Its been nine months since i've last updated this thing.. I think its time to start getting back into the habit of doing so!</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Back in August my kids started school again, I can't believe how big they are getting! My little Paigey is in first grade, my Ethan boy a fifth grader, Ashlyn started middle school, and Aubrie is now in high school!! 10th grade I cannot believe that time has gone by so fast with these kids!<br /></div><div>Ive been so caught up in work, sports, etc. Its always drive here, drive there! Lucky for me, Aubrie can drive now so i've been having her do so, and shes not that bad! Pretty soon she'll be 16 and I know there is already a list of handsome young men just waiting to take her on a date!</div><div></div><br /><div>School is going good now for my kids. Ashlyn is no longer at Summit, and is at South Hills Middle, I must say thats the smartest decision I have ever made. Shes getting such great grades and everything. </div><div></div><div>Aubrie, my slacker, is doing amazing in school! On her mid-terms she had nothing below an A-.<br /></div><div>I am so proud of all of them! </div><div></div><div>P.S.

Well, Ethan stood behind the girl and told her the words in her ear and did it in a way that no one would notice, but his teacher did. Just a KIND HEARTED boy.

I don't have time for anything anymore. I have been working on all my Christmas gifts for work mates the past hour and a half. I am glad that I started making them early. It is a homemade Christmas. Sometimes those are the best gifts.<br /><br />I am excited for a couple weeks of sleeping in (at least till 6:30 a.m.). I am also excited to just hang with my babies!<br /><br />I love this time of year. I love the feelings you get of love and service. I love taking my kids shopping for Toys for Tots and I am so proud that they get so excited to do it each year.<br /><br />This year Ethan has been involved in a Homeless Youth program, so he is collecting stuff for them. He wants me to use his Christmas money to buy stuff for these kids. That is the true meaning of Christmas.<br /><br />At this Christmas time, I like to reflect on the birth of our Savior. I wish I could have been there to witness the star in the east. My favorite song is "O HOLY NIGHT". I love the feeling that song gives me.<br /><br />I hope we all remember the true meaning of Christmas. I hope your days are merry and bright!Kristenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14217581854751383970noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3087783274091377806.post-29579770956434375462009-11-01T07:44:00.000-08:002009-11-01T07:45:41.113-08:00Halloween Halloween...TRICK OR TREAT!<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" bgcolor="#ffffff"><tr><td><a href="http://smilebox.com/play/4d5449784e546b7a4d6a513d0d0a&blogview=true&campaign=blog_playback_link" target="_blank"><img width="386" height="303" alt="Click to play this Smilebox slideshow: Halloween fun" src="http://smilebox.com/snap/4d5449784e546b7a4d6a513d0d0a.jpg" style="border: medium none ;"/></a></td></tr><tr><td><a href="http://www.smilebox.com/?partner=smilebox&campaign=blog_snapshot" target="_blank"><img width="386" height="46" alt="Create your own slideshow - Powered by Smilebox" src="http://www.smilebox.com/globalImages/blogInstructions/blogLogoSmileboxSmall.gif" style="border: medium none ;"/></a></td></tr><tr><td align="center"><a href="http://www.smilebox.com/slideshows" target="_blank">Make a Smilebox slideshow</a></td></tr></table>Kristenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14217581854751383970noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3087783274091377806.post-32938061424764101662009-09-21T14:11:00.000-07:002009-09-21T14:16:28.318-07:00Nothing new....Nothing new to blog about...other than, life has me down.

It was pretty fun. I really wanted to go and put my mouth under the streaming chocolate river. It looked so good. I can't say I would ever go do that tour again, only because, I don't think there would be anything new to see. But I am glad I went.

