Fellow Food Blog lovers...

As many of you know I have a little secret passion for a few food blogs. Well, one of them I like to get a few practical and yummy recipes from. Several of these recipes have become "family favorites" that we all enjoy!

Well, the fun part about this blog, Taste and Tell is that she does spotlights on people every month I think.

Anyway, she spotlights fellow bloggers and guess who she picked...drum roll please...No one better than Shandra's Deals to Meals blog. It's really cute. She asked her a bunch of questions, showed pictures, etc. Go take a look it's really fun! Way to go Shan we are all proud of you!! :)

This one below is probably my absolute favorite next to Shan's of coarse, but since I know all her recipes, I go To Mel's Kitchen Cafe for new ideas...really love this one!

A little bit of everything!

This last week has been busy. I'm sure I'm not the only one getting excited for Summer! Oh, I guess it would be spring time. Here's a quick update on fun things that have been happening.

It is my month again for Joyschool. Our joy for the month is Spontaneous Delight! So a suggestion they had in the book was to have a popcorn popper pop popcorn but without the lid. Well that's exactly what we did. The kids thought it was the best thing! I took video of it and when the popcorn started popping out into the air the children all screamed with delight. It turned out being a very fun activity!

Here's to Rosecrest 3rd ward Region basketball team! Due to the ever growing belly I couldn't participate in any of the games this season. But there was no reason I couldn't join the team on the bench to cheer them on! Last year we went past round one, this year they went to round two! Way to go ladies!!! On the final game, Amanda (another prego from the team) brought oranges and Capri Sun drinks for the team. What a great season. Bring on next year!!

My dad gave the grandkids some money for our California vacation and Alayna never really had the chance to spend her money. So when we got home she has found two things to buy. One, a pair of flip flops and the second was a kite. We've had such crazy weather lately that finally we had a warm day with wind. With Jared's help all the cousins were able to have a great time flying a kite.

I'm sure you're not surprised that Alayna picked a "fairy" kite!

Let me introduce you to Mr. Independent. As I've explained in a previous post about Jacob's new and growing stronger habits of being independent. He truly is hilarious. The phrases we hear all day long are..."Me, Jakey do it!" "Jakey's turn!" So I wasn't surprised when he insisted on dressing himself. I've been battling with him picking what shoes and socks to wear, but now it's the entire outfit. So this is what he came up with! He thought it was great, his baseball shirt on the bottom and a striped onsie on top! Really, why do my kids pick the ugly outfits and clothing out instead of the cute stuff? I let him run around for a while this way, but when he kept wanting to some how cover his belly I offered my assistance. He would have none of that. So he sat crying with his back to me upset that I was trying to teach him how to put them on correctly. Eventually he said, "Mom, Jakey Happy!" He decided on wearing his favorite outfit, "My baseball shurt and shorts!" So here's to day number ten again in a row of wearing his favorite pj's all day long!
He wants to be like dad..."Jakey, TIE mom!" His dress up started with trying to wear a tie, but once he added the fuzzy blue hat I had to pull out the camera! What a funny kid.

And last but not least. I have been helping my sister TONS with her new adventure in spreading the company to Southern California and Nevada. It has required several LATE nights and figuring out how to do computer work with two kids climbing on me. We have started it only a week ago and we have had TONS of feedback and interest. It really is amazing how just through word of mouth good ideas and companies can spread. So here's to all my blogging friends, if you know anyone in those two areas pass on the website www.dealstomeals.com or email california@dealstomeals.com or Nevada@dealstomeals.com to get involved! Thanks for spreading the word!!
