Last year Amy and I found this gem of a recipe for homemade graham crackers. All I can say is Yummo! They are so addictive. As an extra little treat, I drizzled a some almond bark across the top. I think the best part, besides the fact that I can make up 4 batches…
Several years ago I attempted to make a picture perfect Fall food- Butter Nut Squash. Now, for some, this may not be a big deal. But, if you have grown up on peas, corn and carrots- tackling something from the cover of a Martha Stewart magazine can be overwhelming. It looked amazing. I pulled the…
Last Tuesday Scott and Amy dressed up for their first choir performance. They are both in the Colfax High School choir and I couldn’t be more thrilled.

I could tell that Jack was not thrilled with the prospect of spending a fun filled day looking at exhibits and reading about things he had absolutely no interest in. To make matters worse, Jack…
