PAMPERED CHEF!!!

Well, a couple weeks down since I have joined Pampered Chef. So far I am LOVING IT!!! I hosted a party for my sister which made me want to start in the beginning. My first party was hosted by my best friend Mandy. She did a great job getting people together, handing out catalogs, and getting them back! She had an amazing $300 show! we made a delicious Aloha Pizza. (if you want the recipe let me know) She got some excellent discounts, free stuff, and a half price item!!! WOOT WOOT!!!

My next party I am hosting for my ward!

So, anybody who lives in Eagle Mountain is welcome!!!!

Tuesday, May 19th at 6:30!!!!!

The next party after that is held by another best friend Meghann! she is having hers on Thursday!

Thank you to each of you! I am very grateful for your help!

My hope is to get one person from each show to sign up to have another show! and so on and so forth. I am super excited about this new business and hope that down the road it will be a good second income so I can stay home with my children!

The best part about this plan is that the only thing I HAVE to do, is nothing! There is no specific sales goal you have to meet each month. You work at your own pace, your own time, WHENEVER YOU WANT!!! If you have ever wanted a little extra shopping money, vacation money, or need to pay off credit card bills this is definitely the way to go!

Plus! if you LOVE Pampered Chef, like I did. I am sure you would LOVE to get their products at a discount, half price, or even FREE!!! All you have to do is get your friends and family together for a night of GREAT food and fun! Let me know if you are interested!!!

Hope to see you all at one of the next shows!!! THANKS!!!

PAMPERED CHEF!!!

Well, about a month ago my sister jamie became a Pampered Chef Consultant. So I told her I would have a party for her. We did the party last night and it went great!!! We had a great turn out of 11 people! I made so much money that I get a huge discount and she made enough money to pay off her kit!!! YAY!!! Thank you so much for all that came and helped us out! I dunno about you, but it was so much fun! It was just like another girl's night! We had girl's, laughter, strawberries, and chocolate! What more could you need? Oh that's right Pampered Chef products!!! thanks to Jamie for directing a killer show! She really knows her stuff!!!

It was great! I have decided to become a consultant myself! It is really just for the kit. I get $570 worth of products for $155 bucks! You can do it too! Or you can host a party for me if you don't want to spend that much money on a kit. You will get 60% off some items, you will get free items, and a discount on a whole bunch more! Plus you get to have a bunch of girl's over for dinner or dessert! It was a blast! Let me know if you are interested! I already have one party set up by my Best Friend Mandy! Thanks Mandylin!!! There is no pressure to buy or sell! Do everything at your own pace!

We had a great time! I know you could too! Let me know if there is anything you want to order, or if you have questions on anything!

Busy Busy Busy!!!

Maybe I should have changed the blog title to LONGEST BLOG POST EVER!!!!

Well, obviously I have not blogged in awhile. We have missed Vegas, Conference Weekend, Christian's Dad's 75th birthday party, St. George, and most recently I had a Pampered Chef Party. So, this will be a very condensed version of what we have been up to lately. If you want the step by step go to Mandy's blog, she is WAAAAY better at this than me!http://www.mthargett.blogspot.com/

Well, we have obviously been having some fun!!! I think I talked about it before, but we decided with part of our tax return we wanted to go on a mini vacation. So, we did just that! Our Best Friends Mandy and Troy were planning on going to Vegas and invited us to go along. We had all been wanting to go on a vacation for a long time so we decided this would be it! We went the last weekend in March, the 29th-31st. It was GREAT to get away, and we had a blast with them!!! We did a lot of 21 playing, which I won 36 bucks!!! We ate some great food! We laughed a TON!!! We went to a bunch of different hotels, laid by the pools (which there were three of!) The best part was just being with them, and having a good relaxing time!

Even though we only had 3 days we packed in so much fun it was awesome! We went to a dualing piano show, the Treasure Island show, the M&M factory, the Shark Reef Aquarium, and walked probably 500 miles total. It was a great trip! And we got to fly their thanks to Christian's mom and sister who work for JetBlue! We had a ton of fun! I will post a couple of pics, I took about 100 so I can't do them all, sorry!

We stayed at the Excalibur

We played the slots....Woot Woot I won!!!

I laughed so hard I cried! Seriously, Bawling!!!

YAY for Mardi Gras Beads!!!

The next activity was Conference Weekend. Every year for the past 4 years we have gotten together as a large group Conference weekend. We always go to Layton and we have a girl's night while the guys go to priesthood, and then we all hang out afterwards. Sometimes the guys play xbox, sometimes we all play games together. Then we sleep over at my mom's house and we all watch conference in our pj's at my mom's house! It is pretty much in my top 5 for traditions! Especially sicne we keep adding people to it each year! Mandy and Troy are now regulars for the whole thing, they even sleep over for the next day! It is awesome! So this year we met at Jamie's for a girl game night. We had tons of great food!!! We played Disney Scene It, which we found out Meghann ROCKS at! then the guys came home and we played buzz word. It was a great night! We had a good turn out, and lots of babies!

Babies, 7, 8, 9, and 10 months old all boys!!! How fun!

