ALL BOY CONT.


Troy's first day of Primary, he was so excited to be a big boy and to have scriptures.

Big brother showing him how it's done.





Troy and his weapons.(pardon the lack of clothes, this is pretty clean though, believe me I have posted worse pics!)

Troy's work. He loves his army guys. He is so easy to please. This is the first time he has ever requested a picture taken.

Troy being Troy. We sure love our Troy boy!

Many Thanks

Thank you everyone who helped me find the yummy recipe I appreciate it. Sister Barkdull was kind enough to give me the recipe and it was easy and yummy to make.
She also said I could post it for all you who would like it as well. So here it is.

Ingredients:
4 Tablespoon or 6 of slivered almonds
4 Tablespoon of sesame seeds
4 packages of ORIENTAL flavor ramen soup
1 medium cabbage

Put almonds and seeds and the 4 of the ramen noodles(crushed) on a cookie sheet and bake at 350 for 10 minutes. Take out and cool. Chop your cabbage in bite size pieces, use everything around the core. Save 3 of your soup seasonings.

Dressing:
3 Tablespoon soy sauce
5 Tablespoon sugar
3 of the soup seasoning packages
1 teaspoon pepper
2 Tablespoon of white vinegar
1 cup of canola oil

Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix away until well incorporated. Put in fridge to chill for a bit. Then when ready combine all ingredients about 1 or 1/2 hour before salad needs to be served and keep in fridge. Make sure to stir so dressing does not stay in bottom of bowl. Enjoy.

ALL BOY

So lately I've found myself thinking about all these cool Troy quotes, and I literally could write and entire blog on it, or a book. The boy is hilarious, and he always, always has something to say. I do feel bad for his preschool and primary teachers, but I bet they could write their very own Troy book. And here we go my 20 favorite ones starting off with the best down to the worst.



1. Me: Troy you look like my cute little missionary.

Troy: I look like a missionary mom? Mom, your the best mom ever!!!



2. Your the winner Mom, your the winner, winner chicken dinner!



3. Your the pretties Mom ever.



4. Mom, I like you too.



5. I have a brother named Brecken.



6. Papi and I are buddies, he's my buddy and I'm he's buddy.



7. But I like to eat my mocos. (mocos=buggers)



8. I want to get in your bed to get nice and toasty with you mom.



9. I will go and I will do Mom.



10. I 'm trying to be good and a good helper, because I'm in primary now.



11. You can take some one's stuff if they take yours, like if they take my truck I just take theirs because it's not fair.



12. The ninja turtles and the hulk are green because they ate a lot of spinach, but they're strong like this, (he flexes)



13. Mom look, my poopy looks long like a shark.



14. I'm Nephi.



15. I'm a Lamanite.

16. Mama Llama red pajama.

17. I don't want to hear you talk anymore, it hurts my ears.

18. Troy: "I like the boy in my primary class"
Me: Oh, that's good which boy, do you know his mane?"
Troy: "Yeah, the boy teacher"
Me: Oh, that's great, he's very nice. (Mind you his teachers are an older couple, I'm sure he would be glad to know he was refered to as a "boy")

19. I'm gonna tell papi on you. (referring to me, my response is go ahead, I know I should not say things like this because in no time he will be telling me go ahead himself, but I can't help myself.)

20. Worse mom. (this is my favorite because it's never Your the worse mom, it's only worse mom, he could call me all sorts of names that I've heard other children call their mom but he doesn't and I can live with this for now.)


The #1 reason why this poor post has been sitting here for ever is lack of pictures, I have not gotten that far with the new camera, so next post I promise all Troy boy pics.

Gone so soon

I wish we had Christmas every day, or for every holiday instead. (Karina)


Christmas party, these guys loved seeing a "fat" Santa. Karina was a bit concerned the Santa at her school was skinny! She even said he might not be the real Santa. I have come to the conclusion that our kids may know he is not real, but they will never want to admit it, which is fine with me.

Two things I do want to stop doing. One, never put the reindeer food right outside your front door, because it will be inside your house in no time. Two, is I wish Santa wouldn't be so darn picky about what kind of cookies he would like to have left behind. Grant told the kids Santa would not leave presents for them if they did not make sugar cookies for him to eat, this after I had told them we were going to leave choc. chip cookies this year, to change things up a bit. But that quickly changed. So maybe next year Grant should be helping us make all those cookies for "Santa", was my only response to that.
Our version of can you find waldo?? (or Tosh)
This guy Loved this one present in particular, he would not get off the horse, in fact if the only way we could make him open presents was while he was on the horse. This is all he did Christmas day no joke and the day after. It was SO darn cute.

Ballet

This last Monday was Karina's little dance recital. It was very cute and it only lasted about one hour. They have their real cute and elaborate recital in June. But here we got to see some somethings they practice in class and a cute little routine to go with it.
How would you like to be able to do this?
Our little Karina has come along ways from when she started at 22 months where she just stared at the teacher and stood around while the other girls dance and twirled around her. Now she loves it and would like to give Irish dance a try.
