GREAT Chicken Event!

I know that's a strange post title, but I've heard amazing things about this company & I wanted to let you all know about it.

.
Zaycon Foods is a company from the Northwest that holds bulk food events around the country. On SATURDAY, MARCH 19 they're having a boneless, skinless chicken event in Marana. This is awesome, because they offer 40 pound orders for $1.61/lb. The meat comes in 10-pound bags & has never been frozen. They recommend prepping the meat before you freeze it- cube some, slice some fajita-style, etc. Apparently the chicken breasts are huge!

.

I've heard nothing but great things about this event, so I'm excited to get some food storage at a great price. I figured us LDS-type folks would want to participate, so here you go!

.

Check the event out here- and even if you're not from Tucson or Phoenix, go ahead & register for an account! If enough people from an area register, they just might bring an event to you!

.

But HURRY! They have a limited quantity & sell out FAST!

Are You Brave Enough? Not Me!

Andrew was randomly perusing the articles from our MSN homepage last night & found an article about 7 crazy American sandwiches.

.

I was going to check my e-mail this morning & the article was still up, so I glanced through it quickly.

.

Holy cow! That sandwich is from Safford!

Go here to be informed (and a little disgusted).

REAL Snow This Time

My kids were so sad when the snow we had a few weeks ago lasted barely 30 minutes. So imagine their unbridled joy when I opened the blinds to show them this yesterday. We got a solid 2 inches! Their screams woke up the 2 remaining sleepy people in the house & I could barely find hats, mittens, & boots fast enough. Jack actually ended up outside in his socks before I could stop him. Who wants to wait for shoes when there's all this SNOW stuff to do?

They gave me a running commentary:

Snow Angel

Snow Swings

Snow Dog

Snow Ball (pun intended)You get the picture. There were also snow bikes & a snow tractor.

What can I say? My kids LOVE snow!

Maybe a little too much?Our dog house.As we played outside, I watched this fog roll down from the Santa Rita Mountains near our house. It was beautiful!We played & played, until it was time to go inside & warm up with some hot chocolate.Until next time, snow!

Shhh- It's a Surprise!

Gentlemen, start your engines!

.

Don't tell the boys, but we have a BIG surprise for them this weekend.

I'm going to be getting them ready all week long- without them even knowing it!

This is today's activity.

FHE's game just might be Monster Truck racing around the living room for everyone in attendance.

I can't wait, & I'm not even going!

What's That?

No, seriously, what is this wonderous structure that you 2 have built?OK. I think I'm starting to get the picture now.

And there it is! Hello baby James! Emma said that this was his cave.
He must've liked it- he stayed in there for 30 minutes.
Until he realized he was in a cave & babies aren't supposed to live in caves.
.
Babies are supposed to be snuggly & adorable in their cute little cribs.
Don't you just want to eat him up?
