Free and fun

It was the perfect day to go sledding. It wasn't snowing

it was 40 degrees (which is pretty warm right now) and

the kids were out of school. So we bundled up and headed

out the door with a few extra friends. We invited the Millers

to go with us. Their kids have never been! And since Malulani

didn't have someone her age she got to invite Addie.

Maile and Malulani

Maile absolutely loved it! The hills were quite a climb but that didn't
stop any of the kids from going up and down!

Our big sled fit our whole family (barely) on it!
And with a little push from Matt-down we went!
Dave thinking we were snowboarding....
he didn't last long standing up! =)
Maile and Me
Miss Aubree every time screamed down the hill!

Matt, Debbie, and little Jackson

OUR Sweetheart Day

Once there was a snowman- fall, fall, fall

Malulani and Addie (best friend that lives next door)

decided to play in the snow. Along came everyone else.

They had rolled two giant balls-so big that Dave struggled

to get the one on top of the other! He got on and the kids

laughed. They were out there for hours and one by one got

too cold to help. So what started out to be a neighborhood

fun in the snow ended with just a few kids left!

Malulani, Addie, Macy, Aubree, and our family

of snowmen (there is even Maile if you look right

next to Macy's leg) The two girls leaned on

the Dave snowman and now....well if it wasn't for

the Dallin snowman he would have fallen all the way down!

The girls tried to push it back up but did not

succeed. So there the Dave snowman stays leaning!

Yummy Recipe

Carne Rellenos Crock Pot

1 can (4oz) mild green chilies (the recipe calls for whole - I used diced and just mixed into the cream cheese)

4 oz cream cheese soft

1 steak a thin one (it calls for flank- but that is hard to find)

1 1/2 cup salsa verde (green salsa)

stuff chilies with cream cheese (or just mix it together), lay the steak on wax score one side and then flip over. Lay the chilies and cream cheese then roll up. It said to tie with kitchen string but I didn't have kitchen string so I use toothpicks-it worked. Put into crock pot and pour salsa over the steak. Cover with lid cook on low 6-8hrs or high 3-4hrs -till meat is tender. Take out and cut into about 6 pieces. Ours steak was able to be cut with a fork.

It was so GOOD! And so easy- It has a kick -the girls thought it was good but too hot and Dallin thought it was yummy!
