Introducing........

Oliver's Word of the Day:
tomato + tornado = Tormato
Definition: noun; a thing that sucks everything up when you go by it. So don't go by it.

For one time ONLY!

I'm little obsessed with my boys and husband matching for church on Sundays, but it gets worse for Holidays like Christmas, Easter and such. I used to make them pants, ties and shirts to match my dress or skirt. Crazy I know, but we would all look so cute! I've gotten better though. Now I just make them wear matching ties and white shirts. This year for the first time ever I will be selling my ties at a boutique the Saturday before Easter. So if you find yourself wanting your hubby and boys to match with cute ties on Easter Sunday, just come to this Boutique. It's Saturday March 22nd from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm at 922 N. Gilbert rd. in Mesa 85203. Here's the link to the on line flyer if you are interested. Please come, there will be food, crafts and a Magic show for the kids.

My sister Kachelle will be there too selling her nursing covers. I hope to see you there!

Duh!

Ok, I've said in the past how it freaks me out when I find "myself" on the internet. I'm sure it scares everyone. So I am a little reluctant to share my blogger profile, but I do anyway. You don't have too, but if you find yourself "blog-surfing" one night and your finding long lost relatives and such, you might want to decide to share your blog profile so "said" relatives can view your stinking blog when you forget to mention your blog address in the blog invite you give them on their comments. Duh! I'm not gonna mention any names cluff construction fam.

Welcome Back Buddy Bear!

Buddy Bear
Back in September Oliver got to bring home his school mascot "Buddy Bear" for two days. Then he got to record all of his and Buddy's adventures in the notebook that comes with him.

Well today Oliver got to bring him home again because he was being so Good and Reverent in school today. He was completely over-joyed and they've been playing wonderfully since then. Oliver even introduced "Buddy" to Playhouse Disney online.

Take that "Hagrid!" My kid was the Good one.

The Random 7

I was just tagged by the one and only Trish and Ozzy . I feel a little bad doing it though since I haven't done my friend Mechelle's tag yet. However Trish was extremely close to the disaster area in Arkansas this week so I feel bad for her. Therefore I'm doing her tag first.

Here's the rules:

Once you are tagged, link back to the person who tagged you.
Post the rules on your blog.

Seven Random or Weird Facts About Me:
1. My naval is pierced.

3. I took piano lessons from the age 8-18 but can't read music or play at all now.
4. I'm the worst singer in our ward choir.
5. I don't get grossed out by picking kids gross, crusty boogers from their noses.

Watch out, he's a fast one!

The Crime:

Wasted 5 lb. bag of rice.

The Accused:

Simon Barsinister

Verdict:

Guilty of all charges!

I'm probably guilty too. I was after all just cleaning the sink not 5 steps away. He moved with the swiftness of a ninja so I heard nothing. I might also point out that he's only crying because I stopped him from spreading it any further, not because he thinks he's in trouble. If he thought he was in trouble, he would be laughing. Little stinker.

Most Clicked on French Toast.

I was just watching the Today Show and they demonstrated how to make this French Toast on their "Kitchen" segment. They said it was the most "clicked on" recipe. It looked so good I thought I would share it with everyone. I think I'll make it for Jarred one morning so that his cold ride into work will be a little warmer. Enjoy!

INGREDIENTS:
1 stick unsalted butter
1 c. brown sugar
2 T. corn syrup
1 loaf country style bread
5 large eggs
1 1/2 c. half & half
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. grand marnier or orange juice
1/4 tsp. salt

Melt together butter, brown sugar and corn syrup. Spread in the bottom of a 9x13 pan. Cut loaf of bread into 6 slices and layer on top of melted mixture in pan. Whisk together eggs and remaining ingredients. Poor over bread and then cover with saran wrap. Put it in the fridge and let it sit over night. In the morning take it out and let it get room temperature before baking. Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with your favorite French Toast topping. Yum!
