Adorable daughter Addison Rienn added in 06, and precious little Kaden Mikal joined the clan in March 09. We just moved to Washington, but we will always be Idahoans. We love lifes simple pleasures such as watching our daughter play, seeing our son smile, the great outdoors, good food, the company of family and friends, and football of course!

My little chickadees came down with the sniffles after we got home from our trip. We have been taking it easy indoors, which hasn't been so bad. We have found plenty to keep us busy, including watching the crazy weather out the window. We have been experiencing all four seasons daily, as it snows and blows, then rains and hails, followed by calm warm sunshine patches. The kids are feeling better now and ready for all the Easter excitement headed their way!

Addi wanted to make a super special pizza for her Daddy, just in case he was hungry when he got home from work. :o)
Good Job Addi!
The pizza was SO good. Mustard sauce, salami, kalamata olives and Italian cheese.

Earlier this week Tony brought home dinner from the Bistro in his store. We shared the "Carnivore" burger. Hamburger patty, four slices of ham, bacon, eggs, and who knows what else ;o) 
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Oh, and lets not even TALK about Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs! The Easter bunny might have left some in my possession, but I assure you the kids will not be receiving any in their basket. They are just so darn good. I think I need to detox and diet after Easter to cleanse my system of all the ham products and sugar I have, and will ingest over the next couple days.

Tony put the kids to bed last night and my good friend Candelaria picked me up for a girls night out. She is a CPA and has been so busy at work that we have barely seen each other in months. She needed a break, and I was happy to join her. We went to the awesome casino that is less than 10 miles down the road. Even though gambling is really not my cup of tea, this place is so cool that I might just forget about the twenty bucks I gave them last night. We played on an Indiana Jones machine, but my favorite part was people watching. All the young kids dressed up for the night clubs and all the older people dressed up to gamble and dine. It was fun to catch up with a good friend and get out of the house for a couple hours.
