C-R-A-Z-Y!
I feel like I could go join "The Geek Squad" now with all my new knowledge of computers!
Now I am trying to get caught up with my blogging! I am going to put everything into one big post with the stuff that's been happening most recently at the beginning ... so here goes!
Sweetheart Valentine's Dance . . .
Each year, our church puts on a Sweetheart's Ball. They always have fantastic decorations, a live band with dancing, great food and a great time. It is such a fun evening to spend with your sweetheart! My sweetheart barely made it home from the middle-east in time to take me. He arrived that morning, was totally wiped out by the time we were supposed to go, but was a great sport! It was a very romantic night!
Delicious Lemon Curd Tarts
& Metro Mint Water . . .
Have you ever tasted Lemon Curd? Only about a thousand times better than lemon pudding. Found this GREAT simple recipe that can be made in the microwave and served in phyllo dough/prebaked little cups that you get 15 of at Walmart for $1.54. Definitely beautiful, tasty little things! Squirt on a dab of whipped cream and top with a raspberry and in no time, you have a little elegant dessert!
I made them for our Culinary Club but the big hit was the Metro-Mint water that we did taste tests on! Jessica told me about this refreshing beverage and we had to try them all. They all have a chill factor on the side. Peppermint is has a chill factor of 9 (and kind of tastes like watered down Listerine). My personal favorite is Chocolate Mint that has a chill factor of 4. Just another clever way to get us to spend $1.49 on a bottle of water! We are giving a "cheer" to Jessica in the picture below. Funny - our "theme" was rice dishes but I didn't even get 1 picture of the fabulous things that everyone brought - including home-made sushi, white chocolate rice pudding with a cherry sauce on top, etc.!
My Freshman Son Playing Sophomore B-ball . . .
Jacob is a freshman this year, however he was able to play on the sophomore team. They had to many freshmen so they split it into 2 teams. The only problem is that his team only had about 4 sophomores and they had to play against sophomore teams with much more experience. Needless to say, it has been a learning experience and not so much a winning experience! However, the Jr. Varsity coach let him play with the JV team during their last game and he scored a 3 pointer and made a free-throw so there is a promise of things to come next year. He was VERY excited.

I haven't sat down and looked at blogs for such a long time-I'm always amazed by how big Jacob and Kelsey are! Also did you and Jess ever get your blogs printed? I have wanted to do that with mine too-that way I don't feel quite so guilty about not writing in my journal ever!
Looking at your blog makes me miss being around people I grew up with...looks like I'm going to have to talk my husband into taking a road trip!
That picture of you and Kraig needs to go in a frame - cute! So glad the ladies loved the metromint...don't you think we could make our own? Your Sweetheart's Ball looked incredible, do you think your activities committee would want to come set up an even for our ward? :)
Did I tell you that Grandma confessed to eating the lemon curds you had set aside for me? It was funny.
ps - we will have to tell Laura that the blog printing saga has yet to be completed.
