It has been about 18 months since I last wrote, not sure if anyone is even checking in with my blog any more. I probably wouldn't lol... Anyway, I guess this entry is more for me more than anything. I felt bad I have let it go this long. There is no way I can capture what has happened in the last year and a half so I will just start with the last couple months or so..<br />
As for our sweet little family of four, life is good. <br />

Tyler started Kindergarten at a charter school and Syd is going one day a week to a wonderful little preschool three houses down. Tyler just turned 6. It's hard to believe I have a 6 year old. <br />

Syd is 3 1/2 and is our little princess. She is a total girly girl and I love every minute of it. Braden has his jeep up and running and we have been out on a couple trail rides. If fact, they are going out again tomorrow. Tyler has really taken to 4-wheeling and wants to go often. As for Syd, she says it's to bumpy. I am not fond of the cold weather so she and I will sit this one out. Maybe we will go SHOPPING!<br />
<br />
As for me, I have decided to start my own business! About 6 months ago I made it final. Design Insight is now open. I am a mobile Hunter Douglas window covering showroom, amid other things. I will also give design advice and help my clients with any aspect of interior design. So, if you or anyone you know needs window coverings or an interior designer please let me know! This has been a dream of mine and it was the write time to move on and venture out on my own. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also am selling for Costco. I sell window coverings and carpeting for them as well as doing my own thing. This has been a great job so far. I can make my own schedule and the leads come directly to me. The travel hasn't been good, but I have made a few changes so I hopefully now I will be </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
working more in the SLC valley.</div>
<br />
As for my close, extended family... my sweet sister-in-law who I admire and adore is fighting her second battle with cancer. We were so heart broken to learn her cancer had returned. She has a beautiful little girl who is very close to Sydney's age, they are about 6 months apart. I pray everyday that she beats this and is able to live a long, pain free life. You are a rock star and we love you all so much. <br />
<br />
Christmas is almost here! We went to our usual spot up by Fish lake and cut our tree. It is always an adventure. A few nights back we heard a crash at about 3am and yes, our tree had fallen over. We have always joked about this happening in years past but this time it really did happen. It was a huge MESS!. Water and needles everywhere. I am sure we will remember this incident for years to come and laugh.<br />
<br />
That is all for now.<br />
Until next time...<br />

Every year they go out to the Deep Creek mountains for a lamb roast. I have only been once before but Braden used to go every year up until we were married. This was the 45th year they have been putting this shin-dig on. There were probably about 70 people that all camp for the weekend and then enjoy a great meal on Sunday evening where they roast a lamb over an open fire. It had been so long since I had been that I had forgotten what it was all about. We had a terrific time and will probably try to make it again next year! The kids loved it. There was so much to do right by camp. The granite mountains were so fun to explore and there were lizards galore to catch. We went shooting two of the day's, again within walking distance of camp. There also was a little stream close by. Tyler made some new friends including a cute little girl named Francis. Here are a few pics of our adventure!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3p6-s2o-Wt6ggCNWpyvMHrDWsCfAphtBz4-2ACmtHm9BJWywZglih9aQA7LTAw7xajJiwZNNOeEnowqXSKrXfPO48oWktMH_mk2Vu_v1xgnNMeuDPojhUHjQpplzzlcILDR3yqTbaU_0/s1600/100_2151.JPG"><img style="display: block;

