Friends and Oatmeal Pancakes!

Well I just thought that I would let you all now that we are adjusting and making friends here in Worland. Taycee got to have some friends over, but the sad part is that it is snowing. All week it has been beautiful, sunny, and well wonderful and the day she gets friends over she is couped up in the house. So SAD! But they are making the best of it and decided to watch Care Bears. Oh and I have to add this little tip too because well it was good... This morning the girls were hungry and all voted for pancakes (blue berry pancakes) I didn't have that kind so I was just going to make regular ones (krustez just add water) but then I had an idea, I had the individual instant oat meal packs and one was a mixed berry so I made it like I was going to have oat meal cooked it in the microwave for 1 min and added the pancake mix and a little water. They turned out really well. Next time I am going to try apple cin. oat meal pancakes. "Sounds yummy to me"

Stupid Stoves

Well I have to admit-I have a different blog-started much sooner by the way-but it doesn't really get many posts to it either, but as I just finished a quite wordy one, if any of you would like to read it here is the address

Hello! Is anyone out there

Sheesh I sure was glad that Brandee posted something-I was beginning to wonder if everyone had fallen off the face of the earth......I wonder did Britany get lost in the hardware store? Did Dondee's heart condition do her in? Do we even want to know what happened to Donna? Mallory phone home....

Our out door adventure!

I thought that I would share with you the results of a walk and little outside adventure. Ryan lasted most of the walk and then decided it was nap time and Taycee did a great job keeping up on her bike. (Oh what a nice day it has been today) and then while Ryan slept I pushed Tacyee on the swing! (wow she is flexible) It sure was fun but it would have been funner if you all were here with us.

Making Bread

Rylee and Joe are big helps when it comes to making bread! They love to be involved-as you can see. We each have our jobs-mine is measure and hope to get all the ingredients into the bowl. Rylee is the taster-she lets me know when there is enough wheat flour( yep she actually tastes the dough when it is still in its gross liquidy batter form) And then we start adding white flour-this is the part Joe loves-I usually try to let him dump the flour on the table while I knead it in. He is becoming quite the little chef and loves to steal those moments in the kitchen when there is no one there to inhibit his creativeniess-if you ever need a recipe for cookies that includes cornstarch and eggs-let us know, it can also double as wall paper paste!

Dun Dun DaDun Dun Da DUNNNNNNN

Hey-you try spelling that! Anyway Fanfare, gasps of awe and all those other sights and sounds of amazement.The moment you have all been waiting(and waiting and waiting) for is here-an official post from the non blogger oriented portion of the Bassett family! We were going to get some family pictures done around Christmas but it didn't really happen due to circumstances-like mom and dad running low on patience and energy and kids making it their mission to make it seem like a really really bad idea. Anyway-we hope the effort counts! Here is us on our couch in the clothes we were going to wear to get our family pictures taken.

Even though the Superbowl is probably not a sanctioned Sabbath Day activity....the family time was absolutely heavenly. Thanks each of you for your part in making the day special. The food was good as usual and the company divine. The children were wonderful in the way that they played together so nicely and they should be commended.
Everyone did there part and the cleanup was so great that it left virtually nothing for me to worry about come Monday. Thanks again for your efforts and for being part of our family!!!
