Helping Mom Make Brownies

I got a crazy craving for brownies one day, so I whipped up a batch. I remember as a kid that mom would let us lick up the extra batter in the bowl after she had put the brownies in the oven. So I did the same for my kids. They had a little too much fun. Lance got to the point where he couldn't figure out how to get the amount of batter that he wanted with his finger or the spoon so he decided to put his whole head in the bowl. He is a problem solver, that one. Then Whitney would just licked it off of his head. That is what I call teamwork. I think that I got the best deal out of them all, desert and a show!!

Family Date! Dinner and a Movie

Berny and I went on a date with the kids. We went to eat at Tomato's an Italian restaurant in Twin Falls. This statue was outside of the restaurant and Whitney saw it. She went over and climbed on. I thought it was pretty cute.
After dinner we went to a movie, Whitney kept getting eaten by the chair she was sitting in. I can't remember much about the movie because I was in and out with Lance. He wanted to walk all over the theater not stay in a seat or even on his mom's lap. He is such a social little boy. He wanted to talk to everyone in the large room.

Man hole? I mean Baby Hole!

I was in the other room when I heard some really loud laughing coming from the laundry room. When I went to see what was going on I saw that they had taken the vent off of the floor and Lance was sitting in it. I laughed so hard, I think they thought they were going to be in trouble. There is nothing better that see my kids have fun and play together. I hope that they will always be best friends and want to be close to each other. Even if Whitney is shoving lance in a man hole!? Ya, as long as he is enjoying it.

Lance and Daddys Gloves

This was really cute! Berny had just gotten in from working outside and had thrown his gloves on the couch. Next thing I know Berny Lance had climbed up and put them on. Like father like son!!

St. Patricks Day, Green Egg Suprise!!

This St. Patricks day I decided to surprise everyone with a green breakfast. Berny woke up that morning and got ready for work. When he came to get his breakfast I could tell he was a little surprised. But you know him he would never complain about anything I make. Such a good sport. Whitney on the other hand did not want anything to do with the colorful surprise and Lance loved it and was asking for more!! It was a fun little way to celebrate the holiday and no one could pinch my family because their green was on the inside.

Box Car

This was a really cute day. It makes me so happy when I see my kids playing happily with each other. They found this box and were pretending that it was a car. So I started driving them around in it. I could get it to go pretty fast when we were on the carpet. They both would laugh really hard when I made them go fast.

Library time

Every Friday they have a library reading time here in Jerome. We try to make it to them but we don't go as much as I would like. On this day we went and they were teaching the kids nursery rhymes. This one is Hay diddle diddle the cat and the fiddle. Whitney was the cow and she got to jump over the moon. She remembered is too, a few nights later we were outside and Whitney saw the moon and she pointed to it and said, "mom the cow jumped over the moon."

Lance was having fun too even though he wasn't old enough to have a part. He loved talking to all the girls.
