Our Bountiful Basket

I am so excited about this food co-op.  First time today and this is what we took home.  Doesn't it look yummy?  Erin, you need to join too.

7-up Biscuits

I have had this biscuit recipe on my counter for a week and just tried it today.  They are
so wonderfully soft and yummy.  It's from http://www.plainchicken.blogspot.com/
7 UP BISCUITS

2 C. Biscuick
1/2 C. sour cream
1/2 C 7 - up
1/4 C. melted butter
Cut sour cream into biscuit mix, add 7-up.  Makes a very soft dough.  Sprinkle additional
biscuit mix on board and pat dough out with hands.  Melt 1/4 C. butter in a 9 inch square
pan.  Place cut biscuits in pan and bake at 450 degrees until golden brown.  (10-15 min)
(I cut my biscuits with a pizza cutter and worked great.  They are very soft.)
Enjoy!.  Let me know how you like them.   Wyoming honey is the best on these biscuits.

Come Over for Soup

These really are homemade noodles. 

Running, and Running

Here is Erin and Jeremy almost to the end of the

half marathon.  I drove down to cheer them on.  It started at the Valley Y and ended at Riverfront park.   Way to go E&J!!

The Finish

Home at Last

This is the day kristi came home
from the hospital. 

School program

We were invited to attend a music program put on by all of the 2nd grade kids.  Mercer did very well singing and the songs were fun to listen to.   It was such a great program.
Glad we were able to attend.  Mercer is in the white shirt. 

Meeting the Wranglers

Sat. night we took Andy and Gavan to see the Bar J Wranglers up in Salem.  The FFA put on the show for a fund raiser.  It was very good and of course, Dad was in heaven.
Here he is having them sign his cd he had just purchased.

Playing at the park

Play day at the park

Kristi's first outing - hanging out at a kid's park that was close by.
Lots of fun toys there and a very pretty day.  I think the boys really liked  swinging the best.

Time in Weston

On our way home we stopped in Weston to put flowers on graves.
The family that lives on my grandparents property had a mother goat with 3 very young babies that were all white.  They were so cute. 

Dancing with Carli

There was this very good song playing and I just had to pick her up and start dancing.  She loved it and especially turning around and around.  

The Circus Stare

The best thing about the circus I think was watching the kids'
faces.

Circus

We took Scott and Grant to the Shriner's Circus and met Erin and Av and Bodee there.  It was really a fun circus.  Grant just had to wear the green hat.   He claims it's his "lucky hat".  Somehow he needed that for the circus???

Pack Meeting

Erin and Avery and papa J went to pack meeting.
Avery got his Bobcat and papa took pictures.
I stayed home with Carli and Bodee.  He was really
excited for this Pack Meeting.  He's not quite 8 yet but
officially in.
Afterwards the kids went outside and did some races. I will try to get that onto a video.  It was pretty fun to watch.We sure are proud of all our little scouts. I know Erin will post these but I just had to get this one done.

We watched Bodee and Carli while Erin and Avery went to Pack Meeting.  This little boy was dressed in a army camaflog costume and then a cowboy costume.
You gotta understand that today it was Army, cowboy and Indiana Jones all together.   Now that's an
imagination.  He's quite the character.

Playing Time with Carli

Carli at my house.  I let her play with Mindy's standup toy and she loved all the sounds and buttons.  I hope you don't mind Mindy.   I will take good care of it because I know Jack will use it soon.
