Matchy matchy...

this picture just cracks me up! Bailey bought this plaid shirt that Cooper is wearing, but it was too small for her after she washed it but it fit Coop. She loved it so much and it was so inexpensive that she went back and bought another one for herself. They both happened to be wearing their shirts today so of course I had to get a picture of it!!

My creative kids!!

This is outright bragging, but it's my blog, so.....

Cooper LOVES legos! Grandma and Grandpa Weiland got this set for him while he was in Vegas a couple of weeks ago. He is able to assemble the entire thing by himself and this one has bullets and rockets that launch and a bunch of moving parts! What a stud!

This beautiful bouquet of flowers was given to me by Bailey. She made them out of plastic shopping bags. What a fun surprise. They are now part of the decor in my scrapbooking room. I think I'm more creative with them on my table!

Utah Food!

So apparently, although DC is the capital of our country, it is not the capital of good food. Sam said that there are mainly boutiquey type restaurants that are really expensive and a few fast food chains like McDonalds. So when she was here there was a strict plan in place to eat at certain restaurants....

Marleys in Lindon. They are part of the new Harley Davidson place. SUPER YUMMY sliders!!


Breakfast at Magelby's Fresh in Provo.

The remnants of the sent from heaven syrup for the all you can eat pancakes and french toast. if my trainer is reading this, I had two bites!!

Costa Vida!! So Yummy is the half salad!

This picture just cracks me up. It was taken just before the above picture. Not everyone was ready and Sam looks really concerned! She was asking if I was taking a picture of the whole table or just one side.

Chinese Buffet in Orem. We went to lunch with Shawn's family. It was so great to see all of them again!

**WARNING** grody picture!

this little guys name is Deathmeat. He tried to choke Bailey! Seriously though, the other night Bailey was literally {{choking}} on this piece of death meat. She could not breathe and was signaling with her hands for help. Tim tried to help but it wouldn't come out. I tried the Heimlich but I was too soft. So Tim tried the Heimlich and this little guy came flying out! It was one of the scariest things! I'm sure it was a few second adventure, but it felt like FOREVER! i wouldn't let go of her for quite a while after that. stupid deathmeat!

The Greatest Burger in the Wasatch Front Challenge!

So we went to Marley's, which is the restaurant inside the Timpanogos Harley Davidson store in Lindon, for dinner the other night. (Thanks Grandma!) And upon sampling the DELISH sliders they have we have instituted the First Annual Greatest Burger in the Wasatch Front Challenge! We are making it our mission to taste all the Burgers, Fries and Shakes that are NOT fast food and come up with our top five or ten list. This will be our great contribution to society.



So far, Marley's and Five Guys have made the list for Burgers and fries and JCW is on the list for their shakes.

If you have a recommendation, please let us know and we will add it to our quest.

Sisters

Wanna have some real fun? Give your camera to two cute girls and have them snap away! I have so many AWESOME pictures of my girls that I got FROM them. Here are a few post-Thanksgiving, not sure what to do next, people are napping pictures of Tay and Bay.

Congratulations!! It's a food baby!

Tay and Bay are expecting...to feel sick really soon!



Our friend, Bryon Danielson and his food baby



Morgan claims that this is how he always looks....

Happy Thanksgiving!!

So here's my crazy family posing for our non-traditional happy thanksgiving shot! We have entirely too much fun together!

The MENU...


We took this delicious and healthy mountain o fruit and turned it into....



...this delicious whipped cream fruit salad. YUMMY YUMMY!



And these nutritious YAMS into this brown sugar/marshmallow candy side dish.



And of course we had to take the ever so good for you green beans and dip them in batter then FRY them, yes I said FRY them. This was a DIET COKE batter...does that make it healthier because it's Diet?



Oh yeah, then the turkey. We didn't carmelize it or anything! We just ate it like this! Except of course the fat drippings gravy I made. Hmmmm....How many pounds to people gain over the holidays?

Team Edward!!

So I LOVED the book Twilight and the last one Breaking Dawn. (the two in the middle were SOOOOOOO boring!!) And I never really understood why Edward was so into Bella. She is so whiny! But the movie was really great and helped me see the chemistry {{the forest scene where he backs her up against a tree?!}} HOT! Don't go in with too high expectations and you'll really enjoy it! One note * I wanted him to sparkle more!

Beautiful Bailey

there's not much to say about Bay except she is so Beautiful!! Oh, and she's wearing Coopers shirt.

All Hallow's Eve 2008

So this was Coops Halloween costume. It sort of came about half way through the day. He tried on one of the bazillion costumes we already own (ninja, karate guy, football guy, racecar guy, power ranger etc...) but he decided he wanted to be a skateboard guy that was also a football guy...thus the football shirt not jersey. He was a football guy who was not playing right then, but skateboarding instead. {phew}
Then we went to the city trick or treating in the park and he got this cool sticker badge from one of the PG police officers, so he decided that he wanted to be a skateboard cop. So it was finally decided that he would be AN UNDERCOVER COP protecting the kids in the skateboarding community! Only Cooper would need that much detail!






So cute Bailey is Peter Pan. Not as much explanation needed for this costume. But still just as cute!! {{squeeze}}
