What's Cookin Good Lookin?



Will decided to "help" me clean out the kitchen drawers yesterday. I sure am glad he's around and he pulls his own weight!

Vroom Vroom...

Well, the time has come to introduce Will to some sweet cars. A client was kind enough to give us tickets to the 2010 Auto Show at the Expo Center in Sandy, a couple weeks ago. We enjoyed looking at the cars and Will and I enjoyed dreaming about them in our sleep.

Jodi took a picture of this restored Mercury Cougar. She said her mom drove a car like that when she was young. Not bad...I think I like it better than her Toyota Corolla.



Sorry about the fuzziness but Jodi enjoyed the convertibles...especially these Ferrari F 430 convertibles.


I have always been a fan of Corvettes. A few corvette pace cars were on display for the public to behold.


Ah yes, the Ferrari Enzo...my Sunday driving car with my son in the passenger seat.


We can't forget my daily driver. My $260,000+ Bentley Continental SuperSports.


And last but not least, a Ferrari F 430 with an Italian racing stripe for added flare.

My B-loved B-lair...

Since the last part of October, when the temperature first dropped below 32 degrees, my sweet husband has been dying to go ice fishing. Why anyone would want to sit on a frozen lake while icy winds chap your extremities is totally beyond my realm of comprehension. Blair, on the other hand, looks on the adventure as a small piece of frozen heaven on earth. Finally, last weekend he committed our neighbor into going ice fishing. So, Saturday morning, Blair awakened at the crack of dawn before his alarm even sounded. (This NEVER happens except in the case of morning fishing trips and the opening day of the dear hunt.) After persevering for long hours in what Blair called "balmy" weather (12 degrees), he proudly returned with his first catch of the season. A 16 inch rainbow trout. We fried up the catch of the day and ate him for dinner. Blair couldn't have been more content.

"Jodi! We should send this picture to Cabela's so they can hang it on the wall with all the state's greatest fishermen."

Linus the fish's last goodbye before becoming the main course. RIP Linus. (It seemed like a good name to me:)

Remember how I have mentioned that Blair is always full of random surprises? Here is yet another one to add to my file. We made deluxe salads for our Sunday dinner yesterday. (The only way I can get Blair to eat his greens is to disguise them in a lot of chicken, olives, cheese, boiled eggs, etc.) Well, Blair LOVES Catalina salad dressing. I am convinced it is just ketchup on steroids, but Blair says it's the best thing since sliced bread. So, after taking a few bites of his Catalina soaked vegetable medley, he says, "Hang on, I'll be right back." In two seconds he was back with a giant bib neatly fastened around his neck. I exploded with laughter at the sight and asked, "What in the world is that?" He looked at me like I was the crazy one and said, "It's a bib." Turns out, Blair is big on social graces and didn't want to ruin his best Sunday white shirt by dripping Catalina on it. He informed me that he obtained the bib (complete with little red, blue, and yellow candy shapes on it) from a lady in his mission. It was a gift. When asked if she gave it to him because he had a history of spilling on himself, he replied in a completely matter of fact voice, "maybe." You gotta love this guy.

Things Will is Learning...

There are a number of things that Will has learned how to do lately...for better or worse.

The first is laundry



He has become a master at camouflaging himself to blend in with his surroundings.



His latest favorite is just learning to relax...

in his bathrobe. Seriously, every child needs a bathrobe, right?



Most importantly, how to prison break. Hee hee. This little striped onesie and cap made him look like a little jail bird.


With those thighs, he could definitely kick a door down!



Hey everyone!
