Fast week!

Phew! That went by quickly. Rob finished finals, climbed part of the Grand Teton and is home now-happily!!! We have a week straight together before he has to start the fall term. Our big plan is to build a sandbox for Andy. Andy is very excited, his 3 yr birthday is coming up. It is going to be a Tractor Party! I made the invites on my scrapbooking program, which BTW, I love! I will try to post them later.


Last night, we made the MOST delicious apple pie! I will have to share the recipe:


Combine in a bowl:

1/2 c sugar

1/4 c cornstarch

1 tsp cinnamon and some nutmeg


mix w dry ing:

6 c tart apples

1 T lemon juice

Put in pie shell.


Sprinkle the apples w this crumb topping:

1/2 c butter

1/2 c oats

1/2 c flour

1/2 c brn sugar


Bake in 350 oven for 75-90 minutes. Check it so you don't burn the crust. mmmmm-delish!


Our cute little Chub, Chub weighs almost 18#!!! He is 4 months old now. He is laughing and grabbing for toys we hold in front of him. What a joy! We found a Bumbo Baby Sitter at a garage sale yesterday. Andy gets a kick out of making Noah smile/giggle. They are going to be a great pair!
