Dickamores: Fruit Pizza

Fruit Pizza

My cute girls wanted to do something special for their Daddy (why is it they never want to do anything special for me? -- probably because I never do fun stuff with them). We decided to make him a fruit pizza. They had so much fun.

What could be better than an enormous sugar cookie covered in cream cheese frosting topped with fresh fruit? The cookie spread off my stone and made a gigantic mess but tasted great. I thought they did a great job and were very methodical in their decorating. Guess all those crafts we do are coming in handy! Blake loved the raspberries. Crazy kid hates cereal and any mashed fruit or veggie we give him but he loves fresh raspberries. Get ready to order three bowls of raspberries on our next cruise Papa Bruce!

Nic said...: Hey Tami, it's Nic! I somehow ended up on your blog from someone else's blog and was pleasantly surprised to see that it was you! It's fun to see you have two girls and a boy... same for me. It was really exciting to hear that you live in AZ. I'm up here in Prescott, we'll have to meet up sometime. I hope you like AZ, it was quite an adjustment for me. I miss my mountains and all manicured lawns with grass. I've so enjoyed reading about your adventures as a Mom... you seem like a great one. Also, your hair looks fabulous short... very sophisticated. But then again, you would look beautiful bald. This blogging world seems to be quite small... it's fun to bump into old friends even if it is via cyberspace. I love your blog.
Hope to keep in touch. Nic; June 3, 2008 at 7:23 PM

From the mouths of babes

I think its interesting the way kids mix up a word, we think its cute then we begin using it in its wrong form. Here are a few of our 'new' words:

Shampoo-Panda: Kung-fu Panda

Pupcake: Cupcake

Pack-pack: Back-pack

Mow lawner: Lawn mower

We recently rented "Kung-fu Panda". The girls have had fun playing 'Karate'. Earlier today Aliya asked if she could play 'Shampoo Panda'. What I asked? 'Shampoo Panda -- ya know 'hi-ya'. Incredibly cute misunderstanding!

Today while I was getting ready for a GNO, Aliya asked if we were going to church. I said "No, today is Wednesday. Why do you think we're going to church?" Little imp replied that I only do my hair when we go to church. Sad to say but its true. Guess I need to start doing my hair more often!

One afternoon when Aliya was about 18 months, Tony had a left a few of his prescription pills out and they fell on the floor. I saw Aliya putting something in her mouth and immediately let out an "Ah hell" then went to fish it out. Taeya pipes up "All hail what Mommy" to which I replied "All hail the Queen". Swear word catastrophe averted! Its coming one of these days but luckily STILL hasn't hit us (except when they say BYU and that is worse than any swear word at our house)!

Today I got a new pair of jeans and was asking Tae if they make my bum look big or little. She spread her hands apart and said "this is fat" then spread her hands about an inch in and said "you're almost there". Thank you little turd!

As we were getting in the car to go somewhere the other day the girls kept fighting and it was driving me crazy. After I separated them and got everything calmed down I said "you girls are going to kill me". Taeya immediately said "No we wont Mom, we don't have any guns or swords". Okay fine, they aren't going to kill me just drive me to drink!

Once after a particular stinky day at our house, Aliya walked up behind me and said "mom, you have a 'roma". She somewhere picked up the word aroma. At least she was using it correctly. Sad when your three year old calls you out!

When we were planning Taeya's birthday party I asked her if she'd rather have sandwiches or pizza. She asked "which cost more money"? I told her they were about the same and that money didn't matter. She then asked "which will be easier for you"? I said probably pizza to which she replied she wanted pizza. Is she a good kid or what?

One of my friends was over with her 15 month old twin boys. One was dressed in orange, the other in red. At one point Aliya comes running in and said "the red one getting away". That is now how we differentiate between the two, the red one and the orange one!

Last night when Taeya was helping me give Blake a bath, she looked down and said "Mom, Blakes pee-pee looks like a turkey". Guess thats is an adequate description from a Kindergartner!

While I was being monitored in the hospital last year, Tae was playing with her friend Karter. Bridgette, the mom, told the girls they were going to make cookies. When Bridge pulled out the Nestle log of cookie dough, Tae informed her that those were NOT cookies. Spoiled kid didn't know cookies came pre-made!

A year or two ago, a little boy (Jackson) came over to play with Taeya and she was showing him her scooter and its "dinger thing" (bell). Jack then told her his ding-a-ling was broken. I told his dad as long as his ding-a-ling was broken, he could come play anytime!

Last night I overheard Aliya telling Taeya "you're ruining my life" all because Taeya quit reading a book to her. Oh the drama we have yet to see at our house!

At the mall Aliya kept asking her Aunt Becky to ride up and down the "alligator" (elevator) with her.

I was helping Aliya do something when Blake started to cry. I asked her if Uncle Jeff could finish and she said "No, hims too crazy". True, true!

The other night as we were eating pasta with ranch on it, Tae said "Mom, you are such a good cook. You should be on TV". Ah, gotta love her innocence!

One afternoon I told Aliya to go play for a couple minutes then when I was done getting ready we'd leave. She put her head down and stormed out muttering "oh you are terrible"!
