Awesome Meal Planning Site

I have recently started using Plan to Eat.  It is an awesome website that allows you to put in your recipes, or import them from around the web and then plan them to a calendar.  From there it makes a shopping list that you can edit to put things in your pantry that you already have.  They also have a cook from your pantry option that helps you to find recipes for stuff that you already have in your pantry.  You can start with a 30 day free trial and then sign up after that which is awesome and right now it's only $40 for a full year.  Here's the link :)  plantoeat.com  Tell me if you enjoy it as much as I do.  Also, if you join, we can become friends on the site and share recipes!

Random Pics

I went to visit Eric and Erica at the hospital one day and I dropped Ivy off at my friend Kim's house.  Her little girl has a bunch of princess stuff and Ivy was in 7th heaven!  She is still way into princess stuff and Kim said that she barely held still for the picture :)

Saint Patrick's Day outfit

My friend Susan made this cute cute dress for Ivy.  Susan drafted the pattern and is putting them up for sale sometime soon.  She does machine embroidery too and that is what is on Ivy's chest.  Super cute and so so so nice of Susan to think of Ivy!

Guitar Heroine

Chris plays the guitar and has several in his man cave office.  Ivy loves to do whatever we're doing and has tried to haul one of Chris' guitars out of his office.  I decided that in order to avoid further mishaps on the guitar front that we might want to get her her own guitar but then remembered that we had some guitar hero guitars for the playstation that we haven't been using.  So I hooked it back up and let her play.  I put it on practice mode because it won't shut down the song if she doesn't push the right buttons.  She loves it!  I think we'll have a musician on our hands in the future.

She talks about a bed because there is a guitar on a bed in the practice mode.

Ivy with Chick

On our last visit to Idaho, my Dad had some chicks at work that he took Ivy and I to go see.  She held one...sort of...as you'll see in the video.  It pooped on her twice!  Good thing I was stubborn about her changing out of her "princess" (her dress which she calls princess) and into jeans.

Prayers Please

Hi all,

My sil is in the hospital.  Her body is threatening to deliver her triplets way too early.  Please any prayers you can spare would be so great.  Her name is Erica.  Thanks!
