New Work Truck

Heath got a work truck yesterday! 2009 Dodge. It is going to be so nice to have another car! Don't you just love the smell of new cars....? Well this one smells A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! Perfectly clean, just as Heath keeps his cars....(let me tell you)!

Utah Opera

Tonight my good friend Carol and I went to the Utah Opera at Capitol Theatre. We saw "Carmen." I absolutely loved it. The acting and singing was fantastic and the set design was incredible! It was a lot of fun. Heath even let me buy a new dress for it! If you've never been to the Opera, go- it is wonderful!

Baby Ava is here!

Ava Grace Howe. Isn't she adorable?

Utah Symphony

Our wonderful friend Christian gave Heath and I tickets to the Utah Symphony last Saturday. We had wonderful seats near the front and enjoyed a beautiful Christmas program. The Utah Symphony Chorus sang, as well as four of Utah's talented opera singers. The orchestra was enchanting! What a great way to celebrate the Christmas season. Thank you Christian! Thank you Heath for taking me!

Christmas DVD Collection

The Clason family always watched Christmas classics growing up. Heath has been so kind and each year has started my collection perfectly......It's a Wonderful Life....White Christmas.....and this year, Miracle on 34th Street. Thank you Heath for letting a little bit of my favorite memories with my family, be a part of our new one. I love you.

Yamboree Day 2

Friday morning we went to the FRIDAY PARADE...mostly the high schools from around the area. Then we went to the Gilmer square where all the rides and booths were. We saw a lot of people that Heath grew up with, and enjoyed spending time with all of his family. For lunch I got a HUGE corn dog- delicious!!! Not just a regular state fair corn dog like I had in Utah, but a Texas corn dog.

That night we went back to the square and went to the street dance. (Pictures of course didn't turn out). They had a local country singer, and everyone sat around, danced, ate all sorts of food I had never heard of. A funnel cake for example. A huge plate of fried dough sprinkled with powdered sugar. It was delicious. Britni told me all about the JUMBO smoked turkey legs that are very popular, those were good too! (see the turkey leg below). We rode rides, bought all kinds of yummy fried foods, BLUE BELL ice cream, DR. PEPPER---the texas must-haves.
This Jumbo turkey leg was really good! I couldn't get my own because I had just eaten a plate of fried dough, and was going to ride some rides, but oh man, I should have! Saturday was the biggest day....pictures coming tomorrow.
