Easter Pictures

I just got these pictures back from my friend Jenn  (jenniferkamp photography.blog spot.com).  She did a great job!  Thanks!  Happy Easter.

Crazy Leftover Night!

So I thought I'd share my dinner success from last night.  I wasn't in the mood to cook a big meal, and why should I since I had lots of leftovers in the fridge ( I wish I could say I'm this creative, but I got this idea from Shelley Wille's book, Great Kids are Home Grown--it has great fun family ideas).  Since I had leftovers from a few different meals, I had the kids draw numbers to see who got to pick their dinner first.  Instead of eating with plates, utensils, and glasses, I wrote down different kitchen items that could be substituted for "normal" dinner ware, and had the kids draw them from a jar.  They were so excited to be eating on cookie sheets and muffin tins with ice cream scoops and tongs and drinking from measuring cups and dessert bowls.  Anyway, the kids loved it, and we will definitely do this again.  I love getting great, easy ideas.  I was hoping for other creative brains to give me their tips.  Please reply!

Big News!

I'm pregnant!!!  Ha! Ha!  That was a joke (I should have saved that one for April 1st!)  No really, I have great news.  Clark's parents met this week with President Uchtdorf and were called as Mission Presidents in the Raleigh, North Carolina Mission.  They will report July 1st to the mission home.  We will miss them dearly, but are so excited for this new adventure.  We are so proud of you!

Our Gymnast

We just got these pictures back from Rylee's gymnastics class.  I thought they were pretty neat.  We found out she must have the Michael Jordan gene (tongue out when she gets air).  We are so proud of you, Rylee!
