Sunday Dinner

It is always fun to have family or friends over for Sunday dinner. This week we had the Dorius's join us. It was a holiday weekend so the kids didn't have school the next day. We had fun eating, playing games and visiting.

 

 

A friend of Madi's brought over some delicious bread that he had just made.

Cupcakes

 

 

 

Madi made some of the cupcakes from the book mom/grandma gave us for Christmas. They are so cute.

Traveling Goodies

When Jeff goes away on a business trip the kids can't wait to see what he is going to bring home for them. On this trip he went to Boston but had a lay-over in Phoenix. He found some very interesting treats in Phoenix.

Madi and Taylor enjoying the sucker with a SCORPION inside it.

 

Here is some cactus candy. It was actually really good.

 

This is the cactus candy.

Some of the kids ate a claw but Jeff ate the rest of the scorpion. Gross. I'm sure dad/grandpa is getting really grossed out looking at this (he has a weak stomach). 

Onions

Emma wanted to try cutting onions because she heard it makes you cry. Her eyes were burning but she had fun cutting her first onion.

Lunchtime

When I tell my kids to come home for lunch I know that I need to cook for six not three. I enjoy their friends coming too so it is fun to make food for all of them. Fun memories for my kids.

Dinner Date

We got together again with friends from Antelope and had a great time. We had dinner at the Red Iguana( not to be confused with the Blue Iguana which is closed for renovations)and it was delicious - highly recommend it. We seem to laugh a lot when we are together and I think Kevin and Todd have a lot to do with that.
two words...man card!

New Year's Day 2010

Finally, my final post from the holidays. I have had some problems with my computer. FYI, if any are wondering why I haven't commented on your blogs, it is because my computer won't let me do that either right now.

New Year's day was spent up at the Sharp's house. It was a snowy day up there and we all had a good time relaxing, sipping hot cider, playing games, shooting guns and playing in the snow.

 

It seems to be a new thing I do that every time we get in the car to go somewhere as a family, I put the camera up high and take a picture of the kids in the back seats. Madi is always in the pictures and always making that face. Jeffrey is never in the picture.

 

I hear Jillian is hysterical to play memory with. She cheats by biting on the cards and wins everytime.

 

 

 

Cute, but will be in our freezer soon

 

Working on the Peanut's theme

 It will be fun to see these two girls in pictures together through the years like Taylor and Dalis

 

Fun day with a fun family.
