Post for Lane!!!

Hello My Sweet Nephew!!
Guess what I have! Cheat Codes for Age of Empires! I'm not sure if they will work for yours, but you can try them and see.

if you press "enter" a little thing pops up and then you type in one of these codes:

woodstock (it will give you extra wood)
pepperoni pizza (will give you extra food)
bigdaddy (look over by your town center - there is something VERY cool) with this thing you have to be careful. when it shoots it'll destroy anything around - even your own people. But it is really fast and cool!

I hope you enjoy these codes. Are you glad to be back home? Did you have fun with Grandma and Grandpa? i wish I could have come and played with you and Paige. Let me know if these codes work for you or not.
I love you!

Green Tea is NOT allowed!!

I am SO embarrassed! I thought that Green Tea was ok for the LDS Word of Wisdom! I found out that I was wrong! I am SOOOOOO sorry if I lead anyone astray. I have stopped the use of Green Tea in my uses of cooking. :(

Ramen Noodles

You all know that I've been using the Sneaky Chef recipes and ideas, right? Well, can I just say again how much I LOVE it! I only have one of her books, she's made more and I think I'm going to save up my money to buy them one at a time. :)
I Sneakified Ramen Noodles. Yep, that's right - Ramen Noodles!!! I always cook the noodles a little "a dente" then when I put the flavor packet in I let it soak for a few minutes. This time I added a green tea bag in with the flavor packet and let it soak in with the flavors. Then I took the tea pouch out and fed the Ramen to the kids. They couldn't taste a thing! I used Roasted Beef flavor, I'm not sure how it tastes with any other flavor.
I also used the green tea in boiling noodles for stroganof the other day. Couldn't taste anything.

On another side note, the kids are still doing great at Judo. Our last class was a real good one. One of the Sensei's asked what Martial Arts Elizabeth has taken before. I was a little confused. But Sensei Sally mentioned that she is doing so well that they thought she must have taken some Martial Arts before. Nope! My girl is just picking it up quickly.
Bret also pinned one of the younger guys there. They were doing a few matches and Bret pinned him. Oh, did I mention that the kids is a BROWN BELT??!!! :)
The boys did a much better job listening this time. They've been doing ok, but last Thurs. class was a little unfocused for them both. Tues.'s class went really well.

Well, I still have 15 posters to make and stuff to return today. I had better get busy! I will probably not be back on the computer at all at least until Tuesday. Have a great weekend and send out a little prayer for me. I'm SO nervous and hoping that all goes well at Camp. :)
HUGS!!!

Countdown!

Camp is coming! This Friday I leave to spend 4 glorious days away from my kids and hubby. I know - pathetic! Girls Camp is glorious?! Well, let me put it this way:
1. I get to sleep in. 7am is a lot better than 6am.
2. I don't have 4+ kids calling for me.
3. I don't have to cook AT ALL!
4. I get a bed all to myself.
5. No cleaning house.
6. Spiritual High!!!

That's all I can think of. PLEASE, Please don't point out the negatives! I am trying to pump myself up for this weekend.

Well, I had better get back to my pot. LOL! I'm making 200 some odd pots for camp. But I might need some REAL pot when this is all done! :)
