First day of School

Today was the girls first day of school. I think it went pretty good. Nora came home with a big smile on her face. She had a good day and enjoyed meeting new people. Meagan gets to change teachers for one subject and I think she really enjoyed that. Audrey got signed up for her classes and went to 4th hour on. It took longer to get her registered that I thought. She said that a lot of kids were asking her questions at lunch trying to get to know her. They asked her where she came from and if her hair was naturally curly, they thought it was cool that it was. We took pictures of all of the girls in front of thier new school and Audrey was messing around and Ernie got it on the camera. She will hate me for posting it but I thought it was to funny not to share.

First Ward Activity

We went to our first ward activity here in Utah and it was a chili/pie cook-off. I had to dig through all of my boxes to find my recipe but I found it. the activity was alot of fun. They let those who brought a guest get in line first. Then they did a quiz about bluegrass stuff and thanks to my husband who loves bluegrass he got one of the questions right so we were able to get in line next. They had alot of good chili's. they did a couple of activities that were fun. They had some of the youth tie cooked spaghetti noodle together to see who could get the most tied together. Then they did a bean spitting contest, it was hilarious. The bishop was in the lead until he was tied by a woman. They did a spit-off and the bishop twisted like he was throwing a shot-put and spit a bean out into the crowd, turns out we have a lady in the ward that can spit a bean like no other. apparently she can cook too because she won top prize for the pie. I won top prize for the chili. I was so excited and I think I impressed some people with the win. I beat a guy who has won for the past 5 years. Some people called it beginners luck, but I think it is just good chili.

Rodizzio Grill

I had hoped to get this posted before we left Utah, but I ran out of time. One place Ernie and I had always wanted to eat was at Rodizzio Grill. Ernie flew home to get us to move to Oklahoma and we decided that it would be the perfect time to eat there. It is a brazillian steakhouse and they bring around all kinds of meat on skewers to your table. They also had grilled pineapple which was my favorite. the girls really enjoyed it and Ernie must have been in a really good mood because he let the girls order fancy drinks. We all really enjoyed the food. The girls want to go back to Utah for Christmas and go skiing and eat at Rodizzio grill. We will just have to see if we can make that happen.
