I'm going to be on TV!


Today I was watching KSL 5 at 11:00 and they said to submit your favorite chocolate recipe. So I submitted my favorite homemade chocolate pudding recipe:
Chocolate Pudding

¼ C. sugar 2 C. milk (I like to use evaporated)
¼ tsp. salt 2 egg yolks, beaten
2 Tbsp. cornstarch 2 Tbsp. butter
1 Tbsp. flour 1 tsp. vanilla
2 Tbsp. cocoa

Mix sugar, salt, cornstarch, flour, and cocoa in a pot. Turn the heat on to medium heat and stir in milk and eggs with a whisk. Boil 2 minutes or until thick consistency. Stir constantly. Remove from heat. Stir in butter and vanilla. Cool. Can serve warm or cold. I like to top with whip cream. Yummy! This is a family favorite. We have it at least once a month.

I got a call today and they told me I will be on TV tomorrow (Feb 4th) at 11:30 on channel 5. I am excited. I have been on TV a few times in my life. One time when we were on Family Focus on Channel 2 in the early 90's and also when I was in elementary school to do this poem about clouds or something. I'm nervous I will say the wrong thing or something. But, watch and you will hear my voice and see my pic.

Time away












On Friday Wes and I went on a little excursion without the kids. Wes's mom came and watched them. She is so good with the kids.
We started off by going to the temple. Which was so nice to go together. With Lilly still being so young we usually just go individually.
Then we went to the Solomon center in Ogden. (Each thing we did was a surprise to Wes). We flew at the Ifly place. We got lunch next at the Sanora Grill across the street. Then we rock climbed. I got higher than Wes got so I'm pretty proud of that. It's a lot harder than it looks. We had done a bit before, but not much. Then we checked in Early to the Alaskan in up Ogden canyon. They are these little individual cabins. We had a blast! They had a complimentary sparkling cider and cookies that we ate right when we got there. Then we waited a bit and had a Limo pick us up and take us to dinner at the Timbermine Steak and Seafood. Their steaks were the best I have ever had,yum! Then we drove around a little bit more in the Limo, it was nice to talk and just be together. Then we went back to our cabin and watched a movie and vegged. It was hard to get back to reality on Saturday, but we missed our kids and it was good to see them again. (We don't get out much, can you tell?) I recommend this date to everyone. We had such a great time.

This was sooo fun! I recommend it to anyone. It was bonding and a blast.

Get a room kitties

Our kitties are so funny to watch. Some days they are a little bit more affectionate than others. This day they were all over each other.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle





Those of you who know me know that I'm pretty frugal.The other day I re taped our laundry basket and sewed some sock holes. Is that called darning socks? I don't know. I usually just throw holy socks away, but I'm trying to be better about reusing things.
