Food Tales

Cayden is one of the most pickiest eaters I know. So, I am constantly looking for things that he might like. I even rename some food to things he likes. Quesadillas are pizza, anything meat are hot dogs...and so on. I will brag and say that he loves his veggies :)
Anywho, I found some dinosuar chicken nuggets at the store - yes, I know they are processed, but its still protein! So at lunch, I presented him with some macaroni and cheese, peas, and dinosuar chicken nuggets. He ate his peas first, and then I left the room to change Kailees diaper. Upon returning, I found his macoroni spread out and made into a jungle - with all of his little plastic animals neatly placed into his food. I tell you, my son is so creative!
He wouldnt eat the dinosuars because they are toys. He went into a full meltdown when I showed him that they are food by biting the head off of one of his dinsuars....onto other ideas :)

Rather Exciting News

Dave picked up some more work with MTV! They are shooting a movie in Provo and have involved Dave in the lighting. The movie is called American Mall - its like High School Musical but it targets the teenage population. His lighting will be the grand finale of the movie. Its so exciting to watch his career grow. He's so incredibly talented and it's nice to see all of his hard work going in the direction it has been. If you would like to read more about the movie, you can read about it here

Among all of his other projects - the two biggest are of course, the opening of Murray Theater. After the 2 years of planning and preparation, it has finally opened and it is phenomenal! I would really encourage everyone to check out the hypnotist show on Friday nights, its a great opportunity for you all to see what he does in a family friendly environment. The other project is an upcoming music festival in May, Evolution 3D. Its a true festival lasting several days with a variety of music and activities. Its by far, the largest musical event that Daves company has ever spearheaded. I'm really excitied about this one.....and looking for possible sitters so I can attend for a day or two ;)

The greatest gifts in my life

Today made me realize how awesome my kids are! I took on the great adventure of shoveling the foot and a half of snow from our driveway, cursing under my breath as I made it to the four feet of snow that the snow plower piled in front of our driveway. This is no exaggeration - in fact, there may have very well been more. Cayden kept the mood very playful as he threw snowballs at me and kept trying to get me to eat the soot colored snow....he didnt like it, so he wanted to know if I had the same opinion.
Tonight, as I sit here unable to move, its nice to know that Kailee is perfectly content with me just smiling back at her because the very thought of having to get up and do anything more makes me want to sob like a child.

While being a stay at home mommy is by far one of the most difficult tasks I have taken on, its nice to have days like today when I can step outside of the choas and reflect on how truly blessed I am to have great kids! Please remind me of that tomorrow when I feel frazzled from chasing Cayden around with Kailee in one arm and a load of laundry in the other...well, that is, if I am able to move tomorrow!
