HELP!!!!

I need help!!!! My ward has a recipe exchange group. We meet every other month or so and have a different theme each time. This is a very popular group and tons of fun. We all make our recipe and take copies and then we sample everyones and take home a stack of recipes. I have gotten A LOT of good recipes (and quite a few nasty ones, but thats the way it goes.) Well, the next one is on April 1 and the theme is 5 ingredients or less. I have been racking my brain and going through my recipes, but I cannot find something to take that fits. So, if any of you have a recipe that is really good and has 5 or fewer ingredients will you please help me out? You can post a reply (it should fit in the comments -which I fixed Megan- since 5 ingredients is a short recipe,) or you could email me if you have my email. Please, I am begging for help! I will even pass along any good recipes I get if you'll help!

Girly Time

So Kiara has been begging me to color her hair ever since Aunt Megan did it. I have been telling her no because she is too young. Well, I've been thinking, my mom permed my hair since I was in Kindergarten, so maybe she isn't too young. At least for highlights anyway. And then my sister visited last week, and when they were leaving, Kiara wanted to go with them and live with them. After some joking about her doing all the chores and sleeping on the floor, all of which she was willing to do, we asked why she wanted to go. Well, she said that then she could have a sister, Sierra. She was DEAD SERIOUS. So I decided we should have some girly time and we went ahead and high lighted her hair this morning. Here are the before, during and after pictures.

BEFORE
DURING
I kept poking her head - I told her beauty came at a price - she wasn't happy with that answer.

AFTER

So pretty and shiny!

Little cake


I made this cake for one of my activity days girls who turned twelve. She is moving on to Young Women's. :( I will miss her, but at least I get to teach her on Sunday until next January!

Zander Crawls - kind of

So Zander is finally crawling. Well, one leg scoots, the other almost walks. I think one of my neice's did a similar crawl. Very cute, and I have to say he is getting quite quick with this method. Last night Paul turned on the faucet to get a bath for Kegan and Zander was in the middle of the kitchen floor when he heard it. I think he was at the bath tub in 20 seconds. He loves the bath. We need to get him some bath toys though. All our old ones from the other kids were rather gross and were thrown out. He needs a rubber ducky!

He used to need motivation to get him to crawl (the graham cracker). Now he's all over the place without the lure of food. Oh, and sorry about Payton in his under wear, he'd rather not wear pants for some reason, and I let him get away with it on occasion.

Hair Poll

It was hair cutting week at our house. For the older two boys at least. I'm trying to decide whether to cut Zander's hair..... My kids have all needed haircuts around when they turn 1, and Zander has 3.5 months to go..... But his hair is soooo uneven. But cute still. Check out the new 'do's and tell me what you all think, is it time to trim Zander or wait? Kegan looks studly with his spikes. Now if he would just smile for the camera...
My sweet Payton and his slick 'do!
Can we say clown hair? Well, should I trim him up?
(It doesn't stick up on its own, I did that - if it makes a difference to you.)
