Blueberry Muffins.

So nothing feels better than to cook a yummy meal and goodies for your family, and actually do a good job! I was not meant to be in a kitchen, usually everything I try turns out just the opposite as what it should have. But a small part of me (really small) enjoys cooking, and baking that is when I do a good job. Yesterday was a good day, and I felt proud enough to share it. I made my first home made blueberry muffins, and guess what they turned out. And then I made sausage pepper pasta from my friend Lindsay's blog (by the way her and her husband are AMAZING cooks, and they cook like that on a daily basis) and that turned out so yummy. So maybe, just maybe this housewife, cooking thing might work out for me. If not at least I can gloat on yesterday's accomplishments.

For the recipe I used go Here.

A no kid weekend.

I looked forward to this like I use to look forward to Christmas when I was younger. My parents were so nice to take Owen and Olivia this last weekend, while me and Chris remembered what it was like to be dating. Its amazing what you can get done, and how clean your house stays for two whole days. We went to a movie, hiking, Park City, and looked for golf balls at the golf course. I was excited for my kids to come back home, but I'm already thinking about where they could go this weekend, ha!

A rough couple of days.

I'm worried about my little Liv, and I'm just not sure how to handle her. She can be the sweetest little thing in the world, and then just turn on you. I knew I had to write some of the things that has happened in the last couple of days, or I would forget them. Yesterday we went to Ross and as we were walking out, Liv pushed open the fire alarm door (yea where was I oh just checking out the scarves). I was so embarrassed, mad, and just wanted to run out of there. I think all of the employees were just grateful I was leaving. And then today while changing her poopy bum, she grabbed the diaper and swung it up causing her poop to land right on her face. She screamed so loud in fright I hope she learned her lesson today.
I use to always look at the mom with her misbehaving children, and think to myself man can't you just get them under control. Whoa I was way out of line for thinking that. I'm now one of those moms, who sometimes just can't get my children to behave. So maybe we can just all give each other a break, I mean we are all trying to do the best we can. I know one day Liv and I will look back at this and laugh. And we will be best friends just like I am with my mom.
I love this picture I took today I can just see the mischief in Livs face!

4th of July

The 4th has come and gone. We had so much fun. Our neighborhood put together a great little party. There were snow cone machines, cotton candy machines, bounce house, pie eating contest, a dunk tank, fishing for toys and goodies, and laser tag. So to say the least my kids were in heaven. I'm just glad we have the 24th now to look forward too.



I know that this little guy is probably dibbed for other little girls in the neighborhood, but look how cute him and liv are!

Finding peace in solitude.

My title was quoted by Will Ferrell in the episode of "Man vs. Wild with Bear Grylls" Oh it was hilarious! Anyways our family has been enjoying lots of relaxing time in good ol' Kamas. I feel like every time I go up there I escape part of the world. It is peaceful, quiet and so beautiful! We bike, eat, play outside with the animals and watch movies. Owen becomes a cowboy with his cousin Kayden when we go up there. He is a big animal lover, and could spend all day outside with the alpacas. Liv is adapting to the animals she is a bit more scared, but eventually warms up.
