Jello Cookies

I made some Jello Cookies that I found on Pinterest! They were pretty good. I did lime, lemon and raspberry. I wasn't much of a fan of the raspberry. Click HERE for the recipe!

Easter Weekend

My sister Cassidy, graduated from BYU-I on Friday! She had a ticket for me but my parents had no room in the car for Pax and i so we stayed behind :( But here are some pics from the graduation! 

 On Saturday, they drove back to Provo to stay the night with us. So Marc, Pax and i met all of them at the new City Creek mall in Salt Lake. It was a gorgeous day and we were able to see the top things open!

We shopped and then we went to J-Dawgs... its my dads favorite

 Then Sunday we went to Sacrament at our ward and went to my Aunt Vickis house near Salt Lake. Heres some pictures from the afternoon!

 Group Shot

 Family Shot

 Cousins. Pax and Cooper

It was a fun day. My parents left later Sunday evening and then we headed over to our Aunt Dorene's house for round 2 of dinner! No pictures from then. Boo. We also didn't have any time to dye eggs or hunt the eggs. So we will do that one of these days when things slow down!

Mini Chicken Pot Pies

- 2 can of biscuits (10 count)

- 1 cup cooked chicken breast, diced

- 1 (14.5 oz) can cream of chicken soup

- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

- 1 cup of frozen mixed veggies 

- 1 teaspoon garlic salt

- 1 teaspoon of onion powder

- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

2. Separate biscuits and place each biscuit in a cup of a lightly greased 12-hole muffin pan, pressing dough up sides to edge of cup.

3. In a medium bowl, combine chicken, chicken soup, veggies, cheddar cheese, onion powder, parsley flakes, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.

4. Evenly spoon chicken mixture into prepared biscuit cups.

5. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.

6. Remove from oven. Place muffin pan on a wire rack and let set for 2-3 minutes. Serve at once.

*I followed the majority of this recipe but i added some more seasonings. I added onion salt as well, parsley and italian seasoning. I also added about 1/4 cup of milk to make it a little more runny! They were a hit!

Double Date With Pax & Lucy

Ever since we started having our Star Wars FHE with two of our couple friends from our ward, Pax was able to play with Lucy. That playtime ended once our Star Wars FHE ended. So when Jody asked if i could watch Lucy, i gladly obliged! Pax always talks about Lucy! He looks for her in sacrament at church and rushes to nursery to see her. He's obsessed! He even tried staying up from his nap because he knew she was coming over. I told him! And when she finally showed up, he was in heaven! After reading books together, we hopped on our bikes and put the kiddos in the buggy, where Pax proceeded to put the move on Lucy. He kept trying to hold her hand but she wouldn't have it for about 99% of the time. When she let him, he was ECSTATIC! haha Then we headed off for a bike ride. We rode down to Maceys to get ice cream cones. We ate them outside since it was so beautiful and then headed home. When she got picked up from her parents, he was sad. He loves that little girl!
