I've Missed You All!!!

Well as you all know I got a job.... obviously that means I haven't had much time to blog, which is very sad. I figured I would say hi and let you all know I'm still alive:] Anywho Richard and I just had our one year anniversary on the 19th!! We are so excited! This post is going to be really short because we are leaving in a little bit, to celebrate this occasion, and head to Yellowstone!! (I love it there!) We are going camping and won't be back home until Monday. So I'll miss all of you, and those I would have seen at church, and I can't wait to tell you all about our trip and share some pictures :D Have a great rest of the summer, for those of you who aren't in school yet, and enjoy the beginning of school, for those of you who have started! Much love to you all and see you next week! :D

Kuna Job Birthday :D

Hello everyone! How has your summer been? This past week was awesome! We got to go home for Kuna Days!!! One of my favorite parts of summer! It was so much fun! We barely missed the firework show because we got in late :[ Our car was acting fun and I think we need a new fuel filter. It makes sense the way the car was chugging. We bought some cleaner and it seems to be doing much better now. Anywho we saw the fireworks from the back road we were coming in on but it wasn't the same. I love fireworks!! We did get to participate in the parade on Saturday.
My father in law entered his parents Durant car!! Grandpa Durrant got that before he passed away and we like to bring it out to remember him. It was really special because Grandma Durrant got to sit in the car and wave while Richard, Mom, and I passed out candy. It was so much fun! I love the fact that I knew almost everyone there and they were all yelling at me :D Guess that's what you get living in a small town.
We went around the park and got to see all the vendors after the parade and hang out with my little sister, Becca and "adopted" sister, Lauren. We entered a few giveaways so we'll see if we win anything. I sold a few flowers which made me happy. Richard also surprised me and got me a beautiful bracelet! He said he bought another knife and decided to show it to me before we went to bed that night. That little turkey! I love him though and it made me really happy! I was very disappointed they didn't have lawn mower races this year. That was my FAVORITE event during Kuna Days. Oh well, maybe next year.
We went to church and saw lots of friends and families that we missed. I told Richard I felt like a beauty queen walking down the runway to our seat because as I passed people they waved and smiled at me.
Sorry but this one might be a long post because I feel like telling you everything! I believe I told you that Richard got a new job working for a company that works for FedEx. Then I also got the job working at G's Dairy Delights as an ice cream... artist? scooper? server! We both started last week on Wednesday. I was trained by a Co-worker and then Thursday the owner supervised while I did most of it. Then she gave me a key and said "Good Job! You open next week." So I worked yesterday and I think I did fairly well on my own. I work again tomorrow through the weekend. Richard still needs to be approved until he can drive on his own so he is doubling with someone this week. He really enjoys it and is always telling me about the cool things he sees. Today he saw a doe and two fawns. I really wish I could go with him sometimes. He says if I get the Ok then I can :D I'm excited!
Well I think I've done enough rambling. Thank you for listening! I appreciate all of you!! Oh today is my brother in law John Durrant's birthday he turns 18!!! Everyone wish him a happy birthday either on here or he has a blog you can go to its:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOHN HENRY DURRANT!!!! WE LOVE YOU!!!!

The All American Mommy.....gets a hair cut!

Hey guys!! Guess what I did today? If you read the title of this post you probably already know. but .... I got a hair cut!!! I'm so excited I just can't hide it! Today is a day of celebration and that's what I did. I celebrated the signing of my new job in the Rigby School District, Richard getting a new job, and another job interview I have today! (Sh Richard doesn't know yet :D ) Anywho I got all the paperwork and fingerprinting all sorted out for the school and I am so happy!! Richard got the reply for a delivery driver interview and he has the job! Now he will be working the usual 7-5 job instead of 3-10 and getting paid almost twice what he is now! Since my Pep Band job only needs me about once a month I figure I would get a day job so I'm not all home alone while Richard is at work. So I have an interview today at the Ice Cream shop right across the street! If you know me you know I LOVE Ice Cream. I just have to remember I can't eat it all HAHA! :D Ok enough with my babbling because today is such a wonderful day I went to "become a new me", as they say, and get a hair cut. Tell me what you think!

Sorry for the bad quality in the picture :D

The All American Mommy goes to Facebook!

Alright, if you can't tell I'm really trying to get my business out there. I would love to be earning some income from this. So....drum roll.... I made a Facebook page! Actually, I made a brand new page as if making a new account for this and realized I could have just made a page from my account I already had. I don't know if that made any sense but it was a pain and rather complicated. So right now I'm trying to link my account to the page, like make me the owner. It said it needs verification so it sent an email. Well I haven't gotten an emails yet and I've tried at least five times. I then found out it might take a week to get it. So while that is pending I get to go back and forth between them. In the mean time I figured I would get my name out there anyway I could. With out further ado here is my facebook web page:

http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-All-American-Mommy/476011575744867

With this going I can easily put up a bunch of pictures and have a little more room for people to have their say. I will still have my blog going and be posting stuff on here which will have links to the new stuff on facebook as well. I'm so excited! Please help me get this going!! Thanks!! :D :D :D

Luau Flowers :D

ALOHA Guys!! So I was really bored a few days ago and made a few flowers... They are from the same material so you might get bored of the pink and yellow. I did get new colors today so hopefully you'll see A LOT more variety (color wise at least). I'm calling these ones my Luau Flowers because... it just seemed like a good name. Let me know what you think and if I can make any for you :] I also just opened an Etsy shop! It's called TheAllAmericanMommy as well so if you search that you should be able to find it. If not let me know! Any advice, comments, questions I'm ready for them!
