Pasta Salad and more!

Thank you to everyone who came to the Baby Shower last Saturday. It was a huge success!
It was so great to be together and get to know each other better.

Some things I learned: If you are 8 1/2 months pregnant you are likely to spill red punch on carpet. And if you do, you should spray the stain with hair spray then rub it with a wet bar of soap. Then just wipe it up!! (Thanks for that tip Joyce!)

The best soap to use for stains on clothing is Fels-Naptha Laundry Bar Soap (Thanks Debbye for that tip. She said you can pick it up at Smiths)

Also, A little competition makes for a lot of laughter.

Last but not least, as women we have a great ability to provide each other with the support system we need! You all ROCK!


Here is the recipe for the Pasta Salad:
Mix together:
1 pound cooked crumbled bacon
chopped green onions (however much you like)
8oz. shredded swiss cheese
1 package cooked pasta (I use bow tie or fussilli)
Dressing:
1 1/2 cup mayo or miracle whip
1/2 cup sugar
2 Tablespoons red wine vinegar
Combine all ingredients and enjoy!

Girl's Night Out

From Laura Walker:

Let's do a Girl's Night Out!
We are trying to shoot for the first Friday night of each month. In April, however, we will be going for the second Friday (April 9th) since the first Friday is on Easter/Conference weekend. Mark it on your calendar if you want to join us!
Take a second to vote on what you want to do for the activity.
Also- there has been some interest expressed in the upcoming Twilight movie (!). We may just have to hit that in June! More details to follow!

EASTER EGG HUNTS

Looking for something to do with the Family next weekend? (In addition to watching conference, of course)
Here's some fun ideas:

*South Jordan's annual Easter Egg and Candy Scramble is set for 9 a.m. Saturday, April 3.

Participants are asked to meet at the south end of South Jordan City Park, 11010 S. Redwood Road. The event is free, and the Easter Bunny and Miss South Jordan will be in attendance.

A fire Engine horn will start the scramble.

* Thanksgiving Point Easter Eggstreme

April 3, 2010
10 am - 3 pm

at Thanksgiving Point Electric Park

admission (you can buy tickets online but they charge an outrageous "handleing fee" so I would just go into the box office at the EMPORIUM and get them. Or pay a few bucks more on the day of the event.

$6/child ($8 week-of event)
$3/adult

Get your punch pass for Utah's largest Easter Egg hunt! Event takes place rain or shine (or snow). Festive Easter eggs are scattered throughout Electric Park, but that’s not all there is to do. The Easter bunny himself will make an apperance, as well as loads of fun activities for egg hunters of all ages.

Some activities include:
• Bean Bag Toss
• Ring Toss
• Kiddy Train
• Egg Hunts
• Easter Crafts
• Balloon Tying
• Easter Relay Races
• Face Painting

Egg Hunt Schedule:
• 11 am (0-3 years)
• 11:30 am (4-6 years)
• 12 noon (7-9 years)
