Dad's Birthday.

p

Here are some pictures from Dad's birthday. We gave Alex our gifts that day also. Mom and Dad got him a SpongeBob fishing pole that came with a Plankton casting plug. Alex really liked being able to fish with the other "big boys". I got him a Cars book I saw when I was visiting Rachel in Manhattan, the front of the book is a puzzle where you slide the pieces around to make a picture. It reminded me of this airplane book he really likes. Jenny and Nathan brought along one of his presents, some squirt guns that we had a lot of fun with. We had a little trouble trying to make sure we said to squirt someone and not to shoot them. Grandpa and Grandma got him a little toy Hummer towtruck thing, I don't think I got a very good picture of it. I also have some pictures of Dad opening his presents from Jeremy and Family (some kind of drill like sander) and from Jenny and Nathan ( a bunch of fishing stuff). I am also going to put up a video of some of the stuff from that visit on another post because it is kind of hard to upload videos on here for my internet.

So, looking at Jenny's blog reminded me that I needed to put up some pictures from her last visit.

My Episodes

Okay, I was wanting to ask if you girls could send me e-mails with things you remember from when I was crazy. Things like crazy quotes, my general craziness, or specific conversations. Joanne, if you could also ask Jeremy if he remembers any things that would be great. I am working on a project and I don't remember all the crazy things I did and I would like some prospective from your guy's point of view. I don't care if somethings you might write about me at that time are mean I realize how crazy I was at the time and am not the same person now. I would just like the nitty-gritty truth of what I was like. Thanks! My e-mails are all jillianj1016 at yahoo, hotmail, or gmail.

My New Blog Style

I had to do some HTML work and such things but I am pretty happy with the look of the blog. I would like to add some stuff to it eventually but this is what I got done today.

During Spring Break I decided that I was going to do a lot of cooking that I wanted to do but didn't have time. I made Mountain Dew cupcakes but they tasted a lot more like lemon than Mountain Dew. I heard that M.D. has an orange base instead of lemon/lime so one person making the recipe was going to use orange extract instead of lemon. The frosting was super sweet and I only I one of the two dozen made. Josh's job was to eat the things I made. I also made Oreo balls which I remembered to take a picture of before they were gone. I ate one a couple days ago and almost puked because they were so super sweet, but other people seemed to be fine eating them even if you can only eat one at a time because of the sweetness factor. I also made puppy chow, twice. I plan to make some more because it is the only thing I made that I really eat. I was also planning to make these coconut balls but I didn't get around to it. I plan on rolling them in coconut instead of sparkling sugar because I don't really like sprinkles.

Here are some picture from when Alex and Addison were at our house. There are a few more on my facebook.
