Our sister, Brooke, had such a GRRRReat idea! So I want to hear from you! All of you! :)

Being a newly married couple we have had fun the last few months trying new recipes. But I am running out of places to look and am a little wary about some of the recipes in these books I have, and some just have too many ingredients. So...drum roll please...we want your recipes!

Post your favorite recipes, recipes that you have used before and love. Easy recipes are great, especially if you have any tasty crock pot recipes. In the end anything goes! 

We are excited to see what we get! Thank you all!

I saw this on my friend Jen's blog and am so excited to do it!!!!!

This is how it works: Pay It Forward Exchange is based on the concept of the movie "Pay it forward". I will send a hand made gift to the first three people who leave a comment to this post on my blog requesting to join the PIF exchange. All the gifts will be made and posted out 'sometime within the next year'. How exciting to not know when your surprise package will arrive! What you need to do in return, is pay it forward by making the same promise on your blog. This Exchange is only open to those with active websites or blogs. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS PROMISE TO POST THIS SAME 'PAY IT FORWARD' MESSAGE ONTO YOUR BLOG, WHICH MUST BE ACTIVE IN ORDER TO PLAY. YOU WILL PAY IT FORWARD TO THREE PEOPLE WHO COMMENT ON YOUR BLOG. I'd love for you to join me! Will you? Other comments are welcome, but only the first three will be my Pay It Forward recipients. Come and join me who doesn't love a gift or giving gifts???

Horray for being crafty!

During our honeymoon and thanksgiving break Scott and I (with the help of Alex and Ben, thanks guys!) came up with some awesome names for our future children. We are pretty excited about them. Be sure to pay close attention... (and no, I am not pregnant. We are just looking excitedly to the future! :) )

-Violet. She will go by Vi. Vi Kinghorn (put the words together...here, I will help you on this one but you are on your own the rest of the way. Vi Kinghorn=Viking Horn)

-Haun Kinghorn

-Cree Peestaul Kinghorn

-Kauw Meel Kinghorn

So today for some reason this was playing through my head and I came up with another one:

-Mark Avery Kinghorn

Go ahead, join in the fun. What are some names you can think up????

For those of you who are new to our blog, Cassie does speak portuguese but our title is not a different language. Near the beginning of our posts she wanted to do something a little different to make people laugh and when she put the pictures on the site they all ended up backwards...so there is where she was inspired. We now always put our titles backwards to make it more excitable to read :).

We have been very blessed these past few months. We are lucky to spend a good bit of time together during the week. More than we ever will in the future (after college) probably. Cassie is working for Journey's in Rigby. She works with developmentally disabled adults and has been assigned to work with three of them here in Rexburg. She plans activities to do with them in the community and is really enjoying herself. She gets home a little later on Monday and Tuesday but the rest of the week she is normally home by three, the same time Scott gets out of his classes on MWF. Since Cassie has the car during the day Scott worked out a deal with his brother Dan and now has a bike to ride to classes. It is a little easier to ride around town than his mountain bike so it has been nice. Since the weather has been a little warmer lately the snow has been melting thus leaving Scott with wet pants...hehe...so he went to Bill's Bike Shop in Idaho Falls last weekend and got himself a fender (if anyone is confused as to what a fender is you can feel free to contact Scott's sister Becky...or look at the picture below).

considering how geeky fender's are in the biking world, Scott is actually pretty proud to show off his snazzy, un-geeky, fender :)

It even has an extension for those super drippy wet days ;)

Scott and Cassie have been saving up their shopping list and yesterday made plans to go get it all at Winco. It was a successful shopping trip and is a great idea! They were able to get good deals considering the amount of things they needed. It was a very fun trip, mostly because of the company of course. 

They had planned their Winco shopping trip around their desire to use some of the gift cards they had received from friends and family for the Olive Garden. Once they left Winco Cassie realized that she had not only forgotten the shopping list for Winco at home (they were successful in remembering what had been on it for the most part) but that she also forgot the very important gift certificates. :( booooo! So they went to Super Wal-mart and looked for a desk (more info on that below)and came back to Rexburg and just got some Burger King instead. (thus the look of pain on Cassie's face.)

Cassie has really been enjoying having a semester off from homework and school. She does have her job to keep her busy...and a husband to feed... but feels like she gets to enjoy life more. She loves to read and has been going to the library a lot with the three girls she is working with. While they play on the computer or look at books, Cassie takes advantage of the location and gets some books for herself. 

At this point in time Cassie is reading: Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone

Specials by Scott Westerfield

Eragon

The Host by Stephanie Meyer

Inkdeath by Cornelia Funke

and As the Ward Turns by Joni Hilton

She is not sure why but for years now she has really enjoyed reading multiple books at the same time...not at the same minute of course, that is impossible! But during the day she will pick up each book and read a chapter or two. She is loving having this extra time to enjoy these great books. 

