Aprils Fools!


Eric's grandma's favorite holiday is April Fools day. You can tell where he gets his sense of humor. Anyway, he didn't pull any tricks on me, but I made a fun little April Fools dinner.

"Jello" drinks, a spaghetti torte, (it was supposed to look like a cake, but didn't really. It tasted delicious though, as you can see in all of the Jack pictures he couldn't get enough of it.) "chips" made out of pita bread and guacamole made out of peas! It was actually a delicious dinner, and I want to repeat it sometime even without it being April Fools Day. You really have to try out some of these recipes, especially the pea guacamole. You really won't be able to tell it's made out of peas, and you'll probably eat almost the whole thing yourself before you can share it with anyone- it's that good!

The April Fools Recipes:

Peamockamole recipe (I didn't add the red pepper flakes and it still tasted great!)
Spaghetti Torte (I didn't have a springform pan so I used a regular cake pan and put foil in it, and sprayed it with Pam. It worked great!)
Jello drinks (make jello and chill it in the cups you want to serve it in)
Pita chips- cut up pitas into triangles, brush olive oil on top and bottom, sprinkle with garlic salt and any other seasoning you want your chips to taste like.

I am way excited to try the peamockamole (or whatever you called it), sounds like a great way to cut calories : ) Thanks for the idea!

How fun! I had a mock sushi recipe I wanted to make, but spent the day throwing up... oh, well- maybe next year! Those recipes look like a blast- very cool you took the time to make them.

That last picture of Jack makes him look like he has a goatee! Growing up too fast! I'm anxious to try the "mockamole" too.

Those pics of Jack are hilarious. He is such a cute boy. Good for you for doing something for April Fools. I have pulled some stunts on Jeremy in the past, but completely forgot it was the 1st until about 5 in the afternoon. Your meal looks great.

Wow, I haven't seen you in... Geez, about four years? Your little boy is super cute! Did you and Eric move back to Salt Lake, or are you living in Idaho? I haven't talked to you since your wedding reception!

"Hello new world," says Avey.

Well well here we are. A long road of pregnancy, a long way from home, and a VERY short labor everything came out perfectly (pardon the pun). At 12:01 a.m. on December 8, 2009 Avey _____* Stevenson was born. She weighs 9 pounds, 2.2 Ounces and measures 21 cm in length. She has red hair (arguably strawberry blond), dark blue eyes, chubby cheeks, and a fabulously pleasant disposition. *We are still torn about the middle name. The competing middle names are JoAnna, Kristine, or Anne. This was a miracle in timing. I guess that means that Avey will be a punctual person throughout her life. Brooke called me (Eric) on the way home from picking up Sharon (Brooke's mom) from the airport stating contractions were coming every 4 minutes. We hadn't even gotten to our house when she called with "the voice" that told us to hurry up 'cause the baby is coming. That was a little after 10:30. We rushed her to the hospital down the road, I dropped Jack off at the neighbors house, an...

News Flash!

This is an 11 week ultrasound, and looks close to what my ultrasound looked like, I just can't find where my original went. Oh well, so is the sad life of a second child. Yes! It is true! I am 11 weeks pregnant! I was supposed to be 12 weeks pregnant today, but when my doctor measured the size of the baby it was a week smaller than 12 weeks, even when he did it twice. So rather than my due date being December 1st, it has gotten pushed back to December 8th. I get to be 11 weeks along for two weeks! Awesome! It's really not that bad, and I normally wouldn't wouldn't tell anyone until at least 12 weeks, but the doctor found a heartbeat, and says everything looks healthy and good to go, so I don't want to wait to tell people anymore! (Besides I "technically" waited until I was 12 weeks. :) For those that are dying to know I have definitely felt better than I did with Jack. I haven't taken any medicine to help with the nausea- and that could be ...

Another Grocery Craze!

After going to Albertsons this morning (6:15 AM- don't you worry, long story) and bringing in all the groceries from the car, Eric requested that I take pictures of everything and the receipts. So per request of him, this post is here. Here's all the stuff with Jack in the middle (Well almost all of it, Eric took a bunch of it to work today before I took this picture.) Don't worry, Jack wasn't part of the groceries I bought. All-in-all I got: 17 boxes of cereal 4 bottles of Pantene Pro-V 3 packages of Pampers Diapers 2 Fiber One Pancake Mixes 3 Bisquick mixes 1 Toaster Streudel (I loved those in middle school after going to the temple and having breakfast with friends) 2 Dawn dish washing liquids (28 oz each) 2 things of Tide (64 loads each) 3 BC pre-made frosting 2 Fiber One Toaster Pastries 8 Pack of Bounty Giant Paper Towels 2 boxes of Gushers 2 boxes Gogurt 2 packages butter 1 Malt O meal cereal 1 32 oz block of cheese Total without coupons: $233....
