Just another fun family moment...

This is normal...isn't it?

Girls Night...

Friday night=girls night. The boys went camping we visited some adorable babies.

Baby Zuri is a cutie! Those of you that have known me for awhile know of my fascination, love and adoration for elephants and BABY elephants are all that and more.

She's an active little one. Playing with her toys

chasing birds...

She liked to sit on her ball.

Doesn't she look like Dumbo in this pic?

Ooops fell right over. (darn post).

She loves her Mommy!

And a couple of Zuri's friends...

Tank the Tiger? (Actually we don't know his name yet.)

And the giraffe getting a love from his Mom.

I can't wait to go back in a couple weeks!

It's a Fantasy World

I drafted my fantasy football team on Friday. I snagged Philip Rivers as my Quarterback and Steven Jackson as my Running Back. I don't know who they are either, but they better put up or shut up because I'm building my team around them. Oh, you're surprised. I don't seem like the football type. Well, you are right aside from an awesome Aggie True Blue Football game. I'm not a huge fan, especially of the NFL. BUT...I AM a fan of FANTASY FOOTBALL.

The benefits:

• Whooping on some die hard football fans with my unconventional look at drafting.
• Learning a few football players so I can carry on a conversation with my brother in law.
• Griping about which QB is a flop this year and bragging rights on snagging the best wide receiver.

You get to manager of your own team of players taken from different real life teams. They gather points each week depending on their real life stats. You can trade, bench and what not with all your players. What's really great is that it seems like those that start out without a clue often get great teams and whoop those that spend hours researching the best players.

My 7 day Blog Challenge--you can do it too.

In honor of Brenda and her poor info deprived life, :) I have challenged myself to make a blog entry at least once a day for the next 7 days. I'm sure Brooke, my sweet sister in law who loves to have comments on her blog but NEVER comments on my blog, ;) will laugh at me because she has been blogging EVERY SINGLE DAY since the beginning of the year. That is hard work. I guess I'll cut her some slack...a little but not all. So anywho...any of you that want to join me in my challenge make a little note at the bottom, then Brenda will know who's blog to go look at for the next, very exciting, week.

Everything perfect for the 5 and under crowd...
Leaning out the window as the wind whistles by...

Must mean we had a Day out with Thomas.

(p.s. it's ok if you don't know Thomas...that probably just means you don't have a boy between the ages of 3 and 5.)

Potion Station Sensation

We set up a potion station...and it was a sensation. I can't claim credit for this fun idea. I just followed the lead of these cute girls over at Three Girl Pile-Up.

The set up included mixing bottles, water, vinegar, baking powder, baking soda, orange jello, lime jello, flower petals & sunflower seeds. (Next time I'm going to try cabbage water and get some cool syringes to work with.)

The kids had no idea what the powders and liquids were, so they were thrilled when colors started appearing. (Aren't all those red heads cute? We have a plethora in the neighborhood.)

And down right shocked when it started bubbling.

Potion making is serious stuff...

Definitely a do-over!

It's a plug...sue me. :) (It includes free food)

Come see me Saturday at the Davis County Fair Grounds in Farmington Utah between 9am and 2pm for the International Dutch Oven Society's Annual Spring Convention.

Cost: FREE

Benefits: FREE FOOD!

Great dutch oven chefs make food all day and give out free samples. Plus my Awesome demo girls Kim & Marcy will be demoing fried foods in the Dutch oven. Think, french fries, tempura eggplant, donuts and a mystery dish! (I don't even know what it is...but its fried and its dutch oven, what could go wrong?)


Also you can check out some awesome kitchenware and a bowl big enough to bathe in. Now you DO want to see that don't you. For a preview of the kind of cool stuff we'll have there check out
