our family, our food, our fun

Kinda crazy round here.

I was just going to post a few pictures for now but then the idea of posting led from one idea to another to another. Pretty soon the idea of posting the last month became a burden I was not ready to bear. So here I am, pushing a good hearty post off for another week or so. Hoping that your appetite for Allgoodisms will be temporarily satiated.
Here I was making a cake for MJ's birthday party. I had set the bowl of frosting precariously on the edge of the sink and
OF COURSE I bumped it and it spilled ALL OVER me and the rest of the kitchen. Not even my hair was spared. I blame myself entirely- why can't I learn? Why Me? Oh right, I am my father's daughter. (My dad was cooking something on the BBQ yesterday- something wasn't right- the propane tank starts to light on fire- he throws the BBQ in the pool. If you are wondering who I belong to...there's your sign.)
Next we have our trip to the canyon. My mom, sister, sister's 2 kids- punky and nancy, and our family went to have a bbq in the canyon. The river was running too high for playing in it so it was a pretty quick 'up and back' (for fear we might lose children in the current). It was a beautiful day though and I realized how much kids love to be in the forest. There is no place like the canyons when you live in Utah. So much creativity happens there. Thank you canyons!
