i need help

so i'm still trying to find a decent flight and so far the cheapest i've found that will work for us is almost 500 dollars and we just can't afford that. we need to fly out of either salt lake or boise (salt lake would be much better because we have somewhere free to park) the night of july 18th. (probably after 7) and we need to fly back july 25th (or the day before). if anyone has time to help me look for a flight please do so. thanks in advance for your help

family reunion

so i'm trying to figure out when we are traveling to nc and i was hoping everyone could tell us when they are traveling and what airlines have the best fares. we also want to minimize the amount of trips to the airport. thanks!

i got tagged

so i picked up the nearest book over 123 pages and turned to page 123 and the 5th sentence is kinda boring... the book is "Residential Landscape Architecture" and the sentence is ... " the designer must also be able to accurately record the information and insights provided by the clients during the meeting.

french onion soup

While I was in tuscon my inlaws made french onion soup. I didn't think i would like it but i loved it! Wednesday night we made it again and i loved it all over again.. so here is the recipe.
French Onion Soup
3 medium onions, sliced
2 tablespoons butter
5-8 cups water
1 small carrot, shredded
1 small stalk celery, chopped fine
2 sprigs parsley, or dried parsley flakes
1 small bay leaf
1/8 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
Salt & pepper
1-3 cubes beef bullion
1-3 cubes chicken bullion
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
3-6 slices toasted French bread
3-6 slices Swiss cheese
Grated Parmesan cheese

Cover and cook onions in butter in a 3-quart saucepan over LOW heat,stirring occasionally, 30 minutes. Drain or blot of excess butter from the onions. Add everything except the bread and cheese, adjusting bullion,water, and seasonings to taste. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat, cover and simmer about 30 minutes, until vegetables are tender. Serve soup into oven proof bowls. Top each bowl of soup with Swiss and then Parmesancheese and broil briefly to melt cheese. Place the bread into the soup and enjoy.
So this probably isn't the healthiest with the bread and cheese but if you limit those quantities it's pretty healthy, not to mention delicious... and i don't usually like onions or swiss cheese :)

just can't get ahead

i dropped a piece of lily's bottle in the bottom of the dishwaher and hit a hot coil and i tried to pick it up... 2nd degree burn on my thumb and palm. the one on my thumb i scraped as i pulled it away so it was bleeding and both hurt really bad.. so seth rushed me to the doc and they put silver burn cream on it and wrapped it, then gave me a prescription for the cream.

a few new things

so as i stated earlier lily and i are sick... we both have colds and then lily has stomatis (basically a bunch of canker sores) so she is on tylenol with codeine when she can't stand the pain... luckily for me i got a junky but comfy recliner for 5 bucks the morning before she was up all night, so at least i was comfy staying up/ sleeping with her. second i got my hair cut... i don't like it much but it got alot of weight off my head (about 8 inches of hair).

Lily is now clapping and i love it... she is such a cutie even sick. she has taken a couple of steps but it scares her so it will probably be awhile before she really walks, but she loves to walk around furniture. she also climbs on EVERYTHING.

Ashley Gubler (used to be pittman) started working at this place called heritage books... where you make your own scrab book online and then they print it for you with a hard cover... they have everything you would put in a regular scrab book and its very high quality... well she found out that she gets one free scrab book a month and she is going to make one for lily's first year... i am so excited because ashley is very talented with these types of things and I know she will do a really good job and she loves to do it... so if you have any pics of lily please send them my way.

I started babysitting an 11 month old boy this week. i babysit him just for 3 hours a day for 2 days a week. this is great for me because it motivates me to clean... my apt was CLEAN this week until after Roel (pronuonced rule) left on thurday (and lily got sick)... he is a really easy kid too so its nice to get a little extra cash and have a reason to clean.

Lily's new thing is this game she plays with seth.. its too cute and i can't explain it so watch.

here is a pic of my hair cut... and another thing lily does. she loves to pull of the wipes if i forget to close them