This was the winning team, obviously Mandy was bitter

Oh how cute our boys are!

The next day we all woke up and Jeff had made us a great breakfast. Then we all got comfy on the couch to watch Conference. It was a GREAT conference! I love it when they speak! they are so inspirational! WOW! So, overall it was a great Conference Weekend! They always are! I LOVE our tradition and I am so glad Mandy and Troy are there to Join us! They are just like family now. My neices and nephews love seeing them as much as me! maybe more than me! haha Morgan is in LOVE with Troy it is so cute!

We ended an awesome weekend with an AWESOME party! Christian's Dad turned 75 on April 1st. So, everybody got together for his birthday dinner. We have a large family and so normally there is a couple here and there that can't make it, but everybody came this time, it was great! We had a great meal of ham and funeral potatoes, and awesome rolls! We had the neices sing a song while Adam played the piano, it was a gorgeous song from Les Miserables. then while we mingled Adam played the piano. He is 14 years old and is amazing!!! He doesn't read music very well, so he plays the piano by ear! He even wrote his own song! It was awesome! So, his music was in the background while Linda pulled out Phil's scrapbooks. All of these old pictures of him in the past, thier wedding announcement in the newspaper, he even had a letter sent to him from one of the Apostles! It was so great to see pics and learn more about him! We had a great time!

Great shot huh!!!
All the girl's and Grammy singing their song!

We gave him a picture of all of the Prophets in their Temple Clothes in the Salt Lake Celestial Room. He LOVED it! YAY!

Jamie and Jon and their kids have had a tradition the last few years to go to St. George for Easter, this year I decided to tag along. No Christian, unfortunately. We had a great time though. We relaxed, played with the kids, went swimming, went shopping, watched movies, had really really yummy food! and Nat had a Pampered Chef party for Jamie while we were there! We decorated easter eggs, had a huge easter egg hunt, and the Easter Bunny came for the kids!!! We threw Steph a baby shower while we were there as well!!! she got a ton of great stuff!!! We also got to go to the Warm Springs in Nevada. About an hour away from St. George is some church owned property with two pools full of warm springs natural water. So we went swimming there all day! Also, there is a large feild of grass to play on, a playground, and a river you can walk through. when you are in the river you feel like you are in Hawaii!!! It is gorgeous! It is completely encased in palm trees, the river is also part of the warm springs so it feels like you are wading through a hot tub! It was great! It was a good trip and it was great to see Brandon, Nat, Grandpa, Granny, and Ty and Steph. We got to play outside!!! Natalie was planting flowers! Meanwhile it was snowing in Salt lake!!! I LOVE ST. GEORGE!!! Everytime we go though, we wonder why we don't live there! I would move there in heart beat!! Just find my husband a job!

Morgan and Halle decided to Lay out with me

Yarn game at the shower, Jamie lost big time!!!

Owen and Taya playing! This weekend Owen figured out what a camera was and would give a huge cheesy grin everytime I put it in front of his face! So cute!!!

This pic doesn't do it jusice, but this is the river.

So, we had some great times!!! Only thing I would have changed was bringing Christian along to St. George! Hopefully next year! Now we are just relaxing and taking it easy for a little bit! Whew!

I LOVE MY CALLING, I LOVE MY CALLING, I LOVE MY CALLING.....

Sitting in singing time I realized today would be a different day that Jessica and I have not had in quite awhile. It left me sitting and repeating the words above over and over again in my head.

Our lesson today was "I am Thankful for Animals." While the kids were a little more rowdy than normal, it was still ok, No worries! Nobody was crying, screaming, or running away so we were good! We could handle this. But oh were we in for a surprise!

The kids were great at telling us all about animals, the sounds they make, were they are from, who created them, and everything! But it seemed today we were not going to learn about animals, but about a "russian dolphin." Now, this may sound to you like an animal, but oh no, you would be wrong!


At our Primary Activity a few weeks ago Jess brought these dolls as one of her show and tell peices. Well, Aiden LOVES it, which means he wanted to play with it. So, if he wants to play with it, all the kids want to play with it. Hence the term dolphin comes into play. To Aiden, this is the Russian Dolphin, not russian doll.


Now, some of you might read this and think, "Oh, I know sunbeams, they can get distracted, that toy was not a good idea, I feel so bad, etc etc." But don't think that!


For today I learned something! Every week I teach I plan my lesson a week or two in advance with activities, coloring pages, object lessons, etc. I found today that these children like to learn on their own. You can make a lesson out of anything. The kids may remember the little wooden peices I used for Noah's Ark. They might even remember going on a safari to find different animals through the church hallways. But ultimately I KNOW they will remember that Russian dolphin. They will remember how to build it, they will also remember that they MUST take turns putting it together and taking it apart. I also know they learned they can't play with it unless they are reverent. I learned for myself today that these children are adorable! You can't help but look at them and smile! They have amazing spirits waiting to burst!

When God gives you a "Russian Dolphin" adapt your animal lesson!

So, I say again,

I LOVE MY CALLING, I LOVE MY CALLING, I LOVE MY CALLING.....
