♥ Pictures and more...

I made a new kind of Cinnamon rolls. Sherelle Christensen posted them on her blog a while back. I have to say that I REALLY love Bridget's (here is the link of her pictures too) but they were still good and it felt good to break out of the box and try something new! So if you're fond of a glaze type frosting rather than cream cheese frosting you'll really like these cinnamon rolls. Oh and they have pudding in them too. The bread is nice, soft and light! On her recipe she said that she doubles the frosting so I did the same thing and ended up have WAY too much. I still have the extra (full doubled) amount in my fridge. I might have to make a batch next weekend so I can get rid of the frosting.
Yesterday while Joe was installing the new dishwasher Olivia decided that she "needed" to help Joe! It was very cute she was doing everything he was. When he'd look under it she would too! Very cute!

Jenn did a tutorial on how to do rag curls. I tried last week and wasn't very successful but tried again last night after baths. Olivia's turned out really well. I think because she has long hair. Eliza's didn't take at all but she has really thin hair and it's really short. Emma was okay but in the back where it's shorter it looked weird the way I tied them so we ended up putting hers in piggy tails instead. Olivia was terrible when I was doing hers. Good heavens you'd think I was torturing her. Eliza was pretty good and then Emma was GREAT! This is Olivia.


She's bugging Lane here... He's pretty patient with her!



Eliza! Doesn't she look thrilled!

Emma... I couldn't get a good picture of her to save my life so here it is!
Livvy Sunday morning after taking the rags out!

Emma after taking the rags out. It was pretty curly but they weren't working for me. So we just did piggies and they are curled under so they're really cute. I just couldn't get a good picture!

Lane said, Mom I really think you need to put gel in my hair. He's always left out with all the hair doings on Sunday morning. So we gelled up his hair.

And of course another bruise in the middle of his forehead! He always has a bruise somewhere on his head and always several on his legs. He's definitely all boy!

My friend Jeanne gave us some halibut before she moved away and we finally cooked it up! Joe used my dad's recipe and it was sooo good. Joe LOVED it. Although I have to say my taste buds are not very good right now. The kids LOVED it they kept asking for one more little piece!

My "weird voice" thing has turned into a full on cold. So now I can hardly breath through my nose, my ears are plugged, eyes are watery, burn and I feel like I'm going to sneeze the whole time. I got through my lesson alright with a couple of uh huh's trying to clear my throat so they could hear me! I sounded like a 13 year old boy with my voice cracking and going from low to high off and on!

I hope you feel better soon!!!! It SUCKS to be sick!!

Love th girls hair & Lane's! I just give up on my girls.. they NEVER let me do their hair besides brushing it and adding the "flip" in the back or barrettes in the front.

I did Kimbers hair last week in rages. I used her little socks. She didnt keep them in but two minues if that so it didnt work out. Hope you feel better soon!

Your blog is playing Don't Know Why sung by Alvin & the Chipmunks. LOL, random.

OK I love the pictures! Kids are so cute and the curls are great. And now I'm going to go forage in the kitchen for cinnamon roll ingredients, cuz you made me hungry.

Claremont First Ward said...

Those rag curls look great! The pictures of them in are so adorable. If you keep posting pictures of cinnamon rolls on your blog I'm going to have to boycott it. :) I can almost smell them through the computer and want to eat about 10 of them. :)
