Simple Solution

Now a days I like simple. The simpler, the better. I would prefer good things, so I try my best to make them happen (most of the time failing). Like most of you, I like french toast. The drawback to making it though is the messy-eggy-milky-hands that come with every dip. I have found a solution: Yup, tongs. I used wooden ones, but I am sure others would work to. To avoid those yucky hands you just place the bread in the batter, then using your tongs, flip bread over and place in pan. Easy and simple. One warning though: the bread gets soft so move fast. You don't want scrambled french toast. Enjoy a little more often!

Blind Pickin'

Somehow all my pictures that I put on are being put in backwards. This year Job and I got a permit to cut down a christmas tree. By the time we got up on the mountain it was pretty much dark and so we were unable to see all sides of the tree. We also don't have many ornaments, so here is what I call our "Charlie Brown" christmas tree set up in our house. All we have to put our tree on is our little blue car and we tied it down with only two bungie cords and some string (wrapped around a couple times of course).

Here is Job carrying down our tree. There was quite a bit of snow on the mountain, which made walking a little more difficult at night.

Job and our tree. Somehow it looked a lot better in the dark and on the mountain. Nonetheless, it is our tree and we love it.

Disneyland

Job and I went to Disneyland with all of his family on Thanksgiving Day. It was a lot of fun with all of the nieces and nephews. We didn't get too many pictures while there, but here a some cute ones. Above is Marley and Reindeer Pluto.

We got cookies at Santa's workshop and here is Aubrey and Heather. As you can see the green on Aubrey's face, she must have loved her cookie.

Fatherhood

About the cutest video I have ever seen. This makes me look forward to being a Dad more than anything else.

Cakes

Job and I made these cakes about a week and a half ago. The first one needs practice, but I think we did good for our first time.

Cedar Mountain

The Cyclopse

The other day Job and I wanted to make cyclopse pancakes for breakfast. We saw the idea on the food network channel. Job's was so big he needed help from a cookie sheet to flip it (as shown above). It was fun- try it.
