Since Melissa won't blog!...

Here are some adorable pictures Melissa had done of her sweet baby Parker...

Granted, these were taken a few weeks ago-so he is bigger now, but just as cute!

Just some random happenings...

Hayden did Junior Jazz again this year. We were able to take him and his friend to the Jazz game against the Kings. I always love going to Jazz games, but it was even more fun this time taking Hayden to his first game. He loved it! Therefore, I loved it.

Rylan had been begging me to make gingerbread men (I'm not sure where he got the idea). And he of course wanted to make them great big, like in the story of "The Gingerbread Man". I didn't really want to, because first of all, I don't think he would like gingerbread and second of all, I don't have a gingerbread man cookie cutter that big!
We bought some sugar cookie dough and rolled it out and I "freehanded" cut out their gingerbread men. I have to say, I don't think I did so bad. However, Rylan made Hayden have the "retarded" one.Last Saturday morning I took the boys up to the Draper Temple open house. It was so beautiful! We had such a neat time. I was thankful we had the opportunity to do that.After the temple, we really didn't want to stay at home, so we went to Oak City. Brook & Melissa were down. So Hayden shooting with Ryder, Brook & my Dad. My mom & I took Ry and Jordyn to Brynn's birthday party. It was such a beautiful day. And I just have to say, I did such a great job making Brynn's cake! :) But I forgot to take a picture of it.On Wednesday when my mom was tending, she picked Jordyn up and I met her, the kids and Mal at "the dragon park" in Payson for lunch. It was so sunny and nice, oh how I long for summer!

St. Patty's Day

Have I ever mentioned that my kids love holidays? Every holiday? They have been counting for St. Patricks day ever since Valentines Day!

Those darn Leprechauns are so tricky. Hayden & Rylan (and my mom) made a Leprechaun Trap-and it didn't work at all!
The top of the hat has a hole in it and they put some gold coins on top to attract the leprechaun, then if they went up there-they would fall in, but those leprechauns are pretty smart and they didn't fall for it.
They sure messed our house up and left the furniture all crazy, but at least they did leave the boys some candy.
Gosh, if I ever see one of the leprechauns for real, I think I would have to kick their butts for making such a mess of my house!

And then of course we have to eat in the spirit of St. Patrick's Day. For breakfast we always have lucky charms and then for dinner we have a "green dinner". Since I was working this year, we had to have something quick and easy. (Dee opted to eat something else-what a party pooper!-I guess I can't blame him, it looked pretty disgusting). So here is a picture of our delectable dinner, which consisted of: hot dogs, green pickles, green mac & cheese, green cottage cheese and green milk. Yum!

Thanks Flo!

Well I'll be danged.....they cater???
Psst.....here's a secret. Did you know that the very best burger restaurant in Utah Valley has expanded their horizons to include a catering business? I happen to know this because I'm definitely on the up and up with all the latest trends. Oh, and also, my father-in-law happens to be the owner of said restaurant. (But that's a minor detail.)That being said, here is my shameless plug for the brand new Burgers Supreme Catering. If you own your own company, are the boss of people, work for a company, work for a boss, plan family reunions, attend family reunions, are on the activity committee for your ward (and if you are, I'm sorry), attend activities in your ward, and may have anything to do with the planning of a shindig, big or small, Please......pretty, pretty please.....keep Burgers Supreme in mind for the job. If you have ever partaken of the sheer goodness that is Burgers Supreme, you will know of the quality of their food. (Plus their fry sauce is SO good you might just want to take a bath in it....go on, you can....we won't tell anyone.)C'mon do it.....just call them.....we all know you want to.http://www.burgerssupremecatering.com/
