What the...

One night Taun was coming home from teaching a class in Morgan and when he got to Cache Valley it was snowing pretty bad and it was hard to see. He turned off the highway to go to Hyrum and suddenly there was a tree in the road. He had no time to stop (he tried) and he ran into the tree. It shattered the windshield and broke the wiper. He examined the work jeep and decided that there was not any damage to the vehicle besides the windshield so he went home and called the police. They said they had someone on it so he didn't worry about it anymore. About 1/2 hour later, I was coming home from Utah County and when I turned off the highway I was met by several police cars and 2 big trucks. One cop came to tell me what was going on and I informed him that it was my husband who had hit the tree. He asked me where he was now and I told him that he had gone home. The cop followed me home so that he could get a report for Taun to turn into work so that we would not have to fix the windshield ourselves. The windshield is now fixed and we are very grateful that it was not any worse and that Taun was not injured.

This is what happens when...

Alex left his bike in the driveway and someone ran over it. We have been telling our kids that if they leave their toys in the driveway they will get ruined and broke. I think they will listen better now that something actually happened to Alex's bike. Lucky for him, I was able to find the same bike at DI for $5. It had no seat but Benjamin quickly figured out that we could just put the seat from Alex's ruined bike on the "new" one and it would sork great! That is exactly what we did and it does work great. Alex rides it every chance he gets and he is really good at it. We may even try to take the training wheels off it this summer and let him learn to ride without them. It sure beats riding the pink princess bike he was given by the person who ran it over.

Look what I WON!!

These darling blocks just came in the mail today! I have a friend who makes these cute things and awhile back she had a contest and I WON!! I was so excited! They are double sided and they look great on my cabinet. They add so much SPRING to the room. Thanks Laurie!

Sneaky Little Leprechauns

We msde some traps this year to catch the little green men and we even filled them with all things green and some gold. The sneaky little guys took our gold and got away. They did leave us some yummy treats though. We will try again next year.

Pie Day (3.14)

On March 14th I was really stumped on what to fix for dinner (like always!) I was on facebook and several people were posting that it was pie day. In mathematical terms 3.14=pie. I thought it would be fun to join some of them that were having pie for dinner so I made a Chicken Pot Pie and then made a Vanilla pudding pie with bananas for dessert. Both were delishious and way easy. If you want the recipes just leave me a comment with contact info and I will send them to you.

I do like them!

Say!
I like green eggs and ham!
I do! I like them, Sam-I-am!
And I would eat them in a boat.
And I would eat them with a goat.
And I will eat them in the rain.
And in the dark. And on a train.
And in a car. And in a tree.
They are so good, so good, you see!
So I will eat them in a box.
And I will eat them with a fox.
And I will eat them in a house.
And I will eat them with a mouse.
And I will eat them here and there.
Say! I will eat them ANYWHERE!
I do so like
green eggs and ham!
Thank you!
Thank you,
Sam-I-am!

We tried green eggs and ham on Dr. Seuss' birthday (March 2nd) and we liked them!