As some of you may know, I have always had very naturally curly hair ever since I hit puberty. I thought it would be fun to show a few pics throughout the years of my hair. I was teased all throughout junior and high school for my curls or frieze hair. I never even tried to straighten my hair. I didn't have a clue how to even do it. I thought that it may have involved a clothes iron but that is all I knew.In high school I embraced my curls and tried to make the curl more of a true curl instead of waves. I would sit on a bar-stool in the bathroom and curl my hair with a giant curling iron to make large ringlets. I liked this look for a while but it took hours to get it how I liked, so I only did it for about 2 years or so.After I had been married for a few years, Braden got me a gift card to a day spa. I thought that this was my chance to go straight and learn the process. My hair was down to my behind when I went in that day. I met Lindsay ( who is awesome and has helped me so much). When I called to make my appointment I asked for someone who knew a lot about natural curl. Lindsay is who they gave me and I have been going to her ever since. She is now in her own salon in her home if anyone wants her name.Anywho... here is a look back.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZhfOVerMCk0KTfEigJ6r_lcEuX8LJ58njiIHOVrm1lUJX2Jv_KezhCly_y1Ommahq9lUcUSqqDARMigAwJu4KzUXfcX6ugpKN2yEVKsQ8LJaaVibMsVx2W6w6EYJE5E9nYCMcPkXLXm4/s1600/OF++Brenda+_+LaRoyce++1979.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 173px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZhfOVerMCk0KTfEigJ6r_lcEuX8LJ58njiIHOVrm1lUJX2Jv_KezhCly_y1Ommahq9lUcUSqqDARMigAwJu4KzUXfcX6ugpKN2yEVKsQ8LJaaVibMsVx2W6w6EYJE5E9nYCMcPkXLXm4/s320/OF++Brenda+_+LaRoyce++1979.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5467092632832812882" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaC0uXcRD-l4kgeNPYx34odz0TL0j2dxcyRxZTj8yx52tumwGcVwAqbyXMdGj2zsOrPm1FzueqmONsZ_huIW9nVjNgmMKpQ5HKWZxrFWRzZlQCOGSa-W3z-RM1bPfUOn6n9BcE3R7aULc/s1600/BJ++Brenda+1981++%283yrs%29.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 227px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaC0uXcRD-l4kgeNPYx34odz0TL0j2dxcyRxZTj8yx52tumwGcVwAqbyXMdGj2zsOrPm1FzueqmONsZ_huIW9nVjNgmMKpQ5HKWZxrFWRzZlQCOGSa-W3z-RM1bPfUOn6n9BcE3R7aULc/s320/BJ++Brenda+1981++%283yrs%29.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5467097744577397714" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMVXSd_-QwC7YvKh6bfsZdf5kmPB4uNZtfu8os9Dzq1Sibs1eIsFImeaV4RJq_pmxXRQlb3er860Ns-oLnogZkje3MwZAYQFG0Wk8cuJ2suq76KlxMDkHHhOFm1kg64iHJJCIEF0VFPfU/s1600/OF++Brenda+_+LaRoyce++1985.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 227px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMVXSd_-QwC7YvKh6bfsZdf5kmPB4uNZtfu8os9Dzq1Sibs1eIsFImeaV4RJq_pmxXRQlb3er860Ns-oLnogZkje3MwZAYQFG0Wk8cuJ2suq76KlxMDkHHhOFm1kg64iHJJCIEF0VFPfU/s320/OF++Brenda+_+LaRoyce++1985.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5467092641152208866" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2aQk9Upqhzt1HPprF2R2lwRK-MnzS39qPA0shxixzU12EaHBjz0SAaxQBd3uR_qFi3kh0zyyFl1163auhAGJjsz2RvqC8k-LxbVXpGb0u4kY5H10Zm1CmLYVkncYirfp8MQjf6rPxe5M/s1600/OF++Brends+_+Me++Easter++1989.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2aQk9Upqhzt1HPprF2R2lwRK-MnzS39qPA0shxixzU12EaHBjz0SAaxQBd3uR_qFi3kh0zyyFl1163auhAGJjsz2RvqC8k-LxbVXpGb0u4kY5H10Zm1CmLYVkncYirfp8MQjf6rPxe5M/s320/OF++Brends+_+Me++Easter++1989.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5467092648831282322" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2aQk9Upqhzt1HPprF2R2lwRK-MnzS39qPA0shxixzU12EaHBjz0SAaxQBd3uR_qFi3kh0zyyFl1163auhAGJjsz2RvqC8k-LxbVXpGb0u4kY5H10Zm1CmLYVkncYirfp8MQjf6rPxe5M/s1600/OF++Brends+_+Me++Easter++1989.jpg"><span style="font-family: arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"></span></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">This is where it gets wild...

A month or so back we went to the Home and Garden show to try to get some bids on starting our walkout basement. This is the first step in our landscape plan. We spoke to about 5 different groups of landscapers but only 2 out of the 5 actually came out to give us a bid. Both of these two bids were outrageous.<br />I decided to get on Ksl and try to find more of an independent, small guy to try to give us a bid. I had about 3 others come to give us a bid and out of those 3 only one got me a bid. I guess this job is just to small for someone.Anyway, the guy started and the first problem we had was that we didn't have enough rock delivered to the house. So we had to wait another week to get more boulders. After that he said it would only take one more day to finish... after about 1 1/2 hours of working his machine broke, or so he said. He told us he didn't have the money to fix it so there we were with only half the job done. I had to hire another guy who I wished I had called in the first place because he knew a lot more about what he was doing. Finally the dig out is complete and now we are just waiting for the door to be cut in and then we will lay the stone floor.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV0UOAeL9E_s7vGDFBRrb8rK_M2NvcC8TArd6NYTQap-tfJvM_sUQ0jH8cESCBVF0fF3oOxyhE53M9DvwPfuje1KJpp0BfmRVsKDrg11G4U91yf_jrAnbXqhrwz40nsrsCeynNRc-3NZE/s1600/IMG_0459.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV0UOAeL9E_s7vGDFBRrb8rK_M2NvcC8TArd6NYTQap-tfJvM_sUQ0jH8cESCBVF0fF3oOxyhE53M9DvwPfuje1KJpp0BfmRVsKDrg11G4U91yf_jrAnbXqhrwz40nsrsCeynNRc-3NZE/s320/IMG_0459.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465689672020181730" border="0" /></a>Braden has been working on digging out our trampoline pit...

