Sleep Over Fun

Grandma and Grandpa Toponce had Landen sleepover on Friday Night.  We had a great time.  We first went to Chic-Fil-A, his absolute favorite place to go.  It has great chicken nuggets and a playground.  You just can't beat that.  Then we came home and did one of Landen's favorite things . . . watered the flowers.  As you can see we have moved on to bigger and better things.

Mom wasn't around so anything is game at Grandma and Grandpa's house.  Landen had a great time soaking himself, trying to soak grandma and making sure the neighbor girl, Launa, didn't make it back home dry either.  Puddle making was another plus!

We had so much fun!  He is so cute.  I can't wait till the next one.



Finally a Watermelon Picture!!!

Last year I scrapped each one of my daughters and their families a calendar.  It was soooo much fun and a big surprise.  One of the hardest things was to come up with the pictures for each month without them knowing about it. Well this year I told them they needed to help with the pictures.  For about a month I have asked Michelle and Braden to take a watermelon picture (my paper for June has watermelons on it).  So . . . On the 4th of July I finally cornered them and took a watermelon picture.  Way Cute!!! Thanks.

Eaglewood Fireworks! Yeah!

Since Braden joined the family we have made it a tradition to head up to the Eaglewood Golf Course annual fireworks which are held a day or two before the 4th of July.  It has always been so much fun and this year was no exception.  We had a great time!

GARRET GUY WARR

Our newest grandson, Garret was born on June 15th.  He weighed 6 lbs. 13 oz. and was 19 inches long.  He is absolutely beautiful!  As our family continues to grow our hearts do to.  We are so blessed!

Here is Garret shortly after birth looking into his Aunt Tiffany's eyes.

There is nothing like being the proud papa!  Congrats Kristen and Zach.  Job well done!



RECIPE OF THE MONTH

As most of you know, Michelle has been working at Kitchen Kneads in Logan.  She has become a wonderful cook.  We have reaped the joys of this many times.  This month's recipe of the month was a treat she brought to the annual Toponce Terrace Days Firework BBQ.  It was sooooo yummy.

Peanut Butter Chex Mix

1 cup sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
1 cup chunky peanut butter
1 (12 oz) box corn chex
1/2 bag milk chocolate chips
1/2 bag butterscotch chips

Pour cereal into a large bowl.  In a sauce pan heat sugar and corn syrup together until bubbly around the edge of the pan.  (Almost to boiling but not quite)  Add peanut butter to sugar mixture and whisk together until smooth.

Pour peanut butter mixture over cereal and stir carefully until cereal is well coated.  Pour onto platter or tray lined with parchment paper.

Melt chocolate chips in a double boiler or carefully in the microwave.  Drizzle melted chocolate chips over cereal.  Then melt butterscotch chips and drizzle over top of everything.

* Guittard or Nestle butterscotch chips melt best

SCHOOL IS OUT!

I know that it is like swear words for moms all over the world, but for someone who works there it is like a miracle!  Truly a beautiful miracle!  No really it is just really nice to have a break, sleep in a little and enjoy life.

Our Friend Tim Toone and Dinner

For the last four years we have made alot of great friends being assigned to the Young Single Adult Stake.  One of them is Tim Toone. 

We were able to hook up with him on his most recent visit to Utah.  Here we are enjoying a wonderful meal at Texas Roadhouse with him and his girl friend Christina.  We had alot of fun!
