We had Cathy & Pete's family here at the end of Jan and Robert was here as well. We must have been so busy that weekend taking care of the 9 kids age 9 and under because I didn't get any pictures. Maybe <a href="http://wathycathy.blogspot.com/">Cathy</a> will blog some. :) </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">We also made a trip up to SLC to visit Oma & <a href="http://induna-bigdaddy.blogspot.com/">Opa</a> and Paul took our kids skiing. It was so fun to see lots of family at Oma's annual Valentine Party an overall was a great weekend other than the food poisoning (or flu) I had. :(</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The week after this, we celebrated Valentines' Day and then had a bunch of family visit for Presidents' Weekend. A couple of Mike's kids were in a soccer tournament. With ours, Suz's family and RayAnne's we had a total of 19 people in the house for 3 nights and this was lots of fun. We had a great time with all of these visitors watching Downton Abbey, lots of cooking & cookie-making, running, hiking, soccer and celebrating for Michael.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Here are a few pictures to recap:</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT_h6tqHdZwr8YQHjDwTg_bwO0TSj5JQKtJfkEWLorfrcFlHa79Q2-_N087iWhy9orrGLmKm3VR6AsoATdOIcGaF0mhdBZ7awHMds9qhF-FtQ4LcolzVH47nILpVQjxwXg-8aBozUQDuk/s1600/IMG_3877.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0WFPKiCkE6QD_x0GVV-j6ZqxUgWyXWwf9MH6AocFrEzfBR5Kl1NT65C57MlKriaAD_uC-S8qjCpPPIxXpuNuBuB1FRh_qmvYhBl5EL7QRkdCMd0k4oMqGQQzx8G9A6nqYyFn9IFHmUv8/s1600/IMG_3873.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0WFPKiCkE6QD_x0GVV-j6ZqxUgWyXWwf9MH6AocFrEzfBR5Kl1NT65C57MlKriaAD_uC-S8qjCpPPIxXpuNuBuB1FRh_qmvYhBl5EL7QRkdCMd0k4oMqGQQzx8G9A6nqYyFn9IFHmUv8/s400/IMG_3873.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5713247670231027378" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Alex - doesn't he look so happy to eat?

We go around the table and say something we love about the person next to us. I strategically placed everyone so that they would have to stretch themselves a little here. Austin (my mamma's boy) had a really hard time saying something about Paul.

It seems like the # of posts I create corresponds conversely with how crazy my life is. I decided that I probably do have time to post on this blog every now and then if I don't waste so much time on Pinterest and other sites when I sit on this computer to take a break from my work & home life.<br />
<br />
I enjoy reading other peoples' blogs and seeing updated pictures of their kids. I have thought in the past, what is the point of my blog? but I guess even if I am the only person who reads it, it is a place to record our family history and I can look back and see what we have been up to. Also, now that we have moved from Northern Utah, we don't see as much family as often and a blog is a great way to feel close, even though you are far away.<br />
<br />
We have really enjoyed living in St. George - the weather is great and the kids have made great friends. I am staying busy helping Paul with his new franchise of Corporate Alliance as well as continuing to do accounting part-time for Bryan's company.<br />
<br />
I will include some pictures to summarize the past few months here in St. George: (It still bugs me that there was over a year that I did not blog about - I don't know why but I feel like I can't blog anything new w/o blogging everything prior).<br />

Arizona - New Year's 2012 - It was fun to go to Suz's house and enjoy the nice weather. We also got together with Rob & Eva's family. We had really incredible food - I don't have any pictures, though. Rob treated us to lobster, Suz made a prime rib roast, we also made lots of Mexican food and homemade tamales. </div>

Obsessing over Cookies: Suz convinced me to try making cookies w/ royal icing at Halloween and so I made a few batches.

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;">A super fun, but very tiring activity for a Friday. I don't recommend making these all in one day. I should have made the dough and baked the cookies ahead of time.</div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;">Suz was my over-the-phone cookie consultant - thanks to her and <a href="http://beeinourbonnet.blogspot.com/2011/03/basics-of-sugar-cookies-and-royal-icing.html">this blog</a> she recommended they turned out ok.</div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;">Royal Icing really is tricky. I think it would work better next time with a real tip. I couldn't find my plain decorating tip, so I just cut the corner off of a decorating bag. I also like the idea in this blog of using the squeezie bottles. We had one squeezy bottle that we used for the orange and it worked great. </div><div style="text-align: left;">Austin LOVED the spider web cookies. When it was bedtime he said, "sleeping is NOT fun, making cookies is fun.

