2 c milk (skim worked fine)

6 oz frozen limeade

Mix together till frothy and pour into glasses.

Add 7-up to fill glass. Add small scoop of lime sherbet and lime for garnish.

Pesto Pasta with Asparagus, red and orange bell peppers. Super yummy!

St. Patrick's Day

This is Molly's new friend Kendall. We had her and her brother Cooper and Molly's cousin Trais and friend Abby come over for cookie decorating and green lunch today. This was the only picture I got. Can you believe it? You'd think I was busy doing other things the whole time. Anyway, it was a lot of fun. We had green applesauce, green grapes, green pears, brown chicken nuggets and red catsup. The moms had green spinach salad with pears, avocados, almonds and craisins. It's always fun to celebrate anything. It was so nice out today that the kids ate outside and decorated their cookies outside (easy clean-up).

Early Celebration

We invited some new friends over for a day early St. Patrick's Day Celebration on Monday. First one gal made up a poem about shamrocks and read it to the kids with her homemade poster and everything. Then they colored and finally finger painted. It was a lot of fun.

6 Months

I thought maybe I should start acting like my second child really isn't my second, neglected child. Foster is 6 months. Seems like he's been with us forever. Sure do love this boy. He's so happy ALL of the time. Well, at least most. He gets a little anxious when he sees food coming his way (spoon or otherwise).

Just a few facts about Foster:

• Weight: 14lbs even
• Length: 25.5 inches long
• Head: 17 cm
• Immunizations: Check
• Bedtime: 7:00 p.m. sharp (his choosing)
• First wake up time: varies, he did sleep through the night twice now
• Morning wake up time: around 7:30 a.m. and he will just lay there for 30 mins of cooing
• Loves: Jolly Jumper, Molly, Dad and food (Me)
• Holds: anything we put in front of him
• Sits: all on his own
• Eats: baby food (and can't get enough at times)
• Features: best smiley eyes

Denver Trip

Scott had been going out to Denver for day trips since we moved here to Utah. I told him he needed a week long training there so we could all go out. He came home and said, "well, they want me to go to Denver for a week training in February". Needless to say, our tickets were booked and we were ALL going out. We had such a fun time visiting friends. Thanks everyone for making us dinner and lunch, having play dates with us, letting us stay at your house all day till Scott got off work, going to the parks with us, and for going out to eat. We miss you all soooo very much and enjoyed the reunion.

One day we went to "Little Monkey Bizness" with friends, Cassidy and Hudson and Courtney and Lindsay. It was perfect for their age groups.

More Denver

Guess Lindsay wasn't too happy at this moment

Picasa hard at work. It was fun they had this room the kids could entertain their creativity. Aprons and all.

Gotchya!

Rock Band

Scott's brothers came in from Rexburg the same weekend as the girl weekend. Guess they didn't want Scott to have to watch chic flick movies all by himself. They had to bring Rock Band to keep some testosterone in the house. We had tons of fun playing it. Come down any time boys but don't forget Rock Band!

Just a cool shot Scott's brother, Brian, took

So much focus

Girls Weekend

Scott's mom flew in from Vancouver, sister flew in from Georgia, and sister-in-law flew in from Ohio to meet Amy and I here in Utah. It was a great girls weekend. Scott's sister works for QuikCutz Scrapbooking Co. so we had free access to her croproom. Amy and Lisa spent a few more hours in there by themselves, before Mary, Sarah and I joined them. It was a great weekend. Some favorites were:

• girl movie (Mamma Mia) with comfy p.j's
• Girls night out -- temple night
• factory outlet shopping
• celebrating Sarah's birthday with yummy white chocolate raspberry cheesecake
• eating chips and salsa
• watching Scott make mocktails
• girl talk
• learning to be creative making cards (thanks Lisa and Amy)
• having everyone over for Sunday dinner
• Cafe' Rio lunch --- mmmmmm yum

Valentines Day

We took a few photos of the kids at Valentines Day to send to my mom and grandma. Just thought I'd post em' here too. I can't believe how much they change in just a few short months.

Happy Boy

Nervous Boy

So sweet
