Oh so good…

Posted by Berta On July - 26 - 2008

So, Jon and I have been moving for the last couple of days and its been pretty boring. You know, all work and no play…not my idea of fun. To reward our hard work (ok..not really that hard since we’re only moving across the parking lot, but still) I made a treat. It’s called Ooey-Gooey S’more Bars…I got the recipe off my friend Amy’s blog. Oh boy were they delicious! I broke my camera, so I didn’t get a pic of what I made, but here’s a pic & the recipe from Amy’s blog. Please trust me on this one…you’ve GOT to make this! RIGHT NOW!!

Ooey-Gooey S’more Bars

1/2 cup butter, melted
2 cups (about 2 sleeves) graham crackers, crushed
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
1 can sweetened condensed milkPreheat oven to 350. Mix together butter and 1 1/2 cups crumbs. Press into bottom of 9×13 pan. Sprinkle chocolate chips, marshmallows, and remaining crumbs over top. Evenly pour milk on top. Bake 15-20 minutes until medium golden brown. Cut away from pan while still hot. COOL COMPLETELY (about 1/2 hour) before serving…or chance burning your tongue off for a lick of goodness!

Thanks for the idea Amy…you ROCK!!

Ok, don’t get me wrong…I LOVE my job! However, it’s still nice to have a short week! Today is the last day we have kids for the week. We have Pioneer day off and then on Friday we’re pretty much just playing at the park. I’m so excited!

One thing I’m not looking forward to is moving. Yup, Jon and I are moving into a 3 bedroom 2 bath apartment. It sounds like a chore, but it’s just across the parking lot…heehee. So yeah, we’re not moving too far away. But still. I have to pack things up and walk it across the way. I am happy to have a master bath! No more sharing for me! heehee!

I guess that’s it! Have a fabulous Pioneer Day!

Polaroid in a picture

Posted by Berta On July - 18 - 2008

Ok, so I have been trying for the last week or so to create a polaroid in a picture. I finally found a website with detailed instructions on how to do it! Hurray for me! Anyhow, this isn’t my favorite picture, but I did accomplish the effect I was going for so I can’t complain too much. This is one of our wedding announcement pictures. We were both a little thinner then. So, not only has our love increased…our waist lines too! heehee.

DigiScraping here I come!!

Posted by Berta On July - 15 - 2008
Ok. So its been way too long since I’ve posted on this blog. Jon’s really putting the pressure on me to get the ball rolling. It’s just I really don’t have that interesting a life. But I guess you’re all going to have to suffer thru this with me. Anyhow, we spent the weekend in Orem with Rina and her family. Suprisingly it was Jon who wanted to go so bad. Well…while there Rina was working on digital scrapbooking. I was amazed at how easy it was for her and thrilled at how beautiful her LO (lay outs) turned out. So, I decided I was going to try my hand at it. My first LO wasn’t all that grand. But my focus wasn’t perfection. This was a pic taken of Jon and Andy (his 1st cousin) at least a year ago. Enjoy!
