I've blogged about BzzAgent a few times before. This time we got selected to try Post Alpha-Bits cereal. The kids love this cereal. I would highly recommend it especially for kids that are starting to recognize their letters! All three of the kids really enjoy chowing these down. They are sweet and tasty. I would compare them to frosted cheerios in taste! Pretty yummy! We haven't tried them with milk since the kids like to dig through them looking for letters it would be pretty messy! Another perk is that the Super Why characters are on the box. And in true fashion the kids enjoying eating things that they relate to...Also there was a fun Super Why mask to cut out of the back of the box!


Back to the same old stuff

We had such a nice time the last two weeks with Mark home. Besides all the responsibilities of life it would be so nice to have him home all the time! I'm sure eventually we would be clawing each others eyes out but really that's besides the point. It was a long year last year and he was gone A LOT for work. A couple fires and lots of work up in NE Washington. We attempted to spend a night with him in a hotel in Newport WA. That didn't really end up so well, I don't think we will be attempting it again anytime soon.

Mark got a Kindle Fire for Christmas so we set up Skype last night. It will be fun for him to see the kids every night no matter where he is...well, as long as where ever he is has wifi. I got a new sewing machine and I am over the moon with it! Its so nice and such an upgrade from what I previously had. I can even monogram now...Holler!! Jackson went back to pre-school this morning at Mrs. Margies, he was excited to go. We are also having a mini blizzard this morning. However, the snow level is supposed to bump up to 5200 feet and rain by this afternoon. Weird weather.

I made a special FB page for my cookies.... I think I will do a special football cookie for super bowl Sunday then on to Valentines day. I'm enjoying this and excited to see where it leads me. I still haven't completely decided on a price yet. I don't want to charge too much but I don't want to short change myself either. Such a dilemma.

Happy New Year!

Mark told me I need to make a better effort on keeping up with our blog...I'm going to try...no promises! We had a nice Christmas vacation traveling over to the west side of Washington for a week.

 We left Sunday before Christmas and headed down to Carly's brothers house South of Olympia. Stayed there two nights and had a fun Conklin family Christmas on Christmas Eve. We woke up Christmas day to a white Christmas...nice wet west side snow. We packed up the jeep and headed to Carly's Mom's house just outside of Graham. Had a nice Christmas day there and spent the next two days with them. On Friday we headed North to Sammamish to be with Marks family. His Mom and Dad came up from Oregon as well as his Nephew Brayden. We had a nice time visiting with all our family and were glad to journey back home on Sunday. We have about 3 inches of snow and its cold! Kids are having fun playing with all their new toys and we are enjoying having Mark home with us this week! We will all be sad to see him go back to work next Monday.

I have one cookie order for this Friday for a baby shower! I'm hoping to have a few more here and there to keep me busy! It's been fun filling all the orders for the Christmas season. I think all said and done I did about 30 dozen cookies for the holidays!

 First round of rip and tear! They enjoyed their poprocks!
