Puppy Care

Cracker, Chalet and Jaycie went to St. George for a bike race that Crack was riding in, so Grandma Vicki got to be the dog sitter. Gizmo, in the center is no problem at all. Daisey Mae, the one not minding for the picture is a little crazy or maybe OCD. Chloe on the left just puts up with her extended family. They are so fun to watch play. (Maybe next year I will get to be the babysitter for Jaycie!)

Pinwheels

I thought that since I learned how to do pinwheels that I had better do it again so that I wouldn't forget how. So now I have a table runner for March. The yellow is really lime green. Just have to get it quilted.

Quilt Class Fun Pinwheels

Tonight at class we learned how to do a pinwheel the easy way. Shelly is so talented and can figure anything out when you screw-up. Mine turned out pretty darn good. Four down and eight more to go.

We sent Valentines/President's Day all by ourselves. We went to the cabin and enjoyed just being lazy. We did get the snowmachines out of the trailer but we didn't go very far. Made a couple trips to West Yellsowstone for pizza and breakfast.

Self portait, not to bad. If only grandpa Con would have smiled.

Chloe being lazy with her partner.

We fixed dinner for our friends Brent and June. I made a cheesecake and it never did set up, so we had cheesecake soup with cherries. These two have been married for 52 years and we enjoy their company so much.

I love holidays because of the yummy foods.

I tried a new sugar cookie recipe. It has buttermilk instead of sour cream. They are yummy and they stay soft. This recipe came from Chalet's friend, Jodi.

Sugar Cookies

2c shortening
2c sugar
2 eggs
pinch of salt
2 c buttermilk
1t baking soda
1 T vanilla
7c flour
Blend shortening and sugar together. Add eggs, salt, buttermilk and vanilla. Mix soda and flour in a separate bowl. Gradually add to sugar mixture. Cover. Chill for 30 minutes. Roll out on a lightly floured surface to about 1/2 thick. Cut into shapes. Bake @ 350 for 12-15 minutes or until lightly browned on bottom. Frost with cream cheese frosting.

Okay, so this last weekend I got to spend some time in Logan. I went to Conner and Tanner Jazz basketball games, watch the Super Bowl ( GO Saints), Con lost a bet on the game and he had to buy Conner pizza, spoil our little Jaycie and I even found time to make this arrangment to go in Jaycie's nursery. Cody found the bucket and he told me to fill it with flowers. I think it turned our pretty darn cute. They are building a shelf to up above the nightstand. (Get r'done, Cracker)


Notice the darling blanket on the chair. Chalet made it!
