Jacob and I took her out for breakfast at Elmer’s restaurant. She wanted to have a picnic lunch and go for a hike for her birthday. So we packed up a lunch of bologna sandwiches, grapes, chips, and soda, (all her choice) and headed to the Tulelake wildlife refuge. When we finished our hike we went to her Uncle Adam and Aunt Jamie’s house to pick up her birthday present.</p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-pQswlNSYwVo/TlMSAgeLKCI/AAAAAAAABAU/-bqPfAlLapU/s1600-h/DSCI2078%25255B7%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="DSCI2078" border="0" alt="DSCI2078" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-eD4ObTAeSz0/TlMSBPESMPI/AAAAAAAABAY/91b7jEXywB8/DSCI2078_thumb%25255B4%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="620" height="827" /></a></p> <p>This is Karissa with Marshmallow. Karissa was so excited to get her. Marshmallow is an awesome kitten. She loves dogs and kids. When you pick her up she immediately starts purring. </p> <p>We came home from there and had “Western Bacon Cheeseburgers” and fries and Karissa chose a turtle cake for dessert. It had caramel and pecans in it. YUM!</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-EEUiX7Q3RkY/TlMSBg3pVPI/AAAAAAAABAc/HCX0QsiffPI/s1600-h/DSCI2080%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="DSCI2080" border="0" alt="DSCI2080" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-udnV7oeEIMY/TlMSB6-I-BI/AAAAAAAABAg/Mu-7K0QWzY4/DSCI2080_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="619" height="465" /></a></p> <p>Karissa you are such a sweet and beautiful girl!

These all have quite a few tomatoes on them. We are just waiting for them to ripen.</p> <p>We also planted, cauliflower, carrots, spinach, pumpkin, cantaloupe, onions, squash, watermelon, a French cantaloupe that I can’t remember the name of, and cucumber. So far we have harvested some lettuce, spinach, and a large handful of cherry tomatoes. My watermelon quit growing when I planted it outside, my squash hasn’t grown much, and my cucumber Karissa accidentally stepped on, but everything else is doing quite well. Oh, and our strawberries we planted last year are doing great!</p> <p>-Angie</p> Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11095434161356817828noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2951926305358990627.post-74250553048466088852011-08-22T18:34:00.001-07:002011-08-22T18:34:31.213-07:00Klamath Air Show<p>We took the kids to the Klamath Air Show a few weeks back and I wanted to post some pics even though they didn’t turn out that great.

Then on Monday night I had to take a dessert to Bible study and this is what I took. They were really yummy! I made them again yesterday for Jacob to take to work for a meeting. Both times they were a big hit. I think they taste better the next day. </p> <p>Want to make some?  Here is how I did it.</p> <p>Ingredients</p> <p>1 box (9x13 pan size) brownie mix prepared according to package directions but not baked</p> <p>30 caramels</p> <p>1 to 2 Tablespoons heavy whipping cream</p> <p>1/2 cup chopped pecans</p> <p>1/2 cup chocolate chips</p> <p>Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9x13 inch baking dish with parchment paper slightly over lapping the sides so the brownies can be easily lifted out. Pour half of your prepared brownie mix into lined pan. Bake for 20 min. While the brownies are baking place unwrapped caramels in to small sauce pan and add whipping cream. Cook on medium-low heat stirring frequently until caramels are completely melted. Add half the pecans to the caramel sauce. When the brownies are done cooking spread the caramel sauce over the top. Then cover with the other half of the brownie mix. Sprinkle remaining pecans and the chocolate chips on top. Bake for 20 min.  When brownies are cool gently lift out of pan and slice with a chefs knife that has been sprayed with cooking spray.  Enjoy!</p> <p>-Angie</p> Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11095434161356817828noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2951926305358990627.post-15384813987034779132011-06-05T10:44:00.001-07:002011-06-05T11:37:19.227-07:00Our Anniversary Trip<div class="mobile-photo">Our 14th wedding anniversary is coming up on June 14. Jacob was unsure if he could get the weekend before or after off so we decided to celebrate the first weekend in June. Originally the kids were going to go to Jacob's parents house for a couple of nights, but Jacob's mom fell and hurt her knee really bad at work a few weeks ago and the doctor confined her to bed for a couple of weeks for her knee to heal. Poor Sue! :( </div><div class="mobile-photo">My mom had to work this weekend so we had decided that we weren't going to celebrate this weekend and maybe we could do something later in the summer. Then on Memorial Day our good friends Quentin and Andrea and their kids came over to hang out for the day. Andrea asked me what we had planned for the summer and I told her we didn't really have any plans, that we had been planning on doing something for our anniversary but we weren't going to be able to. She said we should bring the kids over to her house and she would watch them for us. Then they also suggested that we could take their new car because it gets way better gas mileage then our Suburban and go to the beach. So that is what we decided to do. </div><div class="mobile-photo"><br />
</div><div class="mobile-photo">We got up early Friday morning and headed off to Quentin and Andrea's house where we watched their kids while she went to school and then when she came home we took off. On the front seat of the car Andrea had left a picnic basket for us with dinner and a card from them. Along the way we stopped at the river to enjoy our yummy picnic dinner. We found a great spot that was totally secluded and peaceful.</div><div class="mobile-photo"><br />

