Monster Smoothies



Jill made my boys "Monster Smoothies" in May when we were on our cruise. Hayden has been asking me to make them since then. I finally did. I can't believe the boys and I have been drinking smoothies with spinach in them everyday. Sometimes they are green (if we only use light colored fruit) sometimes they are purple (when we use berries). They sure are tasty.


Thanks Jilly!

Friends

On of Joe's coworkers asked him this week what we did on Halloween. Joe told him that we took the boys trick-or-treating with friends. The coworker said, "Whoa, you have been here for like two weeks and you already have friends?" Joe told him that the people are from our church. The guy was amazed that we (LDS) make friends with people from our congregation. He asked Joe if we are in the same congregation as Gerry, Joe's boss, and Joe told him no that the wards are divided geographically. They talked a little bit more and Joe invited him to go to church with us on Sunday. He said he would think about it. I think it would be great if he came. I am proud of Joe for sharing the gospel.

One of the families we went trick-or-treating with invited us for dinner on Tuesday. It was fun to go visit with them and get to know them. I really hope we can make some good friends while we are here.

I took dessert and decided to make it like "Nothin' Bundt Cakes." I think it turned out okay.

Pizza

I have often heard, and find it true, that if you want your children to eat what you prepare then have them help prepare it. I let Hayden and Brea make their own pizzas. They had such a good time spreading the sauce, counting the pepperoni, and sprinkling the cheese. The best part is that they ate every bite.

Hayden always eats pizza but this was made on a tortilla. Hayden will never eat tortillas.

Orange Rolls

6/21/09
We had my parents over for breakfast on Father's Day! I made delicious orange rolls, brown sugar bacon, and eggs. It was tasty! Check my cooking blog soon for the recipe.


Hayden and Parker gave Joe a basket filled with Pop Tarts, popcorn, soda pop, and Popsicles. The Popsicles were the Meadow Gold Twin Pops. Joe looked at the "Twin pops" and got all giddy and asked "Are you pregnant with twins?" Yeah right! So I explained it like this.

1. We have a baby
2. If I was pregnant with twins he would have already know I was pregnant
3. Would I really not t ell him before I told others

Raspberry Jam

This year I made home made raspberry jam. If you make homemade jam you must make homemade bread to put it on. It was so yummy. This picture proves that Hayden loved it. Every morning he would ask for bread and jam for breakfast. He pretty much licks the jam off and then ate his bread.

Easter Treats

I made chocolate bowls again. This time I filled them with green coconut for grass, a Peep, and eggs (Oreo truffles).
