Josh and I love Crunchy Peter Pan Peanut Butter. When we got on WIC, we were happy to find out that they didn't care what brand of peanut butter we chose it just had to be 18oz. A couple of weeks ago I went to the store to use one of our WIC checks. When I got to the peanut butter aisle, I saw only Peter Pan jars with yellow lids. I assumed it was all creamy since the peanut butter companies usually color code the lids for creamy and crunchy, and Peter Pan's crunchy peanut butter has a red lid. I went back today and realized that it wasn't all creamy. They changed the packaging. So now all the lids are yellow and you better make sure you read the label to make sure you're getting what you want!
I was so excited that they had crunchy that I grabbed a jar to go check out. When I got to checkout though, the computer said that it wasn't a WIC item. She called some young guy over who said that it had to be creamy peanut butter. Josh and I would never buy creamy and never had so I knew that wasn't the reason. I told him that I always got crunchy and never had any problems. He insisted it had to be creamy. Then he said it had to be Great Value brand. I have nothing against Great Value since it comes from the same place, but Josh and I always by Peter Pan unless it is unavailable. So I also knew that this wasn't true. I told him that we always got Peter Pan, and he insisted that it had to be Great Value brand. I whipped out my handy-dandy WIC "brochure" which shows that my peanut butter can be any brand as long as it is 18oz.
That is where we noticed that the jar I had grabbed was only 16.3oz. Apparently the new jar design provides less room for its delicious peanut butter. I was so disappointed. He asked if I would like him to go grab a jar of Great Value. I said sure. So I waited for him to return the Peter Pan jar and return with the extremely generic-looking Great Value jar. When he returned I noticed the red lid on the Great Value jar which unlike Peter Pan is the color code for creamy. This made me very angry that he would deprive me of crunchy peanut butter because he thought WIC wouldn't cover it. What like crunchy is less healthy than creamy??? However... there was already another person behind me who had put her things on the counter and as soon as the peanut butter was scanned I would be all done. Also the baby was starting to get fussy since it was almost time to eat, AND I had to pee so bad that it outweighed the importance of being crunchy which is really saying something.
So now I have a jar of creamy peanut butter that I have to use... I am very upset with Peter Pan for shrinking their jars.... I still love them though.

Miss Amanda Baptism
Miss Amanda Baptism and some family members. You will notice Benjamin is not present. He went with Roger's family so he could show them how to get to our church as the Baptism was at the Stake Center. Unfortunatley I left the camera home after the baptism and before going to the our ward building and so I did not get everyone who came to Amanda's baptism and ate after.

This is the Place - Freezing cold
We went to "This is the Place" and froze to death as we waited on the train to take us around the village. Having lived in Alabama for so long we have forgotten how to dress warm. Look at Anthony he was so ready to go home and be warm. Poor baby:(
Inside preparing to eat
We went inside to eat a small bowl of chili and bread before our freezing experience
Finally getting warm
After waiting on the train for 30 min and getting know where, we finally decided to walk over to the Huntsman Hotel to get some 'hot' chocolate.
FRESH!!
Hands off the merchandise
Amanda with Kris Kringle
This picture made it all worth the freezing. We headed here just before leaving this wonderful winderland of cold. We also thought we had lost Tyler--he seems to get busy looking around and forgets to make sure he is with the right group of people.
