For mine and my sisters Birthday weekend we took a MUCH needed GIRLS only trip to LAS VEGAS!!! there were a total of 18 girls that went and let me tell you, we had a great time. We stayed at my sisters house the first night and then the other 2 nights we stayed on the Strip. We ate and ate and ate!!! We hit up the Donny and Marie show, Carrot Top, and made it to a taping of the game show Lets Make A Deal. ( we will be on the show April 6, 2010, just in case you want to find us in the crowd) No one got picked to make a deal but we still had lots of fun. We walked almost the entire Strip on Sunday and did some shopping. In the end we had a great time and cant wait to plan another one!! Thanks everyone for coming and thank you to my sister for letting us crash at her house!!

so we have slowly been decorating Zoe's room. i think by the time i go into labor it will be done. I keep trying to get people to come over and con them into helping but no one buys it:( So last night after we did our new recipes i conned my mother-n-law and sister-n-law into helping me mod podge letters for her room. They turned out really good. Thanks Mary and Buffie for helping me!!

new recipes

Parker enjoying it all
Ryland loved the noodles
everything together
crab wontons
ginger chicken stir fry with snap peas and zuchinni
Chang Hi noodles
Vegetable fried rice( a weight watchers meal)

So my inlaws and i have started a tradition that we are going to do every week. One night a week we are going to try and make new recipes that we have never made before! We will have a theme each week and everyone will bring a small dish within the theme. We get together and cook for about 2 hours and then have a feast!! So last night was our first night. The theme was CHINESE!!

We made crab wontons and homemade sweet and sour sauce. Ginger chicken stir fry, vegetable fried rice and Chang Hi (however spelled) noodles. Everything was great. The pictures do no justice for how good it was... hope you enjoy!!

New years eve we had the neighbors over and had dinner and played games. It was lots of fun. Parker was out by 8:30 and The rest of us called it a night around 11:30pm. After the games the boys decided to go outside and an Airsoft Gun War.. Rob got hit in the forehead and bled a little. Roy finished with about 10 or so welts all over and taylor a shot in the bad place. if you know what i mean!!

Ryland , me, Jersie, Tracy and Phyllis all went to Disney on Ice last weekend. It was fun. Tinkerbelle lasted a little too long for Ryland and he got really bored and wanted to go home. He finished it out but was really excited to leave. The Cotton candy and cookies must have held him over a little bit!!
