Whip it Good!

For those of you who know me, know I love to cook and I also love to find great bargains! For the longest time, I have really wanted a Kitchen Aid mixer to make and bake yummy things for my family. There is a website called Freebies to Deals that feature new deals on a daily basis. On one particular Day in February, I saw an awesome deal online at this particular site for a Kitchen Aid Mixer. After talking to Mark about the great deal, he let me get it. I was so excited and ever since I have been enjoying my new kitchen toy! I even got some vinyl decals to bling it up a bit so it wasn't just boring white. I love the scrolls on the top!

Both Kaleb and Karmindy really enjoy getting in the kitchen and making things with mom. Karmindy especially enjoys helping me make treats while Kaleb is away at school. I love cooking with my kids and spending time with them in the kitchen!! 

I'll Get You my Pretty!

On Friday October 13th, it was reported that 12 witches were seen arriving and then leaving the Frisbey Household around the hour of 5:30 p.m. The mysterious witches stopped shortly to be photographed but then with brooms in tow fled the scene in beautifully adorned apparel. Some witnesses claimed they were going to join other sister witches at Gardner Villages 10th Year of Hosting a Witch Fest. As the witches were fleeing the scene, small children reported hearing cackles and spells being cast.

These 12 witches disappeared into the night.

At Gardner Village, the witches enjoyed getting down with their bad selves and enjoyed dancing while music played. They enjoyed seeing a Snowy White owl, and several miniature Demons whom appeared to be standing on stilts. The witches enjoyed visiting Aftons Sweet Shoppe and dined on fudge and caramel apples. At around 9 p.m., several witches needed to return home to their wee ones while the others left to find a place to eat.

At around the Bewitching hour of 10 pm, It was also reported by the residents of South Jordan, that these same 12 witches were gathering at the Apple bees at the District. Those that were out doing some late night shopping at the District, reported that cackles could be heard as they were driving about in their automobiles. Patrons at the local Applebee's also claimed that after they finished their meals they left in a rush and cackled out the door. Many patrons were frightened and afraid that they would be cursed. 

All 12 witches enjoyed themselves and are looking forward to gathering together next year!

It's Birthday Time.

I celebrated my 30th birthday on June 4th, or should I say I celebrated my birthday several days in advance and after the 4th. On Wednesday June 2nd, Mark surprised me by arranging for a babysitter to watch the kids so he could take me out to eat at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse downtown. Mark has eaten here several times for work but I have never been. He knew I would love it and I did. We ordered BBQ shrimp and I ordered the petite filet with shrimp on top. The steak and shrimp were the best I have ever eaten. Our waitress took really good care of us and since it was my birthday, she let me choose any dessert off the menu since it was my special day. Also, when our waitress brought our leftovers all boxed up to our table she told me that she snuck two chocolate raspberry cupcakes in just because. It was nice to be treated like royalty and taken care of. It was a really nice evening and I enjoyed spending it with Mark and we both look forward to eating there again soon!

 On Thursday night, my friend Carlynn took me to go get a pedicure and then after that I was able to get out with her and several other best friends from my neighborhood. We all headed to Chili's for appetizers and desserts. It was fun to catch up with them and visit. I truly love all of my darling friends and neighbors. I had my camera with me that night but I forgot to take a picture of all of us.

On Friday night, my dear friend Emily Hattaway and I went to Color me mine, it is a pottery painting shoppe where you can go and pick out plates and other ceramic pieces and customize them to your liking. Anyone that knows me, knows that I have a small fetish for really good cupcakes. I found the cutest cupcake platter and painted it. My friend Emily painted a cute piggy bank for her daughter who is celebrating her birthday this month as well. We had a lot of fun creating all evening. After being artsy we headed down to The Sweet Tooth Fairy Bake shoppe for dessert. We both got cupcakes, SURPRISE! :) 

On Saturday, Mark and the kids spoiled me. I woke up and opened presents. Mark and the kids got me a brand new camera and case. I have been wanting a Cannon for so long!! I am so excited to have it and have been enjoying taking pictures. It was fun to spend a low key day with my sweet husband and kids. During the morning and afternoon hours we spent watching Kaleb play a soccer game and then we went to Arctic circle for lunch and let the kids play on the playground. That night we ordered Cafe Rio and spent a nice quiet evening in.

I had a really nice birthday and received many nice gifts, cards and well wishes. It was a really nice way to start out my 30's.

A Night out With Friends...

Mark and I don't get the chance very often to get out just the two of us, so when we do we like to take advantage of every moment. On this particular Date night, we had the chance to get out with our good Friends: Jared and Emily Hattaway. It was their anniversary and they invited us to go to dinner with them at the Melting Pot. The Melting pot is a fondue restaurant.  Mark and I love fondue and have wanted to eat here for the past couple of years but have never had the chance. We were going to go one year for my birthday but I ended up getting the stomach flu and we had to cancel. 

We were glad we got to go and experience eating here because it is so expensive that we could only afford to eat here once a year. :D We had an incredibly fun time and enjoyed not only the food but also our friends.
