Finally a new post.
Here's the newest grandbaby. I'm a proud grandma, again.
Watch out. I will be posting new pictures as I get them.

Saturday Night with the Grandkids!

We're having quite a weekend. Haddon and Marshall are having a slumber party at Grandma and Grandpa's while Mom and Dad go for a rare night out without kids. Just got Haddon to bed and have finally talked Marshall into lying quietly on the floor and watch his favorite movie, Sleeping Beauty. I know it's only a little after 8:00 as I write this, but I feel like it's closer to 11:00. Boy do they like to play. Marshall and I made homemade bread while Haddon and Grandpa played...whatever Haddon wanted too. He's quite a Grandpa's boy. He won't let me hold him if Grandpa's around.

Here's some pictures. I don't have any pictures of my bread this time. Marshall helped and even though it tastes really delicious, it barely resembles a loaf of bread. He really had a great time kneading and rolling and getting dough all over his hands. Again, I should have taken a picture of that too, but my hands were just as doughy and sticky as Marshall's. Oh yeah, he made his own little loaf. It's in the oven now. I think it better be petrified and saved as a keepsake. Don't think it's safe to eat. He played with it so long it's not even the same color as the other loaves. I think he rolled it on every counter surface in the kitchen. Maybe he's going to be a chef!!!

What a HAM!!!

Oatmeal Brownies

Went to a super bowl party Sunday and had some really good oatmeal brownies. Anyway, I don't have pictures but I thought I'd share the recipe.

Mix 2 Cups brown sugar 1 cup melted butter, 2 1/2 cups flour, 3 cups oats, 2 eggs, 1 tsp vanilla and 1 tsp soda. Spread most of that in a 9X13 pan. Save some.

Next melt 12 oz. chocolate chips and mix in 1 can sweetened condensed milk and 2 TBSP
Butter. Pour over the oatmeal mixture. Then dollop the leftover oatmeal mixture on top of that. Bake at 350 degrees for at least 15 minutes. I don't have any tips yet because I haven't made them myself, I've only eaten them. They are delicious and very fattening. YUM!!!

If I ever make them, I'll take a picture and post. If anyone reading this makes them, please let me know how you like them.

Sorry, I had to update. I forgot to include the oats in my original post.

Januray 25, 2007

OK, so I haven't updated for awhile. Nothing to talk about. Had a week off from school because of snow. Should have taken some pictures but I didn't. Should have cleaned house but I didn't. It's been pretty boring around here. However, we did have a recent Saturday night get-together and made home-made pizza. Should have taken a picture. It was really good.

Now we're back in school. Believe it or not, I'm glad. I was going a little crazy, not being able to get out and do much. I'm ready for spring now.

Here's a picture. Not of anything special (6th graders just before Christmas), but I hate to post without at least one picture.
