Recreation

We tried to go to the new J.L. Sorenson Recreation Center yesterday.

I was skeptical about getting in. It's only been open for a week now and this is only the second Saturday it's been open.  I thought we'd have a fat chance at getting in.

Look what I did, when we got there the pool was completely full. Standing room only. And. . . sure enough they wouldn't let us in. They said the pool was at capacity :( Boo - my kids were so sad :(

So. . . . . we played around for a little while

on the climbing wall. . .  . .

. . . . . . and the spin around music thingy

. . . . . . . and then decided to head over to the South Jordan Rec Center and go swimming there

we had a lot of fun.

Maybe next month we'll make it into the swimming pool at our new Rec Center.

Then Jen invited us over to celebrate her birthday with her by playing some games and having cake.

Her cake was beautiful! I was so impressed! It is so fancy. I don't know the first thing about using fondant. It makes me want to learn. Going to have to try it out.

My Big ol' B-day Sugar Cookie pales in comparison ~ ~ LOL Ü

 We had fun visiting with her family and playing some games. It was a good day.

St Paddy's Day Dessert

We made a fun little dessert for St. Paddy's Day. Green frosted cupcake (representing a grassy knoll), airhead sours rainbow (representing. . . .well a rainbow) and rolo's (representing the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow).


Even Zachary did one this time.

Josh was not to be outdone :D

And Hayden did not disappoint.

This dessert was lot's of fun!

May your mornings bring joy
and your evenings bring peace...
May your troubles grow less
as your blessings increase!


Happy St. Paddy's Day!!

Playing Hooky!

A step by step guide on how to play hooky :D :D :D


1.     Tell your kids that they don't have to go to school. See the confusion on their faces and then see the big smiles that creep across their faces.

2.     Make them something yummy for breakfast. My kids like dippy eggs. (see more about them here.)


3.     Watch them spread to their special places to play video games. Then you get to do your favorite hobby now too. Mine today was blogging.

4.      While they are playing around, do something else you want to do.  Mine was Costco and Chic-Fil-A for a yum-O lunch with Jeffrey.

5.      Drag some of your friends into your evil plan too :) and make them come with you to a movie. We chose Tangled -(some said it had too much singing)- but I really liked it. I thought it was so cute and fun.  Loved the hair, loved the lanterns and loved the chameleon.

7.      Go out to dinner at your friend's most favorite fast food restaurant - our friends like Taco Bell.

6.      End the night with dessert. We chose A&W Root Beer Float Syrup (see more about that here) over vanilla ice cream.  Yum-O-Yum!


We had a blast Playing Hooky! Our hope is that with this step by step guide, you too can have a blast the next time you try Playing Hooky! :D :D :D   LOL   :D :D :D