They are finally moved in! Scott and Cassie did find the kind of "desk" they were looking for. They wanted something that was long enough that they could both work on it and something that Cassie could scrapbook on. They found a great deal and now are situated and OUT of the kitchen :) Horray! Cassie is very excited to have more counter space :)

Yay for happy times and being lucky!

This is our wonderful life.

we have been tagged! How exciting, our first being tagged moment of our married life. My uncle Tony tagged us and here are the seven things you don't care to know about me (Cassott).

We are the cutest couple ever, and are not too proud to admit it. 

We have clean noses, and take care in the quality that is therefore shown in our pictures.

We eat good. Especially Scott. He IS a growing boy.

We teach kids to do bad things. Scott taught Zoie Frongner to eat a potato raw and tricked her into thinking that she liked it. After a few minutes she was even offering to share, as shown in this picture.

Unlike most people, we knew (subconsciously) on our first date that we were meant to be together. This picture was taken on our first date! Yep, we are insanely amazing like that.

We are immortal! At least we think so. 

While we were dating we took turns getting hurt and taking care of each other. Scott got into a super intense bike wreck after a couple of weeks of us dating. The next week I sprained my ankle pretty bad and still months later it hurts if I twist it wrong. We are special.

And most importantly, we like each other! This is something that our siblings particularly don't care to know so we thought it very important to add to our list. 

TAG! You're it!

1. Emily Kinghorn

2. Brooke Kinghorn

3. The Frongner's

4. Jessi & Paul

5. The Dansies

6. Natalie Horrocks

7. Krystal Simpson

So here are the rules:

We had a very very very very very very VERY white Christmas :). Before yesterday we had about a foot of snow. Then it snowed all day yesterday! So now we have closer to 2 feet of snow. It made for a very white first Christmas :) We are excited to go play in it today. 

So here is a preview of the special Christmas we had. Scott and I have decided to do something super special every year, we are going to make nativity's every year. So this is our first homemade nativity:

We are impressed with ourselves since neither of us are very super dooperly artistic. 

We got some exciting presents. We received presents from both of our families and Timmy will be very proud of me for posting this picture. This is the very warm hat he gave me for christmas (notice Timmy how I didn't say how ugly it is? You should be proud of me.)

I also got some cool socks from my parents and Scott and I decided that they were cool enough to wear.

I made Scott a beanie for Christmas and he received a nice blanket from work. We also received lots of games and things for our house. We were very lucky and very very blessed. Thanks families!

Dan was here with us for Christmas and we all worked together to make the perfect Christmas dinner. It was the first fancy dinner Scott and I have had in our first house. It is so much fun to have so many firsts here in our first little cute little yellow little house. :)

We had ham, cheesy potatoes, salad, and sparkling cider. All the goodness of life. We are excited for meals today because we have leftovers! wawho :)

So here is a preview of the snow! This car is our neighbor's and has been parked in their driveway all during break so this is all the snow that has fallen since students left for break. 

This is Scott pulling into our driveway. If you pay close attention you will notice that the mounds of snow on either side of our driveway are about as tall at Betsy (the car). I am going to work on fixing that today so we can actually see when we pull out of the driveway. After we had eaten all three of us went out and cleared our driveway of snow. There was close to three feet of snow at the end of the driveway from where the snowplows had cleared the road. I wish I would have got a picture of that! It took us over an hour to get the driveway cleared. 

This is right outside of our door and this is the snow that had fell yesterday. To the right is where we push the snow over but this area was mostly cleared when we went to bed christmas eve...

After our hard work we came in and had some tasty apple crisp :) It was the first time I had ventured into making it and it turned out tasty! 

We had a very special day and are so grateful for the many blessings the Lord has given us. We love our Savior and are grateful for the chance we have to celebrate his birth and life, not just on Christmas, but throughout the year! :)

Before I give you updates, be sure to pay attention to the slideshows! I put up a new one today :) 

Yesterday Scott had the day off so he took me to work at the Manwaring Center and then he and Dan went Christmas shopping. After I got off work they came and got me and dropped me off at home before venturing out again. While they were gone I got to clean, it was great fun! I got to use our new washer and dryer!!! Yipee! When Scott came home the second time he made us dinner. Here are some of the adventures he had :)

Peak season is in full swing! We calculated last night and realized that Scott worked 26 hours in a two day period! He has been helping the driver and working real hard. On Friday he got home while I was still at work and so he showered and got cleaned and then came and got me and we went to dinner. You wouldn't think he had cleaned himself up looking at these pictures:

but he did! He scrubbed and scrubbed and all the brown was left. I even had him fingerprinted to document his lack of fingerprints because he doesn't use gloves so his fingertips become very smooth. It is crazy cool. 

Well, I have been waiting for us to get a desk to do this, but then I decided that this has been a part of our life for 2 months and needs documented so you might as well see it too! So I made a video of your grand tour of our house. I hope you enjoy it! I did forget to show you the door to our guest bedroom where Dan is staying so if you pay attention you will see it. If you have problems with motion sickness you may want a pill or patch ready (Hallie and Mom)

Merry Christmas!
