Yellow Teeth

Lily got yellow candy from playgroup. She had this in her mouth when I got to playgroup to pick her up. She kept it in her mouth the whole way home. She refuses to chew it. She still has it in her mouth. I guess we will wait for it to disintegrate.

So what

So what, if Lily insists on putting sprinkles on her hot dog & in her macaroni & cheese?

Why does is matter if she eats cereal out of a spray bottle, or eats Chinese Noodles out of her dirty slippers that she wears all day... everyday? It's okay, if she prefers her Churro dipped in super hot-salsa, her grapes covered in honey-butter, and her blueberry muffin dipped in ranch dressing.
Who cares if she runs around in bare-feet during sacrament meeting, then sits down to enjoy the random but tasty snacks that have gathered on the bottoms of her feet?

As long as she's trying new foods. Right?

Pregnant Monster

I love this picture Ella drew at school today. This is a picture of a pregnant monster eating a sandwich with a smiling olive on top. I like that the monster is wearing a bow. I love that the monster and the baby in her tummy look so happy. I like the super long arms. I like that Ella put an olive on a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I like that the olive is smiling.

Winner! Winner! Trisha Dinner!

Please excuse my nerdy title. Lack of sleep? Maybe. Or maybe I just want Trisha to marry someone with the last name dinner. The winner of my giveaway is Trisha! Don't worry Trisha, I won't make you dinner. That would just be mean since I lack in culinary skills. I will make you something fun. I don't know what yet, but I'll post it when it's finished.
I'll do more giveaways like this once I'm in my house.

Wonderland Party

Today my cousins threw their mom a fun "Alice in Wonderland" party.
Happy Birthday Janene!

Let me make you something: Giveaway

Many of you know that our house was supposed to be finished last month. We had several setbacks... some scarier that others, but it looks like things are finally starting to work out. Tyler has been working long hours to get our house finished for us, and it looks like it should finally be done next month (cross your fingers). Anyhow, I'm starting to pack and get ready to move. I know it's kind of early, but since we have 3 times the amount of business equipment, than we have furniture and day to day stuff, it's going to take a while to get everything packed up.

Before I pack all my crafting supplies, I wanted to do one more Giveaway. Similar to the giveaway I did last year, I'd like to make something fun for one commenter on my blog.

So, if you want to play along, just leave a comment on this post. I will pick a winner (using random.org) on Tuesday. Then, before I pack up all my crafting supplies, I'll make one last craft for the winner. *Please note that I can't make any guarantees that you'll actually like what I make for you, but I can guarantee that I'll have fun making it for you.

This makes me laugh

a lot!

No Candy?

Saturday we went to the Jones' house for an Easter Egg hunt and lunch in-between conference sessions.
Sunday we went to Emily's house for an Easter Lunch & to finish watching conference. Emily added flowers to make this tree from the dollar store a cute center-piece.

The girls went on an Easter egg hunt. The eggs were filled with the true story of the meaning of Easter.
This is what happens when the Easter Bunny doesn't leave any candy... Lily tries to eat our Easter decorations instead. Above, you can see she took a bite out of an egg. Below, you can see that she dismantled a chick... as she was looking for Chocolate.

Although the Easter Bunny didn't leave any candy, he/she did leave a fun toy for the girls.

Busy week

This week has been filled with fun, including a baby shower, play dates, a late night movie with my mother/sister-in-laws. Friday we went down to Provo to celebrate my mom's birthday. Ella was invited to a fun sleep over at Katie's house.

Easter Cookies

Ella's cousin, Breana invited the girls over to decorate Easter cookies this afternoon. The girls had a great time.

More FHE fun

We had so much fun at our last FHE, Tyler's parents invited us for a repeat night. This time we added paper airplane flying to the night of fun.

Before leaving, I waited until what I thought was the last second to get Lily dressed in a cute (and clean) spring outfit. We didn't get in the car soon enough, Somehow Lily found enough time to change into a dirty sponge-bog pajama top, Car bottoms, & princess skirt. Silly Lilly.

2nd Car

We finally got a 2nd car. I never, in my life, thought I would be so happy to drive a van.

Sharing a car with Tyler wasn't too bad at first. Sharing a car is always hard. Sharing a car while trying to run 2 businesses is much harder. Sharing a car while trying to run two businesses & build a house is completely insane.

Today I feel more than twice as productive as usual. No more telling Ella’s school I can't come pick her up early, because by the time I walked a mile & 1/2 uphill in the snow with a 2 year old, school would be out. No more trying to take a gigantic hot meal to a family, that happens to live in another neighborhood, in a blizzard with 2 crying kids, only to find out that the family isn't home. No more saying, "I wish I could, but I don't have a car” I could go on for days.

Needless to say, we are so happy to have a 2nd car!
