A Bike and a Toilet

Here is the stroller/tricycle that Devri got for her birthday (Thank you GG!). When she gets older you take apart some of the pieces and that's where the whole tricycle part comes in. Anyway, she loves it! I think her favorite part about it is that it is so bright and completely girly! This is the one toy that she refuses to share with Parker!

This next picture made my day! Long story short, I went to check on Parker in the bathroom, wondering what was taking him so long and I discovered.... he was asleep! Bah ha ha ha! You know my son and his ability to fall asleep anywhere... now I really can say ANYWHERE! This takes the cake! I'm still laughing just thinking about it. :)

Pancake Day!

So, this last week we unknowingly had a pancake day!

Regular old pancakes for breakfast. I let Parker pick what color he wanted them to be... and I'm sure you can tell what he picked.

Then, for lunch, we had Tongan pancakes... I have no idea why they are called that. This is one of those meals you end up making when you're running low on groceries. It takes three ingredients: Top Ramen, eggs, and cheese. It's actually really yummy, but I won't pretend that it's healthy! You can dress it up with more stuff, like hot sauce or ham, but we keep it pretty simple here.

The basic directions (skip this paragraph if you couldn't care less): Stick one pack of Ramen in boiling water, but only let it get soft enough to unfold it... you don't want it to fall apart. Then take it out of the water and unfold it onto the frying pan. Pour a mixture of one egg and half a seasoning packet (from the Ramen) down the middle (lengthwise) and then keep the egg from running outside of the ramen. Flip over when cooked on one side, add cheese to one half and fold the other half on top!

Here are a few pics to give you an idea:

It's a family favorite at our house, although I probably couldn't eat it everyday. :)

Jelly Belly Factory!

My family has lived in Folsom for 23 years and somehow we had never been to the Jelly Belly Factory. Our friends, the Cheney's, were in town for a visit so we took all our kids. Here are the pictures. Unfortunately, there is not one of our family because Greg didn't want one... what a kill joy!

Mele, Brian, Audree, and Kiley Cheney

Devri was afraid of the guy who gave her the hairnet!

And randomly, here is a Lego heart that Brandon built. Ha ha!

It's my party and I'll cry if I want to

Devri is one! She had a great party filled with lots of fun and a little drama! The pictures took forever to load so I didn't put them all on... sorry!

The birthday girl!

She LOVED opening presents. Everyone would clap for her and she would get the biggest smile on her face.

Unfortunately, she wasn't too happy when we would take a present away to get her a new one. So much drama! It was hilarious! (I have no idea why this sentence is underlined).

Cake time was also funny. Here she is deciding whether or not she likes frosting on her fingers...

I think we all know what she thought of it now!

We figured out that she loved eating the cake off of my fingers instead of her own, but she eventually gave in and got dirty!
