Guitar Hero

Yesterday Mr. UPS delivered our Guitar Hero. Very exciting. I spent the next few (1 1/2 ) hours practicing. Then we headed out to Kevin's brothers for family night and hours of Rock Band (yes, we are obsessed and addicted). It was lots of fun and because of my Guitar Hero practicing I was able to play bass guitar and not just sing the whole time. Good times. Unfortunatly, they do not make Rock Band for the Wii, hopefully someday.

No TV Week, No More

I did it. Just a few more hours and no tv week is officially over. It is true that you can accomplish a lot more when you don't watch tv, but unfortunatly cleaning the house is just not as entertaining. I did accomplish a few things in my free time.

I finally finished my Disney World Heritage Makers scrapbook. I will send it off the be printed possibly today.

I started teaching my 5 year old to play the piano (No, I don't know how to play myself, but can't we learn together?).

I read the entire Boleyn Inheritance and am half way through Rebekah by Orson Scott Card.

I took down our Christmas lights. (I know we are now in March, but we have literally had snow on the ground since the beginning of December.)

Not bad since I was also a single mom for the week.

Unfortunatly, this week will not be as productive, I will probably spend much of my free time catching up on last weeks tv. I know it kind of defeats the purpose, but hey, I'm not perfect.

Crepes

Well last week the new recipe of the week was suppose to be crepes, but I never did get around to it until tonight. I was really suprised at how easy they were. Maybe it was just the recipe that I used, but it was way easy. Check out the recipe here. I added a teaspoon of sugar like many reviewers recommended. We had some filled with turkey and cheese and for dessert we had them filled with blackberries, raspberries and whipped cream. YUM!

Sorry about the picture, you can see crumbs all over the counter. O well. I'm a caterer not a photographer.

A Proud Mommy Moment

Isaac is my clumsy child. He falls all of the time. Today he fell off a stool and hit his head. I'm not sure if you can see it in the picture, but he got a small cut and a bump as a result. I said to him, "Wow Isaac that doesn't look very good." He responed by saying, "If Jesus heals me, that would be good." I just thought it was so cute and it made me happy to know that my little 4 year old is learning, paying attention, and understanding things about the gospel. It was a proud mommy moment.

No TV This Week

This is what our tv will be looking like this week. No picture, so sad. Our stake/ward has challenged everyone to not watch tv for a whole week. So wish me luck. I wish I was so good as to skip the shows all together, but chances are next week I will just be watching double. Instead of watching tv we are suppose to spend more time together as a family. However my kids go to bed at 7pm and I don't typically watch tv till after then anyhow. So I can spend the time with my hubby, oh wait no I can't cause he leaves on a trip for work from Tuesday till Saturday. So Audrey will settle down with a good book and read really slowly. How fun for me.

The Ducky Birthday

Noah's Birthday was on Thursday. Here is a picture from that day:

We just had his ducky party and here are some pictures from that:

The Food

Noah Playing in balloon bubbles. The older kids at the party got to play some games. Chuck a duck, Ring around the Duck and the Duck Pond.

Opening presents. Noah got lots of fun toys and clothes. His favorite toy was a stuffed monkey from Aunt Kristy. He just hugs it and loves it.

Before Cake. While we were singing Happy Birthday, Noah was so excited he kept swatting at the candle. Luckily no burns.

During cake. He did get messy, but not quite as messy as my other kids did. Noah would just poke his finger into the cake, then pull it out and lick his finger. It was very cute.

After cake Noah needed a bath.

Thanks to everyone who came. We had a lot of fun.

Happy 1st Birthday Noah

Noah we love you, it has been a wonderful year.
