Anyone want Cinnamon Rolls?

Am I crazy or what? It's 12:10 Sunday morning and instead of sleeping I am blogging about the cinnamon rolls that I just finished making. I was looking through some recipes as I was talking to Ben earlier (9:30p.m.) and came across a recipe for vanilla pudding Cinnamon rolls. It sounded good and I thought it would be fun to try to make them. I have never made cinnamon rolls in my life! I know it's a little late at 9:30 to START making cinnamon rolls but look what happens when your husband is out of town and you get an idea to make something. If anyone wants semi-fresh cinnamon rolls later, come on over! My hips, thighs and stomach will thank you. The funny thing is that cinnamon rolls really aren't one of my favorite things to eat, I just wanted to see if I could make them. The things you do when you have nothing else to do! I know it's stupid but I think my primary class will enjoy my craziness.

Happy 1st Date Anniversary

Can you believe that it's been 14 years since our first date? I had asked Ben to the Sadies dance in high school. We had a wonderful group and did such fun activities. Who could forget the turkey bowling! What good times. Oh to be young and kid less again (only for a day).

Kyler's story telling night

Kyler had a story telling night last night at his school. The kids had to read a book, memorize it and then tell it to everyone. This was on a volunteer basis (something I NEVER would have done). He chose the book Skeleton Hiccups. He did an awesome job! I am so proud of him. He was one of the best ones. Kyler you are one amazing kid and I love you very much!

Happy Halloween

Kason isn't the easiest person to get a picture of. Here he is before the school parade and during the parade he wouldn't look at me so all you get is a side shot of my "scary" vampire.

Trick or treating at grandma and grandpa Scott's house. Sorry grandpa but you don't make a very "pretty woman".

The kids had so much fun trick or treating with uncle C.J. Thanks so much for taking them out with you, they had a blast and got a lot more than they would have if it were just me that took them. So they thank you also. It's nice to have so much family around to help out.

We missed you Ben but hope to see you next weekend.

Happy Halloween!

Halloween doughnuts

Last night I got the bright idea to make homemade doughnuts for Halloween. I didn't want to actually spend Halloween making them so I decided to make them today.

Darcee, McKayle, and my mom came over to help make them. Then Derek and Kendal came over to frost and help decorate with sprinkles.




McKayle got stuck at the kids table helping them with their doughnuts.

Ellie, Avery, Kendal and McKayle putting sprinkles on some doughnuts.

Some of the finished products. These are ones that didn't get all of the sprinkles that the kids wanted to put on them. They weren't as good as Krispy Kreme but not too bad for my 1st time ever making doughnuts from scratch.

Monday night fights

I came home from work Monday night to find Ellie and Ben watching some fights on t.v. Ben thought it was so funny that Ellie learned to "fight" like they do on t.v. What a tomboy. I was so excited to have a girl but Ben treats her like one of the boys! I guess I am totally out numbered and should just be happy that she likes to get her nails painted. Maybe it's just because she likes to eat the polish right after they have been painted but I will tell myself it's because she isn't a total tomboy. Her favorite color is pink. She does like to wear dresses and play dress up. She says she is going to marry the little neighbor boy. Just let me live in my denial! Maybe I shouldn't encourage her so much in the video, but it was kind of funny to see her fight her daddy.
