Portal 2 Party

 

Shantell and I have been looking forward to playing Portal 2 for months now. It is a hilarious sci-fi puzzle/adventure game with amazing graphics and physics. We pre-ordered it on Amazon and got it Tuesday (the day it came out). We played it all night on Tuesday and then beat it on Wednesday. It’s a great game!

You should play it.

Shantell even came up with the great idea of making Portal Pancakes for dinner on Tuesday. MMMmmm.

You might notice that there are TWO kinds of syrup.  Cold Mrs. Butterworth’s for me and warm Log Cabin for her.  Pancakes just aren’t the same without the proper syrup and we each prefer the syrup we grew up with.

Here’s a preview of Portals 2 in case you haven’t heard of it.  We loved it!

Kitty Torture

Daniel Likes to play with Fiero. Fiero likes to play… but not with Daniel.

Fetch!

The actions of older siblings have a huge influence on their younger siblings.  If you’re like Daniel and your older brother is a cat, you’re bound to pick up some interesting tricks.  Daniel has been known to bite like the cat, growl like the cat and even chase laser pointers like the cat.  A couple of days ago he mastered the cat’s best trick yet, Daniel has officially learned how to play fetch Fiero style!  We even caught it on video!

Milling around…literally!

Last week after general conference I couldn’t sleep because I was thinking that Eric and I really needed to get some sort of food storage.  The next day my mom called me to tell me she dreamt about food storage.  Taking it as a sign we finally decided to follow the prophet and get started on our food storage!  Our first purchase was a hand wheat grinder that we’ll be able to grind stored wheat with even if the power goes out.  We were really excited abut it and have already made two batches of half wheat cinnamon rolls. 

This is our “Eric powered” wheat grinder.  It’s actually pretty fast when he’s working the crank!