Yep, three kids with birthdays in May. That’s a lot of cake. He wanted to go to Jack in the Box for breakfast too, so that is where he, Jacob, and I headed first thing in the morning. </p> <p>And yes, like someone asked me on Facebook, he got a bike too.</p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-JBh7NDVt2vc/TeZ698DvkZI/AAAAAAAAA3k/cEIyDxviEvk/s1600-h/DSCI1933%25255B6%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="DSCI1933" border="0" alt="DSCI1933" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-I6_fq0ECGTc/TeZ6-Q8SGXI/AAAAAAAAA3o/5Nrg1K_GCQw/DSCI1933_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="535" height="712" /></a></p> <p>He was able to ride it a little outside but then it started raining so I let him bring it inside and ride around in the living room and office. <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smile" alt="Smile" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-jNOikBRkF_s/TeZ6-vLvEsI/AAAAAAAAA3s/D_BVl7Y1S7Y/wlEmoticon-smile%25255B2%25255D.png?imgmax=800" /></p> <p>For lunch he wanted to have crunch wraps so Karissa helped me make them for him.

If not it is a show where a chef goes to someone's house who can’t cook and shows them how they can make gourmet meals with the food they already have in their pantry. The chef totally unloads the person’s pantry and fridge to see what they have to work with. We have watched a few shows on Netflix with the kids. They, like me, love cooking shows.</p> <p>The other day I was in the kitchen with Aleigha and said “What should I make for dinner?” I then left and walked over to the computer to look up a recipe. When I returned this is what I found.<a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-IsRcunx9piI/TeZuq5hqEJI/AAAAAAAAA3Q/5X_DjcgfF1Q/s1600-h/DSCI1952%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="DSCI1952" border="0" alt="DSCI1952" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-8OkxKLN3EgA/TeZurTWXYDI/AAAAAAAAA3U/V92bXDocCWI/DSCI1952_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="613" height="461" /></a></p> <p>She was removing everything from my cupboards. </p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/--xeIoOKSlME/TeZusCDcBxI/AAAAAAAAA3Y/4eqv5AYgXXw/s1600-h/DSCI1953%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="DSCI1953" border="0" alt="DSCI1953" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-j1egLukZ0l0/TeZusgs3bzI/AAAAAAAAA3c/Kh8jBp19Oj8/DSCI1953_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="620" height="466" /></a></p> <p>I asked her what she was doing and she said, “Playing Pantry Raid.” </p> <p>I cracked up and told her she needed to put everything back. Then quickly grabbed my camera to snap a few photos.

