Making Bread

I have started making my own bread and it is taste.  My mom got me a wheat grinder and a bosch for my birthday/wedding present and I love them.  Last month my friend Mandy and I went to a cooking class at Shar’s kitchen center.  At that class they taught us how to make fresh whole wheat bread.  Well the next day we decided to practice ourselves so we wouldn’t forget all the little tips and techniques.  We ground our own wheat and threw all the ingredients in the bosch.  A couple hours later to our surprise the bread turned out amazing.  I have made bread about 4 times since and every time it comes out great.  If you want the recipe go to our cooking blog at http://easy-fun-delicious.blogspot.com. The recipe makes 4-5 loaves. Don’t they look great.

Summer Fun

This summer was filled with fun and exciting trip: Just a few included: Lake Powell with my family.  We spent a week on a house boat and had a wonderful time.  Since our normal time to go to Lake Powell is the second week in July, we expected it to super hot, but to our delight the This weather was pretty nice.  I don’t know how we got so lucky. 
This year was awesome.  It was Michael and Kyle’s first year and they fit in great. The best part of Lake Powell is Pirates Day.  This year was one of the best.  We had a return of Captain Brown Beard (Artie), our treasure map and a treasure chest full of goodies.  New this year we had new pirates, Silver hook (Michael) and Brown Beard’s sister (Me).  We planned out a little skit to introduce us.  Michael definitely scared the littlest kids, he even made some of them cry.  He sure looked scary.  We had a great time.

Also this summer we got to do a little camping with Shawn and Chris’s family.  We went out to the Chiricahua Mountains.  We had a lot of fun, we eat great food, played a bunch or games, practiced out shooting, hiked and got a little rain.  What a blast!

Scuba Trip

I forgot to mention my scuba trip this year.  In January some of my family went to Cozumel Mexico for an awesome diving.  Here are some of the pictures I took:
