And Then There Were 3

I am SO impressed! Now there are three of us on here. I hope Sarah got to go to J Dawgs cuz she was hankering for them on Sunday.

Rebecca, have you checked availability for Oct 27th for a Halloween party? Amy is going to move something from that day so she can come if you can do it. It sounds like the rest of us could.

I have an hour left of work today and I'm having a hard time focusing so I took a break to blog.

Let us know if that will work for you.
Welcome to the BBB. (Burgoyne, Beeswax, Blog)

It's a Miracle!

Just thought I'd give all of you (or maybe I should say both of you Amy and Liz) a heart attack by posting on the blog. I don't know how to post pictures but I thought I'd just say hi!

Our family is busy as usual. Sarah attended the homecoming dance Saturday night and we finally found her a dress on Friday thanks to my friend Judi who spotted it and called us to tell her about it. Annie got her braces off today after 3 1/2 years of oral torture. She was more than excited but says her teeth feel "slimy." Matthew plays his first flag football game today. He's only had one practice and his coach can't be there so I'm not real optimistic for a win, but I hope he has fun. I'm taking the Laurels to the Lone Peak Girls Soccer game this afternoon which should be fun and it's an activity I don't have to do too much to prepare for. The boys got their hair cut yesterday at Great Clips in preparation for school pictures on Friday. For family night last night we drove to Provo and had dinner at the hot dog stand "J Dawgs" that Todd has been talking about for months now. I have to say it was pretty good. Afterwards, we ran around campus and went into the basement of the biology building to see all the fish tanks. This week I'm looking forward to lots more soccer, parent teacher conference, and having a crown "installed." Todd is working at the Salt Palace again this week, preparing for the big Mitt Romney rally on Friday. Anyway, that's the excitement at the Mortensen household.

Love,

Rebecca

We had a great time in Utah. It was fun to see all of the sisters and be together again. Every time we go on a trip, Sophie achieves another milestone. She's now pulling herself up on the furniture. She gets so excited. We also found out that Elizabeth has the same allergy to walnuts and pecans that her dad does. She got a sore on her tongue the day after eating them, and lets me know every five seconds or so that it hurts (we're going on day 4 right now). I don't think I'll give her walnuts or pecans again anytime soon. She also got her first pet, a fish. When we asked her what she wanted to name it, she said Blue Fish. Blue Fish likes his new home. Well, I hope to hear from you soon. I love you all.

Amy and Liz's Blog

Wow,
Amy and I sure are enjoying this blog. Don't our sisters wish they knew all of the updates in our lives?
Lorin and I saw Spam a Lot last night. It was really good. Crass in a couple of parts, but very entertaining. The crowd was really into it, certain characters they recognized would come out on stage and the crowd would erupt in cheers. That was half the fun.
Jenny and John were there (wilson) We sat on the same row even, they were just a little way down the row from us. We chatted for a minute.

I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone this weekend.
I love you All
Liz

2nd Annual Halloween Party

That reminds me Amy, we need to decide on a date for the Second Annual Halloween Party. I have already looked at some ghoulish recipes...ooooooo.

It would be so fun if everyone could attend. I know mom and dad will not be around so we'll have to work harder to get together. Here is an occasion where we can do that.

Look at your calendars for a saturday that will work. I'll look at mine and we'll get a date on the calendar.

I love you all, hopefully we'll all be posting on the beeswax soon.

Water spouts

We had a good labor day weekend, although we always miss the family. We had Sam's brother and his family here, and we went down to the water spouts at the park. Elizabeth loves the water spouts. It's the only way to cool off here, although we had 3 inches of rain in one night here, and thunder so loud that the house shook. We are excited about coming for mom and dad's sacrament mission talk and can hardly wait for Elizabeth's annual Halloween party. I am already trying to decide what I will be for Halloween. My kids have their costumes. Sophie is going to be a Grinch, and Elizabeth has a really cute cowgirl costume. Sam cheered me on as I raced his brother on a bike around the Red Rock loop this weekend and won again. I'm still undefeated. Thanks, Elizabeth, for posting on the Burgoyne Beeswax blog. I loved the picture of Emma. She looked very happy. I hope that everyone is doing well. That's all for now.