It turned out so yummy that we decided to serve it at Aleigha, Brendan, and Ethan’s birthday party later that weekend (I will add pictures from the party later).</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_seZ1YNxJLQg/TdxHjKF-fuI/AAAAAAAAA3I/L3yHIad3bsQ/s1600-h/DSCI1886%5B6%5D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="DSCI1886" border="0" alt="DSCI1886" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_seZ1YNxJLQg/TdxHjQKT_9I/AAAAAAAAA3M/9adCbcCMaho/DSCI1886_thumb%5B3%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="615" height="463" /></a></p> <p>Happy Birthday Ethan!!!  Now please slow down because you are growing up way too fast!</p> Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11095434161356817828noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2951926305358990627.post-40909928223944769702011-05-09T12:50:00.001-07:002011-05-09T12:50:29.027-07:00Our Birthday Girl!<p>On Sunday May 8th, yes, Mother’s Day, our daughter Aleigha had her 7th birthday. <a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_seZ1YNxJLQg/TchFfqf_peI/AAAAAAAAA2U/803RaAcznoY/s1600-h/DSCI1844%5B4%5D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="DSCI1844" border="0" alt="DSCI1844" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_seZ1YNxJLQg/TchFf7_bFiI/AAAAAAAAA2Y/3sytog_SUYI/DSCI1844_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="538" height="404" /></a></p> <p>Here she is with her butterfly cake… </p> <p>and here with her new bike we bought her for her birthday.</p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_seZ1YNxJLQg/TchFglLS_QI/AAAAAAAAA2c/xU38i7tmwq8/s1600-h/DSCI1831%5B6%5D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="DSCI1831" border="0" alt="DSCI1831" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_seZ1YNxJLQg/TchFhDb6liI/AAAAAAAAA2g/NX1tpbo1ZVA/DSCI1831_thumb%5B3%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="494" height="658" /></a></p> <p>For her special day we took her out for breakfast with just Jacob and I. She chose to go to Black Bear Diner. Mostly because that is where Austin had chose to go on his birthday and she had never been before so it sounded fun to her. After church she wanted to have a barbequed hamburgers with salad and fruit salad. She spent the afternoon riding her bike in the driveway and hoped to be able to go for a bike ride when Ethan woke up from his nap, but by that time it had started to snow, then sleet, then rain so we decided to stay in doors. She had fun helping decorate her cake and playing SkipBo and Zilch. For dinner she wanted bbq pork sandwiches, potato salad, and pasta salad. We ate in the living room while watching a movie and of course had cake and ice cream for dessert.</p> <p>She has brought so much joy to our lives.

He was required to wear a plaster cast around the upper part of his body. Fortunately, the cast fit under his shirt and wasn't noticeable. <br />On the first day of class, he found himself assigned to the toughest students in the school. The smart-alecky punks, having already heard the new teacher was a former Marine, were leery of him.

We all loved it! It is so yummy!  I was going to make it for a women’s brunch at church earlier this month but the night before I ended up getting a migraine. The next morning I was still feeling sick to my stomach from it so I slept in and ended up making something else. Since I still had the ingredients I went ahead and made it for breakfast this morning. I doubled this recipe for our family. The recipe is from Taste of Home’s website and a link to the coffee cake is at the bottom of the recipe (their picture is much better than mine). Give it a try. You won’t be disappointed. </div> <ul> <li>12 Servings</li> <li>Prep: 20 min.

