A Chef in the Making?

Eryn is learning cook, I've taught her a few things to make. A couple of weeks ago she brought home a childrens cook book from the library, and this was the first recipe she made from it. It was delicious, and pretty!

I Like Big Butts and I Can Not Lie

Here are our big butts! The kids love it when I make these Butt Rolls. Although today I let them raise a little too long, and they were HUGE. As I pulled them out of the oven I couldn't resist breaking out in song- which the kids tried to sing along (bad move on my end). Thank goodness they didn't get past the first line!
They were still as delicious as always. We like big butts!

Conversation

Kyle: Kids mom and I are going out for a while, you get to eat dinner without us tonight.

Eryn: You mean we're eating alone? Yea! No Prayer!

I'm Back!

For the last week, we have been without the internet. I know, how could we have gone that long without this necessity? I really don't know how we survived, according to our kids this was to most boring place EVER! We had cableone....you could not believe all the problems we had between 4 different cable boxes...they could never figure out the problems, so we decided to get rid of it. We should have thought through things before we had it disconnected, because going with Qwest was going to take forever (5 days) before our internet would be up and running. Finally here we are a week later and I'm feeling like I'm finally connnected to the world again.
So here I am blogging again, I just wish I had something fun to blog about :(

Happy New Year!!!

This New Years Eve we stayed home as a family and had a wonderful time. We set up a table in the family room and watched the Disney Channel Countdown (Oh Joy!). I made my families tradition of Pizza Fondue, chips with assorted dips, bacon-wrapped lil smokies, boiled cookies, sparkling white grape juice, and some other things that I can't recall now 5 days later. We ate, cleaned up, played games and let the kids stay up til midnight! I know we're crazy! They were excited to stay up like grown-ups......All I can say is Thank Goodness for naps :)


Happy New Year Friends and Family!

Christmas 2008

Bryce was perfectly content getting his "Russian hat" and a book he's been hoping to get. He would have been happy with just these two gifts...too bad we didn't know that before the shopping.


Eryn really enjoyed testing out her Cupcake Maker right off the bat! Umm Umm Good!


Kaitlyn was thrilled with her Hair Extension Kit......just what she wanted!!

We had a nice Christmas at home, and of course spent time at my parents home, playing in the snow, playing card games and eating. Always good times!!

Funny Story....

Bryce is a Deacon now, and has been called to be the Deacon Secretary. He's pretty proud of this calling. (He likes feeling important) Anyways I was talking with the Deacons Presidents mother, and she was telling me how her son decided to pick Bryce. I guess when he was called- he knew immediately that he wanted Bryce for his secretary because he noticed in class that Bryce was taking notes. When she told me this, I was thinking....that really surprises me- I hadn't taken Bryce for the note taking kind of boy......as his mom, I'm impressed! So, later that day when I picked up Bryce from school I proceeded to tell him about the note taking. Bryce sat there and listened, thought about it, and then started laughing......and says "I was drawing!" He was drawing Nephi cutting off Laban's head. Nice Bryce, nice.
