Treats. Treats, Treats

Just a few of the things I have been cooking up.

Mater cake for my nephews birthday. This is my first attempt at homemade fondant, and first attempt at a 3D cake. I am no artist, but it was recognizable by the birthday boy, so that is all that matters.

Homemade butterfinger candies. The recipe is floating all over the internet. Super easy - only 3 ingredients. It is ok, but the real deal is better.

Chicken Verde Loaf. It wasn't too bad.

Mini pizza bites. Made like a cinnamon roll but with pizza ingredients. These were really good.

Since it is rainy outside, I want something with cinnamon and apples or pumpkin. Hum... I am off to see what I can find!

Crayon Cozy

I have seen these around church. Decided to try one out. A crayon cozy to keep crayons from getting all over. I really like how it turned out.

A Month, Really?

Ok, I kind of understand it has been so long. School started again, and I am too tired to do anything. But I do have a couple of highlights from weeks past that might be fun. Probably not for you, but whatever.

We had birthday dinner that was really delish, shish kabobs with blackberry cobbler.

I made peanut butter bars for my brother in laws birthday. They were really yummy.

We also went to the State Fair. We had a good time.

J holding the extra large bag of popcorn. He loved looking at the animals - from a distance.

We went and saw the healing field. It was really neat.

I am taking photography lessons, so here are the three homework pictures I am submitting from this week. It is so much fun!

School Days...

We are officially back in to school. One week down, many to go.
I made these little apples for a couple of some teacher friends. I love how they turned out (even though the pictures aren't the greatest!)

THE "Y"

We hiked to the "Y" on the mountain this week. It isn't a very far hike, just .81 miles, but man it is steep!!! It took longer to get down than it did to get up. A beautiful view of the city. Took tons of pictures trying all different settings. Too bad I can't remember what they were! Anyway, we had a fun time!

The white in the corner is the "Y" you can see the Provo Temple in the mid right.

One of "his favorite places to be..." the football stadium!

Tuachan

We spent the last couple of days down south. Went to these two plays. They were fantastic!!! Had a good time at the shows, shopping, eating and hiking.










We got a giant rock in our windshield one of the days. So, we had to take it in and get it fixed, before it split anymore. It was as big as a silver dollar. Luckily, we got it taken care of really quickly. Other than this, we had a great time!!

Odds and Ends...

I have two weeks worth to make up. I was out of town with family, and had a great time.

At my parents house. They bought him a little pool. He liked more to fill up it and play in the water from the hose than the pool itself.


Just having some fun.

We spent a week at Lake Tahoe. It was beautiful and cool weather. It was hard to leave.


While I was at home with my family, P was in China with his brother.


They spent 10 days touring around. Looks like they had a great time too. Although his pictures and stories are neat, I don't think I belong there. Glad he got the chance to go.
