Pumpkin chocolate cookies and more

This was the sight at the clubhouse on Sunday night. The ward had a post CES Fireside Ice Cream social. The bishop made pumpkin chocolate chip cookies (YUMMMM) and brought brownies. Didn't know you could put 100 people in the small space but we did. I am sharing a few of the better pictures, some of the new, some of the not so new, some of the old and some of the just plan fun ones.

Friday memories

Anyone recognize these feet? Are they yours? Do you know?
Actually these belong to the Smithsons. We had an after a CES fireside social at the clubhouse and it was so easy to just walk across the parking lot in whatever. There obviously wasn't any snow yet.

Photo Friday/Flashback Friday/ Friday memories/ Friday.......

Way back in the early days, the ward met in the Austin and Bro/Bishop Wilding was our high councilor. He was a great high councilor until he was called to be a bishop.This was taken after a break the fast at the Austin. Neither Bro/Bishop Wilding or Bishop Beazer where afraid to help with the final clean up. Fond memories for us.

Moving adventures

Tuesday was a big moving day. I don't know how many made the big move but supposedly 18 apartments were checked in to. I got there at the end of the day and was able to catch some to the typical things that went on.
Sorry the pictures aren't the best, it was the end of the day and I am a very amateur photographer with a cheap camera.
All the little stuff was quickly carried up stairs, then it was time to tackle the bigger more bulky stuff. The ladies were not to be out done. They grabbed a set of box springs and headed up. The first set of corners took only a moment to figure out the secret and in no time at all they had achieved their goal.
You can see the ladies in the upper set of turns. The men are just starting up with the mattress.

The really tough one was the sofa. It took about 20 minutes to complete the task at hand. The secret is to start with a LARGE, HEAVY sofa, round up 4 or 5 willing men and begin the adventure. the first flight was relatively easy then came the corners. They had to rest and discuss at each turn.
Despite the challenge they succeeded and the family was moved in and can now unpack.

Welcome to all the new families.

We are excited to get to know each of you.

Sunday mania

After church this last Sunday here is what was seen in the hall outside the bishop's office, lines of people filling out new member sheets.

and just around the corner there were more.

The Bishop tried to meet each of the new couples, but with there being so many it just wasn't possible.
Tuesday night he will attempt again, but there are suppose to be even more new ones move in then. Wow, the ward is growing and changing weekly, daily, hourly.

Friday memories (Okay so it's not really Friday anymore)

Okay, you get three because we (actually I) couldn't decide which to use. These are costumes from Halloween 2006. Like every year, some of the costumes were unbelievable. Jack Sparrow and his misses

Tevia, and wife and cuties Brielle

A punk and his babe

It was a fun evening and we are so appreciative of the effort of those who put it together.

Cupcake mania

The Enrichment activity tonight was a CUPCAKE MANIA. So very yummy and fun. First we had five different kinds of cupcakes, (all delicious, I know because I tried them all) and several types of frosting, top it off with every imaginable flavor of toppings.

So many choices, how can anyone decide

A lot of thought went into them

Creativity abounded

Deep concentration was required

Some required team work

Some serious consulting

The deciding was so hard

A sampling of the finished products

It was a great evening. Thanks for your hard work all who helped and participated.
