Yummy
For Valentine's day I decided to give Brandon food for his annual present because he loves food so much. Brandon found a delicious cheesecake recipe and I attempted to make it for him. This is the end result. I was actually surprised it turned out since it was such a complex recipe. We enjoyed it so much!
Poor Luke always gets the raw end of the deal. I wish I could tell him that it will get better, but I'm afraid it's going to get a lot worse before it gets better.

Pretzels
Peter and I decided that today should be a baking day. We used a recipe that we recently found in the Friend magazine. This recipe makes some very delicious pretzels. The recipe was also super easy and so much fun! I think this recipe will become a family favorite. Peter thought it was so cool that I made a P just for him. The L is for Luke and the D for Daddy (although Peter told me his real name is Brandon).
The annual theme in Primary this year is Choose the Right. Peter asked me what the letters CTR stood for. When I told him it represents the words Choose the Right he started singing that hymn. It's one of his favorite songs right now. I was impressed with how he made that connection to these letters. It was a happy mommy moment.
Last week in Sharing Time we talked about Noah and the Ark. I drew this ark on my white board (so glad I decided to purchase my own years ago when I was at BYU) and took it to Primary with me. Then I got 12 sets of animals from the Dollar Store and the kids "marched" the animals to the ark. It was pretty fun even though it got super nosy with the Sr. Primary kids.
This week for Sharing Time we will be talking about a few scripture heroes who chose the right. The recommended outline said to give each child these and let them color them. Well, instead I decided to make paper bag puppets for each child in our ward (130 kids). I'm hoping it won't get too crazy when each child holds up their puppet as I tell them a story. Thank goodness for a wonderful older sister who came last night and spent 2 hours taping the heads and bodies onto the bags.
Finally, this is Luke showing off his new onesie that my Mom got him for his b-day. I love this brand of onesies (Babies-R-Us) and I'm so excited to have him in something new. Luke loves these toys (teddy bear and Tigger baby). This kid would play around the house all day long without my supervision if I let him. It really is so nice to have a baby that enjoys entertaining himself.

Lots of Playdough
Peter and I have been playing with this stuff almost everyday while Luke is taking his nap. Peter's favorite thing to do is make a mask for his face. LOL, this kid is so funny!
