Dear Moms:
Did you see Oprah the other day? (Nanc, I know you did) Jerry Seinfeld's wife, Jessica Seinfeld, who is super adorable, has a new cookbook. It's all about using vegetable puree in EVERYTHING you cook/bake in order to get your kids eating veggies but without fighting with them about it. But you know what else it's good for? Me! And other grownups who don't like a lot of vegetables. This might change my life.
I wondered about how many servings of veggies these recipes include, she only puts 1/2 cup in each, so sometimes you're not even getting a full serving. I found this out on Oprah.com, there are recipes and videos there. Definitely worth looking at. Also, she did say that she gives her kids vegetables on the plate, but now she doesn't have to nag because she knows they are eating it in their mac n' cheese.
And then that Doctor guy was on after Jessica Seinfeld, talking about why kids don't like vegetables. He said something about cavemen(children) and then he talked about "white kids." It was not news to me, or probably to most of us who spend time with children. They're the kids who only eat or prefer white food. Here's one:
Genevieve only likes to eat white food, hence the vanilla ice cream (although I've heard she has extended her prejudice to wheat bread). She is too cute. Here is Rob's other niece, Annalise (I may not be spelling their names right. Rob?). As you can see, she is okay with chocolate sauce on her white ice cream.
about four years ago at the Alderwood 1st Ward auction mom and dad bought a caricature drawing of our family from someone in the ward who is an illustrator. today on our door step mom found a framed illustration of our family(well not everyone) leaning against the door. here is what the farrar bunch looks like animated(and scanned in). can you guess who is who?

okay, so in the first picture I'm trying to attempt the classic "before" picture on makeovers... people always look so depressed, if they would have just smiled and put on some makeup they would already look a ton better. Then I took this next picture, after I had done my hair and was sad, for real, about the pending departure of my long long hair.
I like it.
Rob with his niece, Genevieve, having some fun at the tiny little mall downtown. We went on a carousel ride in the same mall just before this.
Here is a cute one of us on the balcony of the hotel room. I really should have gotten a picture of the room, which was more like a house that I want to someday live in than a hotel room. I think that leaving that hotel room was one of the reasons we were sad that we had to leave early. The other reasons were because work and school were waiting back in Seattle for us, and we had such a great time with his family!
gosh. leah is always texting. i feel like that is all she does these days. i feel like she cares more about texting than she cares about me.
leah sat with mark for a long time watching conference and of course her favorite part was when the choir sang, she would get up real close to the tv when it was their turn.
Outback messed up a couple steaks, we got free cheesecake.
