another one

In case you haven't seent this little girl yet. I have found some other 'gems' which are SO worthy of sharing but most of those videos have the embedding disabled so I can't share. When I figure out how I can get around that I HAVE to show you a couple.

Spring Soccer

Maggie has been playing soccer this spring and she really seems to enjoy it. She has a great group of girls on her team and with each week they improve. She only has 2 more weeks to go and I think she will really miss it.

Great Grandma's Shortbread

Tomorrow Maggie has her international luncheon at her school. Originally, I was going to make taco soup but she objected. Her words were 'why would I bring that? I DON'T like soup. If I am going to bring something it should be a food I would actually eat." LOL....so she decided that she would like shortbread. I don't have a recipe so she sent and email to Nana asking for great grandmas recipe. It is actully Maggies great-great grandma but it is all the same. {She was born in Ireland and fled to Scotland during the famine and unrest in Ireland at the time}. We made two batches today and it is so yummy!

Britain's Got Talent Week 2

By now I am sure everyone has heard of Susan Boyle from last weeks episode. But you have got the check this kid out!! It looks like the show will be great this year. Of course, there will be the usual delusional people but it is entertaining TV.

Unusual CHIP flavors...

I brought these back from the UK as the I knew the flavors were so OUT there that people would have to see them to believe it. The manufacturer of these chips was running a promotion to pick a new chip flavor. The one that gets the most votes will actually be a part of the flavor line. Cajun Squirrel are you kidding me??

He's 14 Today!

Today is Christopher's 14th birthday! I often forget that he is not older than he really is. He is currently TALLER than me and I am not that short! I really noticed his height yesterday while he and I were walking over to the high school to do something for band. As I was talking to him I found myself having to LOOK UP :-} His cake is ready and his presents are wrapped and he has selected his restaurant of choice for dinner tonight.

Back from the UK

Maggie and I are back from our trip to England. We had a great time and EXCELLENT weather ~ sunny every day and almost 60!! I have pictures to share but will do that later. Andrew had a great time in Salt Lake City snowboarding with Nicholas and Kevin. Poor Kevin got sick on the way out and then some kid, Andrew, ran over his arm while going down the mountain and Kevin needed stitches! They even took in a Utah Jazz game too. Spring break is winding down and back to school and work next week....I cannot believe the school year is almost over ~