I thought Iwould share with you a few things we have made that have been soo good.</div><div></div><div>1) Fried Zucchini..of course. Try coating it in Corn meal....it is so yummy.</div><div></div><div>2) Lasagna...yes Lasagna! I layer it with the the noodle, ricotta cheese, then the thin length wise slice of Zucchini and then the meat mixture. You can hardly tell the Zucchini is there!</div><div>3) Zucchini Spirals- cut the zucchini length wise and steam till transparent. Add your ricotta mixture, roll up and place in baking dish and top with your favorite spaghetti sauce. Serve over Orzo pasta, or Angel hair...so yum!</div><div></div><div>4) Zucchini fries. Cut into strips and coat in bread crumbs, drizzle with "EVOO" and bake! They aren't super crispy...but they are good!</div><div></div><div>5) Roasted Zucchini- mix with potato wedges, a chopped tomato and salt and pepper. Roast at 375 degrees for 40 minutes...soo good! You can also make it a little "unhealthy" by adding chopped bacon and it will cook up and coat your potatoes in yummy bacon fat goodness!</div><div></div><div>6) Fettucini- just add with your white sauce....very good!</div><div></div><div>7) Stuffed Zucchini- Scoop the insides out. In a bowl mix with one egg, salt, pepper to taste, and tomato sauce. Top with bread crumbs, or panko crumbs and bake.</div><div> </div><div>Of course you can make Zucchini bread....but that I am not a big fan of!</div><div> </div><div></div><div></div><div>Can you tell I am bored. I love Zucchini...keep it coming Kathy!</div>Kristenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14217581854751383970noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3087783274091377806.post-4282938021638707692009-07-31T13:44:00.000-07:002009-07-31T13:58:08.671-07:00Summer...bummer?We have hardly done ANYTHING this summer! I feel so lazy. The only thing I have done, is waste gas driving back and forth from classes in Lehi and doctor's appointments. I am trying to get all that stuff done since it's almost impossible to do once school is in! We have had fun swimming and playing outside. Here is Paige at the pool. She is CRAZY in the water. She is not afraid of anything. I ended up swimming with her and we had lots of fun!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxHVLEdOwKigap8plKnQsXgh6iyI_0e2xmq9KYodsk-fzr9Tkcsg6QCqn3r9olq6s6E27Hohnt3xnSgapeY2T_kovKWeDR22Pgt-o1wJFb3rifIaCRCIaRRZ0GCbbOEePX0jJgpUy1-WE/s1600-h/pool+003.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 150px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364730010838737394" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxHVLEdOwKigap8plKnQsXgh6iyI_0e2xmq9KYodsk-fzr9Tkcsg6QCqn3r9olq6s6E27Hohnt3xnSgapeY2T_kovKWeDR22Pgt-o1wJFb3rifIaCRCIaRRZ0GCbbOEePX0jJgpUy1-WE/s200/pool+003.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhABG1yc41vsvNTzdhnGNsEinQi4nAvxiJ0fEYI2WH6AW7_AoSgWIFwUP94v1AVVY6Mucy1dWKqjz3C_LVfvmcv1yLCwuknp_YUj78y5GZG8-lR-PaiMBfgtjds-7k10PPoriQg6RrkWe4/s1600-h/pool+004.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364729556209660786" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhABG1yc41vsvNTzdhnGNsEinQi4nAvxiJ0fEYI2WH6AW7_AoSgWIFwUP94v1AVVY6Mucy1dWKqjz3C_LVfvmcv1yLCwuknp_YUj78y5GZG8-lR-PaiMBfgtjds-7k10PPoriQg6RrkWe4/s200/pool+004.JPG" /></a> Today was the last day of Ashlyn's golf camp. She was the only girl on her team, so she won alot of balls and a really cool watch. She was the "best girl MVP" and got a cool pair of binoculars. Here she is waiting for the BBQ and awards to start. They had yucky hamburgers. I just ate the Doritos. My other kids had fun though...they love free food!<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPgOpQjJvLmYvAfLzjqhSSHPKYgUKRpYFksy1hktFLxgq0zg-W04O47v_nVUxGiQkgOhUnbh0nBiBRO4ydM5aBUxCXQRXjANMT5gwH8Fjj_4CVPy2yDSJuZstdUPx4WI8YDOkB1aP-4JE/s1600-h/pool+009.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 150px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364728988595644354" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPgOpQjJvLmYvAfLzjqhSSHPKYgUKRpYFksy1hktFLxgq0zg-W04O47v_nVUxGiQkgOhUnbh0nBiBRO4ydM5aBUxCXQRXjANMT5gwH8Fjj_4CVPy2yDSJuZstdUPx4WI8YDOkB1aP-4JE/s200/pool+009.JPG" /></a> Here is Ashlyn with her instructor, Tim.

