My little artist. He came up with this one on his own! He said I want to be an artist and I want the bag attached to the pallette!

This boy was the hardest to get to decide what to be!!! At first it was Thor...then it was a spy...then it was Darth Vader....then we finally decided to use his brothers costume from a few years back and be a clone trooper so he could use his Boba Fett gun he got for his birthday this year! He would have kept going house to house to house if we would have let him...Great kid!!</div>

I was awoken with a call from my mom to turn on my tv.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had been up that night with my 3 month old baby boy. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I sleepily got up and turned on the TV...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was <b>horrified</b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was glued to that TV screen and remember watching the second plane hit...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then watching the footage over and over again...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I couldn't even believe what I was watching...could this be real life? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How could someone do this to another human? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was saddened that day for not only Americans but for our <b>entire</b> human race.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had a temple trip planned for that afternoon </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and it would be the first time I had left my first baby with anyone...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was terrified to leave him and went back and forth on weather to leave him or to just stay home... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but came to the conclussion that it was important that we go. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was in shock until I walked into the temple that day. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There was such peace as we entered that holy place. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was so impressed with the temple workers. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They were a source of strength that day to the many people who came there.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My testimony was strengthened that day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I realized then that there was a bigger picture to this life </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and that was the reason I was there on that day. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My thoughts and prayers are with the survivors of that horrific day. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am thankful everyday for those men and women who serve me and my country </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to give us the <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">freedoms</span> that we have. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I could never thank them enough for the service they provide. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am also thankful for their families and the sacrifice they make </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and the struggle it is sending a loved one to war. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Thank you! </span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let us all take a moment on this Patriots Day </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to pause and be thankful for the life we are lucky to live.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Put it on TOAST or warm sliced bread!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The best is french bread but this is what I had here. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Still VERY yummy!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So now...how do you make it...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Have you ever skinned a tomato?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If so...skip this part...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(this is also helpful for canning tomatoes)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You bring a pot of water to boiling and put the tomatoes in for about a minute...</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_nKXwkV9UPE6dq-p0HUAPU9_OAdb2a_kHMbTMxngeJQ96tDeAmWWn8b90xCepWvspP9PQPaWSOGjSCkKoMIR1pgK_12huPuUv1ErV4Szq8dgodPtEIYRUBFk1uHmHDh93Vce0uudngDVi/s1600/Picture+002.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_nKXwkV9UPE6dq-p0HUAPU9_OAdb2a_kHMbTMxngeJQ96tDeAmWWn8b90xCepWvspP9PQPaWSOGjSCkKoMIR1pgK_12huPuUv1ErV4Szq8dgodPtEIYRUBFk1uHmHDh93Vce0uudngDVi/s320/Picture+002.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
until you see the skin cracking like this...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(sometimes they are stubborn...so just poke them with a sharp knife that will help them the skins the crack)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
then put them in bowl of cold water to cool a bit so you can handle them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
While they are cooling you can get a pot and add the butter to start melting while you skin the tomatoes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The skins will just slip right off</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then cut of the tops off of the tomatoes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

How to pit a Cherry without a pitter!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">How <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">pretty</span> are these!?!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNe9Z0om8jGN9plPikoJvhLRR2HOObT2J4LZ-xcKVBOb0v8GjK3Cd6by97CV-aAFkb9g3llW5jV7frSO7qhiEVrMuBMP_WooC1oj4jsf2TLhQT9KsPAs_AeG561e3fxY8nekYbQVixHx-g/s1600/2011-8-9+036.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNe9Z0om8jGN9plPikoJvhLRR2HOObT2J4LZ-xcKVBOb0v8GjK3Cd6by97CV-aAFkb9g3llW5jV7frSO7qhiEVrMuBMP_WooC1oj4jsf2TLhQT9KsPAs_AeG561e3fxY8nekYbQVixHx-g/s320/2011-8-9+036.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> I was lucky enough to get a bunch of cherries from two different people that had to many! </div><div style="text-align: center;">I of course was super excited!! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Cherries will forever remind me of my Grandma.</div><div style="text-align: center;">She would have fruit at the lunch table (Cherries being my fav) and she would put it in these little blue bowls!! </div><div style="text-align: center;">Wish I still had some of these bowls!!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Anyway back from my rambling...I don't have a cherry pitter....so I called my mom (what I always do in this situation...Thanks mom!!) She told me that her grandma always used a <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">bobby pin</span> to pit hers...So I tried it...after I <i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">mangled</span></i> a few cherries I decided that I should go on an internet search...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I had an amazing time!! Not only did I get to hold my nephew the whole time but I got to listen to some very uplifting talks.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sister Wendy Nelson...(wife of Russell M. Nelson) spoke first. I was </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>laughing</b></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> and </span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">feeling the spirit</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> through the whole thing. She challenged us for three days...to pick one thing each day that we could do to be a more </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>holy woman</b></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She told us of a women who decided to read scriptures...cause thats what a holy woman would do...right? She got up and was reading and her two little children came up and interrupted as children often do...she had a prompting to...go play with the children. So she got out the new board game she had been saving up and got it all ready and PLAYED with the children! Part way through the game her oldest said, "Mom, this is my first <b>favorite</b> day....because you are here with us instead of cleaning". </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I know I spend so much time making sure the boys get their school work done that I forget to just stop a </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>PLAY</b></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> with them! I know that there are times when that is more important than their everyday school work. I can't wait to try this and change those things in my life that I </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>know</b></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> need to change so that I can become more of the women that I need to be.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sister Sheri Dew was a great speaker!

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She also talked about our up coming </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>General Conference</b></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> of our church. She talked about a lady who read a conference talk every day in between the two conferences one year and how much better prepared she was for conference....seeing as conference is only 2 weeks away...I can't do that now but I am excited to try this in between this upcoming one and the next. I know that my life will be a little more focused on my Heavenly Father than the things that so normally fill my crazy life! I am so excited to try this!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
