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!!!

Hi Everyone
It has been a while since I have been on here. Brin that pict. of Ryan looks like he is saying his prayers. It is a cute pict. I was reminding everyone that our Canning Day is on the 9th of Feb. so it is coming up we need to make sure we have our beans, lids, jars, and whatever else we need. Be thinking. Hope you are all staying warm! Lots of Love!

Ryan fell asleep! Sam was wathing him and he crawled up on to this chair and fell asleep.

WHOOOO IS GOING TO BE 50?????

Attention all of my Bassett Girls...May 1st and 2nd will be Time Out for Women! This is a great event that I intend to celebrate with my loved ones. We need to get our tickets ordered and rooms reserved. We are also going to mourn, celebrate and inilihate my 50th birthday along with it....I know, hard to believe...(for some)....that I have survived that many years. None the less it is true and what can you do? WE shall go and have fun and be uplifted and grow closer together and so lets get organized...!!! WE need to have an answer by the end of this week and we will make reservations and get tickets.

This is just a little something that we wanted to share. We are kind of proud of our kids.

Pictures taken by Jodee Bassett

You didn't realize the creativity and talent that he possesses did you???

I think they are works of Art and I intend to have them hanging in my home!!

It may take us a while to get used to putting stuff on here and getting used to how to do it, but it is pretty fun to get on and see what everyone is doing. Even if you don't put a picture type a few words of something that is going on. Dad you can do this without Mom I know that you sit to the computer at least once a day and Brin this was your idea. Brit you have a computer now! So everyone get busy and blog away!
