Halloween Murder Mystery Party...

The Champagne family invited Kenny and Lisa to a Murder Mystery Party for Halloween this year! They were given characters in which to come dressed up as and then had to play a Who Dunnit game with their partners in crime! Lisa was asked to come as Annette Funicello and Kenny was asked to come as Time Conway's character from the Carol Burnett Show - The Dentist!) There was lots of yummy food and great fun with the youth who attended! What a great way to celebrate Halloween! (Oct. 2010 - Steven Champagne, Cody Dagley, Justin Ottinger.

A rose is a rose is a rose...

Sometimes a rose is just a rose... but when Arnold brought me home this rose after work one day it brought a smile to my face! You have to understand that I worked in my mother's flower shop in Hawaii for years... And as a florist knows... you are the one always giving the flowers not getting them. And when I first started dating Arnold I told him not to buy me flowers because I knew how much it cost and what the mark up was... I have since told my two daughters to never ever offer that type of advice to their future spouses... In all the years we've been married this was the first time Arnold bought me flowers... So this was a very welcomed surprise... (July 10, 2010) (Updated photo of Jessica's puppy Tux - short for Tuxedo - 18 months old)

Fourth of July 2010 & Turtle Burgers

Fireworks, lots of food, and fun with the missionaries for the Fourth of July! This year Arnold sent me a recipe he found for Turtle Burgers. They are made by placing cheddar cheese inside a 1/4 lb ground beef patty. Wrapped in six slices of bacon, and beef hotdogs are inserted to resemble the turtle's head tail and feet. Then the Turtle Burgers are baked in an oven until crisp and brown! They were yummy!!!! (Elders Fetokai, Tolley, Chidester, and Metcalf. Spanish Elders Adams and Shirley. Linda and Johnny Dunn.

We love our Utah cousins...

Visiting Sanford, Co and Austin, Tx...

On the way home this summer we stopped in at the farm and visited with Arnold's parents. There were tractors, goats, a rottweiler, and lots and lots of rabbits! Then we stopped in Austin, TX and visited with Arnold's older sister Sooz!

Our personal tour of BYU...

While in Utah this summer we arranged for our family to take a private tour of the Brigham Young University Provo Campus! We loved our tour guides and the information we received on the tour was more than enough to get us all excited about sending Lisa here for her freshman year! And if Lisa wasn't a true BYU fan before... She sure was after this tour! Fall 2011 here she comes!!!

Visiting with good friends in Utah...

While in Utah this summer we visited with several good friends! Elder Cockrell's family in Salt Lake. Doris Garner and Logan and Mason in Woods Cross. And the Hacking's in Lindon. Oh how we miss our Utah friends!
