randomness.......

I was just thinking that I haven't done just a plain old post, with no pictures in a long time!  So that is what I'm going to do. :) This morning we are watching my niece and nephew, Michael and Lindsey!  They are adorable!  I love them to death :).  Right now they are playing matchbox cars with their auntie Shannon, and pretty soon Grandma (my mom) is going to give Michael a haircut.  So that's what's going on this morning!  Then this evening we are playing Church Softball in town, so that will be a lot of fun :).  Thanks for reading!

I thought this was funny :)

Our dog, Casey, is really scared of storms...........this is what she does when she hears thunder :) lol, this is the laundry room where we put all our dirty clothes and she likes to go hide in it when she's scared.  Just thought I would share this with you all, I thought it was pretty funny!  LOL!

Dear Little Cricket :)

Hi everyone!!!!  Here is a picture of me and Cricket, our adorable little black lamb :).  She's usually super shy and won't really let you catch her, so this was a rare opportunity and I had to get a picture of it :p

Home-made Bread--yummy!

Hey everyone!  Ever since we have all been little and everybody still lived at home, we have made our own wheat bread.  It is so yummy!  Especially right when it comes out of the oven and you put butter and honey on it.....mmm......!  :) Here's the recipe!

 Put 2 cups luke warm water in a big bowl....

 Then mix 1/3 oil and 1/3 honey together so 

that the honey doesn't stick as much to the measuring cup....

 It should look like this.

 Then put in 1 tablespoon of sea salt,

 and 1 tablespoon yeast.

 Then put in around 7 cups of flour.

We grind our own wheat and so I'm not sure

exactly how many cups there are, so just keep

putting it in until you are comfortable with how wet/dry

it is :)  

 It has to be dry enough to work with, but not too dry

otherwise it doesn't turn out very well.

split it into to 2 chunks like this........

 Then knead each one separately for about 2 min. each 

make them nice and smooth.

 Spray 2 normal sized bread pans

with non-stick spray.

pop 'em in the oven at 200 degrees (Fahrenheit) for half an hour,

then 350 for another half an hour.  It is so yummmmy!  Just store it in the refrigerator when you're not using it :D
