Yet Another Cooking FAIL!

Can you guess what this is???

Well, I'll tell you. A couple weeks ago Nic and I went to eat at Tiff and David's for dinner. I offered to bring dessert. Dinner was wonderful! We had Tacos, which are always a hit. Then it was my turn. I decided we would have Fruity Pebbles Treats! They are SOO good, and easy to make (supposedly). So we start with three simple indgredients:

-Butter

-Marshmallows

-Fruity Pebbles

After melting all the butter and marshmallows, I put in eight and a half cups of Fruity Pebbles, and it did not look right at all. After asking for some assisstance, Tiff came to the rescue!!! She did a quick run through of the directions, and found a critical error. The recipe called for eight HALF CUPS, not eight and a half cups. So really it called for four cups of fruity pebbles.... WHAT? Luckily I had an extra bag of marshmallows, and poured pretty much the whole bag in to try and salvage our dessert. It ended up as a multicolored blob which looked a lot like vomit.....BUT still tasted great!

The moral of this story is to follow the directions, even if they are a little ridiculous.

New Toy

If you hadn't noticed we've been posting much more pictures! It's because of my birthday present! It's SO cool! It's shockproof, waterproof, freeze proof....pretty much indestructible. I would definitely recommend this to anyone! It's called the Olympus SW Series Stylus Tough.

Darts and a Shirley Temple

After the River, we all got together again at a little place called Faulkners for a friendly game of darts. So much fun! Nic and I were on a team...I think it's safe to say we're both a little too competitive. Needless to say we didn't win, but we were great sports.

He was dancing to "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" Shake it!

Me, my lovely cousin Ashley, and my new friend Jaimie!

Floating Down the River-Part 2

For the second time this week were were able to float the Comal again! This time we went with my cousin, Ashley, and her fiance Eddie, among more new friends!

Did I mention it was crowded? But Great!

We were all a little dissapointed about the weather. With highs of 95's all week long with not a cloud in sight, we expected the same for floating. Not a chance! It was pretty breezy, cloudy and only got to 80. But with good friends and food... we made it! We've decided to float as much as possible this summer! Any takers?

A Wonderful Suprise

Last weekend I had the most wonderful suprise! Some family friends moved to San Antonio, and were very sneaky about it. They've been in Korea for some time, so I had no idea they were even in the states. They tried to suprise me at church sunday morning, but I just happened to be in another ward for my nephew's blessing. What are the odds?! Anyhow, after a few phone calls and a lot of excitement, we were able to finally meet again after FIFTEEN years!

So we went Dairy Queen after a very yummy dinner...and check out these bathrooms. Yes that's all one room, and no the door didn't lock... Nic had to stand guard for a tick.

Love you Scott and Vickie!!

Floating Down the River

Last Monday we traveled to New Braunfels to float down the Comal River!

Did I mention we have an underwater Camera?

Aidan pretty much spent all of his time in the water.

A Blessing and a Birthday

This past Sunday, we had a blessing for our nephew, Owen
A Birthday! ( ME)

And Papa Jo even did a dance...well sort of... : )
