Samantha and Amy love their iphones

and they take way too many pics of themselves.
In other news, the kids had a swim meet over the weekend and had a lot fun and swam very fast (except Amy who had been sick all week). It was so much fun to watch. We spoke in church today and I am very glad to have that over and done with. We've been exercising a lot and feel pretty good, and we've been cooking like crazy. I will have to post some of the recipes I've tried from "My Father's Daughter" cookbook that I got for Christmas. They have all turned out great and we've been eating well. The apple muffins were exceptional!!

Our other computer

stopped working and it is the one that has all my photos on it. I have some on my camera that i need to download to this computer, but I have to install the program first and I'm being kind of lazy. So instead, I thought I would share this pic Samantha took on her iphone.

Eggs Benedict. I thought it turned out pretty good, and the food did too. We watched Julie and Julia last week (one of my favs) and Samantha had been telling me for a while she wanted to learn to poach an egg. I was trying to think of a way to make a quick dinner Saturday night and was thinking of doing eggs when I figured we could try poaching them. One thing led to another, and Marshall is the least laziest person I know, so he agreed to go to the store and get some English Muffins and Canadian bacon. My hollandaise sauce sat a little too long and was kind of thick, but it really turned out well. When I asked Marshall to please get out some nicer plates to set the table, he went all the way, set out my crystal wine glasses, got out some sparkling cider, and lit candles. What a fun evening. Then we all watched Captain America. Luckily Marshall and I share similar taste in movies, so we all really enjoyed it.
