All Doughed Up

So last weekend we decided to forgo our usual $2.99 frozen pizzas from Target and make them ourselves. This was some goooood pizza.

The kids enjoyed punching down the dough and letting their creative juices flow.



Can you guess whose is whose?

hint: Travis digs the deep dish style

Private Talk

A couple weeks ago Dillon stripped down while getting ready to hop in the shower. I was in my bedroom folding clothes and Travis was getting the water ready. All the sudden Dillon got really excited about something. The conversation went something like this...

Dillon - Hey! I have a ball in here! I have a ball next to my bottom!
Me - (trying to keep my composure)
Travis - Well, Dillon, that's called a testicle and you actually have two of them.
Dillon - Well I'm only holding one right now.


Then just yesterday, while Molly and I were working on a craft in the dinning room, I could here Dillon coughing/gaging. He would do this for a second and then stop and then again and again. I finally called out to him to see what was going on...

Me - Dillon, what's wrong buddy, why do you keep choking?
Dillon - Every time I squeeze this ball it makes my tummy hurt and I feel like I am going to throw up.
Me - Why don't you come in here and show me what it is your talking about.
Dillon - I'm talking about this ball next to my penis. It really hurts when I squeeze it.
Me - (trying not to freak out) Dillon, why do you keep squeezing it, that isn't too good for you.
Dillon - I'm not sure.


What can I say, the boy is curious.

Molly's School Recital

Molly's school recital was great and the kids were all so cute. She's been singing the songs continuously for weeks. We're already looking forward to next years.

We took the kids to the Cleveland Museum of Art. You would think this might not go over well, you know three small kids in a large echoing, but very quiet building. I had those same concerns, but Trav and I had been wanting to go again for some time and there just aren't many opportunities without the kids, so we took a chance. All in all things went pretty well. Dillon really enjoyed the armor exhibit and Molly really loved the art. Charlee was pretty entertained by all the paintings of naked babies. Nothing like a little exposure to the arts.

Day of Love

Oh day of love. Friday was a busy day with class Valentine parties, kids loaded up on sugar, and a baby with a busted lip. But a wonderful night when Travis and I pawned off the kids and he took me to XO, a fantastic restaurant downtown for a romantic diner JUST FOR TWO. Saturday was totally lazy and wonderful. we took it easy all day and had a family party, Wii style, night.


I'm liking this holiday more and more.

Love Is In The Air

Unfortunately, love has been in the air in the form of cookies, brownies, cupcakes, cinnamon rolls, etc...
I don't usually enjoy baking that much, but lately that's all I've been doing. I'm glad to say that I feel my three week love affair with sugar, and all things sweet, seems to be coming to an end. My hope is that in indulging my cravings I will have gotten my fill... for a while... we'll see.

Thanks Jeff

Travis has been serving in the Elders Quorum Presidency for a while now and I have to applaud Jeff for a job well done. He picked a great group of guys who truly care about each family in this ward. Yes, there seem to be a lot of visits/meetings/ppi's etc. at times, but they truly are for the betterment of our husbands, families, and ward. Travis thoroughly enjoys his time serving with these men and has really grown to love the work. Thanks guys for your dedication.

Fashion Forward???

I have to start by saying that these kids have a weird sense of fashion.

They love going through our closets and putting on our clothes. This time they went through daddy's closet (as you can see). I have to give Dillon credit for a pretty creative use of a belt.

And Charlee just continues to be obsessed with shoes.