I got some inspiration from two of my sisters - <a href="http://inmarysgarden.blogspot.com/">Mary</a> & <a href="http://laughingandlosingit.blogspot.com/">Bina</a>, who started up again recently without having to recount everything that they hadn't blogged, so thanks!<br />
<br />
<br />
Anthony's birthday was lots of fun, especially since we had Suz's family staying with us. We went to the Marathon Expo with the little kids on Friday and bought lots of running junk. Who would have thought that a sport that only involves moving one foot in front of the other could have so much junk and accessories for sale. We didn't sleep very well the night before Suz's race because both Scott (from AZ) and Paul (from Provo) were on the road and did not get to our house until 3:30 and 4:00. At 4:00 (just before Scott arrived), I dropped Suz off with her friends to go to the marathon. I went back to bed, fed the kids, cleaned up a little, went on a 3 mile run, showered, etc, etc. - the whole time I was thinking "Suz is still running!" We arrived at the finish and were able to see her at the last 100 meters - it was so inspiring to watch all of those runners finish that race. We spent the rest of Sat watching conference and getting ready for the party. Sunday was a fun, lazy day with lots of good food and watching conference. We went to a cool site on the border of AZ & UT called the glitter hole - lots of sparkly white rocks that look like crystals. The kids were in heaven there and brought back their share of the rocks. (Suz will have to share those pics with me later.)<br />

Suz helped me make the fondant. We used this <a href="http://candy.about.com/od/fondantcandyrecipes/r/mm_fondant.htm">recipe</a> from about.com. It is pretty easy as long as you keep lots of powdered sugar, or butter on your hands and counter to keep things from sticking. I also used <a href="http://www.instructables.com/id/3d-Dinosaur-Birthday-Cake/">this site</a> for the original idea of the 3D dino, and I used <a href="http://wackycathy.blogspot.com/2010/06/cupcakes.html">Cathy's buttercream recipe</a> for under the fondant. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I did not have time for paper- mache, so I used a box, glue gun, tape and paint.

He is now 2 months old, and I am starting to slowly get in a routine with 5 kids, but life is very busy right now for me. Alexander has been such a sweet baby and we are all so happy to have him in our family. It is so cute to see how kids fall in love with a new sibling immediately. They all love to hold him and talk to him to get him to smile. They are great helpers, too by finding things for me like diapers, binkie, etc. We are excited for his baby blessing this weekend along with Abigail's baptism.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I love the peace and quiet around here - the sounds we hear during the day are sprinklers, birds, and the Heber Creeper railroad. </div><div><br /></div><div>I have also noticed some advantages of a smaller home - although it messes up quick - a small house is easy and quick to clean-up. The kids get lots of toys out, but they don't get spread as far, so they have an easier time cleaning up after themselves. I like having a cozy kitchen with no sit-up bar. Now that there is no bar - I actually sit down for each meal at our little table with the kids rather than standing behind the counter while they ate on the other side. </div><div><br /></div><div>As part of my nesting and getting settled, I have been baking and trying to cook more to prove to myself that I can still do it even though the kitchen is smaller. I have successfully made bagels, pizza, sour-dough bread, baguettes, brownies, cake, and lots of other good food. So far, we haven't eaten out too much - even though there is lots of fast food in nearby Heber, we sort-of have that camping or BearLake feeling where you have to plan your food and take care of it all without going out all the time. Hopefully I can keep this up.</div><div><br /></div><div>Well, enjoy the pictures and check out my other posts. Al says that all this blogging I have done today must be part of my "nesting" instinct.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Here is the view of Mt.

She helped me pack up the house and helped with our big yard sale. Also, I think my kids were distracted having their cousins around to play with- so they were not upset at all seeing all of their stuff taken out of the house.

This was totally spontaneous. They were a good price, but he mostly got it because he could tell I was really jealous when Pete brought one back to the house for Cathy. Check out her<a href="http://wackycathy.blogspot.com/2010/05/we-may-be-crazy-but-he-is-really-cute.html"> post</a> for more on that story and some really cute pictures of Pepper's brother, Rhino. <div><br /></div><div>Pepper is such a cute puppy with a really sweet personality. I can already tell that she is a smart dog because she has hardly had any accidents and just mostly likes to pee outside. She loves Kaya and the two of them are getting along great - they are such a funny looking pair. Pepper cried the first two nights she was home.

Cathy and Pete and their kids came along. We went on a couple of fun hikes at Snow Canyon (hopefully Cathy will post some of those pics since I forgot my camera that day), went swimming a lot, ate great food, The Dads took the kids to a movie, and we did some garage sale-ing. One of our best finds were the pool chairs pictured here for just a $1 each. I was almost not going to buy them because they looked so junky and dirty on someone's driveway - but they were a hit! It is funny how junky things can look at yard sales. Oh yes, and we spontaneously bought a new puppy for Mothers' Day.

