Can I please get some sleep?!!

We're all doing well. We enjoyed conference, the end of the snowy weather on Sunday, and the fact that Camper has figured out she can get herself out of the crib on her own... we were woken up two nights ago pretty late with a cute little chubby face greeting us as we slept! Last night we kept the door closed on her and she freaked out, but sweet Jacer climbed into bed (translate: crib) with her to help her go back to bed. We moved him back to his own bed around midnight... it was pretty squishy in there... I have some pics of her nap time today that I'll put up in the morning... she's a crack up! Tonight she's sleeping in Jace's bed. They've already switched sides and kicked off the covers..

BTW, I realize this blog keeps getting a make-over... Cameron didn't like the last background so I have switched it yet again... hopefully he can read it now, wait... he actually reads this thing? What?! Love you Cam, enjoy!

While searching...

on one of my friend's blogs, I found this:
CREATE
and I LOVE it! Enjoy!

Hi y'all

OK, I know I just posted...

But I had some other pics and they were taking forever to upload... This top one is of the kids helping make dinner... just lettuce for a taco salad, but they had fun helping out. I went to this awesome cooking class and got some great ideas to try to get my kids to start eating without me yelling at them all mealtime... so this was the first attempt... letting them help get the meal ready. The taco salad didn't go over too well, but that was last Sunday, and since then, they've eaten pretty well! I have a few other ideas up my sleeve if this one gets old for them...
For St. Patrick's Day we made homemade pizza with shamrock shaped bell peppers and other toppings. That was a fun dinner to help make!


Then we set a trap to catch our house leprechaun... the trap was really good, but the sneaky little guy was too quick! He left a ton of treats, a few foot prints, and a note telling us to try again next year!

Yo! it's almost time to go...

Let's go back and remember what we did today..

Gotta love us some YGG!! Anyway, here are some of the latest projects I've been working on... it's a 4x4 block for all the seasons, Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter, so you just turn it when the season changes... and true to form, it's unfinished... :)

We celebrated Dr. Seuss' Big Day by dying our scrambled eggs green and since then we've tried all sorts of colors. This day was rainbow-colored... we did lime green for St. Pat's.


I've been working on my food storage and trying things I've never heard of before... This is canned butter. super easy... It's a 4 oz jar so we can use it as a spread, It doesn't need to be cold and lasts almost 2 years! ...The birds in the back are a project from the summer I did with Teri B...
Here's what I tried today: Cheese Sauce! -- like cheese whiz. It took a bit more time, but I have enough for mac and cheese, nachos, tater tot casserole, etc.... lasts 2 years...
I've also learned you can pressure can your milk, and hard cheese (it starts mild and turns sharp as it sits in the can)... interesting, huh?!! Oh, and you can freeze eggs!... another day soon!...
