The things we do for our kids

Tonight I made pork chops for dinner. Dallin excitedly came in and said, "Oh boy, chicken" when his sisters tried to explain to him what it is, he became upset and said that if it was not chicken he was not going to eat it becasue chicken is his favorite. We called it pc chicken and he ate the whole thing. Meat in our house now has new names so if you are ever at our house at dinner time, let me fill you in....
pork chops=pc chicken
turkey= t chicken
chicken=c chicken

My silly boy and my very creative girls. Good thing they love him so much!

Easter Weekend

This year for Easter we went to Boise and spent it with my sister Chris and her family. We had so much fun and cannot wait to see them again. As per tradition, the kids all got new Easter outfits. We decided that this year we would get Dallin a suit thanks to the great discount we get from Scott Christenson at Mr. Mac in Taylorsville. He looked so cute. When we got home from church, he asked if he could stay in his suit to hunt Easter eggs becuase he looked "Spiffy". I have to agree with him, he does look spiffy.

Shantel's finished Banner

Tonight Drue, Guy, Jeff, and Richard went to the priesthood session of conference. While they were at conference, Mickie, Shantel, Erin, and I made a banner for spring. We had a lot of fun working while the children played. Sarah did a fabulous job entertaining the little kids playing school. We had so much fun that we have decided to make this a monthly get together. We missed having Karenann with us. Maybe next month

Friday Date Night

Richard got off work early yesterday so he decided that we

should finish getting the carpet out so that it would be ready for spring cleanup. After much hard work, the capet is out of the livingroom. I am very pleased with the results.

Happy Birthday Dallin

Dallin turned 5 on the 28th of March. I can't believe that my little boy is already. It seems like just yesterday he was born. He is growing up to become just an amazing little man. We had a great little family party. Dallin enjoyed spending time with his grandparents. I made him a spider man cake which he loved to look at but would not eat it once the candles were blown out.
