Wouldn't you know we had "dessert" first for April fools.... Gotta love the chocolate icecream cones (refried beans with tostada shell cones) with whip cream (sour cream) and a cherry (cherry tomato). Gotta love that lime sherbert (guacamole). Do we just love food in this house or what?
After "dessert" we had our "main meal". Hamburgers (vanilla wafers, grasshopper mint cookies and frosting), chicken strips (twix covered in coconut), and french fries (sugar dusted roll).
Relief Society was a dessert fest where each person brought a dessert to share that "described" them. Lani made a beehive with bees.... Very cute. She is one of the most industrious, always up to something good, people I have ever met. Did I mention to you that we like food in this household?
I can't believe that we (we in the sense of "she" mostly and "me" not so much)are sooooo skinny for how much we like food. Some of us are skinnier than others.....
12 years of wonderful (if you ask me) marriage. We took a trip to Montana/Northern Idaho for our anniversary. It was a blast to ditch the kids (thanks Nate and Carol, you survived!) and figure out, after 12 years of marriage, if we were going to finally "grow up" and settle down.
Life is fabulous. I am the most blessed person on the planet. I don't completely comprehend why I am so blessed.... if my wife get on here and sees this post she will tell you that when I think about food and Mrs. C, I get very happy and go on and on about how good life is.

What more could a guy ask for than great food and the pinnacle of woman for a wife. Did I ever mention how much I like homemade salsa?
While up north we finally got to visit the "Prince" Conner, for the first time. He is so cute and his dad isn't that bad looking either....Conner and I hit it off right away. I am very happy to say I was found in his good graces to be an acceptable member of the family (distant tho it be).
I pinned on Major this week (after being selected like 1.5 years ago). My co surgeon's wife made this delicious cake (I know another food reference).
It was hard to restrain myself. I guess my military officer's bearing (which means you shouldn't be too much of a cut up or nerd or silly because it doesn't reflect well on the office which one holds) needs some work.... at least that is what my superiors keep tell me. It is hard to act respectable, noble, and honorable when you grew up in a no stoplight town, peeing off your front porch (which was a plywood porch on the front of the trailer), catching grasshoppers, catching crawdads in the ditch, and wearing boots to church...... I'm a lost cause.

I kept reading the word "pinnacle" as "pineapple". I thought why did he call his wife a pineapple. Anyways, congrats on the promotion Major. Next time you see Caleb you should make him do some push ups just to keep him humble.
Before Colton gets a hold of this post and passes out for all the bad grammar, I am sorry. I know that adverbs are just adjectives ending in -ly. All the institutions of which I hold little pieces of paper saying I graduated from them, are trying ferverishly to recall such endorsements....
I would accept the word pineapple for pinnacle. Same thing and it is a very tasty substitution!
Oh, whatever. I'm not THAT much of a grammar Nazi. Its not that it BOTHERS me; I usually only say something when its funny. For instance, Sasha just put "asses" instead of "assess" in her latest post. I'm far from perfect myself.
I liked this post, by the way. I don't think women really understand how true the adage is that says "The way to a man's heart is through his stomach". Although I'm not getting any thinner these days, and that is ALL me.
Congratulations on everything. You are a lucky man; I hope the Lord has half those blessings in store for me.
Congrats for well alot of things. First a good wife that makes good food...12 years of marriage, that is awesome. Pinning on Major...Ryan will get there soon. But what I am most jealous of is you getting to love on Conner- I haven't had that chance yet and it is killing me!! I hope you kissed him enough for the both of us!!
Fun food! I sure miss you guys! I have to agree - Lani is so amazing! I could also go on and on about her wonderful food...
Ha! I got my own blogger identity, now Sherdon can get his own facebook!
Thanks for all the flattery, and yes, I am very aware that the way to a man's stomach is through his mouth. When Sherdon and I were dating and a song with the word LOVE came on, he would always replace it with "LUNCH".
Oh, and Jackie, YOU are the most AMAZING food person I know. You are my inspiration!
You have officially made me HUNGRY! I like your homemade salsa too!!!! Congratulations on 12 years of marriage....that is awesome. I think you both look just like you did way back when too!
12 years ago you convinced Lani to marry you and since that point you've pretty much been rolling in the blessings :) You should teach a class on how to find a good wife!
wow 12 years! I can't wait to see the picture when you have to take the shoes off to show us! congrats!
Yeah! An update!!
And I agree, your wife is awesome, and so is great food...(though the wife is more awesome than the great food).
I thought the great wife and great food were a package deal..... can't have one without the other?
Congratulations on everything. You guys are the cutest couple ever! And I want to marry Lani too, for many reasons, especially that awesome April 1 dinner.
Hey Sherdon,
Good to hear that you are enjoying life, you deserve it. I am jealous of your trip to N Idaho. Thats good compound land there, my kind of folks. Hope you had fun sans kids. And good job on pinning on 0-4, I will be doing it next month, how did you beat me to it?
Mike
Wow!! Amazing post my "Majorly" awesome and wonderful Brother!
Congrats on 12 years, too!!
Lani IS amazing, but I already knew that. :)
So of course I wasnt surprised to see an amazing cake and April fools dinner, such as that one..WAAAAAAY COOL!!!!!
and I may have to steal that idea sometime.
Tell Lani how awesome I think she is and how much I love her for being in our family.
and congrats to you..I'm SO very proud of you!!!
xoxoxo
Hey, how close are you to Fort Hood or Fort Sill? I'm going to Hood in a couple months and Sill in December. Just wondering if I might get to come see you guys or if it is really far.
hey! Good to hear from you! I can't imagine 4 of anything, just exhausting! I was actually peed on just last night when I took Ryan to the bathroom at 3am. Lovely! We are excited, if not just for McKenna, she will have a little friend to grow up with all things pink and princess! And by the way, you mentioned a few years ago about checking out Prescott to eventually end up, and my mom wanted me to let you know that she was at the dentist yesterday and was bragging about her super smart nephew who is a dental surgeon, among other things and the dentist said Prescott REALLY needs a guy like you in the area. There is NOBODY and they have to refer everyone to Phoenix. Only a 90 mile drive, but sucks when you have to drove that way home in pain? Think about it some more and when you are finished with your commitments and all in Texas, come check us out! Hope to see you at the reunion? I hear Hannah will be there! Sorry about the long message, if I had your email...
I'm sorry you did all that for my paper and I didn't tell you I had to turn it in earlier, I just thought you were busy and didn't have time to work on it. Sorry.
Loved seeing you and Lani in April and feel priveledged you spent a fraction of your anniversary with me. Have you unveiled your final destination yet?
