You know you live in an inversion zone when...

... you hear something like this. 

In PE today, the kids were all running around and a boy came up to me, all out of breath.  Huffing and puffing, he said, "I guess the air quality in here is pretty bad.  I can hardly breathe!"

Rock Star

Spencer is a rock star.  

He's in a band with some of his buddies, and just last week they performed at the wedding reception of the band's lead guitarist.  This will be the band's last performance for a while, as the guitarist who just got hitched is moving to Texas.  They all did a great job on their farewell performance.  Spencer sang "Guardian Angel" during the bride and groom's first dance together. 






He then played bass for the remainder of the songs.





The reception had an 80's rock theme, so I wore my most rockin' outfit - black skirt, black and grey top, leopard print scarf, fishnet stockings, and my red high heels.  Thank goodness for the stockings and heels because my wardrobe just does not lend itself to rock and roll!  Spencer wore a disheveled white button up shirt, jeans, and a blue swirly-patterned tie. 

Here we are with the rest of the band and all the wives.


 We look pretty good, right?


Now, back to the fishnet stockings. 



While the band was performing, there were lots of little kids dancing around to the music.  A curly-haired three year old boy was dancing past me, then stopped and walked over.  Rubbing his hands on my leg, he said, "You have nets."  

"Yep," I replied. 

Rubbing further up and down my leg, he said, "Why do you have nets?"

"Because they're cool.  Do you like them?"

"Yeah," he answered.  Then, after another rub up and down my leg, he was off to dance the night away.

yummy.

My brother Adam made fried bananas during our trip to Zion National Park a few weeks ago,and they were so good I had to try making them myself. 

These are delicious, and super easy.  Just buy some egg roll wraps.

(These are found in the refrigerated produce section of the grocery store.)

Wrap half or 1/3 of a banana in a wrap and deep fry until brown.  Immediately dip them in a cinnamon sugar mix.  Serve with chocolate sauce.  We happened to have caramel and whipped cream, so we added that to the mix.



Since we had the wraps, we made some cream cheese chicken rolls for dinner.  They were okay.  I just threw some veggies in with shredded chicken, cream cheese, and seasonings.
