Andrew is going to Homecoming!

On Monday Andrew asked a girl named Mckenna to the Homecoming dance. The following pictures show what Andrew looked like when he showed up on her door.


It was so cute. Andrew made up a poem and then would strum his guitar and sing/say a line of his poem. Strum. Sing. Strum. Sing. It was a scene straight out of a 60's movie featuring an artsy coffee shop with people reciting poems or playing their guitar and people snapping in approval. Andrew rocked and was so cute she couldn't turn him down. Which actually she maybe should have.

About a half hour before he showed up some poor kid left a bag of flour on Mckenna's doorstep with a note asking her to homecoming. At least Rachael's bag of flour had a message with a double meaning. Mckenna's did not so she had spent a half hour looking through the flour and there was nothing in there. So up walks Andrew, rings the doorbell, and is welcomed by Mckenna and her parents (with a video camera in hand) ready to find out who left the flour. Since she didn't know who the other boy was she said yes to Andrew instead. Talk about good timing on our part.

Rachael and Andrew doubled with their dates and had a fantastic time filled with zoo animals, pizza making, and cow tipping, minus the cows. Pictures to come.

Broccoli Salad

My children have this thing for broccoli salad and they beg me to make it weekly. Every time I make it I become mom of the week around here which I happen to like! One would think that it might be odd for kids to love broccoli salad, and I am not necessarily thinking it is normal, but I do know it is pretty tasty. I decided for today's post to share my recipe. Beware, I am all about easy so don't expect something elaborate, and I cook for a crowd so if you want to make this adjust to your size of family. 1/2 package of broccoli florets from Costco (chopped) 1/2 red cabbage (shredded) 2 handfuls (or add to desired preference) of Craisins 2 handfuls (or add to desired preference) of real bacon bits 2 handfuls (or add to desired preference) of unsalted sunflower seeds 1/2 a bottle of Kraft Creamy Poppyseed Dressing Mix Seriously, if my kids scarf this salad down I promise most kids will.

2009 Family Pictures

We had the funnest silliest adventure today. We decided that since Rachael's braces are off and Mark and I have lost a few pounds that it would be a great time to take our family pictures. I have seen some really cool looking pictures done at the salt flats so we took a drive out there. Yep, 2 hours later, after making a 20 min. past our destination detour, having to stop at the only gas station in the middle of nowhere for a bathroom trip, and just as the sun was going down over the mountain we pulled up. The couch was very quickly unloaded and then in a very hasty 10-15 min. We sat, posed, and pushed the button to take our picture over and over again. It was such a good time with all of us laughing and enjoying every minute of the warm light and family bonding. Please note that these pictures are straight out of the camera and I have not edited them yet. Even with that being said, I LOVE them!!! It is just what I was envisioning. Once editing is done I think they will be quite ...

Questions Answered, Questions Created

Today was Mark's appointment with the pulmonologist at the Huntsman Cancer Institute. I wish I could say that we came away with answers, good or bad, but instead Mark and I just feel confused. We got to the appointment about 15 minutes early which gave us plenty of time to fill out the piles of paperwork. As we were filling out the paperwork we noticed a sign that was posted with the names of each of the doctors and whether each of them were on time or not. According to the sign our doctor was right on time so after finishing the paperwork we sat back expecting that we would get in within a few minutes. Well, a few minutes turned into a half hour, which turned into an hour plus. Finally they called us back to our room and the nurse assured us that the doctor was just writing up a couple prescriptions for the previous patient and then he would be right in. Of course right in meant another 20 minutes or so. The doctor finally came in and proceeded to ask us questions about Ma...
