Motorcycle license--crazy or practical??

Well, between all the talk about getting a motorcycle license by my sister, Naomi, and Vince, I have decided to take the course with Naomi in the fall. Now, I know some may think it is an irrational, crazy move on any one's part, especially since I don't own a bike I could ride, (Lets face it Vince's is 10 times too big for me to even get off the kickstand!) but I figure it is inevitable, seeing how I am married to Vince! So on the practical side, if I ever do get my own bike I would save a lot on gas--especially since by the time I got one of my own, in 10-15 years maybe, the gas prices are inevitably going to be worse.

Congratulations Kirk & Stephanie Hilton!!

Vince's brother got married yesterday in the Salt Lake City Temple, and it was a beautiful ceremony followed by a very fun reception! We love our new sister-in-law and they are as gooey as newlyweds can be! We can't wait to get to know her better in the years to come!!!

The whole Hilton gang (that was there)--now we have more girl power, yay!!

Here are all the Hilton brothers, aren't they a handsome bunch???? Sorry ladies, only two left and one's 14! :)

Kirk is so happy, and he should be. You can just see it on his face--"She's mine!"

Rice Krispy Treats (or however you want to spell it)

I am in love with Rice Krispy Treats--not the yucky from-the-store kind, it has to be homemade. Whenever anybody asks what my favorite dessert or baked (non-baked) good is, it's always the same. I mean aren't they practically good for you?? No fat in the marshmallows and a non-sugared rice cereal as the cruchy-goodness base--you can't go wrong!

I would have to say I enjoy the classic recipe the best, but I have been known to mix it up a little. Whether just for fun or lack of ingredients at the time. A few, but not all, of my variations are M&Ms on top, Rice Chex (smashed) instead of Rice Krispies, choc. chips in the marshmallows, Fruity Pebbles or Cocoa Crispies, etc. So, today I was thinking out loud about which treats do I make for my Activity Day girls night. Of course I landed on the favorite and I said out loud "well since I don't have enough marshmallows, maybe this time I will make the peanut butter-chocolate kind" and Matthew says:

"Wow, you are the most creative Rice Krispy Treats maker I have ever met!"

I will take the compliments wherever I can get them!

Funny

Today I told the kids that they could earn a chance to see the real fireworks tomorrow (I haven't let any of them stay up for them yet) by cleaning their rooms and the basement without complaining and they did a good job. So tonight I am working on the computer and the kids are playing nicely for once today and from the other room I hear Daniel say:

"WHAT?! We just cleaned up this place, now its messy again?!"

Gotta love it!
