Looking Back at 2013......Sam's Birthday

 On October 29, 2013, Samuel turned 8-years old/

 For his birthday we had a little family party at the Frozen Custard Shop

 Pizza was the fool of choice and received a thumbs up from the birthday boy.

He even co-ordinated his shirt for the occasion!

 The usual suspects were in attendance.

Jessica, Joshua and Courtney.

 Samuel huffed.......

 and puffed........

 and did finally blow out the candles!!

Samuel's birthday falls around Halloween, so we usually throw in some pumpkin carving fun!!

 

Removing the pumpkin guts.

Always fun for a kid who hates to get his hands dirty!

Sam was a good sport! 

 Drawing on his design.

The finished product!!

Can't believe Samuel has reached the ripe old age of eight!!

Time goes far to quickly......

Welcome to my Custard Shop!!

Purdy's Frozen Custard has been open for a little while now, and we are very happy with how things have been going.  This week has started off hectic and will not slow down at all until the end of the week.  It is great to have a family run business, but with that comes........hectic!!  Besides the custard shop, we also operate Tasman Services.  For 1/2 the year things involving Tasman are pretty quiet.  Then spring comes and it doesn't slow down or let up.  It is tough when our flavor wizard at the custard shop is also acting as the crew leader at Tasman!  As with most family businesses, it is all hands on deck at this time of year.

Even Samuel tries to help out.

He is our official greeter at the shop.

Sam likes to put on a apron and hat so he can be the "baker".

He then makes it his mission to greet all those who come in for a frozen custard.

"WELCOME to my custard shop!"

Sam likes to visit the shop nearly every day.  He marches up to the counter and places his order.

"Chocolate sundae with chocolate sauce, please!"

Most days he wants extra chocolate sauce, and some days he wants another sundae!

Sam's favorite lunch?

French fries from McDonald's and a chocolate milkshake from Purdy's

 



Even though Sam absolutely loves French fries and chocolate milkshakes, he does not dip his fries into his shake. 

 I know some people do that. 

 We have no qualms about people dipping their fries into their milkshakes.

They just have to BYOFF.

bring your own French fries!!!

 

It is amazing where life leads you sometimes.  27 years ago we hadn't even heard of frozen custard, let alone thought that one day we would be the owners of a frozen custard shop!!

How Purdy's Frozen Custard came to be!

Some big changes........

We have had quite a few changes over the past few months.

One of our biggest changes is that we are now the proud owners of.......

 This picture was taken at our official ribbon cutting.

We like to live on the edge and let Sam use gigantic scissors!

 The above photo, and the next few were taken at our "night before our official opening".  In 3 hours we scooped a very large amount of frozen custard!!!

 This photo wasn't actually taken at the before mentioned event.

Sam sets up appointments with various people to come and play "Sonic" or "Candy Land" with him.  The usual victims recipients (usually willing!!) are Scott and Christine Chambers.  They teach Samuel's class at church and he has latched onto them with a vengeance!!!!

Samuel loves the custard shop and likes to help. 

Here he is after he has busily wiped down all the counters.

Samuel's request never waivers when he comes it.

Chocolate milkshake.

and

chocolate custard with chocolate sauce.

Otherwise known as a Sundae!!

 

Why a custard shop you may ask???

Some days we ask ourselves the very same question!!!

Jim went to was in Salt Lake City on business and was staying with his brother, Mike, and his family.  One night Mike took Jim to Nielsen's Frozen Custard.  Jim made Mike take him back every single night he was there.

Jim came home and told me that one day he wanted to own a frozen custard shop.

I said, "That's nice honey...."

Last April we went to Utah for Joshua's graduation.

Every night Jim went to Nielsen's Frozen Custard.

I think I finally had some on our final night there.

Last month we finally opened our own frozen custard shop.

We will never go back to ice-cream.

 

So, if you are ever in the area and get a hankerin' for something delicious and some good old fashioned service with a smile........

Come on in and say "Hi!"
