4 June 2008

You know when you wake up in the morning and have good intentions for the day? Well...my day STARTED that way. I got a whopping good deal on cereal this morning. 6 boxes for $1 a box. Don't you love store coupons topped off with manufacturer coupons? I do.
Well I came home and was happily making White Chili. If you are a recipezaar fan - it would be recipe #286138 by happynana. At any rate - our family doesn't like anything hot. So I am opening the little cans of "diced chilies." At least that's what I remembered buying. The mild ones. These were NOT diced chilies. They were chopped jalapenos. HOW in the heck did they end up on my shelf and in my cart no less??? They weren't even mild. They are HOT! Well - I didn't have anything else so I dumped them in. Don't worry dear family - I will be close by with the fire extinguisher when flames come shooting out!
Well my house smells good. I hope dinner tastes good. Otherwise - I will just make another batch of chili another day and skip the chilies altogether and mix both batches together. At least it's savable. (Is that a word?)

I think this was in 2004. It was Nephi's first trip to the beach. The boys were all so little! My have they grown.

Meet the Parents...Russell and Candace
It all started for us when Russell left for Cape Town South Africa on a mission. Candace felt inspired to write him - so she did! We wrote for 3 1/2 years. Candace came home from her mission to the Texas Houston East Mission and we dated for 5 months. We married in July 1994 and have been happy ever after!
