valentine's day

So I wondered why I didn't hear the babies wake up crying this morning.. and why Dallin & Ella were having so much fun together giggling on the other side of the house. Well I should have known the two rarities would be tied together somehow. All four kids in a crib, quite a sight! Now if I could just teach them to change & feed the babies after they've woken them up and entertained them, we'd be in luck! These were the little Valentine's I took to some of my friends. They are white chocolate oreo truffles (so easy but so evil). But then I decided they needed cute little personalized boxes to go in. It was one of those projects that you know going into it that it's not worth the time you are about to invest... but you do it anyway. It was kind of like a challenge though.. just to see if I could actually materialize what I had in my mind...centering the graphics just right so when I folded the box everything would be lined up... ok, I'm a bit compulsive but....

not so much when it came to this. So they look pretty scary.. but Dallin & Ella seemed to think they were the best Valentine cupcakes ever... so good, in fact, that they devoured them and didn't even mind that they were actually meat loaf frosted with mashed potatoes & sprinkled with peas. yummmm.
The night ended with red ice cream cones! Good idea Troy!

valentine's day

I know it's been 9 months since my last post... I could have had another baby in that time! (with my track record, I'm surprised I didn't!) But this year I would like to be better at journaling our family's escapades... starting today.

The kids were so coordinating I thought that would merit a photo shoot.

Note to self... it doesn't matter how cute they look.. photo shoots where you are out-numbered 4 to 1 is never a good idea. BUT... I have a memory of today on my blog.. thus I am able to check something off my list.

Now I am off to deliver Valentines!
