Preschool




This week is my week to host Preschool. We talked about Springtime. We made pizzas for lunch and painted pots and planted tomato seeds. We read books about Spring, made butterflies, pulled "Spring" items out of a box, and even sang "Spring" songs. And while all this was going on.....it's snowing outside. Ugh.

Blue and Gold Banquet



We had a fun Chinese-themed Blue and Gold Banquet last night! We were celebrating Chinese New Year, which was awhile ago, but our first Banquet was cancelled due to a storm storm. We had Chinese music playing, yummy chinese potluck, and really cute and fun Chinese decor.

Easter Traditions...

Every year my sister in law, Laura, who is from Lithuania, dyes these eggs with onion and other Lithuanian secret ingredients. Then we have our Lithuanian Egg War. Basically you pick your egg... Smash it against another person's egg and see who's doesn't crack.You keep playing against the winners until there is one winner.Then the winner keeps their egg in the fridge for a year and eats it next Easter (but we don't play that way. ew) Uncle Jerry won this year. He was really excited.

I love raw eggs...

(picture courtesy of The Pioneer Woman Cooks! website)
Well, not really. But I L-O-V-E this recipe!!  I found it on the cutest website The Pioneer Woman Cooks! I made this pie last night. It's soooo good. The only thing is, it calls for raw eggs. If you want to try it click Here!  It's so easy!  I used a ready-made graham cracker crust, and extra creamy cool whip!  YuM! I also made her lasagna recipe, which Marcus loved. The boys like the traditional kind better.  I cannot wait to try more recipes from her!

I hope they call me on a mission...


This is Tanner before the missionary fireside. Isn't he the cutest little missionary you've ever seen??

Family Bowling Night


Saturday night we took the kids bowling. The little boys LOVE to bowl. They love the shoes, sliding around on the hardwood, and especially when the balls starts rolling back towards you if you did roll it hard enough!

I miss this girl.


It was so fun to have Karinne and Erik home for Mim's funeral....but the most fun was, AVA (Karinne's youngest)! I absolutely LOVE this girl! I couldn't get enough of her! I cannot wait to see her again when I go to Utah in May!
p.s.**you can totally see my lovely scar and tumor on the picture above.

Love these.

Are these not the best things ever!?! My nose was stuffy and running while grocery shopping so I grabbed the first tissues I saw. When I got into the car I blew my nose and......ahhhhhhhhh! They were awesome! I could breathe! Marcus was with me so I pulled one out for him even though he wasn't sick, "Try these!" Five minutes later we are driving down the road with tissues stuck up each nostril! Even if you're not sick, buy them for someone who is. You'll be their very best friend.
