When the moon hits your eye...

Last week I decided to let the kids have some fun and make their own pizza for dinner hoping that this way they might have a little motivation to eat. Well, they had a lot of fun making the pizza, but Dad ended up clearing their plates. I never got a shot of their finished pizzas, but they looked really good and tasted amazing! While they were eating, I made a dessert pizza out of a huge sugar cookie, cream cheese frosting, strawberries, blueberries and blackberries and then I dusted it with powdered sugar. It was seriously the best thing ever! The kids were alittle skeptical because "you're not supposed to put fruit on a pizza!". After convincing them to at least try it, they ate everything! They even licked their fingers, their plates, and they probably would have licked eachother's faces if I would have let them, but I do have boundaries! I have the cutest kids ever...

What we've been up to:

I was able to go to Disney's Princesses on Ice with the girls for one of our Christmas presents from Jake and Blake. Raegan and Sarah had so much fun and from the pictures you can see that they had a hard time taking their eyes away from the show! It was magical to watch their excitement!This is Raegan waving at Aurora (her favorite)! We had great seats (11th row) so everything was very 'real' for them. I am even more excited to go to Disneyland in May now and I can't wait to see the girls' reaction! Last week we had a park day with a few girls from high school out at Freestone Park and it was so fun to see all of them after so long. I think there were about 18 kids between 7 moms! We got to feed the ducks...
wait for the train.....

ride on the train...

and the big fianale..... there was a carousel that cost 2 bucks a pop so I paid 50 cents and piled 9 kids on this tiny one!

The kids seemed to have a great time and we saved about $17.50! *pat on the back*

It looks completely safe, right?
Hey, our carousel was full while the other, more expensive one was
running and empty. Who's the business savvy, eco-friendly one now, huh?
Last night was the Cox family Valentines dance and as usual, it was a fun time. I wasn't great about pulling out my camera until the dance was almost over, but I did get this great shot of Jake and Rae during the ballon waltz. (okay, my computer won't upload anymore photos, so I'll try again tomorrow!)
