Good for the Brain

Here is the my new find in getting "good" stuff for my children! I read about this one and bought it today at Smith's. I am always looking for "good stuff". Please share any tricks or finds w/me.

The cute cups help but this one taste fine and all three will drink it! Aubreana is very funny. I told her drink this it's good for your Brain and will make you smart. She say's oh~ I better drink alot of that! How funny huh? It is good because it has a different taste vs juice. It is more like cinnamon Chai taste. Overall I like this one!

Frank gave me this today. I put it there so everytime I walk by it I can make sure I really like it. I do! I like looking at it cuz it is new and clean!!! I wish they stayed clean??

Happy Mother's day!

On Saturday we went to our first family baseball game!

This is Cosmo.

Andrew had hopes to catch a ball.

So did Alaina.

Aubreana put make-up on Alaina. She said she wishes she had an older sister and thinks Alaina is lucky to have her. She is and so are we! Aubreana liked the game.

Baseball games are fun and we think once in a while it is fun for everyone!

Saturday was a long day! So, Sunday morning came early! Frank made me Eggs in a nest! The kids and him brought me breakfast in bed. Church is 9 am and we made it oh about 5-6? Min. late.

Happy Mother's Day to all the Mom's! I will say today was better than my birthday! I love when I feel loved and today was very good! I loved not having to cook or do dishes!!!! I loved just being here and letting Frank be "Me" for the day! I asked him Can I get a CROWN? He didn't reply! Maybe next year? Anyhow, I loved today and wish it came more often! I love my husband and children and of course my dog Luna! April

Purity

Dr. Aubreana is performing a life-saving operation to help save her patient. She is in serious trouble!

The purpose of the operation is to correct all the things wrong with these patients so they can be married in the Temple.

Great little fun games to help us all strive to do better!
I can E-mail this Purity game to anyone wanting it! I like to do little stuff like this before bedtime. Have a wonderful day! April

Italian soup

2 zucchini chopped in circle shape, 2 sweet sausage w/cases off, 3 Garlic cloves chopped, 32 oz. beef broth or a couple cans, 1 chopped onion, 1 8 oz. can Tomatoe sauce, 2 cups water, 3 carrots chopped, 1 cup red wine, 1 package of cheese tortellini. First brown sausage, garlic & onion w/ olive oil, Mix and break up meat, add everything except zucchini and tortellini. Cook about 30 mins on low. Then add zucchini and simmer 30 mins. Last turn up heat add tortellini cook 10 mins. In this picture it shows mushroom tortellini and it is after we already ate. That being said the picture is not the best! Really it is delish!

Interesting things we learned.

Alot of games to play:)

Alot of stuff to see:)

I love Sunflowers! It made me think of my sister Amber. Happy Birthday!

Build a Building:)

Fun in the sand. So much stuff to play with and see and do here. They loved the little animal area.

The Gardens were peaceful with walking trails.

More in the garden area.

Alaina said it was her bestest day ever! Which just means she had a great day! This was the first time we ever went here. We did buy a year pass. I found it to be a good place to visit.

Star Trek

For Alaina's Birthday we as a family went to Star Trek. She also had a party on Sat. Pics on her blog.

Not the best picture but it was cool stuff!

The rides were fun and the Munchkins had us chuckling a few times! They were very silly and Frank and I laughed at how silly they were. They acted like it was all real and it made it all that much more fun for us!

Should I be scared???

Even the bathrooms are Star Trek looking~ Cool stuff!

For F.H.E. Andrew picked a story to read out of the friend along with the treat! Snowball Rice Krispy treats. Yummy uhh! Finger licken good?

Let me explain...They had just a little bit of sugar on their faces...Then me being silly put a little
on mine and I guess that was the go, the ok, the green light! See the fun they had! No school, Star Trek, Sugar faces and we ended the night with John Bytheway.( We also went to Deseret Book store and got a new dvd today.) They love his dvds. A good day! And a goodnight!
