Ward Party

We had a ward party this past week. I made Curry Chicken. Normally it is not in casserole form, but it looked and tasted so yummy I had to take a picture of it. If you want the recipe, let me know. You will thank me later!



After dinner those that wanted to could learn how to square dance. My partner was Chad (we did our own thing). I thought this was pretty cute, so I thought I would post it.




Tagged

Thanks for the tag Melanie! (This is the easiest tag I've seen so far).
This is a picture of Chad and MaKayla up at the Gateway at the Children's Museum. They had a blast!



All of my family members: Christensen's/Rasmussen's you have been tagged!
Pick your fourth picture file, and the fourth picture in it, then post it.

Understanding Toddlers

MaKayla knows the cupboard that her bottles and sippy cups are in. The other day she was whining pointing to the cupboard. I first gave her a sippy cup of chocolate milk (it seems to be her favorite). She kept whining, and since I thought she might be a little hungry I filled a cup of Kix cereal in a cup for her to snack on. The whining didn't stop. Then, I gave in and gave her a bottle. Finally she was happy! I think the picture says it all.

School Mornings

Every morning Jeremy takes Brayden to the bus stop. If you live in my neighborhood, you may have seen/heard my kids stick there heads out of the sun roof. They all (including MaKayla) like to yell, while the air is hitting against there face taking there breath away. Chad comes back letting me know how awesome dad is because he drives fast and lets them stick there head out of the window!



Chads Field Trip

Chad and his preschool went to the Fire Station for a field trip. He loved it! They let all of the kids put on a fireman's hat and jacket...Chad was pretty determined not to try it on. I begged and bribed him...(because it would make such a cute picture) but he didn't want to have anything to do with dressing up!
