No pictures?

Where have we been? KC!!! Well, first I went down to Utah to help take care of Brian's cousins while his Aunt and Uncle were crusin' Alaska, but then we departed on our all night drive to KC! We were exhausted by the time we got there, but Landen did awesome since he slept most of the trip! We went out for Ben's High School graduation (Brian's baby brother), and sadly we only took pictures from his graduation! So I'll just have to tell you everything else we did ;)

Our first night there we met up with Brian's dad and stayed at a hotel so that we wouldn't have to drive farther south, plus his stepkids really enjoyed playing in the pool (as did Landen). We also went out to dinner at Oklahoma Joe's. I was quite disappointed! I think after everyone had been talking about how amazing it was, I had my standards set too high. I wish we'd gone to Jackstack! (these are both barbecue places, if you know anything about KC, it's that they're famous for their BBQ and everyone has a very strong opinion of their favorites).

The next day we were SUPPOSED to go to a KC Royal's game, but it rained all day (actually it rained the whole time we were there except for 1 day!), so we went to my brother's house and grilled instead and watched the game on TV. Good thing we didn't go, they lost anyway after having a 4 point lead most of the game...so sad.

Sunday was graduation, so other than going to church and graduation, we didn't do much of else. Monday we went to Ben's senior recital then had his open house with TONS of yummy food than I'm sure they're still trying to eat (35 pounds of pulled pork!). The rest of the time was spent hanging out with family and good friends until we left again for our overnight trip. Sorry this has been such a long post, but to end here are my favorite places to eat that we can't find here in good old Idaho:

1. Jackstack (we have ordered it online)

2. Mr. Goodcents (yummy sub sandwiches)

3. Sheridan's (frozen custard)

4. Panera Bread (nothing compares!)

Yellowstone

We went to Yellowstone last week and only took one picture!

Landen eating the snow on the deck...yes, the snow

(A More Real) Love Story

Very self explanitory!

Gloop

Today, since it was raining pretty much all day, Landen and I decided to make a mess. We made "Gloop". I saw a "recipe" online for it the other day and thought it sounded pretty cool. It totally was! I'm sure many of you have made it before, but I haven't...it was probably more fun for me than Landen. He just kept daintily touching it then wiping it off on his jeans. I think he had more fun helping me stir it in the bowl. What's so cool about it, is that it's liquid looking ("gloopy") when it's just sitting there, but when you try to pick some up in your hands and squeeze it, it becomes hard. Anyway, here's the ingredients for it:

1-2 cups cornstarch
water
food coloring (optional)

Just add the water to get a "gloopy" consistency. So fun!!!

Spring cleaning

In order to get our house ready to put it on the market come January, we have A LOT of yard work to do! So, since today was a beautiful day and most of the snow was melted (again) I went out to attempt trimming my neighbor's bushes that are overflowing over the fence...very annoying (especially since they have thorns). Landen also came out with me and he and BJ had fun playing "fetch" until Landen found something more fun...THE MUD!!! So, I got half of the bushes trimmed before I had to go throw Landen in the tub (and hopefully not have to throw his clothes away)! Here's some pictures of his fun times:

Yummy!

This is how much food I got for less than $30. For those of you in Washington, Utah, Arizona and Idaho, check out Bountiful Baskets here. Totally worth it. (A basket full of that much produce is only $15)

I know how this works!

He thinks he can open the door to go out side just because he got ahold of my keys (he loves being outside!)
