Thomas the Train

Thomas the Train came to Heber this weekend. We drove up to see him. Don't think we paid $18 dollars a ticket for a ride, we are too cheap for that. We just walked around him, took some pictures and left.

In this picture, I look how I feel most of the time: like a sherpa. Any mother knows, you are constantly carrying; kids, babies, strollers, car seats, bags, purses, diaper bags, grocery bags, library books...the list is endless. Now I know why so many people get arthritis...how can you not?
Talmage was sad to see him go. He kept asking, "Where is he going? To help Percy?"
Since Saturday, anytime we hear a train whistle Talmage says, "There goes Thomas the train."

The panting tongue

Logan is a goof-ball. That is the only and best word to describe him. He thinks he's funny, he acts funny and he is constantly laughing at himself.
This week he started panting. He crawls around ALL DAY with his tongue hanging out. It's pretty funny. Sorry for the shaky camera.

Repurposing the ABC's

What do you do with an old pile of jeans?
Cut them up, sew them together and make the back of a quilt.
An ABC construction quilt.
Side note: if anybody out there is proficient at binding, I need help.

In Trouble

Why is it everytime I turn on my camera, this is what I see?



Totally caught, red handed.

Big Mouth

Logan LOVES to eat. Since about 6 weeks ago, this kid has boycotted the bottle and only wants food, food and more food. Consequently, he has gotten a little fatter; but we like it that way. This is a video of his 3rd bowl of oatmeal. He loves this stuff and would eat it at every meal.

Breakfast Calzones

A couple of weeks ago, my brother Tanner had this awesome idea; that we should make some breakfast calzones. He is a master of all things breakfast and I have a pretty awesome pizza dough recipe, so we decided to collaborate and the breakfast calzone was brought to fruition!
What is in a breakfast calzone? Or rather, What do boys like to eat for breakfast?
Bacon, sausage, eggs and hash browns fried in bacon grease and cheese. We pre-cooked all the ingredients and piled them onto mini pizza rounds. Folded and baked. Here is some documentation of the event.
If I was a more dedicated blogger, I would've thought to take a picture of all the ingredients BEFORE they ran out, you only get to see a picture of what was left after we created the masterpiece.
Some extra eggs, not too much sausage and one last thing of dough.
Here we are taking them out of the oven. Nice and large. Andrew was really excited.

Tanner tried the first one. As you can see, it is unusually large. He made a Man-Sized Calzone for himself. It was almost as large as his head, which is quite a feat, he has a large head.
Of course, they tasted more than satisfactory. They were delicious and we were glad we made enough to eat for the next morning. Andrew could barely contain himself; he was so overwhelmed by the delectable deliciousness of the breakfast calzone.
