Scattergories : This one is harder, but try it anyway. Use the first letter of your name to answer all the questions. All answers must be real places, things, or names...nothing made up. Don't use the same answers as your friend. You can't use your name for the boy/girl answers. Ready, set, go!





Name: Brittney


4-letter word: Best


Vehicle: Bentley


TV Show: the Biggest Loser


City: Boston


Boy Name: Branson


Girl Name: Bethany


Occupation: Batonist


Something you wear: Bra


A food: Bread (especially homemade)


Something found in a bathroom: bathtub


Reason for being late: Breakfast was really good!!


Something you shout:BINGO


So, seriously stipulate subjects simply by selecting substance so as to stimulate speculation! In other words: Earnestly instruct topics just by choosing material so as to inspire thought! So, not the greatest sentence but the majority of it was with "S's"!!!! I am sure you get the gist of it. And I highly doubt that I accomplished that myself (not a whole lot of inspiration here), but it was fun anyway! I'll be checking your emails to see how you have done! ;-)

Monkey Bread???


Job and I love this, but we could never agree on a name for it. My family calls it Monkey bread, but Job knows monkey bread as the cinnamon sugar bread (cinnamon pull-aparts in my family). For Job's and my sake, we named it Butter Bread. Here's the recipe . . . enjoy!!


In large bowl put: 2 cups of warm water, 1/2 cup of sugar, 1 tsp salt, and 2 tblsp yeast.

Mix and set until bubbly.


Add 2 beaten eggs, 3 cups flour, and 4tblsp oil. Slowly add 3-4 (or more if needed) cups of flour.

Knead and then cover and let it rise until it's double.


Melt 1 stick of margarine in a bundt pan in the oven. Roll dough on floured surfice into 1/2" thick and cut out with biscuit cutter (I use a jar lid). Dip cut out dough in melted butter and stack on its side. Repeat until full. Bake for 40 minutes at 350 degrees.


***With one recipe, I can make two.

Morinda Gardens

These pictures are a little late, but I wanted to share them. A couple of weeks ago, Job and I went to his cousin's wedding up in Salt Lake. The reception was behind the Tahition Noni building in their Morinda Gardens. It was beautiful with waterfalls and lots of grass and flowers.

Lots of Lake fun

The day before we left California, we went to Lake Elsinore. Everyone had a blast on the Sea-doos and playing in the water and sand. Madison looked so cute lounging on her towel in the sand.
Job was the guy who carried kids to and from the sea-doo and the shore. Aubrey, Jordyn, Scott, and Marley liked playing with the shovels and pails.






Ashley and Jared took Jordyn out on the lake. They were the only ones that could.
Jeremiah, Lacey and Madison. I love this picture of Job in his big hat.



Aubrey

It was Aubrey's birthday a few days before we got there, so I made her a princess cake. She told me what she wanted on it. She loved it. That night she was doing flips and jumps and wanted me to take pictures of her. She loved seeing herself on the camera.



Joseph's Homecoming

Joseph came home on July 16. Job's got a limo to take to the airport to pick Joseph up. There, the family held up a "Welcome Home Elder Jones" sign. Two days later a party was held for him and they had a taco maker guy come and make fish, beef, and chicken tacos.



Te'a and Marley

Job and I had his niece and nephew, Marley and Te'a for a few days. While in Cedar we took them to Discovery Park play Wiffle Ball and to play on all the fun swings and stuff. The two of them loved the wiffle ball set. We all took turns hitting the balls and throwing them to each other. Job pushed them on the big tire swing. When we got to California, Job's sister Jessica and the four of us went to the bowling alley. One of the kids even got the ball stuck between the bumper and the median. They were so much fun, but their energy wore us out completely.






Isabelle Haven

Richard, Amy and Isabelle came to Cedar for a few days. It was a blast having them around. I had to cherish to moments Isabelle came to me. Isabelle found this stool in the kitchen and flipped it over to sit in. She kept making poses and this on was my favorite.




Beauty Queens

We went to Wal-Mart for a few things and on our way out Reagan spotted the sunglasses. Richard put them on her and Isabelle and they looked so darn cute I just had to share them with you. I think the sunglasses must have made them blind because they kept walking into other people, or I guess it could have just been their age.
