Flashback...

I was messing around on Facebook yesterday and joined my highschool graduating class... I decided to click on pictures for a giggle. Well I clicked and got the shock of the century! There I was....right in the middle! My History class had taken a trip back East and here was a pic of the group!! I really hadn't thought that much about highscool over the years so get all the gigles you want... I'm still in shock!!! LOL By the way i totally stole the pic from Patty!!

Caitlin

Caits and Kieran

Caitlin is on Spring break and decided to come see us! We are so lucky to have her come. She is such a wonderful part of our family. Emma can't get enough of her big sis! Caitlin is a junior in high school in Gilbert, Arizona. Every once in a while she likes to come to the "cooler" climate! She plays soccer for Higley High School, scoops frozen custard at a Neilsons Custard shop...plays the piano and is an excellent student! She is beautiful inside and out. We cherish every moment spent with her.

The Dog..

I looked out the window and there was Tilly... sunning herself underneath the bird feeder, not a care in the world! Cracked me up.

Whole Wheat Bread

I finally found a whole wheat bread recipe I like! It actually worked.
The bread was edible! (so edible that we have almost eaten both loaves in 3 days!)
I halved the recipe because when I tried the whole recipe my kitchen aid mixer started to smoke and smell funny! OOPS somethings not right so that batch was dumped:)I was so excited to make bread and the result was well worth all the trying! There is nothing better than bread cooking in the oven! YUM!

I found the recipe here
