I volunteered to host a pizza playgroup at our house for our ward. I made up a bunch of whole wheat pizza dough and had stack of mini pizzas ready to be decorated. I provide dough, sauce and cheese and people brought their favorite toppings. It was awesome (having a double oven definitely helped things along). My current favorite pizza is the wheat dough with pesto sauce, chicken, mushrooms and red bell peppers. Yummy! Such and easy fun activity to host.
Kherington
We were filling out a spotlight questionnaire for church and one of the questions was what is a family tradition of yours?
Kherington was having a hard time thinking of one. Then Kevin comes up and goes, I know what traditions are. It's when you pull a Rabbit out of hat on your head. We were a little confused then, figured out he was thinking 'magician'. Then he goes on to tell us that we can't do that because we don't have a tall hat or a wand. Maybe when we get one.
Kevin
He keeps praying for Jesus to visit our house.
I'm really not sure what we would do if we hadn't gotten to be good friends with the Lingenbrinks. Our kids ages line up perfectly plus the parents are both awesome. We trade kids a couple days each week and have dinner together during the week while our husbands are working. The kids play and fight like sibling which I love.
Jonathan has gotten a little more selective on his food. He likes chicken wontons and messy lasagna or speghetti, but if he is super cranky I break out the cheeseball. He LOVES them. I just with they won't so messy, but I'll take a messy happy baby over a cranky one any day!
Five plus years ago, Ryan and I decided to buy an emergency preparedness kit that would make two backpacks. We packed the unopened box to Belgium, let it sit there for 4 years, then packed it back. Today I decided to open it and actually build the kits. About time. I need to add some clothes, blankets and new food, but at least we have something put together.
Yissel had the great idea to mass produce soup. We each picked out and brought ingredients for a double batch of two soups then spent one afternoon making them up together while our kids played. I bought some containers off amazon to freeze the soups in. We each ended up with 3 lentil, 3 turkey chili, 2 butternut squash and 2 chicken green chili containers (pictured is half on the soup). Plus we had soup for dinner.
Kevin is my funny little man. He cracks me up some days...is super frustrating other days, but here's the fun stuff:
When we were leaving Costco he opted to cash in one of his coupons for a hot dog. Then when we got to the car he told me he wanted to wait until we got home to eat it. Well, we got home, I made myself an awesome toasted turkey avocado sandwich and was just sitting down to eat when Kevin told me he wanted to trade lunches. I gave him my sandwich. then a couple minute late he came and handed me this tiny bite and told me he was too full to finish it so I could have it. Thanks buddy.
Kevin got a vehicle paint and build kit for Christmas that Ryan was going to do with him. Well, daddy has been busy so mommy ended up helping. We broke it out, he painted a couple pieces then asked me to finish. As I worked, he would stop by and tell me what color each piece should be and check my work.
