Kylee's 9th Birthday Luau
Kylee had a really nice birthday luau party on Saturday. There were 24 girls having a blast. The games kept the girls busy for the 3 hours. We all had a great time and Kylee did too.

Chile Lime Chicken Tacos Recipe
I haven't tried this yet, but I found the recipe and it looked really yummy so I thought I'd share!
"The key here is the chile lime chicken burgers which are nicely flavored with cilantro and lime. You don't need to add any more spices. So if you need a good meal in about 20 minutes check this out.
Here are the ingredients you'll need:
* Trader Joe's Chile Lime Chicken Burgers, (these are in the freezer section)
* Fire Roasted Guacamole,(if you have time make my guacamole recipe, you can't beat fresh)
* Trader Joe's Corn Tortillas
* 1 lb. mild cheddar cheese, grate the amount you think you will need
* 1 or 2 cans of cooked pinto beans
* sour cream, optional
* 1/4 cup of vegetable oil per can of beans
Directions:
Start cooking your beans first. Pour one can of cooked beans in a sauce pan and add about 2/3 cup of water, 1/4 cup of oil, pinch of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to medium and boil until you are ready to serve (about 15 to 18 minutes). Turn off the flame and mash with a masher.
Prepare all your condiments next. Grate the cheese, stir the guacamole (if store bought) or make homemade guacamole
(my favorite).
The box of chile lime burgers contains 4 patties and will make about 8 to 10 tacos depending on what all you put in them. I cooked 2 of the burgers and 1 can of beans and it matched up nicely making about 6 tacos.
Cook the burger's according to the directions on the box. When you are ready to serve the tacos, sprinkle water on three corn tortillas and place them on a paper towel in a dish. Cover with another paper towel and cook about 35 seconds on high. Cooking times may vary so adjust as needed.
Take a piping hot corn tortilla and layer your ingredients down the center of the tortilla starting with the beans, then the meat, cheese and finish with a dollup of guacamole and sour cream. These are really tasty. I know your family will enjoy them. My son devoured them."

Easter Weekend
Do we still want to try to make an Easter egg hunt Saturday morning? I was thinking it may be a lot for the little girls after traveling and with Noah & Anissa having to get ready for camping....but we could do whatever. Logan hasn't ever been to one so he's not missing anything. :)
Remainder of the weekend:
Friday night Kurt & I are planning to go the 8pm session at the temple. Mom said she'd babysit for us.
Saturday lunch at Tilden Park (each family pack their own)
If we don't do the Easter egg hunt we can meet before lunch...if we do we'll do the fun stuff after lunch (Little Farm, Steam Trains, merrygoround?). We'll have to coordinate or follow each other in. There isn't cell phone reception inside the park.
Saturday night we'll go out to dinner for mom's birthday. Mom, do you have any suggestions? or at least what type of food sounds good?
Sunday morning--easter egg hunt
Each family brings their own hard boiled eggs (we're making a dozen) and some plastic filled eggs (I just bought like 16)
Church is from 12:30-3:30 (Kurt usually has a meeting at 10:30am...but maybe they'll cancel it?, and I usually try to put Logan down for a nap at 10:15ish)
Easter dinner when we come home.
Assignments:
Rachel & Kurt - pancake mix, spiral cut ham, green salad, Mom's B-day cake
Mom - orange juice, fruit (if we want...I have oranges on my tree), veggies, rolls
Noah & Anissa - eggs (for breakfast), bacon/sausage, potatoes
Am I forgetting anything?

A Day at the Park
It was such a beautiful day we decided to take a walk to the park and have lunch!
Preston loved the little slide. Logan never went down a slide by himself UNTIL today. The funny thing is that he wouldn't go down the little slide--only the middle and big slides. Even funnier...he'd only go backwards. Check out the video on our Keyser Family Blog.
