Let's Have a Look-See

Do you ever wonder what you can do in Southern Idaho for Spring Break? I do. We played at the park. Went to the canyon for a walk. We went to Logan to see the play Scott was working with. We meet him at this park and I was like, "Hey, I have been here before." On to Aggie Ice Cream. Check out the size of this sandwich. Went to the Hot Springs to swim. Stopped at the Fish Hatchery in Hagerman to check out the ducks and take pictures of the weeds. I found some more of these nests. We found two geese on this little walk.   She just likes to touch everything. Made some cookies. Did some kite flying, mine went way up there. Did some sliding, and more sliding. Oh yeah, and picked up Rich from the ER  after he broke his nose at a game. You never know what will happen during Spring Break.

This is by far the most interesting thing I have seen this week. I don't even know how to express my feelings.. wonder...joy...puzzlement? They all apply. (This was being stored, not used) We were in Burley Idaho, watching Rich pitch. He did a great job, by the way, and has 2 W 's this week. It looks like a beautiful day, but it was windy and cold. ---The bathroom was warm--- The second he was done pitching, we left, the score was 11-1. We had a great time and these three little people got to meet each other and play.   It is sad, that you come to Idaho for Spring Break and think it is warm, but, it is the case for these guys.   Praying that the weather warms up  holds and let's get out without the hats and coats.

Scott was home for his Spring Break and I decided we needed a little Idaho Adventure. We went to Box Canyon.  As we started walking out to it, I look up and see 3 eagles sitting on the irrigation pipes. It's as close as I have ever been to an eagle. Here are 2 of them.  They don't like to get their pictures taken. Neither does Scott E. I only walked out to the lookout, but these two went on and went down to the water. I need to go back someday when the sun is shinning on the water. I hung out awhile and then walked  hiked back. Part of this walk was original Oregon Trial. It always amazes me that you can see it. I can't help but wonder what kind of nest this is. We spent today at a double header. They have new  -camo- jerseys. I think they are, well, ridiculous.   We sat through 4 and 1/2 hours to see our boy pitch 1 inning. He did well, and since he is a relief picture, it wi...

I love this time of year. You know, when little bits of green start shooting up. Sure, Winter may not be over, but Spring is winning today.

So, I have had this key ring for a couple a years. I bought it a few years ago when I had 3 kids at BYU . So, as luck would have it, I will 3 at BYU again in the fall. Meet my newest little Zoobie. Callie will have one more semester and Todd will be starting a Master's Program. -- which means Peter will be about 1000 miles closer to his grandmas --- I don't know if it was right, but I sent in Richards housing deposit the day after he got accepted. I fear it may look like I'm in a hurry to get him out of the house.   To be fair, I will look for a Utah State Mom, key ring when we go visit Scott later this month. I love that he is there. He writes for the paper , which I think is so cool. It has been a great experience for him. You also should know that Wes graduated from Fresno State and I went to the not so  famous CSU Stanislaus in the big town of  Turlock, California. It isn't about where you go, It is more about...

My little Richie, had a birthday this week. He has grown. He said he didn't like this picture, but I did, I mean, he did make that face. Sometimes my job makes me smile. I work in special ed. We were making pictures of our friends. Here is my friend Liz....they needed an example. ---Sorry Liz--- This is not bad. She has braces... I often question whether this child is ESL instead of special ed... Come on, I can't be the only one who laughed at this. I have decided he is an 'Impressionist"...   Another one I wonder about .... Not bad.... An Olympic ski suit? Honestly, no one at our school has an orange face. Love the single stray hair on top. This child melts my heart. He has come along way, and it turns out is friends with the orange faced kid. It is hard for my not enjoy these.

The hardest part about lowering my sugar intake is simply, how to make something taste good. I made Valentine Cookies . They tasted great, there was plenty of sugar in them. What can I say? My family isn't interested in lowering their sugar intake. I keep trying to find something good, without all the sugar. It is an uphill battle. I like these , I use honey instead of white sugar and I add coconut. They still have a lot of sugar, but they also have a lot of  -good for you- ingredients in them. They freeze great and if you have one or two a day, it works. The search continues.........
