Happy Easter and Spring!


A new twist to an old idea. I've made these carrots before using orange slices but saw this new idea of using Cheetos. Kind of a cute new twist to the old idea. The blog I found these on is called sistersstuff.blogspot.com and is so full of cute ideas.
I'm so looking forward to spring. Having gone to Boise a couple of times in the last little while and then to Utah with the tulips and daffodils up and blooming I really really want spring. We've already been to baseball games and even saw a fun donkey basketball game. We've had some fun family outings going to Keegan and Hayden's basketball games, State Basketball Tournament and we are looking forward to baseball and horseback rides and sun, sun, sun, soon, soon, soon! I'm also looking forward to listening to general conference this weekend. It so seems to renew my resolve to try to do better. Oh!! I have a new love...wonderful (non clothes eating) beautiful white Maytags!

Yeah for "girls" weekends!


Last weekend my sister, Tamra, her daughter Brittany and my grandaughter( the favorite one) headed to Utah to meet Tamra's daughter Nichole and my daughter Megan for a "girls" weekend out. We went to a scrapbook expo, shopped, saw a movie, ate at a number of different places but loved PF Changs and talked and talked and had so so much fun. We missed the girls who couldn't make it and plan on doing another outing soon. Oh, we also took along a new friend named Tomisina and really quite liked the directions she gave!

The Shoot Out Barn







During the month of January our family highlight was an overnight stay at the Shoot Out Barn near Ashton, Idaho. Our friends the Wadholms invited our family to have a family night. We played games until the early morning hours and ate and then ate again. It was such an enjoyable time and we thank our friends for the special time!
