So much fun

We went to Six Flags last weekend, we had such a good time. Here is a video of the girls with their grandparents. Do you think they liked the ride?

It's the infamous "Up and Down" ride- as Sydnee called it. Thanks for such a great weekend, family!

Yum-o

Two summers ago I helped to put together a Blackhurst Recipe Exchange & cookbook for the family reunion. Well, last week we tried one of the recipes & we LOVED it. Since my camera isn't working- no working batteries- I'll just post the recipe. Enjoy! We sure did!

Pizza Roll-Ups

Mix yeast in warm water in large mixing bowl. Add sugar, salt and oil. Stir well. Add flour and stir until well combined. Knead for 5-10 minutes until dough is smooth. Cover and let raise at least 30 minutes (and up to an hour) in a warm place.

Filling:

Garlic powder

Preschool Pages

I really don't do a lot of digital scrapbooking. In fact, I only do it for blog header/designs and for my daughter's preschool book. It's a Mommy-taught preschool and we rotate teaching. After each lesson, we make a page commemorating the day. It's fun, but I got behind when my printer ran out of ink. So I'm catching up today, and hopefully will be able to print them out by preschool next week.

So here's what I've done. They are 8.5x11 pages- perfect for a binder, and all from http://www.shabbyprincess.com/ and clip art I had on my computer.
