FHE ROAST

We went up the canyon tonight for a weenie roast. It was a beautiful night and we had a good time with all the Gordon clan!

The moon rising through the trees. I heart the mountains!

EVERYDAY EVENTS

I have been even more conscientious about taking photos during the week to keep track of the everyday events in our lives. I count this blog as one of my journals, but more than that, I take photos for my children serving missions. They LOVE to see the photos! Even more than the letters, it gives them a sense of what is really going on and what everyone is doing.

 S can't believe how much the younger kids, especially Princess P, have grown in only five months. I guess when you are around them every day you don't see the changes because they are so gradual.

N, M, Little C, and B

Little C and his friends came over the other day to make pancakes at 2 pm one afternoon. They just had to see what it would taste like to use Root Beer and Sprite in them. They had a good time and were pretty good to clean up their mess.

Princess P as a fairy

Princess P got invited to be a helping fairy at a birthday party for a neighbor. This is the only fairy stuff we have at our house because S was a goth fairy when she was 15. No cutesy, pastel fairies at our house.

PINTEREST POST #2

I have to admit that my love of Pinterest is dying. I still check it sometimes, but I don't pin nearly as much. And the fact that I have had to report porn three times does not endear me to the site.

However, there are a couple things I found recently and used. I just made this card for my mother-in-law on Mother's Day Sunday. It turned out super cute and was fun.

But this chicken shredding technique is by far my favorite new Pinterest item. 

This website said you could cook your chicken and then put it in your Kitchen Aid to shred it. I just had to try it (I hate shredding chicken with forks. It takes forever). Well, low and behold, it works like a charm! I didn't have a cover to put over my bowl, so I just used a dish towel and it worked beautifully! Yay! Time saved!! My fajita meat was gorgeous! Try it, you'll like it!
