Party Week

So a couple of weeks ago we ended up having Pizza for dinner 3 times. Now that I think about it, we might have eaten it four, which is definitely a Party week. First, we had some really good authentic Italian Pizza at a new pizzeria that opened in Orem. I highly recommend it. It's not as good as the real thing (but pretty darn close). We also ate frozen pizzas at least once, and finished the week off with one of those lucky pizza nights where we each made our own pizzas. Talk about Yum!


This was Marcella after she thought I took all the cheese. Little did she know we had two bags. Can't get enough cheese.

Don't those just look delicious?

Jon was super fast at making his, he must have been hungry. So he was the lucky one who got to cook his first and eat first!

Here is Marcella waiting for her pizza to be done, I think she was sad Dad was lucky enough to eat first. It is hard when you always get to eat first and then we change the rules on you!

When will it be done?

The best part about the night. Rice Krispie Treats! Followed by a fun game of Zooloretto. Just give us a call anytime you want to stop by for some yummy pizza and dessert, we love visitors!

Sick, Yuck stay away!

So it seems it had to all happen at once, I am just glad to say it happened after Easter and not before, because we had such a fun Easter. I guess you could say it started on Easter, when her nursery teacher came and told me that Marcella had just been laying down on the floor and didn't want to play or do anything... WHAT? She wasn't like that during Sacrament meeting, or when she was having so much fun eating her candy and trying to find her eggs. Who knows. Then the rest of the day she seemed fine. Sunday night she got the "I can't breathe because my nose is stuffy cold", then in the morning it runs like the dickens. Now of all things she has Pink Eye! This picture isn't a very good one because it was taken yesterday before it got really bad, but I feel so bad for the poor girl. She has a cold, Pink Eye, and is getting 2 molars. I hope we survive! It is times like this we have to remember they aren't always sick, though it may feel like they are.

Breaking News

Marcella held a press release to break the following announcement:

A little MiXeD uP!

Ok so lately I have been laughing a lot at some of the things Marcella has been saying. Here is a story for example. Marcella has been getting scared of Lions and Tigers. Not sure why she is scared of them or what brought it on, but sometimes before she goes to bed she will call us in and tell us she is scared. So the other night I was talking to her and I told her whenever she feels scared she can pray to Heavenly Father and he will help her not to feel scared. So we said a little prayer together and then she went to sleep. Well another night later we were playing the infamous toss the "something" into a basket after you answer a question game, for Family night. We would ask Marcella all about Joseph Smith and she was having fun tossing her bean bag in the basket. Well I guess she just has Joseph Smith on her mind because a couple nights later she came into our room at 4:00 am and said "Mommy, Daddy I'm scared" so we brought her up into bed with us and as she was laying in between us, she turned to me and said, "Mama, I not scared any more cause I prayed to Joseph Smith and he help me not be scared."

Then today she started stamping her hand with a little stamp she has, so I started telling her about how our bodies are special and we shouldn't draw on them or stamp on them. I then told her that Heavenly Father gave us our bodies so we have to treat them nice. Later this afternoon we were washing her hands in the sink and she says, "We not draw on our bodies, cause Joseph Smith gave them to me." I told her no Heavenly Father gave us our bodies and she said "ya Joseph Smith did, I not draw on mine."

Updates

So I haven't updated in a while, so here goes. I am just going to make a slide show of all the fun things we have done this month. I was able to go to Jami's house in San Jose at the beginning of the month. It was so much fun. It was sunny the whole time I was there and we went to San Francisco and the beach. The girls and Trenton were so cute. Thanks Jami for letting me come out.

Here we have our "Valentine's Day Dinner". We had a lot of fun. On Wednesday we went out to dinner with Jeff and Caroline. It was pretty good food and great company. Thanks for all the laughs guys!






Here is our real Valentine's dinner with Marcella. She had so much fun helping me get the table ready and making dinner. We had beef stroganoff, bread, veggies and for dessert Fruit Smoothies. It was so yummy. I got this idea off of the food blog and Marcella loved it. She had so much fun "eating her glass" it was pretty funny.


Here is one of Marcella's own art work. First she drew all over our desk with a pen then she somehow figured out how to take a picture of it and then we found a few videos taken by hers truly of the desk and her feet. It was quite funny... I sometimes wonder what I was doing while she was having fun, it seems to only take seconds and you can have a disaster, only this time she documented it herself.