Not because I don’t have anything to say, because there have been lots of things that I thought I should blog about but then never got around to doing. Maybe it is because we haven’t been doing that much away from home since our kids have been sick off and on since the end of January. I think there have only been a few times when everyone has been well and healthy enough to go do things, but  then someone gets sick again. We’ve gone through fevers, chills, sore throats, coughing and runny noses, to throwing up, ear infections, eye colds, and even hives (which were caused from stress from being sick. I thought they were always from an allergic reaction, but apparently not). We have missed a lot of church lately and since we teach the 4th through 6th grade class on Wednesday nights Austin has stayed home to watch the other kids a lot too. </p> <p>   With the kids being sick a lot we have gotten a little behind in our school work so we are not taking a spring break this year. That way we can get caught up again and not have to do school into summer. Other than being a little behind school is going well. We have been reading some interesting books and doing some fun projects. </p> <p>    Austin is now in a junior high and high school homeschool group and has been able to do some fun things with them. This last month he went to a movie night and ice skating. When we took him to go ice skating our other kids wanted to go as well especially Ethan. I didn’t think I would be able to help both he and Brendan at the same time so I told the kids we would have to come back on one of Jacob’s days off so he could help too. When we came home and I gave Ethan his nap the first thing he said when he woke up was “Can we go ice skating now?” I explained to him that we had to wait until one of Jacob’s days off, and until the day we went he asked me the same question every time he woke up in the morning, and every time he woke up from his nap in the afternoon. I have a few pictures from ice skating that I will post on here (when I find my camera). We also took a few videos of the kids skating but they are pretty shaky so Jake and I and maybe grandmas and grandpas will be the only ones who would appreciate them so I won’t post those.  <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smile" alt="Smile" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_seZ1YNxJLQg/TYfcJCbAXeI/AAAAAAAAA1w/13jXdzfDB7w/wlEmoticon-smile%5B2%5D.png?imgmax=800" /></p> <p>-Angie</p> Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11095434161356817828noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2951926305358990627.post-82049744394174864382011-03-16T12:04:00.001-07:002011-03-16T12:04:00.765-07:00Mid week laughs<p><strong><strong></strong> <p>No Parking <br />A minister parked his car in a no-parking zone in a large <br />city because he was short of time and couldn't find a space <br />with a meter.

So he often would thin down his paint to make it go a wee bit further. As it happened, he got away with this for some time. <br />Eventually the Presbyterian Church decided to do a big restoration job on one of their biggest churches. Jack put in a painting bid and because his price was so competitive, he got the job. And so he set to, with a right good will, erecting the trestles and putting up the planks, and buying the paint and...yes, I am sorry to say, thinning it down with the turpentine. <br />Well, Jack was up on the scaffolding, painting away, the job nearly done, when suddenly there was a horrendous clap of thunder. The sky opened and the rain poured down, washing the thin paint from all over the church and knocking Jock fair off the scaffold to land on the lawn. <br />Now, Jack was no fool. He knew this was a judgment from the Almighty, so he fell on his knees and cried, "Oh, God! Forgive me! What should I do?" <br />And from the thunder, a mighty Voice spoke, "Repaint! Repaint!

Snapped electrical wires were sparking and snapping on the snowdrifts all over town.</p> <p>As a local policeman, I was assigned to the area around another downed wire to provide security for the site and keep the public safe.</p> <p>It was just after midnight and about 20 degrees below zero when I arrived to relieve the patrolman who was currently on duty. He pointed out the thin line swinging furiously from the main junction box and then hastily beat it to the relative warmth of his patrol car. Pulling up my collar and reaffixing my earmuffs, I took up my position for the next few hours.</p> <p>Finally, just after 5:30 in the morning, a utility truck arrived and a lineman hopped out. He climbed the utility pole and then descended a few minutes later, laughing.</p> <p>"Well, officer," he explained, "I'm afraid you have successfully guarded a frozen kite string all night long!"</p> <p><i>[Wit and Wisdom]</i></p> <p>+++</p> <p>+++</p> <p><b>AN OLDIE BUT A GOODIE</b></p> <p>An artist who had an exhibition on display at a local art museum asked the gallery owner if there had been any interest in his paintings.</p> <p>"Well," the owner began, "I have good news and I have bad news. The good news is that I did receive one inquiry about your work. The gentleman asked if the value of your paintings would go up once you had passed away."</p> <p>"What did you tell him?" asked the artist.</p> <p>"Well, I told him that the value of most every artist's work appreciates in value upon their passing."</p> <p>"What did he say?"</p> <p>"He didn't say anything. He just took out his wallet and purchased 15 of your works on the spot. That's the good news."</p> <p>"My, that's wonderful!" exclaims the artist. "What could the bad news be?"</p> <p>"The gentleman said he was your doctor."</p> <p><i>[with thanks to Mikey's Funnies]</i></p> <p>+++</p> <p>+++</p> <p>At a recent company-mandated refresher course for my engineering team, the participants were given an awkward question to answer:</p> <p>"If you had just boarded an airline and then discovered that your team of programmers had been responsible for the flight control software, how many of you would want to get off the plane immediately?"</p> <p>Amid the forest of hands that shot up, one man sat quietly, serenely, with a look of confidence on his face.</p> <p>When asked what he would do upon this discovery, the man replied that he would be quite content to stay on board the aircraft.</p> <p>"You see," he explained, "using the software written by my team, the plane would be lucky to be able to taxi anywhere, let alone take off!"</p> <p><i>[<b><a href="http://family-safe-mail.com/lists.html">Doc's Daily Chuckle</a></b>]</i></p> <p>+++</p> <p>+++</p> <p>I just got off the phone with a friend living in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, near the Canadian border.

