Imagine That!

Bella the biker babe!
Xavier is ready to fight fires!

My ballarinas.
Rat ta ta ta ta on the drum!

We went to a children's museum called Imagine that! The kids had so much fun playing in an airplane, VW bug, fire truck, tractor and motorcycle! There were tons of other stuff too like a doctor and dentist office, the post office, a grocery store and an arts and craft center! The place was great and the kids couldn't have been happier! We were there for like 4 hours! Crazy!!

Spring Fever

Elder Henderson burning his tie.
Bella the car model.
Yesterday was Beautiful! 72 degrees. We spent the evening blowing bubbles and playing soccer and baseball. Isabella is good at soccer! She can dribble the ball for a long time, then she picks it up! She doesn't quite get that there are no hands. Xavier was the baseball superstar! He was batting right handed and wasn't so hot but when he switched and started batting left handed he was doing amazing! The Elders were worn out! Elder Henderson hit his six month mark so he burned his tie. The only thing I was worried about was Isabella's hair catching fire! We ended the night with Bella modeling on the Elders car. It's not exactly a sports car and she will not be in a bikini EVER but they are still cute pictures! I hope we have more beautiful weather in our future!

The Moment of Truth

OK so last night I was flipping through channels as I was organizing my recipes. (I know very exciting) and I came across this show and I was shock and appalled. The premise of the show is to answer these uber personal questions about yourself and your marriage while being hooked up to a lie detector. For each of your answers you get money. Firstly I was just shocked to hear some of the questions that this woman was answering in front of her husband and her Mother (and the country) and then come to find out that they are members of the church! The host asked her on more than one occasion if she wanted to continue even though her answer might end her marriage and she just kept smiling and said Yes. Whatever I think the show should be called " I need some drama in my life and want a divorce so just make it easy for me!" It sad for me to think that this is what's on TV. I usually don't pay much attention or get heated about things I can not control but this was just too much! Have you all heard of this show before? Maybe I'm the last to know but I won't be watching any time soon!

Easter Fun!

We had a pretty fun filled Easter this year! The first pics are of us decorating Easter eggs. Then we had a ward party and of Easter morning and right before church pictures. Then you have pictures of our Easter dinner. I LOVED doing this!! I have to say that there are a ton of pictures and I am sorry for that but I really couldn't leave any out! I hope you all had a fabulous Easter! We sure did!!

A brand new me!

This is the before shot! I wear my hair up so much that I didn't even realize how long it was! It quite literally was touching my butt!
........Now it barely touches my shoulders!
From drab to fab! I really did love my long hair but I also hated it so I was really ready for the dramatic change! You can't really see all the fun new highlights but I really love my new look!! So what do you think???

St. Patrick's Day

We had a green breakfast! Green pancakes and green milk. The kids loved it!! Xavier kept asking for green milk all day, white milk just wouldn't do! Then we had these rainbow snacks for FHE. The kids liked making them more than they liked eating them but it was still really cute and we even delivered some to our friends! It was a super fun, green day!

Sweet Butter

So Friday Xavier brought home a baby food jar with cream in it from school. They were trying to make butter. Well, I decided that I needed to shake it a little bit and sure enough we got butter! I think I was a little more into then Xavier but I really did think it was so cool! The best part is that the butter is really sweet and good! I think you should all give it a try!! Yum-O

Turning 30

So I'm on my way out! I'm so old! Turning 30 doesn't feel quite as bad as I once thought it would! I had a big party to celebrate my 3 decades and it was tons of fun! We had lots of food my best friends and even my sister was there! I couldn't have asked for anything more! I just want to thank everyone for helping and coming and planning and for all the great gifts! (This is not your thank you note by the way. They are coming soon) I got a ton of scrapbooking stuff which I loved! Kristin thinks I am a little excessive and Mel wants to come shop at my scrapbook "store" but I say you can NEVER have too much!! I will also be getting a cut and color this week thanks to my bestest buds! I will post pictures for sure!! So I love you all and look forward to the next chapter in the book of Shandis

Birthday Cake

So I made this cake with my new mixer. It is really one of the first things I've done! My friend Gemma did the decorating I just came up with the idea! I am so not that talented! Super cute cake though!! I thought I would show you the real Elder Blodgett that Xavier was pretending to be in the earlier post! This was his birthday celebration. He's left our area and we miss him already! So it goes with Missionaries!

Happy Valentine's Day!

These are the Valentine's that Xavier gave to his classmates. He loved them so much!
I hand dipped these strawberries with Dove chocolate for Xavier's teachers.
The box!
We made these treats in his class during our class party. The heart is made with watermelon. So cute and healthy!! I hope you all had a fun one! We sure did!!
