Sunday Fun Day!!!

We like to take the kids to the pool as often as possible because they are given homework at their swim class. This week Austin had to practice extending his arms and Colin had to get more comfortable with floating on his back.

We didn't make them work too hard though :) We still managed to fit some fun into the afternoon!

As you can see by the pictures, Colin is a little more inclined to say cheese for the camera. Austin was too busy trying to drag us to lazy river.

My Little Leonardos :)

Happy Valentines Day!

The boys woke up this morning with big smiles :) Why wouldn't they??? They woke up to big balloons and big suckers!






The weather is surreal! Our front yard has a foot and a half of snow and it's 65 degrees outside!

Here is some of the neighborhood crew! Thomas, Tanner, Austin and Colin :) We are missing about 7 kiddos in this pic!

Grandma Ellsworth celebrates her Birthday on Valentines Day so I wanted to prepare a special dinner. Grandma was giving me a hard time saying that I couldn't "really cook" because I always prepare Dream Dinners for our meals. I challenged her to pick any meal, and I would prepare it. She chose Chicken Fricassee and Wild Mushroom Risotto (BTW, I have never even heard of fricassee). I made both from scratch!

Here we are about 3 hours into the preparation of the meal... Looking good! (BTW, if you'd ever like to prepare this meal yourself, I would highly recommend having an 8 burner stove :)

And Voila!!! Dinner is served!! I have to hand it to myself, the final product was incredible!!! I did have a little help with chopping and stirring, but the remainder of the meal was prepared by yours truly :) And Grandma had to admit at the beginning of the meal that...

I can cook!!!!!

Yes, you read it correctly... Linda Ellsworth admitted that her daughter, Heather Ellsworth, can cook!!!!!
