Family Time

Last weekend after conference, we took a family pictures. We were together with my whole family and it was really fun.

Yummy!

Here are some yummy breadsticks a made a while ago. Aren't they pretty? The pan on the right is the before and the pan on the left is after they were cooked. I did half of the pan with cinnamon sugar and the other half with a spice called salad supreme! They were delicious.

If your interested, here's the recipe! 1 1/2 c. hot water, 2 T. sugar, 1T. yeast, 3 c. flour, and 1/2 tsp. salt. Dissolve water and sugar in a big bowl. Add yeast to water and sugar. Add flour and salt. Knead for 3 min, adding more glour as needed to make dough soft and workable. Cover with dish towel and let rest 10 min. Melt 1/2 cube margarine on large cookie sheet.

Place dough on a floured board and roll into rectangle just smaller than your pan. Cut into 1" strips with pizza cutter or knife. Place each strip, one at a time on sheet and turn to cover both sides with butter. Let rest 10 min. Sprinkle with your favorite toppings!

Clogging Time!

I go to Josie's clogging class every time and believe it or not, she is getting better! She loves it and believe me, if I weren't pregnant right now, I would totally join. It's a blast!

She'll love me for posting this....especially when she is older!

Volunteering

I love to volunteer in my kids' classrooms. It is never easy to get there, but once I go, I love it. I love to see how excited they are to see me. I love to see how they are doing at school and how they listen to their teachers. It is also interesting to see the other kids and how they interact with each other. I really give credit to those who can teach school. It seems so hard to deal with all of those personalites and stregnths/weaknesses. Thank goodness for good teachers!

*I LOVE*

One of my friends has started an "I love" section of her blog that she adds to every now and then. I have been meaning to start, but I haven't been loving too many things lately. Hopefully, this will help me be more cheerful.

*I Love* my awesome husband who does anything for me that he can. I love that Josie is actually getting old enough to have a conversation with about things. I love how handsome Kody is and how he likes he hair to stick up in the front everyday. I love that Tyann is growing up and spending quality time with me while the others are all in school. I love getting a fresh new haircut! I love getting a manicure and/or pedicure! I love eating out. I love listening to fun music. I love being in bed early. I love reading my friends blogs. And I love getting ready for a new baby girl to come!!!

Ultrasound!!

Today one of my presents was that we got to have our ultrasound. It was so fun.

We found out that.......

Yup! Another girl. Kody was really dissapointed. He cried for a while. He didn't want to see the pictures or anything. Good thing we have some time to prepare him. We are just really greatful that everything looked good and measured perfect.

My 30th birthday!

Well, my awesome family went in together to get this awesome present for me. I love it so much. I have been wanting one for a long time and had just never made the plunge to buy one. My sweet husband remembered that I wanted it and got everyone to go in on it. Yesterday I made 5 loaves of honey wheat bread and it turned out awesome! Thanks everyone! We also used the blender to make an awesome milk shake. It was amazing!

Turning 30 hasn't really hit me yet. I have noticed a couple of lines in my forehead (they just couldn't be rinkles, right?) I still feel young. It is when I look at my kids getting bigger and older that I realize that I can't be 24 anymore!
