2nd Edition Family Cookbook!

Hello everyone! I am retyping our family cookbook this year because I couldn't find my saved copy. I am also doing it a little different this time. It will be 8x10 format and fit just in a binder. The pages will be in loose sleeves so they last longer and if the binder is too bulky, you can take out the one page you are using. This will make it easier to add future recipes the next time we update it. I can just print the new one instead of doing them all again. So, I need everyone to email me any new recipes. I know you all have some because I hear all the time about new things everyone makes. My email address is christy_na_na@yahoo.com. I am also including a section on Holiday Ideas. This is for fun recipes but also any cute ideas for crafts, table settings, etc. Maybe I'm the only one who draws blanks when I think about this but I could use all the help I can get! Example: Dinner in A Pumpkin, Graveyard cake. Please get these to me soon so I can get this done for everyone. Thanks to all.
P.S. Shane is also welcome to contribute and anyone else. We wont think any less of the male gender for taking an interest.

Million Dollar Golf Shot

The Story

Well, since Jeff had to go and post something above my announcement, I figured I had to post something to get my glory back. So, this is how it all went down.

We decided to go golfing, which we have been meaning to do for a long while. We went to Rose Park golf course near Kirk & Christy's. I had decided that I would put the ring in the 9th hole so when she made her put she could find the ring and we would still get our full game in. The only problem was, I would have to leave the ring in the box so it didn't get lost or damaged, although that made it easier for her to see. It was a risk I was willing to take.

About hole #7 I was thinking I had made a huge mistake. Needless to say, we are not professional golfers and couldn't make any of our putts. I realized it would be a disaster when she went to putt and it took her 3 shots. She would see it too soon for sure.

So, along came the 9th green. I had to get her to slow down while I went and found my ball, so I told her to wait and we would have a competition on the final hole, the loser of course would have to buy drinks. I went and removed the flag, ever so slyly placing the ring and box in the hole. I went first and missed my putt but quickly hit my ball in the last 6 inches.

That is when the miracle happened. The heavens were opened and Tamara sank her putt from about 12-15 feet. After the day's putting, I am sure it was divine intervention that got the ball in the hole. She was pretty excited about that and was already celebrating as she went to pick her ball up out of the hole. When she got there she bent down about halfway before she just stopped and stared.

I was of course kneeling down next to her now and I picked up the ring since she didn't seem to want to pick it up herself. She didn't really say anything, but started hugging me and freaking out, so I figured that counted as a yes.

Thank you all

Well, I am glad to announce that tomorrow mom and dad's loan will be paid off that we have been paying on for the last couple of years. Thank you all for doing that, mom and dad are very thankful. For those of you who are depositing money automatically, you may want to stop the transfers. Or, I know we talked about using it as a reunion account if you wanted to, but we never committed on anything. Just know that the loan is paid off and mission is accomplished. Thanks again!

hooray!

Congratulations Remington! We are so excited for you and Tamara!! I think you should post a detailed account of the engagement for all to enjoy.

Brock's First Stitches

So, we were over having dinner at a friends house with the missionaries tonight and then I had to go to my geneology class. About 30 min. into my class, Ann Syphus shows up with blood on her sweater and hands. She at least had a smile so I knew it wasn't life threatening. I guess Brock fell off her chair and hit his head on her granite fireplace. So I left my class and we all four went to an instacare.He had cut it clear down to the skull. It was actually interesting to see the doctor move the cut around and see about four inches of the bone underneath. The girls took this in stride but one of us, I wont name names, had to look away. So there were four stitches underneath and eight on top. It was a nasty gash so I guess we were okay taking him in. I was just thinking yesterday that it was supprising he hadn't had any bumps or cuts we've had to worry about. We'll post a picture, since I know you're all dying to see, tomorrow. Unfortunatly, we didn't get one before the stitches.
Everyone else is doing great. Kirk is excited about starting school next week. The summer has flown by! Love to all.

Hello everyone. Just saying hi. It has been awhile for posting so I figured we could start it up again. We got back to Alabama safely and as soon as we stepped off the plane we both thought we wanted to be back in the west again. So we can't visit anymore because then we don't want to come back. Thank you again Kirk and Christy for the car. You guys are awesome and we want you to know that it was really appreciated. Also we had a lot of fun thank you Jeff and Kristen for planning a great reunion. We can't wait for the next one (that we can't come to if you have read previous sentences). But now that everyone is back and settled in, you can start posting again. Congrats on the twins coming home and hope all is well there. As well as Sadie, she is in our prayers and hope that things are going well in Wyoming or at least progressing. Love you all and START POSTING. We love to hear even little things in your lives.

To whoever Adam Baum is...

I hereby cordially invite you to not post any comments on our blog, save your apology to my little brother. In the first place, you do not know any of us, so this really isn't too much of your business. Secondly, you don't know the person that you so directly insulted, nor understand his sense of humor, so you have simply made yourself laughable and silly, rather than whatever image you thought you were conveying. That's about as nice as I can be on that score.
