Mmmm... Eggggggsssssss

So, this weekend was Easter.  Though I did get this Idea from an E-mail that was sent to me, I just thought that it was so funny... and the kids had to agree that my morbid sense of humor was quite the riot on Saturday.  So, before Dying eggs on Saturday, this is what happened.  The story behind it really is simple.  The poor cracked egg couldn't be boiled - so I figured that I would set up a scene with him instead... 

Then the two evil counterparts got boiled along with their buddies... BWAHAHAAAAA!!!

Then, they got dunked into the vat of Acid - Isn't that how all super villains are made anyway?

ALAS!  The final product - the Green Hulk Egg and the "I'm so blue!!" Egg.  

Oh... and the kids did have fun too. I promise!! I'll have to post some of their Egg dying adventures in a little while.  I just wanted to share something other than Soccer Pictures. 

Skateboard King

So, during Christmastime, Darrell got a skateboard.  He was so worried that he would never ever be able to ride it because there was just TOO much Snow. Now that it's warming up (hahaha, considering it snowed yesterday again) Well, anyway, he's been out and about trying out the board.  

He already knows how to walk it in a circle and stuff - it's really pretty neat, considering when I get on it - well, it doesn't move very well.  (Or I just fall off entirely).  

You GO Hank Smith From Utah!!

We all love inspirational stuff - we, as L.D.S. people also love for our children to learn how to look inward, and behave in a manner that would be pleasing to the Lord.  Well, Hank Smith is a E.F.Y. speaker, a seminary teacher, an RM, and many other things.  He's also very funny and has put out several CD's with his talks.

The talks are mainly meant for teens and youth - we originally got them for Kennedy, but decided that we would listen to them with all of the kids around. Darrell, it turns out, LOVES Hank Smith and his talks.  He has 2 of the CD's memorized at this point.  So, naturally, when Hank was coming to Celebrating Sisterhood at Rick's store, we decided that we would take the kids down there to meet him. 

It was a GREAT Experience - Darrell was simply enthralled with Hank.  Darrell even Quoted Hank's own CD to him.  As we were leaving Darrell said "Mom! He's just so AWESOME!!" - I would have to agree with Darrell on that one.  Hank Smith is - well - SO AWESOME.  And though he may never read it, I would tell him Thank You for having these great, inspiring talks for Youth.  I would also recommend that if you have teens, or even Tweens - these cd's and talks are Fantastic!!

If you want to ever look them up - they are:

Be Who You Are (His most recent one)
Thou Shalt Be Nice

Real Life

He has 2 more coming out between now and February of next year - we can't wait!

Soccer Season has Begun!!

There he is... a LONE player... against three defenders!!  I just wanted to share.  I have some other awesome pictures but I keep finding that I post soccer pictures an AWFUL Lot... but then again... I love soccer, and I love that he loves soccer... and he's VERY , VERY good at the soccer.

WHAT!

It's my Blob

I will post what I want so neener neener.

I love Jib Jab - Watch as Darrell Tries to Beat the Avalanche!!

F.O.G. Soccer

Soooo - I almost witnessed a fight last night....  OK - no not really... but if Rick was about 15 years younger, it could have gone that route.  I even heard the phrase, "Bring it" slip from his mouth at the other player who was egging him on...

That's Right - I watch the F.O.G. play last night.  (That's the acronym for Fat Old Guys - but whose counting).  Anyway, here are some pictures from that lovely game.  I think that the most irritating part about the whole thing was that my camera lens kept focusing on the net instead of the stuff THROUGH The net... next time I will just have to get closer....

Tim played last night too... See Tim in all of his worn out foggy glory?  That's right...He would have been right there with Rick - he would have taken down the other team. Sadly, though, the F.O.G. didn't win - they were just outnumbered and winded.  They didn't have the kind of subs that the needed to have to play without dying in the second half.  If they had, they totally would have won - Oh well, there is always the next game... right?
