Catch up

Ok, so we haven't posted in a while. Here's the short version. Chandler got asked to the Sadie Hawkins dance. Diane brought him some balloons and some cheesecake which she had made herself (it was delicious). In some of the balloons were puzzle pieces that we had to piece together but it didn't say who the invitation was from. Then as we were eating the cheesecake (I'll never tell who ate most of it), there was a message inside it which let Chandler know who the invitation was from. Then Chandler answered her by having his mom make some delicious cupcakes with frosting waves.
Oh, and swimming fish.

Their group went to a rodeo for their day date. Chandler certainly looked the part. Ride 'em cowboy!
Then, that night, they were running late for dinner and Dan and I had left for stake conference. So we told Hanna to not let them leave without a picture. So Chandler ran out the door when Diane got there but Hanna managed to get one picture.
Last weekend we planted a garden. We were too late to plant seeds so we planted plants. Don't be jealous, we have no idea what we are doing.
Hanna found a recipe for this jello and thought it would be fun, and it was.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Those of you who know me know that I am so festive, ha ha. We couldn't have St. Patrick's Day without green eggs and biscuits with green gravy, yum! Everyone thought it was kind of weird, no wonder we usually ignore holidays.
Andria refused to touch any of it and instead had leftover pasta. At least her bowl and cup were green.

Helping Hanna =)

Hanna is trying to earn money this week (Spring Break) to help pay for girls camp and EFY. She is an excellent helper and has already cleaned everything we are able to pay her for at our house. She is willing to:

clean out the fridge
scrub bathrooms
mop floors
organize closets, shelves or rooms
dust
fold laundry
entertain children
fix dinner
or almost anything else you can think of.
Please call if you have some work for her and she will run right over :)

PS Hanna is a genius at getting children to participate in the cleaning.

Preschool Zoo Day

On Monday, Zanya and I went to the zoo with Samantha's preschool. We had such a great time! Miss Peggy teaches the kids all about the animals before we go so that the kids can teach the parents while we are there. The day was perfect with nice weather and active animals. It was a perfect zoo day! Here the kids are singing "Zola the Zebra" after we ate lunch.
