Spencer's Ideas

Sorry it took me so long to get this out here!

I do a lot of online "looking" and shopping for great deals, and I end up bookmarking things on amazon.com on a wishlist, so I figured I would just post it for ideas. Sometimes you can find things for really cheap, and even with free shipping.

Brands and labels are not important :-) But stuff like socks would be good to see for color matching....anyway. These are just ideas I keep on-hand!

Updates

This is Angela and I just wanted to warn you, over the past few days, I have doubled my wish list with a few more things I need and a lot of things I really want because I've seen them when we went shopping for the past few days. It has changed a lot so whoever has me might want to take a look to try and get me something more practical

Amanda's Listy

Hey everyone! After much deliberation, I have finally decided what I want for Christmas, though these are just suggestions. I will be happy with whatever because I love Christmas so much and I love you all so much.

1. Backstreet Boys CDs. I'm on a real kick right now. The ones I don't own are: Never Gone, Unbreakable, and This is us.
2. Justin Bieber CDs. I don't know what it is, but I just love him.
3. A cute hat scarf combo that would look good with my brown plaid coat, so nothing too crazy.

That's pretty much it. Thanks guys!! Happy Christmas!

Marilyn's List

Hi! I can't wait to see you guys again! Okay, here's a couple things I want/need

Fluffy fur ear muffs - black, white, or brown only. It's tough to pull off ear muffs as it is so please no pink leopard print or anything :)

I can always use camis and my favorite are Hanes Perfect Fit. I really only need black or nude.

garlic press

salad servers - I've just discovered some cool ones that are wooden and called "salad hands" and you can get them pretty much everywhere or online and they're cheap. Me gusta.

Target gift card

That's all I can think of! I'm pretty set for most everything else.

Love you all!

Mimi

Happy Halloween!!!!

Well, Saturday was the Annual Stout Family Halloween Party! We had so much fun! We had delicious soups for dinner, and caramel apples and other sweets that were just amazing! We had a pretty good spook alley, put on for the grups by the little kids (thanks to all the kids that helped!). We had a tough costume competition, but Shawna the Stegosaurus won. We had fun games like the donut-on-a-string eating contest :) We really had a blast. Thanks to everyone who was able to come!

Unfortunately, Mason was at Morp, but he will start our parade of costumes as a bee. :)

Halloween Party!

Hello family. Just so you all know, our Stout Family Halloween Party Extravaganza is being held October 23, 2010. It starts at 6:00, so be there!

FREE AT LAST!!!!!

As some of you know, we have been working our tails off doing apricot leather. We've had an

orange carpet on our deck for some time now. The process is very tedious and long. Picking, pitting,

blending, pouring, drying, picking, pitting blending, pouring drying. Over and over again! We have finally

finished . . . . . . Just in time for our plums! One unenthusiastic yay. it was kind of cool to see all of it out there

but very annoying when we had to race out and bring it in every time it rained.

It's a lot less frustrating when we do it in mass production. we put 3 tables and 2 plywoods out there so we didn't have to use one thousand dinky, little trays. that meant less to carry in but it was harder.
I asked mom if we could make a dress out of the leather that came off of the plywood so I wouldn't have to worry about meals. if I was hungry, I could just pull of a piece.
It was long and annoying but we got a souvenir! The size of a pan with a cougar print!

Neola!!!!

Okay, familia, so here is the Neola post. Sorry, I'll add narration at a later date. But for now here are the pictures: 4-wheelin'-

BB Guns-












Okay, and this is just from Mom's camera and I chose the one's that weren't blurry or anything. Also if anyone wants to add pictures from their cameras, remove some they don't want on, or replace ones with better ones, feel free. :)
