Practice Makes Perfect

I was folding laundry and Adon came up to me and had written a few letters. I told him to write his name and this is how it came out. No help from Mom. Way to go buddy! I'm so proud. He is too!

Nothing As Cute

I decided that there is nothing as cute as my little Collin in footed pj's. He is getting so big!

Whats for Dinner?

For dinner I tried this new recipe from a "Kraft" cook book. Take 8 chicken breasts, thawed. Put two in a gallon freezer back and pound until 1/4" thick. Do that to all 8 pieces of chicken. In a bowl mix a box of stuffing, 1 can italian diced tomatoes, 1 T. dried basil, and 1/2 cup shredded motzerella chees (i always put more cheese in than it calls for since we roll in it). Mix together until stuffing is moist. Lay out each piece of chicken and put a bunch of the stuffing mixture on it, then roll it up. Place seam side down in a 13x9" baking dish. ( I lined the dish with tinfoil for easy clean up) Then take Red Pepper Italian dressing and pour some over the stuffed chicken. You can probably use what ever dressing or marinade you have lying around but this is what the recipe goes for. Bake in oven for 40 minutes at 350 degreese. Sprinkle a little more cheese on top when you pull it out of the oven. Serve with veggies, a salad, and garlic bread. You just made Bruschetta 'n Cheese stuffed chicken breasts. Yummy! Enjoy

A Cosy Fire and a Good Book

When its cold outside sometimes the best thing is to snuggle next to the fire place with a good book.....or sit on dad. This is Adon's "Grinch" face.
I love my boys!

Let it snow!

Northern Utah had a blizzard hit the day before Thanksgiving. Trouble for the holiday travelers. There is a bag of potatoes at the bottom of our stairs from our garden. I went to go get some for dinner and this is what I found. This is also only 45 minutes after it hit. The drifts in our back yard were up to Adons hips. We couldn't get our cars out of the drive way until 9 am the next day. Needless to say I didn't make it to work that night. P.s. Spanish Fork got an inch.

Legos!

Aaron has set of Legos for some Star Wars space ship. Here are a few designs the boys came up with; with a little help from Mom and Dad.
Collin is proud of his space ship.

The original design when you use all the pieces.

Magic Trick?

Sorry that I let a whole month pass with out updating my blog. We were getting out our winter clothes from storage and Adon was playing on one of the boxes. He wanted to "show me a magic trick" and to take pictures.
"Ta-DA!" That was his magic trick. I guess you will use anything for entertainmet when you are stuck indoors.
