Pigs in a blanket and a Mission

It's really Sunday February 1st, but since I need to catch up on my blog and we're all home sick from church, I'm traveling back in time to share this story:
Andrew and Sydney helped make Mini Pigs in a blanket today. We made them with lil' smokies and they turned out great! This comes from one of my favorite online recipe sites, Recipezaar. They loved mixing up the dough and rolling up the smokies into the little blankets. Usually, Sydney is my shadow in the kitchen. She loves to help me cook and bake. Whenever I get out the mixer or put a pot on the stove, she drops whatever she's doing and pushes a chair up next to me! This time Andrew wanted to help too, which usually ends in a fight over who gets to stand next to me or mix the ingredients or whatever, but they both had fun rolling up the dogs in the dough.
Also, my parents received their mission call to go to Elberta, Utah, at the Mosida Lodge. Their official title is "agricultural missionaries." I didn't even know that existed. So, they maintain the farm and help all the people that go to push handcarts around during the summer. They are going to report, June 1st so make your hand cart trek reservation quick! We'll be moving into their house in Auburn and we are really excited about that. The kids will have so much fun running around on the farm and taking care of the chickens. Finally, Dave will be able to wear his bib overalls and bolo tie to church (well, I guess that goes for my dad too).
