Happy Birthday Dad!

Happy Birthday Dad!
Kylie and her easter bunny ears.....too cute!
Mmmmmmm a scrumptious coconut cupcake from my mommies store, just had to take a pic.
We went to my parents house wed night for a bday celebration for my dad, it was his actual bday and Dan's is on wed the 12th so we just went ahead and combined them. Before our dinner we spent some time with mom and Kylie at the shop making dinner. After Dan and my dad opened their presents we gave Kylie her easter basket from us since Dan is getting ready to go out of town for training and easter is right around the corner!! I just had to add a pic of my mommies cupcakes, they are soooo good and look especially cute for spring, they have coconut on top of the icing with a chocolate cadbury egg on top, so cute and oohhhh so good. I still have to post pics of our survivor night with Trishy and Brian, those are coming soon. Tah tah for now....

I heart the public for getting rid of DANNY!!!!

Wow, we never thought it would happen and it finally did!!! Dan and I were yelling and screaming horray at the tv when Danny got voted off, it was hilarious! I was glad to see Luke go too, his voice was just not so good. We shall see how chikezee does next week, but he is on the bottom of our list. We watched the little re-cap of the girls and I must say Amanda was really good last week. I can't remember who else we liked but we will get to know the girls better next week since we have to! ;)

* I think Mel is getting sucked in!!! She watched it and liked a singer!! :) Yeah Mel, Jason is really good, and you are right, the song he sang is awesome, I bet you watch him next week again....and I bet you are at our american idol party! ;)

I still heart David Archuleta

Ok, so could we pleeeeeease be able to vote OFF people. We still hate Danny, he has to go, he was HORRIBLE tonight. We didn't think David Archuleta picked the best song to sing but we still love him and his great voice. David Cook was awesome, so was Jason (dread boy) and Michael. We were also surprised how good David Hernandez sounded singing one of Celine's songs. (Could we also please not have so many great davids....too confusing!) We still don't like Luke, hopefully him and Danny leave on Thurs, we shall see. We are still bad and don't really watch the girls, we will be forced to pick our faves when they get down to the top 12....next week---yaaaaay! So, let me have 'em, I want your opinions and by the way is there anyone out there who loves Danny....be honest.....

My pretty tulips....

I took a few pretty pictures of my tulips from my bubs.....they didn't turn out too shabby. Thanks for them again bubs, I loved em!

Cooking Light night....take two....

The meal.....homemade chicken nuggets, homemade mac and cheese and steak fries...yummy!
Dan and Suishi playing in his room with Desmond and his turtle!

We had our second rendition of our cooking light nights....except it was deceptively delicious night. Well, my bubs hates broccoli and Mel found a great recipe that called for puree broccoli in the coating of the chicken nuggets and it was ohhhhhhh so good! Then we had home made mac and cheese from the same cookbook, it was supposed to have pureed butternut squash but yeah, it didn't turn out so well, we kinda over cooked the squash, oh well! Then we made rice krispie treats with flaxseed and brown rice krispies....no not chocolate....lol. They were soooo good too! Bubs loved the chicken nuggets, we told him our tricky plan after he professed his love for them and he said he knew there was broccoli in it, he saw the green but he couldn't taste it so it was good!
While Mel and I were making dinner Dan was playing with Suishi in his room, they were dressing his bear and turtle.....so cute!
Once again Mel has waaaay better pics than me, their camera is soooo much better than mine and we just tend to use theirs!! Thursday night we went to see Trishy and Brian and had us a survivor night and made shrimp fly rie, egg rooos, crab ragoo.....lol....it was allll very good, pics to follow.

*disclaimer----the steak fries were not home made, they were hy-vee made, we decided it was ok to have one item non-homemade....besides they are FABULOUUUS!

Ok....now I heart David Archuleta

Ok, so it is once again American Idol time.....I am sad to report however we were watching "the moment of truth" and lost track of time and missed the first 3 singers, including our all time fave Michael and Jason we like too......so we are sad for that. BUT, we did however get to see David, the one who looks like he is 12, WOWZA he is soooo good.  Robbie was one of our faves last week but he didn't do so good tonight, we thought it was just ok, not giving up on him yet though. David Cook from Blue Springs was great again. The two that surprised us were David Hernandez and Chikizie, they didn't really stick out to us last week but we liked them a lot tonight.  Then of course the final singer was our FAVE of the night, David the 17 year old 12 year old looking boy with the voice of a 30 year old. Oh and Danny, HE NEEDS TO GO!!

About the girls, yeah I don't know why but we are just not really into them this year, but we will watch tomorrow and see. It's funny cuz Dan and I totally have the same opinion on all the guys so no fun arguments after the show! I want to hear your opinions all you american idol fans, including you Momma Jackson, you skipped out on the last one on me! :) Oh and all you non-american idol fans, you only wish you were cool enough to be in our club!

Kylie......

 Kylie was so funny opening her presents, as you can see on my video, she kept saying I don't know I have to open it cuz we all wouldn't stop asking her what it was! You can so tell she is a Maynard, my dad is FULL of one liners and so is she. When we had dinner at my parents the other night my dad got up to do get more lasagna, didn't say a word, he just left like one would do to get seconds and out of no where Kylie looks at us all and says....uh oh we lost one guys. We were laughing so hard and were like what? You are not even 3, you are so silly! I love kids, they say the darndest things! I can't wait to have my own kids and have endless entertainment! 

London on the Go.....

Mom's new cards for the new part of her store....very cute.
This is what you see now instead of walls and a purple curtain....the deli!
Kylie and one of her Vday presents from me and Dan.
Scones anyone.....yummmm they look soooo tasty and they are.
Happy Bday momma! Mmmmm there is the cheesecake.

We went to my parents house for my mom's bday like I said on my earlier post and made a quick stop to the shop, we had not been there since she stopped the tea room and turned it into the deli. For those of you who don't know, she has a british shop that sells lots and lots of stuff from tea pots to candy bars from England. My parents have had the store for about 7 years and about 4 years ago added the tea room, well it was costing them too much to have all their employees (sucky thing about small businesses) so they turned it into London on the Go and basically the tea room is a to go room, they did LOTS of take out before so things have been going really well for them. The set up they have for the Deli is really cute too, I am so proud of them, my dad made the coolest counter.
This was our first time we had seen Kylie for Vday so she got our presents from us little late, my dad calls her a monkey so I had to get the monkey shirt! She is so stinkin cute. I have a video of her opening them, I will post that soon she is sooooo funny.
After the shop visit, on to the rents house for lasagna, great cheesy bread sticks and even more fabulous cheesecake(thanks for the recipe momma jackson)! Before we ate Dan and Kylie were watching Willy Wonka (the original of course) so I snuck a pic of them...which is my last one, aren't they so cute! They played cars, wrestled and watched t.v., she kept calling him her "brudder" all night, it was hilarious! You have to hear how she says Dan, she sounds like Forrest Gump.....Da'an.
