Here's a buffet of pics :) Mostly from my phone...
The girls have been getting brave in the kitchen- well, I guess it's more ME that's being brave - they have enjoyed doing some baking unassisted - it takes them FOREVER and they make a big mess, but they are successful little bakers! I have hope for the future :)
The kids have had a lot of playdates lately - I'm trying to be a fun mom about that :)
It's started to warm up, so we've been breaking out the swimsuits...
And now for a sad story... Becca got to babysit 2 baby chicks from her Kindergarten class- she had signed up to do it and it was just for one night. Becca took really good care of them... she was shocked and confused when the next morning she found that the smallest chick was stiff as a board and not moving - Emma brought it to me (gross!!!!) and said, "I think it's dead!" - so yes, we apparently killed one of the class pets. :( I had the unfortunate duty of going with Becca to school and telling her teacher that we are only returning one of the 2 little chickies. :(
Now for cheerful news... More Food Truck Friday!!
Hot dog in a pita... with feta, avocado and tomatoes... it was delicious!
I recently realized that playdough can be played with outside!! Why didn't I think of this earlier?!
And last, but MOST important - my brother is engaged!! He recently proposed to sweet Stefani at the bell tower at BYU - I got to watch it all from Arizona! Technology is amazing! They are getting married in the Draper, Utah Temple on June 8th!!
I didn't get any pictures, but I want to write it down so I remember later. Ben and I had our 11th wedding anniversary on March 30th. We had an awesome date! We went out to eat at Gertrude's at the Desert Botanical Gardens - it's a newly opened restaurant and it was AMAZING! This one is at the top of the list for awesome dining experiences (along with Quiessence and The Tree Room). After dinner, we switched gears and went go kart racing! It was awesome and I totally smoked Ben! ;) Love you babe!
Poor Becca! haha. Life can be tough.
ReplyDeleteThat little incident stands out in this post.
You are a good sport to let the girls 'do their thing' in the kitchen.
When you are older they can cook for you. That's how it seems to be turning out in my house.
Food truck Friday seems to be your families unique tradition now. Good idea.
