Some randoms

Today in our new ward, the bishop read all our names to welcome us. He read each of our full names- first, middle, and last. Mike and I both felt like we were standing forever and it was one of those moments when it hits us--wow, we have four children! I'll take the four kiddos, especially today. I thought they did very well during sacrament meeting.

On the way home from church Tanner was getting antsy and wanted out "right right now!" That's his phrase he uses when getting impatient. Mike jokingly said, "How 'bout loosing the attitude, Tanner." Then Andrew said, "Tanner, lose the appetite and go eat a poisoned leaf." We all started laughing. Where does he get these things?

Lastly, since moving here I've been stocking a totally empty kitchen. Well, not completely stocking since we're here just for the summer, mainly just necessary foods for three months. Starting from scratch on a kitchen makes me realize what we really eat. So, is it any surprise that we've gone through butter, sugar, flour, eggs, vanilla, and chocolate chips? I realize we've been here not quite three weeks and I've made:

chocolate chip cookies

frosted double chocolate cookies

magnificent mint brownies

banana bread

oatmeal raisin cookies

At least I can honestly say that we've also gone through just as much spinach, romaine, peppers, cucumbers, carrots, etc. Happy summer eating!
