Happy Birthday Calton Girls!

My cute cousins Abby and Autumn are celebrating their birthdays this week. Abby turned 13 on the 24th, and Autumn will be 8 on the 27th. On Wednesday, we went to dinner at the Timbermine to celebrate. It was delicious! They are both darling girls, and I am lucky to live so close to them.

GO JAZZ!!!

It is playoff time, and we are now focusing our lives around the next big Jazz game. It is apparently very important for Brandon to not miss a single minute of any Jazz game. Unfortunately, I do not share his enthusiasm and love for Jazz basketball, but I am always up for getting together with our friends. Meeting up to watch the Jazz has become our latest hobby. We had some of our friends over tonight for dinner and the big game. It is always nice for the girls to catch up and the guys to scream at the TV during the game...Everyone ends up having a great time! We are lucky to have such good friends. Plus, the Jazz have a 2 game lead in the series, and that is certainly a reason to celebrate!

I made fruit dip to go with dinner tonight, and I thought I'd share the recipe.


FRUIT DIP

1 package Cook & Serve Vanilla Flavored Pudding
1 tub of Cool Whip
1 small carton of Buttermilk

Mix buttermilk and pudding until pudding is dissolved, fold in Cool Whip, chill and serve with your favorite fruit.

FUN in the SUN

Brandon and I spent the weekend in sunny St. George with my family. It was a blast! I took Friday off, and we headed down in the morning. We stopped to pick up Liz in Cedar City. We went straight to Eric's baseball game. It is always so nice to see my family. Plus, I was able to catch up with some old friends at the game. On Saturday, we went to Las Vegas for Eric's baseball games and a little shopping. It was so nice and warm. I miss the warm weather! It just solidified that it is really time for the weather in Northern Utah to hurry up and get hot! On Sunday, we watched conference with my family. It was a very nice day. We jumped back in the car and drove home on Sunday night. It was a quick trip, but it is always worth the drive. I love spending time with my family! Of course, today was totally rainy to remind me how nice it was in St. George :)!

April Fools' Day

Our neighbor, Nicole McKellar, played a pretty funny April Fools' joke on Brandon this morning. In the middle of the night she placed a Real Estate Exchange sign, complete with Brandon's contact info, in front of each house on our street. When Brandon headed out this morning, he was suprised to find every house on the block for sale, especially with his name and number appearing on the for sale signs. He was a little upset, and he has sworn to seek revenge. It was actually quite hilarious to see his immediate reaction. Brandon was a very good sport. Happy April Fools' Day!


A Closer View: Here is a closer look at the signs that graced every house on our street this morning.


Our House: The "Listed" version...everything's for sale, for the right price ;)!
