InstaTuesday #7

/I got new makeup from Mary Kay; since Dan's mom sells it, we got 50% off! Woo! Also, I captioned this one "Nice to 'nose' ya." haha I'm crazy. Welcome to the party./ 

/Erin painted my nails sparkly red! Didn't she do a good job?/

/Dan and I babysat Jack again (while Jeremy and Kaela learned to do the photo kiosks that Clay and Leslie do for cruise lines) and we picked up Erin after school so we painted masterpieces with watercolors for about 3 hours. That kid. haha/

/I made up a new recipe and it was amazing! I call them Sloppy Joe Cups and for those of you wanting the recipe, here it is: 

ingredients- About 1lb. hamburger (browned), 1/2 can sloppy joe mix, About 2 cans biscuits (pilsbury or whatever), shredded cheddar cheese

directions- Heat oven to the temperature indicated on biscuits. Grease your muffin tin (I used Pam and two 6-cup muffin tins). Flatten out your biscuits and place them in the tins. Brown hamburger and mix in sloppy joe mix. Scoop about 1 and 1/2 heaping tablespoons full of sloppy joe into the muffin tins on the biscuit (just fill the cup the biscuit made). Put in oven for the full recommended time on the biscuits (more if needed) or until browned. When there is about 2 minutes left on the time, pull out them out and cover with cheese then pop back in for the rest of the time. Pull them out when the cheese is melted and the edges of the biscuits are browned. Swirl a knife around the edges of the cups to get the muffins out and enjoy. (If you let them cool for a couple minutes before eating, you can pick them up with your hand and just eat them that way)/

/Well, here it is; my "final" (my compilation of everything student teaching) for student teaching. 4 inch binder packed FULL! This was my last thing to do for student teaching so now I'm ready for graduation! Ahhh! This is so unreal!/

/Dan got to participate in The Relay for Life that The American Cancer Association puts on to raise money for families that have someone with cancer with the scouts in our ward. I went and walked with him for awhile. It was fun but chilly! Poor kid got to spend all night there haha/

/I have been eyeing these little succulents at Smith's whenever I go shopping and I finally got me some! Aren't they pretty? I die./

/Saturday after The Relay for Life, we went to New Castle Reservoir with Dan's family. It was so much fun and Dan caught lots of fish!/

/Just, you know, having some quality Facebook time with my Dad haha/

/I love going to my parents' house! They always have the yummiest food. Fresh strawberries and one of my favorite treats that my mom makes, chocolate rolled rice puffs. If I cook for my kids like my mom cooks for me, my kids will be in heaven haha/

Snow Day

Yesterday morning my Dad and Dan went ice fishing at Panguitch Lake. When they got back we gathered up my sisters and met up with Dan's dad, Shon, and his brothers, Ryan and Cody, to ride tubes in the snow. It was lots of fun! We all got a chance to be pulled behind Ryan's jeep around a field and Cody even rode a snowboard around haha Afterward, we picked up Caleb and went back to our house to have hot chocolate and watch Night at the Museum. It was fun.

This weekend has been good.
Dan and I had an entire day off together on Friday and it was wonderful.
We went to lunch together at the Hong Kong Buffet.
We tried out the new ice cream place here in Cedar: Sub Zero (Totally cool to watch. They make your ice cream right in front of you with liquid nitrogen!).
We went fishing at the lake on the hill and I even caught a fish! (Dan only caught 14... not as impressive haha)
We had dinner at Brandon and Krystel's house then we all went to The Greenshow for the Shakespearean Festival at SUU.
We went fishing again after that and I saw the most amazing sunset.
That was a good day ♥ Being with Dan makes me so happy

Saturday I had a meeting in St. George for Megaplex orientation at 7am. So fun (Please sense the sarcasm..)
I only fell asleep for a brief moment and I realized some people are so dumb haha it definitely made things better sitting in between Becca, Kaylie Hadlock, and Denny Munson so we could laugh at all the comments
After the meeting, Paisha, Landon, and I stopped by In 'N Out on the way home then we all worked the afternoon at the theater.
When I was finally done with work at 530pm, I was tired and didn't feel good (thank you, soda and ice cream) so instead of hitting up The July Jamboree like we do every year, we went to my family's house for a minute to get me some meds for my stomach (we think I have an ulcer) then Dan took me to dinner at The Pizza Factory.
We tried a new pizza there and got salad bar. It was heaven!
We then decided we'd better go see The Amazing Spiderman so we stopped at Wal-mart to get some treats (aka taffy!) haha and then went to the movie
We LOVED this Spiderman SO much better than the other 3 with Toby stupid-face. You must go see it!

Sunday, we went to church and then to my parents' for lunch. Navajo tacos! Mmmm! Thanks Mom and Dad ♥
After lunch we all played cards together (Nerts and Farkle Frenzy--definite family faves!) and then Dan and I headed home to take a nap.
At 730pm we went to Amber and Dan's for Whitney's birthday party.
Amber made some yummy rootbeer float cupcakes that tasted just like you were having a rootbeer float!
And after everyone else left and Chloe was put to bed, Amber, Dan, Dan, and I played Xbox Kinect games and told stories that made us laugh our butts off. Dan Shoemake is hilarious! haha
We left their house at about 11pm and realized we hadn't had dinner yet.
Lucky for us, Dan's mom and dad had just made spaghetti so we went over to their house and ate dinner then played Oh Heck (Another family fave) before heading home at 1230am.

Love weekends like this ♥
