Open House

Tonight Children's Christian Pre-School had their open house. Tommy took us on a tour of his class and showed off all of his school work that he has been doing. We got to meet the class Guinea Pig and the Finches. He showed us where he goes potty at school and where his cubby is with his picture on it. He has amazing teachers that truly love what they do. Tommy has really developed in many areas because of his teachers (and his awesome parents). If you ask him the sounds that the letters make he will have an animal rhyming poem to go with it. They have the cutest ways of helping the children remember the letter sounds. For example "E" is e e e e e eel, I like to fish for my meal. Then they do the short "E" sound which is e e e e e elephant, pick me up I say you can't. Each letter has it's own animal and sound that they have memorized. It is so fun to hear Tommy say them.

Tommy was being very camera shy , but with a little bribery, (a cookie) he was all smiles.

Cupcake Update

I am still not quite sure why my cupcakes baked so weird, but a little frosting and decorations certainly did the trick. SEE:

Sorry all I had was the camera on my phone and it isn't so great. We got all 800 cupcakes frosted, decorated and boxed. The fundraiser was a lot of work and a huge success.

UGLY Cupcakes

To all you people who read this blog (all ten of you) and know how to bake, please explain to me why my lemon cupcakes look like Peeps in a funky sort of way. I don't know what happened. I had to bake 96 cupcakes for a Girls Camp fundraiser in our ward. Some of them turned out fine and some peeped out on me. When they get tossed in the mix with the other 800 or so cupcakes I will just pretend I don't know who made those awful looking things. How embarrassing! But if any of you know where I went wrong, please enlighten me. I have never claimed to be a good cook/baker. If I had it my way in this whole thing, I would have been down at the local grocery store buying the stupid cupcakes already done.

A mess of FUN

The kids have been bugging me for over a month to make homemade pizzas. I finally gave in and got all of the ingredients necessary to make the perfect pizzas. Tonight we made pizza's and a mess in the kitchen. Each kid made their own pizza masterpiece. The kids had fun and thats all that matters. Karli told me that my pizza sauce tastes like Peter Piper Pizza's pizza sauce. Is that a compliment? I'm still not sure.

Pay Back

I had to post this picture as pay back to a certain someone (Jessica Stacey) for posting a certain picture of me on her blog. I only wish I had gotten a better picture of her.

Early Cinco de Mayo fun....

The kids and I headed over to our friends house, the Garcia-Young's, for some early Cinco de Mayo partying. They have two blow up water slides that the kids had a blast on. Everyone attending was asked to bring their favorite Mexican dish to share. I brought creamy chicken enchiladas (my favorite). I ate more Mexican food then my stomache could hold. It was a lot of fun and here are some pictures to prove it. Thanks Garcia-Young's for inviting us.

Landons Got Talent

For those of you who have played the game Rock Band, you know what this is about. Landon taped the microphone to his face so he could sing and play the drums at the same time. I think playing the drums is hard enough by itself but throw in singing too and it gets tough. He had to do a song that he knew the words really well. The chosen song was Wanted Dead or Alive by Bon Jovi. He actually scored in the 90 percent range for both. Not bad.

Better then the Chipmunks
