My 2 cuddlers

The kids had just both gotten up from naps and we had a snuggle moment.  Ah!  I love the cuddles.  They don't always last long (especially with Kevin)

Introducing Buddha Baby!

Geography Check

We all know the big brown one, but do you know the name of the little dark green country just SE of Guatemala????

...Cause last I heard it's where I'm headed in 6 weeks!

Next trip???

So, don't be jealous...

But, feel free to be a little jealous...

Cause check out the LEGIT place I went last weekend!

Ok, I didn't spend the entire trip in this little crevice. We only slept there for a few hours... :)

Next family trip: St. George!

And, hey--bechya never seen THIS hike in the snow! Nor would I recommend that you ever go when it's snowy... :)

The New Parents

All I have to say is thank goodness for adoption.

Japanese Night at the Culinary School

Rich, Mom, Christian and I met at UVU's Culinary School Restaurant for Japanese Night this past week.  Our reservations fell through for French night, so we took the last reservation slot available (Japanese night) and crossed our fingers that the it wouldn't be too fishy an occasion.   No such luck.

Rich with his sushi appetizer and miso, a fishy broth with tofu chunks and green onions.  

Dad would have loved it. (ha ha)

 

Our "salads": seaweed (Rich's), and cucumber vinegar (Janel's)

Mom's entree, featuring super long noodles 

(and everything but the kitchen sink, including beef, potatoes, carrots, tofu, two kinds of mushrooms)

My entree (super yummy noodles and beef in a super fishy (gross) broth)

Rich enjoying a cute little mushroom--one of a few kinds we tasted.

Not pictured: Mom's warm egg-and-mushroom custard

Christian getting a little sushi action.  He's obviously impressed, don't you think?

Dessert: tofu cheesecake.  It was actually pretty delicious.  Not quite as yummy as Richard's chocolate tart, but that disappeared before we had a chance to photograph it.

Jacob's smile + grumpy face

Jacob-isms

Jacob: Who’s Wilverine, from Latter Day Prophets? (Wilford/Wolverine)

Jacob: Sometimes when you laugh really hard, you feel like going potty.

Today after I helped Jacob brush his teeth, he said, “I’m going to smile and do a grumpy face at the same time.” He did a hilarious face with a bared smile and mean eyes, and when I got the camera he said generously, “Take as many pictures as you want.”

Jacob: This is my favorite dinner.

Me: (shocked) THANKS Jacob! That makes me feel really good! (surprised because it was pork chops and salad)

Jacob: No, I mean this  is my favorite dinner: croutons. And this is my favorite fruit: kiwis. And this is my favorite dessert: Peeps.

Anyone need a pet?

Sorry about the undies, but this helps you to see why my kids love dogs.  Just wait until I post a picture of the puppies.
