Easter Pictures

For Easter we were in Grantsville and celebrated with my family. On Saturday we went out to "Easter Island" and celebrated. We rode four wheeler's, ate, shot clay pigeons, made smores, and spent some good quality time around a nice warm camp fire. We have such great memories of going out there, I am so lucky to be able to carry on the tradition with my children.

All of Us!

Dying Easter Eggs

On Thursday we dyed Easter eggs. Baylin had a BLAST!!! I thought her eggs turned out so nice and colorful. She is so proud of them!!! Great job Baylin!

Disney Princesses on Ice

Cinderella in her carriage going to the Ball

Baylin and I went and saw Disney Princesses on Ice last Saturday at the Energy Solutions Arena. It was so much fun! Baylin had a really good time. We had 5th row seats so it seemed as though we were actually part of the show. Baylin said that her favorite princess is Cinderella. The performance was so amazing. I was so amazed with all the different things they could do on the ice.

Jess This One's For You!

Jessica wanted me to post this recipe. It is really great! It is good for you as well. Try it!+

Beef Noodle Bowl

1/2 lb. linguine, uncooked
3 cups broccoli florets (I use frozen, its easy)
3 carrots peeled (I use baby carrots and I put in as much as I want!)
2 tsp. oil-EVOO
1 lb. beef sirloin steak, cut into strips
1/4 cup Kraft Asian Toasted Sesame Dressing (secret ingerdient, just kidding!)
1 Tbsp. teriyaki sauce

COOK pasta in a large saucepan as directed on package, adding vegetables to the boiling water for the last two minutes. I usually add the carrots before the broccoli. They tend to take longer to cook than the broccoli.

MEANWHILE, heat oil in large nonstick skillet. Add meat; cook until browned on all sides, stirring occasionally. Stir in dressing and teriyaki sauce; cook 2 min. or until sauce is thickened, stirring occasionally.

DRAIN pasta mixture; place in large serving bowl. Add meat mixture; toss to coat.

ENJOY!!!

Baylin Has Picture Day and Peyton is Getting His Two Top Teeth

Baylin had picture day today at school. She was so excited to have her pictures taken! I thought she looked adorable.

Peyton has a cold so I stayed home from school with him today. He is getting his two top teeth and his gums are so swollen. I think that is why he doesn't feel very good. I hope those darn teeth come in soon. I feel so bad for him. He loves his johnny jumper. He thinks it is the best to jump and play in it! He is so happy even though he doesn't feel very good.

Mom and Baylin

This picture was just taken of me and Baylin. I thought it was really cute! Baylin is such a sweetheart ( most of the time).

Our New Table

We got a new kitchen table today! I am so excited! We have been wanting one for a while. It fits our kitchen just right. It has stools with no backs, so we bought Baylin a stool with a back because we weren't sure how she would do with no backs on the stools. We are looking for some stools with backs that we like. I like the stools it came with though. They are lots of fun!
