I'm So Glad When Daddy Comes Home.....(seriously! What would I do if Daddy did not come home?) When Trent walks through the door (after a long day of work)  I feel like immediately breaking in to the moon walk across the tile floor. The kids squeal with delight and bombard him with their love; Which usually consists of them being half clothed, sticky faced, leg climbing, monkey screaming, toy throwing, maniacs! Thanks for not only being our kids hero but mine.

We Love You Daddy!

 

This is my Daddy's Day humor! (Syd's- latest doll house set up) 

"Daddy" Fisher Price- chill'n  with his tunes....

while that Hot little blonde (I like to imagine is me) is doing the dishes.

I think this is funny, only because if anything, Trent is the die hard dish washer at our house. 

(Syd, thanks for providing me with good humor!)

Road Tripp'n

Uncle Mac and Auntie Angie came out to the "Natti"(Cincinnati) this past week. Of course we had to make the grande trek up to Kirtland, OH for the historic church history sites. Trent had Youth Conference and was not able to join us, which made me a little nervous to drive with my posse solo but Mckay and Angie were an awesome help and we had a great time. 

Really, I think their just happy to be out of the mini.

Kirtland Temple (or if your my Dad- The Kirkland Temple)

Our cousin, Sister Shoell is serving at the Newell K. Whitney Store. It was fun to have her give us our own personal tour. 

You Look Like a Moose!

You look like a moose..... I mean, eat this White Chocolate Mousse!!!

1 C whipping cream

2 tbs sugar

3 oz cream cheese (softened)

3 squares (1 oz each) white baking chocolate, melted

2 C blueberries, raspberries or strawberries (additional berries optional)

In a mixing bowl, beat cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar, beat until stiff peaks form; set aside. In another mixing  bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy. Add chocolate and beat until smooth (I just melted the chocolate in the microwave). Fold in whipping cream. Alternate layers of mousse. Garnish with additional berries. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 3 hours. 

* I tripled this for eight large servings but you could probably double this and serve smaller portions. (did I really suggest smaller portions?)

 

Good Morning!

The past week or so we have been trying to get Tate to put three words together (some developmental mumbo jumbo.) Well, congratulations to me! This morning when I poured Tate Fruit Loops he said "DON'T LIKE IT!"

I thought that was funny so here is another shot.

"DON'T LIKE IT!"

Why Tate was having fruit loop melt down, Emmy was in the morning mush stupor. That is when this one came down for breakfast.....

I kid you not.... she has wore these goggles, pretty much, for the past two years straight. Do you remember Steve from the movie Multiplicity? I love the Sydster!

 

This is pretty much a typical morning. Wow, does it make you want to slap some goggles on and eat a bowl of fruit loops?

The Closet Auger

When Trent and I moved to Kansas, for his internship with Procter and Gamble, we had this funny experience, well a combination of funny/border line appalling.  It was the Fourth of July and after typical Fourth of July festivities we got back to our apartment fairly late.  Poor Trent had,well... let's call it a "late night date with the potty." After many failed attempts with a plunger it left us with no option but to call the apartment maintenance. Can you imagine getting a service call on the Fourth of July to unclog some ones potty? I always hoped that Mr. maintenance got through his firework show before he got the dreaded phone call. Needless to say, I got the giggles when the not so happy plumber showed up and  realized what he  was up against. I knew it was bad when he had to go back out to his truck to get one of these....

The Closet Auger

I honestly thought it was a fishing pole, which made the giggles turn into a full blown belly laugh. (I am sure at this point Mr. Maintenance probably wanted to give me a closet auger beating).  I thought I would share the closet auger story, only because when I saw my toilet this week it brought back the memory and I had to wonder if we were going to have to track down a closet auger when I saw this....

lucky for me it was an easy fix and I was able to fish out a few toys that were within reach. That is when I decided to corner my victims and figure out which one did it.

This one is clever and cute but lacks the skill.... which leaves me with one of these two...

Lucky for me, Syd does not know the art of a fib and after a brief grilling she passed with flying colors.

and then, there was one.......

I know, he is cute.....  but the dude is destroying everything in his path. I have had to give my self pep talks every night this week, that the most important thing that I can be doing is to love this little destroying angel and to look on the bright side, no closet auger needed!
