AAAAAHHHHHH
ok so some of you may have heard, but my sister is engaged. This happened last week, and the fun part is that the wedding is August 23rd. Kenzie and I had so much fun dress shopping with her and planning everything we can for her. The fun part is that we also have a huge family reunion in the middle of that, so between the bridal shower, the wedding and trying to prepare for that, I feel like a chicken with it's head cut off. That's ok because that is how I work the best. I just need to get off the computer games and actually clean once in a while. That is sometime pointless though since the girls are so good at destroying the house faster than I can clean it. That's life. OOH I just heard something not so good. Bye
Memories
I am excited about this, and hope to hear from all of you.
So here's how it works...
1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you know me a little or a lot, anything you remember!
2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments.
So there you have it! Post away! Oh,and if you don't "know" me well enough to have a memory, feel free to use anything you've read here. A favorite post you've read, etc. that way everyone can play!

PB Cups
So I know this isn't much of a tip, just a favorite recipe. I have loved making these PB Cups for years, and many of you have tried them so you know why.
PB Cups
1/2 cup Butter (softened)
1/2 cup Peanut Butter
1/2 pkg Gram Crackers (the plastic pkgs in the boxes)
2-3 cups (I think, I don't measure this part) powdered sugar.
Mix all of those together until you get about a cookie dough consistency. Don't get it too dry or it will be hard to work with.
Next take 1/3 pkg chocolate chips and melt them in the microwave about 1 min. Stir until melted. Pour the chocolate in a zip-seal baggy, close the top, and snip the corner off to pipe chocolate into the Silicone Floral Cup Cake Pan (yes that is a PC product). After putting a thin layer down, either use your finger to spread it around, or tap the side of the pan to help smooth it out. Place the pan in the fridge for a half hour or more to set the chocolate.
Take a small scoop and put one scoop of peanut butter mixture in each chocolate base. Use the Mini-tart shaper to press down peanut butter to make it even in the cups. Melt the rest of the bag of chocolate chips in microwave as before. Using the same baggy, drizzle more chocolate over the peanut butter mixture. Tap down the side and cover trouble spots as needed. Place in the fridge again to set the chocolate again.
When the chocolate is all set, pop out the individual cups and serve. One suggestion is to have some milk handy because you are going to need it.
If you don't have the cupcake pan and you are just needing the sugar rush, you can just push the mixture flat in a cake pan or small cookie sheet and spread the melted chocolate on top, but that isn't and pretty.

It's been so long
Sorry if it looks like I have dropped off the face of the earth, it's just summer. I know, what should summer have to do with it when my kids haven't been to school yet? I think summer is summer no matter how old you are, and we have been having a ton of fun. I don't have the pictures or videos downloaded, but soon I hope. (I will keep telling myself that) Avi had been in T-Ball, Story Time, and Swim Lessons. Soon we will start Soccer, but not for another few weeks. Then on August 18th she will start Kindergarten. I can't wait, it will be so fun for her. I have been worried about her because she has a hard time with new activities sometimes, but with everything new I have put her in this summer she is doing great at adjusting to the new situations with no one there that she knows. Then when she goes to kindergarten with a few of the 25 kids that are going this year from our ward she won't be as terrified. For some reason everyone that had kids in 2002 had them after Sept, and everyone that had them in 2003 from our ward had them before Sept, so there are a lot of them going this year. I need to go switch the laundry now, so I think I better quit goofing off.
