Avery slept over at our house and we went to a little craft night at my parent's house. Here is a cute picture of Avery and Maddie and Maddie concentrating hard on gluing after cutting everything with her "zizzors." She LOVES to cut things and would do it all day if she could.
This is was what Avery and I created. It took a really really really long time...
Mads and Avery hard at work:
And, here is Sam just being Sam:
The next morning, Jeff, Avery, and I went to the Living Planet Aquarium. Pretty cool, but definitely only need to go once. Avery volunteered her and Jeff to be a part of a presentation in which Avery put on all the layers that would make her a beaver.
Jeff and Avery were brave and touched these sting rays and I took pictures. Did I want to put my arm down in the water with random creatures? No dice.
Kaitlyn's blessing was beautiful. We didn't take our camera, but the dress was perfect and Kaitlyn was great and family pictures after were a blast. I wish we could have taken ten more. :) All the boys were just that thrilled about it...
Conference weekend Jeff and I decided to make stir fry. It was yummy and we felt the need to document the whole process because, well, we had never made it before. So, here is the washing of some of the veggies. The black thing is our Pampered Chef rice cooker. BEST ever. Seriously. You cook it in the microwave, and there is NO mess. Other rice cookers always spit the nasty water all over, but this one keeps everything in the pot. A-MA-ZING. Love it.
And here is the final product. Good job to Jeff for placing everything just right.

OK! I read that as cat fish stir fry and I started to get really nervous!
Nice dinner! It looks like it came from a magazine. I definitely need to get a rice cooker like that! It was fun to see your pics from your weekend with Avery. She had such a great time with you. Thanks for being such a great aunt and uncle!
Jeff, my cooking expertise has paid off. Good job. It was worth all those years of slaving over a hot stove for a growing family. Hey that dish looks incredible. I know what you're cooking next time you come to visit.
