cooking blues...

Some times I wonder why I even set foot in the kitchen, regardless that I love to cook and love eating even more. After so many times of hearing "yucky!", "ewwww", "I WANT SOMETHING ELSE!!!", etc... You get kind of worn down, ya know?

Seriously, am I an idiot or does such things as Italian Chicken, Stuffed Chicken Crescents, Hawaiian Fajitas and Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread really sound that gross? I get them to eat Oatmeal at any given moment, so where did I mess up?

I think I need to take my kids to a foreign country for awhile and let them taste Jellied Pig Knuckles on Rye Bread (Denmark) or Fish Soup (China) - maybe they will appreciate me more.

Man, I am so wiped out tonight from tears at the dinner table. My reality - little stinkers....love em all, but they sure are picky.

Our new baby girl...


We finally did it and joined the ranks of dog owners all over the world. The kids have begged for years and I have been completely against it. Shedding is not my thing. Until my Aunt started breeding Yorkies - who do not shed - did I become interested. For months we talked about it and Mike finally got on board. He loves dogs but only big ones - but I was NOT ready for big dogs and big poop.


We got her two weeks ago and our kids are in heaven. Maybe too much. The poor thing never gets left alone, but she is so happy. She loves to eat socks and chew on Karlys nightgown.


Oh yah, and biting Dallin's ear falls into her favorite category too. We need to work on that.


I do feel like I have a baby again and finally get to rest when she goes down for her nap. Cleaning up the poop is my lease favorite job, so I am counting down the months till she is potty trained! All in all, she is so fun to have! We named her KC - the kids wanted to name her after Karly, and I said "No." Then they wanted to name her after me, and I said "No." So our initials are KC and that is what she became. I really wanted "Molly" for some reason - but they all shot that down...regardless, she is one dang cute dog!

Halloween Fun


Witches night out with some of my homies from the neighborhood!



We danced and partied all night (well, not really) and it was SOOO FUN!!!!



Eating out with all the witches was quite the sight -




Karly wanted so much to look like me so she got into my lipstick and wrote all over her face before I left. She called herself "SACRY!!!". Love these little kidlets...
