Egg Substitute

Today my boys had chocolate chip cookie dough for the first time. As most of you know my boys are allergic to eggs, so I actually found out how to substitute the eggs. I don't know why I didn't do this before. So if anyone needs an egg substitute here it is: 2 Tbs applesauce = 1 egg

It actually worked! And it didn't taste funny. The cookies were not quite as fluffy, but they still tasted really good. Ryan and Ethan both loved the cookie dough and were so excited I actually let them have some. I had Ryan help me make them so he could see for himself that I didn't put eggs in them. Yea for applesauce!

I love Police Officers...and it shows.

For my mom's birthday my sister, Grandma, and I took her to dinner and a movie. Summer and I decided it would be super cool to take a picture with a South Jordan Police Officer (I'm sure he loved us...or maybe just went home to his wife and said, "I met the two craziest girls today". We went and saw Confessions of a Shopaholic. I thought it was pretty cute. Although I really could not imagine spending that much money on designer clothes...what a waste!

We didn't have time to wait in the long lines at the restaurants (it was the day before Valentines) so we went to yummy Chick-fil-A. And I had to take a picture with all the wonderful dinner mints...who wouldn't want to?

All my cute boys walking in Heaven...I mean Target.

For Valentines Day I bought Ben a snowboarding pass and dinner so he could go with his friend Ash. Very romantic huh? So Ryan, Ethan and I went to Tooele and went bowling with my parents. We had a really great time! My favorite part is putting on the sexy bowling shoes that a million other people have worn...yummy!

Ethan loves to bowl. As soon as he let the ball go, he would run back to get another one.

As for what the Clegg household has been up to:
1. My computer is fixed and they saved my blessed pictures
2. Ben added another class to his load so we are both super busy
3. Our house is under contract again (let's hope it works out this time)
4. We close on March 20th
5. We're still not sure whether we're buying a home or building
6. Ryan, Ethan and I all have colds
7. While I'm making a list...I need butter, milk, bagels, chocolate chip cookies (homemade) and cough medicine

Love This

Ben got this perfume for me for Valentines Day. I'm very picky with scents and he did an awesome job picking one out. I love it! Thanks Ben!

Computer Hospital

So the day I last posted I was buying Ben's Valentine's present online and Ryan flipped the circuit breaker switch in the basement and my computer died. I tried to reboot several times and Ben tried putting our old hard drive in, and nothing worked. So we took it to PC Laptops (they suck by the way). So have not posted for a while because I have been computer deprived. So sad. I'm on Ben's laptop right now. I took the computer in a week ago last Friday and they said it would be done by Tuesday or Wednesday. I called Wednesday and they said they hadn't gotten to it and it'll be done by Friday. I called Friday and they said they'll work on it that afternoon and Saturday morning. So I called today and they said, oh we're working on it right now, it should be done soon. So I called again at 6pm and they said, oh we haven't finished it, it'll be done tomorrow. I'm not holding my breath for it to be finished. TERRIBLE customer service. You can bet as soon as I get it back I'm writing them a nasty letter. I need my computer (not just for my blog silly kids). I just hope the hard drive is okay. I have all of my pictures on there and I didn't back up anything. Note to self: BACK UP YOUR HARD DRIVE YOU STUPID GIRL! Anywho, if I loose everything, I'll be posting to have you all send me pictures you have of our family so we have something. Okay, it is really hard to type on a laptop, so if this sucks, we'll blame the laptop. I'll post pictures and such when (if) I get my computer back.

Vaginesque

I do have to say mine and Ben's pillow talk is a little odd sometimes. Maybe it's because he comes home so late from school and we're a little loopy from being tired.

When Ben was younger he used to do all sorts of crazy things. He's told me stories of how he had his brother poop in his mom's shoes because he didn't like them. Or he locked a friend in a suitcase. Or the classic, he punched a hole in the wall of his bedroom so he could pee in it...you know to save time having to walk down the hall. I for one, have never done anything that crazy. I was explaining to him last night that our backyard in California had a retaining wall with a big hill above it. And on the rare occasion that it snowed I would sled down the hill jump off the retaining wall and ram into the house...it was so much fun! So no, it's nothing compared to pooping in a shoe. But after I was finished telling the story Ben said in a serious voice, "Kelly, you can't do stuff like that, you're supposed to be Dainty and...Vaginesque". Dude...where does he come up with his words?

The Kanga

The Kanga...sounds like a dance...maybe like the Tango?
Now that Ben is working and back in school again we hardly see him (I'd rather it be this way then not have a job though). So I decided we needed some family time Friday night. We met Ben at work off of North Temple and Redwood Rd. then drove (in the thick fog) to North Salt Lake to the Kangaroo Zoo (thanks for the idea Catherine & Britni).

Here is Ryan checking it out. I highly recommend going on a Friday night at 5 or 5:30 because it's not busy (the birthday parties started coming in around 6:30 or so). The place is way more fun when you have it to yourself.

Ethan was a little unsure of what to think.

Ethan looks terrified going down the big slide. I can only imagine how big it must seem to him though. He eventually warmed up to the place and loved it.

I love this picture...Ryan looks so cute. He had a great time and got all his wiggles out.

There is air coming out of that cone and Ethan would put the ball up there himself and hit the ball, it was so cute! I got it on video but I'm not sure if I'll be able to load it.

We all had a great time. There was an East Coast Subs next door and we went there after and had Philly Cheese Steak Sandwiches...they were the best!! We will definitely be doing this again as a Friday night activity.
P.S. if you're going to go from Riverton, the Pleasant Grove one would be closer to get to. We just went to North Salt Lake because Ben works up there (and now we know there is an East Coast Subs...Yum).

The Messy Stuff

Yes, I realize this picture is disgusting. This is what it looks like when I take 2 boys to an all you can eat restaurant. My grandma takes us out to Golden Corral once and a while and we love it! It's the only place you can have spaghetti, mashed potatoes, meatloaf, jello, and cottage cheese on one plate...with a heaping side of ice cream.

We got 2 offers on our home in 3 days! One of them low balled us and we said no, the other one was above our listed price, but they wanted us out in 1 week and we took it. So here are some of the boxes I packed (well, my family came and helped). Then we found out a couple days ago that the lady buying our home lost her job that day. So our house is back on the market and I had to hide all the boxes and get my house spotless clean again. What a mess! I sure hope it sells soon, I don't know how much of this I can take.

Ben and my brother Brant were playing guitar hero during one of my dad's precious football games so he had to watch it in Ryan's "house". Hilarious!

For playgroup we went to the Fire Station. The kids had a blast. Here is Ryan and his friend Caleb in the Station waiting to get tour.

Looking at the truck with the Fireman who drives it.

Ryan and Kyle were able to ride in the firetruck while they pulled it out of the garage. Ryan thought that was awesome!

I did not realize we had so many boys in our ward. Here they are in front in the truck, minus Ethan (he was in my arms).

We're excited to move to Tooele (hopefully soon) so we can have Nigh Time Donuts whenever we want!! Yum!

(For you Tooeleians...yes I'm sure that's spelled wrong) Keep your eyes open for a home or a lot and let us know about it!
