So I have to thank Mrs. Gae Kunz for showing me the way to this website. It is a website that has crock-pot recipies on it. It is a blog where a lady is trying to use her crock-pot everyday this year. So far I have found a couple recipies I am wanting to try, there is a way yummy looking dessert on there, I will have to let you know how it turns out. You all should check it out, if you want to use your crock-pot that is :).
The website is...

Andy that is. He has moved on to painting the rest of the house. First he is doing the living room. So he moved all of my furniture to the middle of the room and started painting the walls. Brandon found it fun to have all of the furniture that close together, it made it easier to climb on. But I do have to inform you that this project didn't take forever like all of the other ones. He did it in 2 days, thats right people 2 DAYS! I think that is a record. It turned out pretty good, he is becoming a pro at painting now, he can do it pretty fast. I guess that is what happens when you paint the whole house at the same time.

This last weekend Staci and Breckyn came up to hang out with us before the blessing on Sunday. My inlaws were also here to hang out so my father in law wanted to take Brandon sledding. We found some snow clothes for Breckyn from one of the neighbors and off they went. Andy decided to go with them so I told him he was in charge of pictures. Brandon loves sledding, Breckyn not so much (according to Andy). Andy was really suprised at how timid Breckyn was compared to Brandon, afterall Breckyn is the kid that takes his bike of jumps and down stairs. I guess sledding is a whole different thrill. So Andy tried to take some pictures of them sledding, but Breckyn mainly wanted to just sit in the snow and eat it off of his gloves. He did get Breckyn to go down the little hill with Brandon a couple of times. I am so glad that they came.
Staci---Our boys are soooooo dang cute together! I hope they stay the best of buds, even though hundreds of miles separate them....love ya!
They boys eating the snow, it doesn't look yellow. :)

Today we (by we I mean Andy) blessed Tyler. It turned out to be a pretty good day. We held a breakfast for everyone at the University Inn up on USU campus. I which my wonderful husband woke up at 5:00 to bake biscuts for, which we ended up having way too many...we will be eating biscuts for weeks! Along with the biscuts we will also be having cinnamon rolls (made by my mother-in-law...all day Saturday-thanks Jeannine!), and muffins. Well, at least we know we won't starve. Below are some pics of the cuties in my life.
It is times like these that I am so gratefull for not only my little family of 4 but for all of the family that we are a part of. I am so glad that the Lord has blessed me with 2 of his precious children. They bring so much joy to my life. I am also glad that we are part of a chuch that believes in ETERNAL FAMILIES. I can't invision my life without anyone that is in my family. I hope that we can take these precious angels and raise them right and teach them the ways of our church. I would also like to thank our families for the support they give to us, both those who were here today and those that weren't. Those of you who weren't here, you were missed.
Do I have you wondering "What the Heck!?" Well, it has a story behind it....On two separate occasions, Brandon is wishing he listened to his mother and not his father.
Day #1-Brandon was getting himself some candy from the cupboard and came into the living room with a nice golden wrapped chicken boulion cube, I informed him that it wasn't candy, he argued with me about it for a while about it, so I told him to go ask his father. Andy being the mean dad he is told him it was a yummy piece of candy, so we had to break out the camera to get pictures of this. So Brandon unwrapped the gold wrapper and was so excited so he takes a bite and soon after realized that once again mommy was right. He actually swallowed it, I thought for sure he would spit it out. All he did was ask for a drink of water, I told him I could get him a cup of hot water and he could have chicken broth for lunch. He didn't think that was so funny.
These are the birthday balloons that we gave Andy for his birthday. As you can see I couldn't get them away from Brandon but I did get him to hold still long enough to snap a couple pics of them. I tell you...who knew that 3 little balloons could entertain a 4 year old for a couple weeks. They were pretty good at entertaining my friends little boys too. Next time I think of buying toys, I am going to the dollar store and buying some balloons.
Another room we decided to do something with was the kitchen. The walls used to be white and the cupboard doors were too, we decided to add some color to our world. The flooring is pretty cool according to Brandon, he likes to put his church socks on and twirl and slide on it. It is pretty funny to watch because it is so slick that he falls on his rump a lot!
This picture reminds me as to why we have doors on our cupboards. Ha Ha!
