Haiku: Munkafest Style

Jon has recently renewed his efforts to his Haiku Today blog. Go on over to enjoy a good laugh, or I mean a serene moment with a new Haiku everyday, as he has added audio recording of many Haiku.

Hey?

While driving home on the freeway . . .

Zac: Hey, Mom

Mom: Hey Zac

Zac: Hey Mom

Mom: Hi, Zac

Zac: Hey, Mom

Mom: yeah

Zac: Mom, hey

Mom: Hey, what?

Zac: Hay, Mom (pointing to a truck towing a trailer full of hay bales)

Mom: Oh, yeah, hay! You're right that is hay!

Max playing around

On President's Day we met up with Dave and went to Brick Oven... one of my favorite places :D Then we came home got a babysitter and went to test drive a couple cars... Boy was I surprised when I really liked the inside of the Ford Flex.

I am still trying to warm up to the outside (and I think the white roof is part of what I don't like about the look, it is optional)...but it is soo spacious, and low to the ground (which is nice for me as a short person). It was really nice. Then we drove a Toyota Highlander...which left us wanting.

Anyway then we came back to home and just hung out. Here are some pictures of Max. He is a lot of fun, and likes to just laugh out loud for no reason. He has taken 4-5 steps walking between Jon and I, but he will just not take off on his own or take more than that before dropping to the ground. He likes to point to your nose, and he he knows his eyes too. He loves to take his shoes and socks off if he ever notices they are on. He also likes to put the ball in the hoop. He can actually stand up by himself and put the ball in the hoop. Jon is just spotting him here.

V-Day Treats

These are the Valentines that Zac gave to his preschool class on Thursday. They even have Transformer tattoos!!


So I was checking out this baking blog: Bakerella and I felt totally inspired. She makes "cake balls" and dips them and decorates them. They are really good and cute. So this was my attempt, just at the chocolates not the edible box. Lexie came over and made them with me. We listen to music, talked and had a good time. We also made Valentine's treats last year, perhaps we are making a tradition!

We used white almond bark to do the white...and I complete forgot that you cannot add anything except oil to almond bark...so when I tried to make the white, into pink it setup right away...luckily I had supplies to make royal icing and that worked great!



Jon was in SLC overnight for a work retreat, so I let Zac stay up with me. We didn't go to bed til around 11:30p-he was really good.



Lexie finally got the bow she was working on to look right...we were getting a little loopy by this time.

The final product...please forgive my makeshift box. Its a shoe box with wrapping paper.

These are the beautiful flowers that Jon got me for Valentine's Day! Thanks Hon!

Three-year-old skills

I guess I should get him some lacing cards?

While we were gone:

My sister Rachel watched the boys while we went to Midway and she posted a few (less than 60 sec.) videos of the boys on her blog:
