Erik goes fishing

Erik has been begging to go fishing, so we got him a fishing rod for his birthday.

This was his first fishing trip.

Grasshopper Parfaits

For St. Patrick's day I made a lightened up version of the grasshopper parfaits recipe I found on www.kraftfoods.com.

Here is my version of the recipe.

1/2 cup of fat-free, sugar-free jello pudding - chocolate flavor
2 tbsp cool whip free
a couple drops of green food coloring
2 thin mints, crushed

Mix cool whip free and food coloring until you reach your desired color of green.
Put half of the pudding in the bottom of a pretty class.
Top with half of the cool whip.
Then top with half of the crushed thin mints.
Repeat.


Erik is really ready to eat Grasshopper Parfaits - he was not disappointed.

Here is the finished product.

It's Been a While

I am going to try blogging again. We'll see what happens.

James is 10 1/2 months old and thinks he is such a big man because he can eat Cheerios and cubes banana pieces all by himself.

Erik just turned 4 and thinks he knows everything because he is 4.

Todd now had Type 1 diabetes but handles it like a real pro. The man is outstanding at guestimating how many carbs are in a dish.

I have been in a flare since the fall and am ready to be done with that. But, everytime my steriods get below 20 mg per day I seem to have problems. Still love my doc, though. I got my hair highlighted the other day. It is really different but kind of fun.

We got the boys a membership to the McWayne center for Christmas. It has been fun. We went to the CraneWorks big trucks day. The boys (Erik) got to sit in a backhoe, a front end loader, a police car, a fire truck, and other fun vehicles. Erik loves digging for fossils the best.

That is all for now, I guess.
