Just wanted to document one of our favorite breakfasts. Jimmy does an awesome job making these. Growing up we called these Rahn’s Pancakes because we got the recipe from my uncle Rahn (dad’s brother). My friend Katie calls these Hootenanny’s. Whatever we call them, they are tasty, tasty. Sprinkle a little powdered sugar and syrup […]
Scotty (2014) & Abraham (2004) in the same outfit. Both have a little reddish in their hair at this point. What do you think? sidenote: Scotty was 10 lbs at 10 weeks old. His cheeks are starting to get chubby (well, as chubby as Scotty ever is!). Two weeks are his collar-bone break, his bone […]
Last week we went to visit Great-Grandma Beck at her new home in Cedar Hills. We had poor timing as she was in church and we had to rush home for Jimmy to go home teaching. We said hello with a hug… and good-bye with a kiss. Short but sweet. Scotty got to meet Grandma […]
Thursday – I was able to go to the Oquirrh Mountain temple to do 5 initiatory names for family… 3 on Jimmy’s side from Georgia… 2 on my side from Norway. I am so very grateful for the promises and blessings in the initiatory. So grateful! Such a good reminder that when we are righteous, […]
Our order from Bithell Farms came in. This year we got 14 lb of Raspberries (best ever – really!) and 14 lbs Blueberries. They come flash frozen and we separate them into smaller baggies so they don’t freeze solid as a rock after a while. We use these on crepes, waffles, Scandinavian Fruit Soup, in […]
I’m not even sure what to say about this? these are my children. and jimmy’s too, of course. this is the face abe made in sacrament meeting – while sitting on the front row – right in front of the Bishop and Stake President… (who luckily were both boys themselves once upon a time) on […]
For Truman’s birthday, he got a ‘science experiment’ to do with mom. We finally got around to doing it. Liza and Truman liked squirting the gooey liquids into the jar. They don’t have a perfect suspension for the stars (liza’s is too thick, truman’s too runny), but they glow and are fun. Ingredients: Durable plastic […]
For Pack Meeting this week, Abe went to the City Hall. He got to be the Mayor, Bert Wilson, for a little bit. Abe is doing great in Scouts. He’s the only Webelo right now so he gets extra special attention from his leaders. He will earn his Webelo in January and will finish up […]
I keep hoping Scotty’s eyes will stay blue. Right now they are pretty close to the color of this blue-ish/grey outfit. We’ll see what they do over the next few years. Hannah had blue eyes for almost 2 years and then they turned brown. Doesn’t he look tired here! Poor wee babe.
Miss Hannah and I went to Young Women in Excellence tonight. I love the 2014 Youth Theme of Come Unto Christ! Hannah is the only blonde YW in our ward if you can believe that. She is darling and such a sweet girl! She reminds us she will be 18 and leaving home in 6 […]
