Quick Update

Wow, what a crazy few weeks it has been around here. Here is a quick update on our family:


Myles is talking more then ever! He repeats almost everything (so you have to be careful what you say...). He loves to recite his colors. He loves to say Mickey Mouse (of course), Handy Manny, I love you, Jackson, and Bree. He is so fun to be around - he definitely keeps the humor going on in our house!

Bree is loving kindergarten. She is going through the "fit throwing" stage. Oh, it's so fun to be around!! She hates it when things don't go her way - I hope she grows out of it. But, looking at my track record, I don't see that happening. But, we love her tons and we'll get through the fits. She loves to color and make books ALL the time. I went to look for computer paper yesterday morning, and of course it was all gone. But at least she loves to be creative.

Jack just finished Jr. Jazz, which he loved! He was so good at it too. He scored 7 baskets in one game. I'm so glad he's found something he likes. Basketball is kindof foreign to Dusty and I, but we love watching him do something he likes. He is also playing piano, which he likes - but doesn't enjoy practicing, of course. He wants to play drums eventually, so this is a rule in our home - play piano first!

Dusty is busy at work. He is also taking a little break from Wasatch Winds - which I feel so bad about. Things have been so crazy busy around here, he felt he needed to take a little break. He is getting ready for a cabin trip with his friends in a few weeks. He seems pretty excited - even though I give him a bad time about it, lol! Only because I want to spend time with him - haha!

I'm busy as always. Guard is going good. At our last show, 4 of my groups took 1st and 1 took 2nd. It was a great night. Last weekend I took my Wasatch group to California - but, we never made it. We got to Reno and they had closed down Donners pass because of an accident. Then, the storm hit! Ugh, it was so frustrating. But the girls handled it really well and we headed home the next afternoon. What a weekend!

Well, that about covers everything. I am looking forward to two weeks ahead of now - I'll get a little break from work!

Ugh!!

This is the iPhone - obviously! The iPhone and me are NOT friends. I repeat, NOT friends. This is the 6th iPhone I've had. We just don't have any luck together. I am even more angry right now because when setting up my 6th iPhone, I lost all my contacts - which hasn't happened in the other 5 times I've synced my phone!! Ugh... That's all.

AF Guard - March 12, 2011

Long Day of Baking...

So, I have taken the day to try a few different recipes - and oh my gosh they turned out delicious!! Check out my cooking blog for the French Breakfast Puffs - and, just an FYI: I didn't have unsalted butter OR margarine, so I just used 6 Tbsp. of salted butter and they turned out just fine.


Here is my finished product:

And then I decided to make soft oreo cookies - I about died they were so good. You'll have to check back tomorrow on my food blog for the recipe for these - trust me, you'll want to try them!!

List for Tuesday

I am taking inspiration from my favorite blog (pioneerwoman.com) and making a list for today - maybe a little complaining, maybe a little rejoicing - not sure yet. But, here it is...

1. My laundry is big.
So, so big! I hate laundry - besides cleaning the bathrooms, it is my #2 worst chore! But, it has to be done I guess - so have to it!

2. I really need to see a doctor.
Why, you ask? Well, besides my mental well being... I have been sick for the past two weeks and can't shake it. But, I probably won't see a doctor until I'm on my death bed. Oh well!

3. I'm tired of working - need to spend more time with my kiddos.
The past two months have been CRAZY, to say the least! Work has been kicking my butt. But, I wouldn't trade it for the world - maybe just learn to be a little more organized. I was doing so well during the fall, but with 5 groups this winter it's definitely been a learning experience.

Some days I just want to sit in the middle of the floor and play games with Myles, color with Bree, and watching movies with Jack. But I do this occasionally. Sometimes you just have to drop everything and spend time with your kids.

4. I LOVE my new cooking blog.

When I am sick of working or cleaning my house - when my list of To Do's gets too big - I cook! It's my new love. And, I love getting all my recipes in one place. Makes it easier to find what I want! Check it out sometime (bakingattiffanys.blogspot.com).

5. I need an attitude adjustment!

I think the last one is self explanatory! I'll get right on that...
