It's not technically Las Vegas, but it's as close as your going to get while keeping that smaller town community feel.

...Char was sleeping so peacefully Monday morning that I didn't want to wake her up. ...she made me a pretty picture at school with chalk. ...she continued her obsession with the easel and colored (and watched Toy Story ) while waiting for Daddy to get home from work. Hooray for panties! ...it got cold and windy again, but we played outside anyways. Isaac played catch with the neighbor boys, while JJ flew the kite and Char strutted her stuff. ...the girls danced around the living room. There is an iTunes Radio station called 'Frozen Radio' that the girls are crazy about. They play random Disney songs, and we listen to it all.the.time. (After watching this a few times, I realized that Char was trying to sing "friend in" as in "You've Got a Friend In Me".) ...Grace put Charley to bed by tickling her face. ...the girls got cake pops. Yep, for breakfast. ...we got to school a few minute

Picture of the Week: The Sleepiest Kid Ever When I pick Perry up in the afternoons, we have to wait for about twenty minutes before Grace and Char get back from school. I actually kind of love it, because it gives me a chance to hang in Perry's classroom when they are doing afternoon crafts. Monday, they made barns out of chocolate graham crackers and marshmallow fluff. Perry's favorite part was eating it, and she shared with her sisters in the car as we drove home. We made salads for dinner, and she kept begging Daddy for bites. He decided it was easier to just share the whole bowl with her. Perry is definitely our best eater of the bunch and loves pretty much everything you give her, including most veggies.   She was being super silly in the bath, so I gave her a mohawk to go with her sass. While I was combing her hair, she found the tweezers on the counter, and kept calling them "teezwers". It was adorable, so I had to get a video.

Finally, the recipe you've all been waiting for. We make this dish ALL the time. Anytime it's a special occasion, whenever we are hosting guests, and just for dinner during the week. It's super easy and amazingly delicious. Ingredients: 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts salt pepper 18 oz. fettuccine 1 oz. butter 3 oz. prosciutto, chopped into small pieces 1 garlic clove, minced 16 oz. heavy cream 4 oz parmesan, grated 1/4 tsp white pepper 2 egg yolks 1 french baguette, cut into 1/2" thick slices extra virgin olive oil dried parsley Directions: Boil water to cook the fettuccine per the directions on the box. (I like to add about 1/2 tsp of salt and 2 tsp of olive oil to the water so the pasta doesn't stick together.) Heat your grill for the chicken and season it with salt and pepper. Set aside until grill is ready. Put the pasta into the boiling water and put the chicken on the grill. Cook breasts just enough to put grill marks on t
