Winter Wonderland

We decided to take some family pictures after church. The new snow was just too beautiful to pass up. Thanks to Ashley we have some great pictures. I love the way the pictures of Brennon and Addi turned out.

Weekend Fun

Our weekend started with Bren's Flag football game on Saturday morning. It was the championship game and I'm sad to report that they lost. They all seemed to have a fun season though. Way to go Hornshwaglers (this was there team name)! After the game we loaded up and headed for Salt Lake. We had called and invited our friends the Allphins to come down. The boys went to the BYU vs. Michigan State game, While the girls visited a few shops and drove past all the really cool old houses in Salt Lake. After the game we went to temple square. The boys had met up with some of the guys that we went to high school with, so they joined us. We even took a fun picture of all the boys. It was a fun time had by all. Thanks Bill and Nic for making the trek down in the snow.

Thanksgiving

Well....we weren't very good in the picture taking department....but we managed to get a few fun pics. The first is of Trae and I on stuffing duty. Trae was a pretty good helper. He was having a great time tearing up the bread. The second picture is of Gracee (Addi's new cousin) and Addison. There sure is a size difference between these two.... We're a little concerned Addi is not getting enough to eat...what do you think? :)

Our Sweet Addi


Tonight we went to Brennon's flag football game (they won by the way). When we were putting Addi back in the car, she was fast asleep in this postion. I couldn't help but think what a sweet little gift that we were given. She will be 3 months old on Saturday.....time sure does fly.

Murder Mystery

















I know that Halloween was a while ago.... But I still wanted share our Murder Mystery Dinner pictures. On Halloween we got together with some of our friend at our house. I had never done a murder mystery dinner before, so it was a fun experience. Brennon was a Judge and I was a fashion designer from France (hence the beret). We started with some chili and bake potatoes thanks to Melissa. Each person,was given a character to portray in the murder mystery along with information about the characters background and relation to the victim. We ended with some yummie dessert. It was a great time had by all.

For all you Peanut Butter Lovers!

Well, about a week ago Brennon had a bad day. So I decided to make his favorite cookies.... Peanut Butter. I decided to find a recipe on the internet to try. I found this recipe, and decided to try it....Well bren took some cookies to have on his way to school. He called me a few minutes after leaving to tell me that these peanut butter cookies were that best that he had ever had. If you are a peanut butter cookie lover. You should give this recipe a try. Let me know if you like it.

1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 egg
1 1/4 cup flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt

1 Cream the butter for 2 minutes. Add the sugars, cream for 2 more minutes. Mix in the peanut butter and egg. Mix together the dry ingredients - flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Stir into the sugar butter mixture.

2 Wrap dough in plastic and refrigerate at least 3 hours. ( I refrigerated for only about 2 hours and they worked out just fine.)

3 Preheat oven to 375°F. Shape dough into 1 1/4 inch balls. Place about 3 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten in crisscross pattern with a fork. Bake until light brown, 9 to 10 minutes. Cool on baking sheets for a minute; transfer to rack to cool completely.

Makes about 2 dozen cookies.

For chewier cookies, bake at 300°F for 15 minutes.

The Quilt



Well, I decided to share some pictures of my finished quilt, for Addi's room, with everyone. I would say I did pretty well for my first quilt. I finished the quilt before Addi was born, so it's a bit late. Better late then never though.

This is One Sweet Lemon!

Last Sunday Addi wore the new Lemon outfit that her Grandma Lisa bought for her. It's a little big on her, but the way she grows, she'll be too big for it sooner than we know.

You Know What They Say....The Apple Doesn't Fall Far From The Tree.


On Sunday, Bren was taking nap and Addi had fallen a sleep after her feeding. So, I layed her next to her Dad. I went in a while later to check on her, and found the two laying in the same position. What a cute duo!

Halloween Happenings...

We had too many fun Halloween and fall pictures that we wanted to share with everyone, so we decided to make a slide show. Just a short explaination of all of our pictures...
This last Thursday, Ash, Craig, Bren, Addi and I all headed to the pumpkin patch to pick our pumpkins to carve as Jack O' Lanterns. It was a great time. On Friday, we carved our pumpkins. We even had a little pumpkin for Addi. It turned out quite cute, if I do say so myself. Saturday our ward had a Halloween party. Brennon and I dressed up as a cowboy couple and Addi was a horse. Craig and Ashley dress up as the guys on Wayne's World it was so funny how much they looked like them. They ended up winning the best couple costume at the Halloween party. It was quit an eventful and fun weekend. Hope you enjoy!
