Insurance

I just added some new links at the bottom of the page for the insurance products Durke and I sell. I just wanted to let everyone know what we do and if you have any insurance needs Durke and I could help you out. Durke specializes in life insurance and retirement investing. He also does home and auto insurance. I sell health insurance and Aflac supplemental maternity and cancer policies.

What's for dinner...


This is a recipe that my sister-in-law, Naloni, gave me and my family loves it.

1 loaf french bread
1 lb. hamburger, cooked
1 jar alfredo sauce
Mozzarella Cheese

Cut bread in half long way. Combine alfredo sauce and hamburger. Top with mozarella cheese and place in 350 degree oven until warm and cheese is melted.

I love it because it's simple and it tastes good too!

I love this time of year...

I love this time of year because of the traditions we have. Traditions are so important to me and I want my children to enjoy them too. Here are a few that we enjoy.

We had a great Thanksgiving at the Gordon's cabin this year. The food was yummy! Diane doesn't do the traditional turkey, but she cooks Turkey Roasts that you can only get at the Moroni Feed plant in Moroni. It is the best turkey ever. I also LOVE the stuffing and apple pie, and oh Aunt Pat's homemade rolls. The guys shot skeet, I did as well and did pretty good for a girl! The rest of the Gordon girls searched the ads for the best Black Friday sells. (See details later!) Durke's cousin Brandon and his family stayed with us. They are always fun!





On Friday, my sister-in-law Kim and I went to Walmart @ 5 am, and then headed to Provo for the good sales. We had a really fun time and I am done shopping! I have a few little things to pick up and one more thing for Durke, but other than that I get to sit back and actually enjoy December for once. I am so excited. Durke and Gracie went to a slot canyon in the San Raphael with Cory (his brother) and his kids. Gracie was a trooper and said she LOVED spending the day with just her and dad. Here's some cute pics.








Then on Saturday we cut our Christmas tree. This is by far one of my favorite Christmas tradition. I will never get a fake tree because I just love how much fun we have finding our own. Last year my tree was HUGE and this year I didn't really have one in mind so I let Durke pick it. He did an amazing job. It is my favorite tree we've ever had. We decorated the tree and the house on Sunday. Gracie is at such a fun age right now. She has thoroughly enjoyed all of the holidays this year and insists on decorating her bedroom too. So she has a cute little tree in her room and a few other things. She makes me laugh.







The finished product!




I really want to simplify my Christmas this year so I can really enjoy it. My kids are little and this is the time when Christmas is still magical for them. I hope I can do it. I set a goal to have my shopping done by December 1 and I did that, now I just can't let all the other things stress me out. That might be the hard part! I hope you all have wonderful holidays!
