There are many things that our family really enjoys. We thought we would share a few of them (in no specific order) so you and your families could enjoy them too!
Laurie Berkner
A fun children's singer who has got our girls pretending to be dancing dinosaurs, goldfish, and baseball batters. Her music is creative and very danceable. We have her dvd too which the girls really like to watch. Their favorites are "The Goldfish Song" "I'm Gonna Catch You" and "We are the Dinosaurs."
Charlie and Lola
(Note: For greater effect, read this first sentence in a British accent) Charlie has a little sister named Lola who is small and very funny. Ben can't help but get groovy to the theme song. This brother and sister duo is incredibly contagious. Lauren Child, their creator, has written books and developed a children's cartoon series as well. We love both the books and shows. You will be able to see more episodes on YouTube as well.
They got Evelyn to eat "green drops" (peas) and "moon squirters" (tomatoes) like crazy. One day all Evelyn wanted for lunch was green drops and she ate them all!
Evelyn's vocubulary has definately increased and she frequently says: absolutely, extremely, and speaks often with her own version of a British accent.
We just ordered a book called "Sizzles is Absolutely Not Here" Sizzles is a dog who Lola loves to tend. It's a lift-the-flap book. We're very excited.

Fancy Nancy by Jane O'ConnorFor all of you who have little girls who love to be fancy as much as our girls do, these books are a MUST! From writing with plumes, sprinkles on ice cream to posh puppies, Nancy proves that sandwiches really do taste better with frilly toothpicks!
Starfall.comAn educational website that helps children to read without them even knowing it! Evelyn REALLY loves this and asks all day if she can play starfall. Along with letters and their sounds, she has also learned about poetry, great composers like Tchaichovsky, Joplin, and Mozart, she has learned about plays, words, and even how flowers grow. I highly recommend the website.
Martha Stewart Everyday Food MagazineBen and I subscribe to this delightful delivery that comes once a month into our mailbox. We immediately go through and plan a week's worth of meals from it and go shopping. Almost all of the recipies we have tried have been "This is a keeper" or "We'll have to have this one when we have company" recipies. We have really liked all of the soups we have tried, the vegetable side dishes, and many many many of the main courses. All of the recepies are online. Give 'er a try!
Rexburg Nature ParkI realize that not all of you can enjoy this wonderful place. It is only a half-mile from our home. I think the ducks are too large from all of the community feeding to fly south! We have a great time visiting them. Here is proof:
The ducks are a little overwhelming and so Ben and Jon had a good time encouraging the ducks to approach Noelle (sister-in-law from AZ who got to visit for a weekend) and Nicole by throwing bread at their feet.
We hoped you liked a few of our favorite things.
What are some of your favorite things?

Thanks for sharing all those wonderful ideas! You are full of great advice! I will have to check out that website for sure!!!!
Those duck are extremely intimidating!!! I'll admit that I am a little terrified of them myself!! I use Evelyn as an excuse to stay away from them, Or i'll just use the umbrella to keep them at a safe distance!!
