My friend had this posted on her blog, and I think it is a great idea, wish I could be there. Pass it along.

superheroes and hot dogs...

Today was a rainy/snowy (for St. George) day. I forgot to get a picture of the actual "snow", which was really sleet I think, but I did get a picture of snow-covered Pine Mountain.

It was yucky. Zane couldn't wait to go out in the "snow". So he got his jacket on, his spongebob hat and gloves, and he had to wear a cape. It was really windy out, and he said he wanted to fly away. This is him with his "to the rescue" pose. Cute.

So, for dinner tonight, I was in the mood for soup, but Zane had other ideas. He told me he wanted "hot tail wingers". I had no idea what he was talking about. I kept trying to get him to explain, and he told me they are little hot dogs with toothpicks in them and no bun. Haha! COCKTAIL WEINERS! He said we had to have a game dinner and play cards while we were eating our hot tail wingers. Too hilarious. I think it came from a Curious George episode today. Here is what he did with his hot dog.

(oh and yeah, that is a new kitchen table, yay us!)
And I couldn't just post pictures of Zane without posting an adorable one of Lily in her princess ballerina jammies.

cuties...

Just thought I would share a couple recent pics with our new camera.

perfect dress...

Really, I must make this for Lily. One day. It is awesome.

the final countdown...

We got a new game. It's called SingStar. It's basically a karaoke game where you an compete against each other. The microphones measure your tone, pitch, and rhythm. We got an 80's version. It has some great songs. So Zane's new favorite songs are "Eye of the Tiger" and "The Final Countdown". He's been walking around the house singing "Eyyyyeeee of the Ti-ger", and wanted me to sing "dada da da...dada da da da" to him before bed last night.

So, we had to put the game away yesterday because Zane was getting upset and not taking turns. Of course, that caused the usual tantrum, and he went off into the pantry and hid behind the door. He was singing "dada da da" in between sniffles. It was HILARIOUS.

(If you don't know "The Final Countdown", click here, for "Eye of the Tiger" click here).

could i post any more today?...

Just was wondering whose idea it was to put marshmallows in cereal. Is there a kid out there that actually eats the cereal and doesn't just pick the marshmallow bits out? Really, I'm not buying this ever again.

fake...

Lily fake cries. She has done it since she was born, I swear. I caught a picture of it today. I'm afraid we are in trouble with this one because it is just tooo dang cute and funny.

my house is soooo not clean...

Still not back up to speed after the long holidays. I don't know what the deal is. I blame guitar hero. After playing the game various places this season, we decided it would be fun thing for us to do as a family. We bought the cheapest stuff we could find and it has been great fun. It has not turned into an "all night never see my husband thing" that I feared. (Ok, other than the first week). So, even though I haven't been spending every waking minute playing, can I still blame the game for my messy house and piles of laundry? I think so.

to whom it may interest...

the fish is still alive.

congratulations...

Congrats to the new Mr. and Mrs. Cheniae! Amanda (Abi's sis) and Chris were married this past weekend in Phoenix. We all had a great time. The wedding was lovely and it was so fun to see everyone. Welcome to the family Chris! Thank you for including us, and we love you both very much!

teething biscuits...

I've been on the search for some sort of finger type food for Lily that she can gnaw on that does not have high fructose corn syrup in it. These are the teething biscuits that I found. They are Healthy Times Vanilla Biscuits for Teethers. She LOVED them. The video is quite hilarious. Love the tongue. (btw, if you can hear it, that's John at the end - pretending to be Lily).

no bushes...

Yay for no more ugly bushes and dead grass! The new yard looks great. Only a little more work on the front rocks, and it's done.
