My new favorite lunch!

Black bean quesadilla!!

o.k. the picture isn't the best, but it is a GREAT lunch. 

1)  Rinse your black beans and mix with as much salsa as you like.  

2)  Put black bean mixture on a tortilla with a bit of cheese and grill till each side is golden crispy and cheese is melted.  :)

3)  top with sour cream if desired.  

Seriously, TRY IT.  SO GOOD!

Let's get ready to RUMBLE. . . . . . .

Lo is lovin' some b-ball this winter.  It's pretty awesome watching 5 year olds play b-ball.  Lo is AWESOME!!!!  He is pretty darn aggressive and is SURE to keep track of EVERY point made!  :) Plus, he really enjoys it!  :)  I've decided that one of my favorite parts of parenting is watching my kids participate in things they love!  :)

Lo is a great defender!!!

 Shoot!!!  SCORE!!!!!

Good job little buddy!!! :)  Go get em'.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE !!!!!!!

MY SILLY BOYS!

AND MY BEAUTIFUL GIRLS!!!!! :)  

we all find our spot. . . .

I'm not sure if it's a ward tradition or simply convenience, but we all seem to find our spot in the kitchen.  My sister had a 'spot' in the china cabinet where she put all of her things--extra change, earrings, etc.  My brothers and I seemed to find the heater on the floor of the kitchen (especially during the winter months.)  And I think we ALL claimed the spot on the counter that turned just beneath the spice cabinet.  I remember sitting on that counter countless times--helping my mother make cookies, or just sitting and talking to whomever was  in the kitchen at the time.  

WELL, Meg has found her spot.  She LOVES to push the lazy suzan cabinet just enough to fit in the other side.  She eats her snacks there, watches me cook, and babbles away!! :)  She must take after my side of the family!!  :)  Love you, Meg.

What do YOU do on a snow day?

We have had a couple of snow days at home, so we've had to become creative with activities!!  I love having balloons on hand.  My kids seem to come up with great games.  Todays version????  Sumo wrestlers!!! :)  

 Don't worry, Z-man got a lot of good shots in too!

 I love this picture.  Meg saying 'cheese' to Lo and Zander the linebacker/sumo man!!!! :)

 Being super gentle with 'little miss Sumo'  :) 

It's the NEW YEAR!!!

I finally get to post my 'calendar' pages for the last year.  Each year I scrapbook one page per month and then turn it into a calendar.  I love looking back at my kids a year ago and it's an easy way to keep a scrap book!  Soooo, here are my pages!  :)