You guessed it. It's the cute little kitten, Lillers. I call him "Lillers the Killer". He is always instagating situations and kicking KitKat out of his food and water. They constantly wrestle. It is quite entertaining at times. This cat can jump 3 feet into the air too!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEim_b_xBLDqnBXG1mSGsUYPlaJ7cdTM3rSfPtxWHZ31g_8PxeXxS5oGzEPzYwlJqAnIrieGIv0_Uce-OIIZjGy8q-fIhcHZ-k06SS2JAwjlXM2n7cZcdqSHY3pgYPElUBvg2UfW3JhIxDQ/s1600-h/meow+001.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 315px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 242px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363647134299931346" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEim_b_xBLDqnBXG1mSGsUYPlaJ7cdTM3rSfPtxWHZ31g_8PxeXxS5oGzEPzYwlJqAnIrieGIv0_Uce-OIIZjGy8q-fIhcHZ-k06SS2JAwjlXM2n7cZcdqSHY3pgYPElUBvg2UfW3JhIxDQ/s200/meow+001.JPG" /></a><br /><div></div>Kristenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14217581854751383970noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3087783274091377806.post-53270166336665346282009-07-27T09:00:00.000-07:002009-07-27T09:12:03.606-07:00This is for you Kathy!This year I thought it would be fun to see if I could grow anything. I definately need to make a bigger garden next year, but I was testing out my green thumb. I planted a tomato plant because Paigey loves tomatoes. This has got to be the biggest plant I have ever seen. You would think with the size of it that Pace Salsa would be contacting me for some tomatoes. NO! On this BIG HUGE PLANT there are only a couple of tomatoes and they have been green forever! My neighbors is HALF THE SIZE and has TONS of red delicious tomatoes. Can someone tell me what I have done wrong? Ashlyn planted carrots. I don't think those will make it to full size since the girls keep eating them. We grew sweet peas and those are scarce. What ones do sprout are quickly eaten. Then, I planted a yellow squash. The plant is small and lame and just now I noticed a tiny little squash growing. I am hoping that next year Rob will make me a spot in the back yard to do a garden and maybe I will be able to be more successful!<br /> (click on picture to see how big)<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrHHB7Eu4fR1X337MnAdmWOX4gC3usew692sCxHM6ASJ62UzCQtIuaEoNvV42j-rvbHHexU1kHPrdIRyJ2t3XWk8nPrUApIOU0zjgFDYeHjw2rwuOXlVDSg03tcnT3tGxGRlo5b276n-4/s1600-h/tomatoe+001.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 261px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 263px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363172236142219410" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrHHB7Eu4fR1X337MnAdmWOX4gC3usew692sCxHM6ASJ62UzCQtIuaEoNvV42j-rvbHHexU1kHPrdIRyJ2t3XWk8nPrUApIOU0zjgFDYeHjw2rwuOXlVDSg03tcnT3tGxGRlo5b276n-4/s200/tomatoe+001.JPG" /></a> The HUGE tomato plant...with nothing to show for!Kristenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14217581854751383970noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3087783274091377806.post-67639712182647544602009-07-26T19:14:00.000-07:002009-07-26T19:45:52.964-07:00Scout Camp and WyomingWe have been very busy. Last week Ethan had scout camp for 2 days. He had a lot of fun. He said that he built more confidence in himself for which I am proud of him. I am always proud of him. But he was trying things outside his comfort zone which was huge for him. Ethan always looks at everything analytically and thinks about the outcome of what could happen...should something go wrong. I love that about him but it makes it so he doesn't try very many things. On Friday, Pioneer Day, we went to Wyoming for a family get together. It was fun. As always, it is always awkward between some of the cousins and by the time it is time to leave, they are getting along great! Go figure. We did fireworks since you can do them all the time up there and Rob had a blast doing the kind you only see at shows here in Utah! And, Ethan got to ride a horse all by himself! All in all...it was a great weekend!<br /><br /><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" bgcolor="#ffffff"><tr><td><a href="http://smilebox.com/play/4d5441314e6a6b354d544d3d0d0a&blogview=true&campaign=blog_playback_link" target="_blank"><img width="386" height="303" alt="Click to play this Smilebox photobook: Pioneer Wknd" src="http://smilebox.com/snap/4d5441314e6a6b354d544d3d0d0a.jpg" style="border: medium none ;"/></a></td></tr><tr><td><a href="http://www.smilebox.com/?partner=smilebox&campaign=blog_snapshot" target="_blank"><img width="386" height="46" alt="Create your own photobook - Powered by Smilebox" src="http://www.smilebox.com/globalImages/blogInstructions/blogLogoSmileboxSmall.gif" style="border: medium none ;"/></a></td></tr><tr><td align="center"><a href="http://www.smilebox.com/photobooks" target="_blank">Make a Smilebox photobook</a></td></tr></table>Kristenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14217581854751383970noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3087783274091377806.post-75133157166740816772009-07-20T15:37:00.000-07:002009-07-20T16:01:06.960-07:00Chef EthanToday I let Ethan make some cupcakes by himself.

It definately feels much more reverent w/o babies crying, people talking loud, being boisterous, murmuring...yes...murmuring. It never stops. Why even go huh? Anyways, nice to be in the Temple with my kids.
