The Flu has arrived:(

On Wednesday Meghan went to a fancy restaurant down south in Salt Lake City and by early evening was really sick. Well, we all thought she had food poisoning of course. But alas, I do believe it was the FLU:( I think this because Mike now has the same thing. I was really looking forward to a nice evening and BAM!! I come home to the sick house. Oh well, maybe another time. I just hope I don't get this, it is soooooo not fun:(

Bardin Family Dinner

Every Sunday we get together for a family dinner. This Sunday, Meghan cooked dinner for the family. She is taking a Foods class and it was an assignment. She did a very good job cooking Fettuccini Alfredo and Regrigerator Rolls. We added some Ravioli, because there were a lot of us eating. We had a great time with great food! Thanks Meghan!!

Mini Me

I just love this picture!! Kyle has to imitate everything Grandpa does. One Saturday, Mike was sitting on the steps and Kyle sat next to him and started imitating every move that Mike made. It was so cute I just had to get a picture of it, Grandpa's little buddy:)

Come On Easter!!

I can not wait for Easter! Okay, not because it is Easter but because I get to have a couple of days off. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE teaching, but I just need a break right now. It just seems like I am running to work, I am running after work to get things paid or to mail something--you name it--I NEED A BREAK!! Oh, and this college thing--I don't remember having to do all this stuff to get ready for college. You have to fill out a FAFSA, you have to sign verification forms, you have to send in copies of tax information, you have to turn around three times and cry like a baby--okay I made that last one up--but please--I have to do everything TWICE--thank goodness that SUU lets me know what they need because then I can call WSU and find out if Morgan needs the same things, and YES she does. In fact, I have to run right after school tomorrow and take the tax information to WSU and sign some parental form too. On top of that, I have a workshop on Monday and Tuesday and I have to get ready for a substitute--now that is a nightmare.
Okay I think I'm through venting!! I feel a lot better now:)

My favorite way to spend a Saturday

Kyle didn't feel like taking a nap in is travel bed, so he sat on my lap and fell asleep. I couldn't help myself. Next thing I knew I was out too, and I am the luckiest mother in the world to have a daughter who takes pictures of everything:) But I wouldn't change a thing--having my favorite little guy snuggle up to me;)

Belated Christmas

Yeah, I know I'm kind of late--but here are a few of our Christmas pics.

We headed down to Cedar City the day after Christmas and had a great

time with my parents. Morgan got Speed Stackers for Christmas and we

had a great time trying to out stack each other. It was great family fun!!

Traditions

Every year on New Year's Day, Mike and I make tamales with our neighbors Jeremy and Socorro Whisman. We have been doing this for the last 3 years. We have a great time and it takes all day. What a wonderful way to start the New Year off--with food and friends.
