little to know that "our" El Burrito is no more.
