Yarn Doll

Summer made a yarn doll at the Liberty Lake Library today. It's the cutest thing ever. She was awesome. The LL Library is the coolest library in the world. The people are great, they have so many things going on. We love going there. :)

Day at the Pool

Went to Erica's pool on Thursday. It was a nice change from the lake. The kids had so much fun and Erica, Andrea and I were able to talk. Which sometimes doesn't happen when you have so many kids running around. Some big highlights were Conrad liked "jumping" into the pool, Summer and the other big kids are part fish, and little miss Elizabeth took steps. :) I think everyone got too much sun, but it was a great time.

Makes 3 dozens triangles

2/3 c IMPERIAL Spread, softened       4 eggs

2 1/2 c granulated sugar       1/3 fresh lemon juice

2 1/3 c all-purpose flour      2 Tbsp. grated lemon peel

In large bowl, with electric mixer. beat IMPERIAL Spread and 1/2 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in 2 cups flour until fine crumbs form. Press into prepared pan. Bake uncovered 20 minutes.
     Meanwhile, in medium bowl, with electric mixer, beat eggs, remaining 2 cups granulated sugar, remaining 1/3 cup flour, lemon juice and lemon peel 4 minutes or until light and fluffy; pour over hot baked crust. Bake an additional 25 minutes or until lemon mixture is just set. On wire rack, cool completely. Using foil, lift out of pan. Spray knife with nonstick cooking spray and cut into triangles. To serve, sprinkle generously with Confectioner's sugar.
        I got this recipes off a box of IMPERIAL butter sticks. When I made them I didn't have the oven at 350*, I had it at 275* so it took awhile. Kim came over, then my mom, then we had to leave for a dinner. So I took it out and baked it at the right temp. when we came back and oddly enough it turned out really good!!

4th of July Pictures

The 4th was great! Family, friends, neighbors, food, sunshine, fireworks.... really I could go on but I won't. It was a great busy, fun filled day. :)

Sunday BBQ



We had a great BBQ at Reggie's parents house on Sunday. We colored with chalk, played with Mike the dog, ate some great food and hung out. I'm very lucky to have in-laws that are amazing. My kids are lucky to be so close to all their grandparents. :)