(by the way - that is showing just a small portion of my laundry - I have two big bags still of dirty clothes from being gone last week). For the sake of not getting too embarrassed, I decided to not take pictures of the basement, my office, or the boys room. I was a little too depressed about the dishes this morning, so I decided to take a picture and complain about them - maybe this will give me some inspiration. For about a year and a half we were having these ladies from Argentina come and help clean the house one or two times a month - it was great and helped me keep on top of things. Recently, I decided I really can't afford that, so they haven't been here for over 2 months and I am really feeling buried in housework and disorganized closets and drawers. A few years ago, I got some good cleaning ideas from the <a href="http://www.flylady.net/">flylady.net</a> website. I even created the following cleaning schedule which really only works in a perfect world, or if you are really committed to it.</div><div> Luckily I found this document on my computer, so I guess it is a good place to start - I will have to go through this schedule, adjust it a little and start implementing it again so that I don't get so behind. One good thing is that lately my kids have been pretty good at making their beds every day and cleaning their rooms and the basement (if I enforce it).</div><div> </div><div>Here is my IDEAL cleaning schedule: (sorry it is long) - I would appreciate any input - like I can already see a flaw - way too much on Monday - there is no way I could shop, and do all that mopping and stuff. I also need to take into account my daily work schedule as I think about this.</div><div><br /></div><div><!--StartFragment--> <div class="Section1"> <h3><a name="bed"><span style="Book Antiqua";font-family:";font-size:13.0pt;color:#802050;">Before Bed Routine</span></a><span style="mso-bookmark:bed"><span style="Book Antiqua"font-family:";font-size:13.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></h3> <p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;margin-left:.5in;text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l10 level1 lfo1;tab-stops:list .5in"><span style="mso-bookmark:bed"><span style="Book Antiqua"font-family:";font-size:13.0pt;">1.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman""> </span></span><span style="Book Antiqua"font-family:";font-size:13.0pt;"><b>Clean up the house </b></span></span><span style="mso-bookmark:bed"><span style="Book Antiqua"font-family:";font-size:13.0pt;">(20 minutes - tops) <o:p></o:p></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;margin-left:1.0in;text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l10 level2 lfo2"><span style="mso-bookmark:bed"><span style="Book Antiqua"font-family:";font-size:13.0pt;">a.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman""> </span></span><span style="Book Antiqua"font-family:";font-size:13.0pt;">Living/Dining room: Pick up and put away things, toys, dishes, garbage, shoes.

I had started a sourdough sponge late one night and wrapped it in this cute black and white damp towel and placed it in the oven (draft-free spot) overnight. The next morning, I was boiling and baking bagels, so I turned the ovens on to 500 degrees. When I opened the oven to put in the bagels I noticed the sourdough sponge. "Ahhhh!!" I took it out and the towel was all burnt and the sponge turned into a sticky hot mess. I threw the towel away, (after trying to rinse it out and time after time it bled black liquid). and washed the bowl after it cooled. The bagels turned out really good and I was able to make a new sponge that day and bake sourdough bread the next. Cathy made me feel a little better by saying, "At least you used an oven-proof glass bowl - if it were me, it would have been a plastic bowl - melted all over and ruin the oven." Thanks, Cathy. I guess it is a good general rule to not put anything in the oven that is not oven-proof. Or even a better rule - Maybe I should open my oven and make sure it is clear before I turn it on.<div><br /></div><div>Hopefully next week I can catch up and blog some new pictures of my kids.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861191070919528232.post-23251340247418162622009-12-26T00:05:00.002-07:002009-12-26T00:13:59.617-07:00Merry Christmas!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK-D2Eoc3sznws84EVut1PMHH-dkFhOStECpi6fYMwmGJBdFIZkLub3utToZjsbhA9FxMCnzqgprmRt9VLKtEIFfwZclik2VksNHD3FbMcWGRzWyvKKIjv6mZc4UDjkwTwGOJ1tSVO962U/s1600-h/IMG_1224.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5419438206666208658" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 266px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK-D2Eoc3sznws84EVut1PMHH-dkFhOStECpi6fYMwmGJBdFIZkLub3utToZjsbhA9FxMCnzqgprmRt9VLKtEIFfwZclik2VksNHD3FbMcWGRzWyvKKIjv6mZc4UDjkwTwGOJ1tSVO962U/s400/IMG_1224.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Our Nativity on Christmas Eve at Oma and Opa's house: </div><div>It was a great night and as you can see Abigail was so happy to be Mary.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861191070919528232.post-25718029568482581132009-12-18T10:42:00.003-07:002009-12-18T10:48:07.076-07:00Grand Prize Winner<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOtU99goQroxoFFwCRrwYclBuXcsTxDGuZ3NxmEiJ8E_5xvgnwNZbGOld81por56m2s_XPDdFXf1yMLQ0IbVurIUBglD40eh9Crz6toOHzmDxCTRReQdOVcFvwQaV42jpITNMBKi7y1loo/s1600-h/Dell-Vostro-A90-Netbook.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5416633122909784994" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 138px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOtU99goQroxoFFwCRrwYclBuXcsTxDGuZ3NxmEiJ8E_5xvgnwNZbGOld81por56m2s_XPDdFXf1yMLQ0IbVurIUBglD40eh9Crz6toOHzmDxCTRReQdOVcFvwQaV42jpITNMBKi7y1loo/s200/Dell-Vostro-A90-Netbook.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>I went to the <a href="http://www,larsco.com/">Larson& Rosenberger</a> Christmas party and won one of the 3 Dell Netbooks! I was a little shocked as I never win anything usually. This is a really cute tiny laptop with about a 9 inch screen- I have just wasted an hour on it reading blogs in the basement as the little boys played with toys. I may have to get used to typing on this with my chubby fingers! I felt a little bad winning a big prize since I did not work very many hours this year. This will be a fun little portable internet device and maybe I'll use it in the kitchen for searching for new recipes.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com4
