Thank you my darling sweetheart; you know the way to my heart! 

Aerodynamic Cheerios?

Let me explain!  
Charlie is a major fan of this show!
mythbusters
mythbusters-episodes 
  He loves watching Mythbusters; Robert has set him up with all the episodes on his itouch.   Yippee!

Charlie watched an episode where they cover a car clay and then put debits in it like a golf ball.  Mythbusters was testing if a car can be more aerodynamic and get better fuel mileage with that type of surface.  Surprisingly it worked!   
   Charlie was creating his own version of the experiment with Cheerios and his itouch!

Weekend BBQ!

The weather has been very lovely and temperate.  We decided it would be fun to spring clean the patio and have a BBQ.

This was the first time we have used the rotisserie that came with the BBQ.  We decided to try pineapple.

A few neighbor kids came over and had dinner with us!

Getting the pineapple ready to serve!  It was very delicious; however next time I want to make a homemade caramel sauce to go with it!

Sleepy?

IMG_1731

Charlie was up very early in the morning due to the sirens from emergency response vehicles and could not go back to sleep.  Later in the morning I found him in his room like this!  He had made a nice little nest with all sorts of blankets, pillows, and stuffed animals!  He ended up sleeping until noon….so from nine until noon.  He was a tired little boy or growing.  He sleeps longer and eats more when he is growing.

Shopping at the Outlet Mall in Park City!

IMG_1719

Funniest story….at Charlie’s baby shower I was given a $40 gift card to Carter’s, by our good friend Carla.  I never used it and it has been in my wallet for four years!  I decided to see if it would still work and guess what, it did!  So I had $40 and got Charlie some very cute Sunday and play clothes.  I was so excited to have some fun money!

  Pictures of him in his Sunday clothes will soon be posted in the near future!

Charlie hanging out in our dressing room and watching movies on his Itouch while we shopped!  He was the best!

There are two really nice play areas for kids at the Outlet mall!  So many nice amenities for families when you live in Utah!  Charlie got to play and my Mom and I got to shop; we were all happy campers!

Hanging out in the pickup truck while Mom was at her appointment with her accountant! 

  That is what sparked this little adventure to Park City and Heber.  Mom had to go to her appointment that was at 8 at night; for tax purposes….just if you thought it was for something else…lol jk!   So we decided to make a trip to Park City and shop and then have dinner in Heber at our favorite Chinese restaurant.   It was a very fun day!

Cheese Sauce Devine!

Steven makes the best homemade cheese sauce.  Whenever I want homemade mac and cheese I give him the job of being the sauce chef.  It is like sateen smooth!

Finished product; yummy yummy in my tummy! 

Decorating Cookies!

IMG_1699

I had a bunch of left over Easter candy and frosting so I decided to let the kids have fun decorating sugar cookies!

IMG_1703

Charlie did a really good job decorating his cookies.  I helped him frost the cookies and it was funny how he wanted his cookies peach!

IMG_1704

Hayley really went to town and decorated lots of cookies.  We made sure she could bring home a cookie for everyone in her family!

A new kitchen faucet!

IMG_1687

IMG_1690

I really did like the existing kitchen faucet….. however, after Steven lost the faucet cap down the drain, the shut off valves were leaking, and  the diffuser was accidently thrown away with the Pur water attachment……Alas it was time for a new faucet!

Good grief talk about a expensive purchase.  We really did not want to spend 100 plus on a faucet!

IMG_1692

Charlie was an excellent little helper.  I was impressed at his recognition of tools…Robert would ask him to get the such and such and he would know just which one to bring to Robert.  It must be a guy thing! 

IMG_1694

See how Robert is wet on his shirt and head…..it was really leaking under the sink.  At one point there was water dripping into the laundry room….remember turn off the main!  lol

We were searching all over the house for a flash light so Robert could see better under the sink.  Charlie had a brilliant idea and went and got his little lantern!  Worked great!

Robert Robert he’s our man if he can’t do it no one can!

Ta Da!  The new and very shinny kitchen faucet!

When there is a bazillion people in a park you dress your kid in something that really stands out!  Tie dye shirt and socks do the trick; thanks to Grandma and Grandpa Boulter!

Spin spin spinning!

Charlie after the spinning stopped!  I seriously thought he was going to be sick; he looks a little green!

Cute kids!  I felt like I was going to have a nervous break down keeping track of all of them.  This is as we are leaving and they are all accounted for, Phewwww!