The player was known primarily for his lack of IQ, common sense, and good looks. <br />He turned to his wife: "You know, I'll never understand why the biggest, ugliest jerks always get the most attractive wives." <br />His wife replied, "Why thank you, dear!" <br />today'sTHOT============================ <br />Evening news is where they begin with "Good evening," and then proceed to tell you why it isn't. <br />=======================================</p> <p>today'sFUNNY=========================== <br />On a visit to Boston, I noticed a parking meter with a paper sack over it upon which was written: "Broken." <br />A skeptical parking officer removed the bag, inserted a quarter in the meter and turned the dial. It worked perfectly. As the officer began to write a parking ticket, the car's owner rushed out of a nearby building. <br />"What are you doing?" he yelled after a quick glance at the meter.

Later an iPod for the youngest daughter. <br />So when his anniversary rolled around, he got his wife an iRon. <br />That's when the fight began. <br />[forwarded by Don Hochmuth]</p> <p><a title="http://www.mikeysfunnies.com/" href="http://www.mikeysfunnies.com/">http://www.mikeysfunnies.com/</a>.</p> Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11095434161356817828noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2951926305358990627.post-22198785045860788012011-01-22T21:10:00.001-08:002011-01-22T21:10:20.966-08:00Funny Stuff<p>today'sFUNNY=========================== <br />TRAVEL WARNING <br />The federal government has issued a travel warning due to the cold weather. <br />They suggest that anyone traveling in the current blizzard conditions should make sure they carry the following: <br />- Shovel <br />- Blankets or sleeping bag <br />- Extra clothing including hat and gloves <br />- 24 hours worth of food <br />- De-icer <br />- Rock salt <br />- Flashlight with spare batteries <br />- Road flares or reflective triangles <br />- Full spare gas can <br />- First aid kit <br />- Booster cables <br />I looked like an idiot on the bus this morning. <br />[forwarded by Steve Sanderson] <br />today'sTHOT============================ <br />My oven has a "Stop Time" button on it.

So one night while watching TV, the old man got up from his chair and his wife asked, "Where are you going?" <br />He replied, "To the kitchen." <br />She: "Will you get me a bowl of ice cream?" <br />He: "Sure." <br />She: "Don't you think you should write it down so you can remember it?" <br />He: "No, I can remember." <br />She: "Please put some strawberries on it. You better write that down 'cause I know you'll forget." <br />He: "I can remember that. You want a bowl of ice cream with strawberries." <br />She: "Well, I'd also like whipped cream on top. I know you'll forget that, so you'd better write it down." <br />He: "No, I don't need to write it down! I can remember!" <br />Fuming, he went into the kitchen.  After about 20 minutes he returned and handed her a plate of bacon and eggs. <br />She stared at the plate for a moment and said, "You forgot my toast." <br />[forwarded by Gretchen Patti] <br />today'sTHOT============================ <br />I went to a book store and tried to find a Where’s Waldo book, but I couldn't find one anywhere...well played, Waldo, well played.</p> <p><a href="http://www.mikeysfunnies.com/">www.mikeysFunnies.com</a></p> Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11095434161356817828noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2951926305358990627.post-6217631634650898282011-01-12T10:58:00.001-08:002011-01-12T10:58:26.136-08:00Some Old Funnies<p> </p> <p>If any of these real codes refer to something bad I am sorry.
