Although there isn't a dog in this pic I decided to do a quick post to update about Lola. I am not due until March 14th, but my doctor doesn't think I will make it until the end of February. (SO, I'll probably Still be pregnant by the end of March!) He thinks I maybe developing Preeclampsia and I was dilated to a 2 at week 35. He is hoping I will make it until the 22nd which will put me at 37 weeks. The 22nd happens to be the day Bryan takes his USMLE Exam which he has been studying for the last 2 years! Hopefully she stays in there until he is done with his exam.

Since I am not working I have been sewing and I made a purse. I had a hard time
understanding the directions so Bryan read them and then
told me how to make it. He is so good at understanding instructions!

Lucky for this pup, she was gifted a matching skirt to match my purse and if you
look closely you will also notice the the corresponding leggins on the
front quarters. (Compliments of Bryan)

Whole Wheat Bread Recipe

Bosch Whole Wheat Bread
(Bosch mixer not required)

5 ½ C Warm Water
5 C Whole Wheat Flour
2/3 C Oil
2/3 C Honey or ½ C Xagava
2/3 C Applesauce
2 T Dough Enhancer
2 T Vital Wheat Gluten
2 T Yeast
2 T Real Salt
10-15 C Whole Wheat Flour

I use a kitchenaid mixer and it won’t hold this size of bread batch so I half it or three-quarter it.

In a Mixer add water, Yeast, Oil, Hondy, Applesauce, Gluten, Enhancer, and 5 C Wheat Flour
Use the slow to medium setting to incorporate.
Turn speed to slow and add 1 C of Flour at a time with Salt till the Dough scrapes away from the edges.
Once the bowls edges are clean Knead on speed 1 for 6 min.
Remove and shape into pans let rise and Bake at 350 for 30-35 min or till internal temp reaches 190-200.

Side note:

I love the dough enhancer, and vital wheat gluten, it makes the dough fool proof! And you can also use the dough enhancer in a variety of other doughs.

I was having a problem with my loaves cracking as they baked and I learned that if you put the raised loaves in the oven and then turn the oven on the dough is less likely to crack. Just add about 5 minutes to the cooking time.

If I half the recipe it makes 2 large loaves.

My sweet sisters decided I needed to have a baby shower.
I was nervous to have one because I haven't been in one place
for a long time and I was afraid no one would come. It turned out great,
I was so happy so many of my friends and family came and I wish it
could have lasted all day because it was fun to catch up with them. Thank you
to everyone for coming and for making this day special for me and baby Lola.
And very much thanks to my mom, and sisters who love and take care of me.

Survival Week With the Niece and Nephew

Proof to Saundra that their aunt hygienist made them brush their teeth:)

Saundra and Wes went out of town for a week so Mom and I watched Jackson and London. It was so fun but a ton of work too. Luckily my sister is so organized and made it easier for us.

Grandma struggling to get London dressed...once again.Grandpa came to visit for a day and the kids loved it!

I think it is so cute that Londie always cuddles up to Jackson when
I take a picture of the two of them.

One of the many forts J and L made, they play so well together. London loves her brother and Jackson is very thoughtful and takes care of her.

Funny Jackson story.

Jackson wanted to go to McDonalds and my mom suggested he eat an orange instead to be healthy. She then explained to him why it is important to eat God's food; food that is made from the earth. He looked at my mom seriously and then said

"So is McDonald's Satan's food?"

Grapes!

They are so cute and such good kids!! It was so fun to be with them
all the time, even though they are hard work.

London would rather not wear clothes!! That was hard work
because we would get her all dressed and ready and
we would turn around and she would look like this!

London could not get enough of my pregnant belly. She would sit on my lap and pull up my shirt and talk to baby Lola. London even made a pile of blankets and clothes to give to baby Lola.

This is for you Saun, dad took Teddie on a walk!

Happenings in St. George

Since Lucy died everyone in my family has been missing her
It was only a matter of time before my parents got another dog.
We found Tilly on KSL.com, we aren't really sure why her family
wanted to give her away but we decided to take a chance. We went and
looked at her and met her family. Tilly is 3 years old and has had one
litter of pups, she is a full Boston Terrier. The day after we looked at her I asked my
dad if he was going to get her and he said she had been sold. I kind of figured he
he had been the one to buy her and he was just pulling my leg. I didn't
say anything because I didn't want to get my hopes up. Sure enough after
my parents went "to lunch" they came home with Tilly. Before Dad surprised us
Bryan and I thought we would be smart and surprise my parents with welcome
home signs for Tilly. So far she has been great! She is house broken, does several tricks and does not bark....at all! She is such a sweetie and kind of timid. She isn't much like Lucy, but we love having her around.

Bryan with Tilly

Tilly Girl!

My mom knows a lot about sewing and
worked hard to teach me and Bryan how to quilt.

Baby quilt making with mom. I have decided making baby
quilts is way too expensive! But fun to make, even Bryan
knows how to use the sewing machine.

My dad and Bryan were fighting over who got the
quilt so I decided to keep it for myself . Hi Tilly!

I finally finished my quilt that I started in 2002!

Christmas In St. George

Merry Christmas 2009

Lucky for Jackson and London, they got the 2
Cayman dollars we accidentally brought home.

My little sister, Chelsea's cat. His name is Benjamin.

Hot tub time!

Bryan trying to teach Teddie, my sisters dog some manners.
Bryan is so good with dogs and training them.
Too bad Teddie couldn't stay with us longer :)

Saundra wrapping presents for J and L.

Every Christmas in St. G I get a picture of my parents on this couch,
I don't even mean to... guess they sit there too much.

I am not very good at taking pictures of everyone and
this is the only one of me and Bryan.

Saundra gave me and Chel these way cute headbands!

Riley loved the head band so much he borrowed Chel's for the day.
