Busy Busy Busy

We're still so busy so I've been too busy to blog.  So... catching up again.
On November 22 we celebrated Start Your Own Country Day.  Jr. was making up countries throughout the day.  We had ancestor pancakes to eat.

On November 23 we celebrated Thanksgiving.  What blessings we have.

That's all I'm going to catch up with right now.

Thank you, Google

Nichole requested ancestor pancakes for breakfast one morning.  Jeremy was happy to make them.  He went to look up the recipe on the internet then came to me laughing.  He forgot they were actually called German pancakes so instead of typing "German pancakes" on the Google search, he typed "ancestor pancakes."
Guess what the top listing for ancestor pancakes is.
That's right.  This blog.  Ha Ha Ha Ha.

Dinosaur Day 2012

When Jeremy got home from taking Nichole to school, we revealed to each other that we had the exact same thought.  To celebrate Dinosaur Day, May 15th, we wanted to go down to the Paleontology Museum at BYU.
It never happened.  It was one of those days.  Instead we went to Nielson's Grove in Orem.  We spent most of time watching the little ducklings in the pond. 

They were soooooo cute.  Jeremy took A LOT of pictures.

The boys played on the playground a little.

This evening for Family Home Evening we went to another park.  Heritage Park in Cedar Hills.  I wanted a park with shade.  That one has it.  It was so relaxing to listen to the stream and watch my sweet family.  We even played Pooh Sticks.

We finished the night with our FHE treat of Sweet Dutch Baby, a recipe from the April 2012 issue of FamilyFun Magazine.

We explained to the kids that they were basically Ancestor Pancakes with apples in them.

We finally got some dinosaur themed activities in- reading dinosaur themed books.

I read "How Do Dinosaurs Say Good Night?" by Jane Yolen & Mark Teague to the kids before bed.

It was a good family day.