We decided about a year ago that we wanted to take a cruise. We purchased our cruise a long time ago and it was so neat for it to actually be a reality.<br />We sailed out of Miami on a Monday and came back on Saturday. We had 5 days on the boat. We loved it!! The weather could have been better but other than that it was great. We were supposed to port three times but couldn't one of the days due to rough seas. We were really bummed that we couldn't get to see the private island. We were able to stop in Grand Turk and Nassau. Both of these two days at port were beautiful. At Grand Turk we took a city tour and spent a few hours soaking in the sun and snorkeling. At Nassau we took a <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">catamaran</span> tour out to a reef and private beach to snorkel. It was beautiful. Braden and I had never snorkeled before and it was so awesome. The water is the bluest water I have ever seen and the white sandy beaches were amazing! After that we rented a scooter and scooted all over the city, visiting two places Braden wanted to see. The queens staircase and an old fort. We only had two hours until the boat was leaving so we had to be fast. That is one of the bad things about the cruise, you are on their time schedule and you can only do a limited number of things. I think the scooter was one of the best times of the trip. We will do it again sometime.<br /><br />We will cruise again but next time we want to go on "The Oasis" by Royal <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Caribbean</span>. It looks amazing. It pulled up next to us in Nassau and it made our boat look like a dingy. We also decided it would be fun to have friends go too. So who is up for going with us next time?<br />Oh, and we are so glad we didn't take the kids. It was great to only be responsible for us. I will say though that it was good to see them when we got back home!<br /><br />Our Room:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaDlgZfT070naM15qlEhT6nROBSacpRDfYOGUG88oOuiCNC3OEHLNMwxTNAlDGJw6s7q-xvZ9yIVD0NI8L4E8K6A3Rcqu_ZVkxzQyBh93u0FDuhDrtvzZeWBamL5ruw0ScjSD1aPLC7Ps/s1600-h/100_1510.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

I told myself last time I blogged that I was going to try and get back on track and ya... that didn't happen. So here it is almost 3 months since I wrote and I have missed blogging about Halloween, Ty's birthday, Thanksgiving, Christmas and Braden's b-day. They flew by so fast!!<br />Halloween was good fun as always and it was so great to see Syd be able to participate this year. She was the cutest Duck ever. Tyler dressed as an awesome Pirate and was a real champ at trick-or-treating.<br />Thanksgiving was fun. We spent the afternoon at my brother's home and had a wonderful dinner.<br />Christmas... it came and went so fast. We went and cut our tree as we normally do and again got a fabulous tree. I held the annual Christmas brunch at my home and this year we did something different with our gift giving. All of us went and spent a couple hours at the food bank (which was so much fun, I highly recommend it) and then we all bought a $20.00 gift that was wrapped and we played a gift exchanging game to see who went home with what. It was really fun and there was no pressure to find the perfect gift for each person.<br /><br />New years was a blast too. We did our traditional fondue party which is something we all look forward to. It's always so yummy and a fun night to share with friends and family.<br /><br />So there's a brief synopsis of what happened during the last few months.<br /><br />Work still is so terribly slow. I have one very large project that is coming to an end and once that is finished I'm not sure what I will have to work on. I sure hope this economy turns around fast. My industry has been hit so hard....<br /><br />Our cruise is coming up the end of February. I am so excited. We have never been but hear they are wonderful. The stressful part is figuring out the kid's schedule and making sure they are taken care of. We are seriously thinking about taking the kids to Disney Land in October too. Tyler has never been and it has been 10 years since Braden and I have been. I know Tyler and Sydney would love it.<br />Here are a few pics.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjoXNMwuTBSCldbC_6SaKO2oi_pgIp16MRjhqHNl-mjwnvWnkchGcbLONcZIi-gMRCkrEXeQOIBdPsxWxNLybP4HR_4BWVx5-x-F7dCQKXqEUAeVGweDyVkY6fMFH3VYb3TXeP9GkM43M/s1600-h/IMG_0006.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

I really need to get back on track. Our summer feels like it went by way to fast and time just got away from me. I think my life will start to slow down a bit. Oh wait... here comes Halloween, Ty's b-day, Thanksgiving, Christmas and so on and on and on....Life is just busy I guess.<div>Here is a brief re-cap of what has happened since my last post. </div><div>We all had our 6 mos. dental check up in August and Tyler had several cavities, I had 3 and Braden got away with none. It turns out they wanted to put Tyler completely out to have his teeth fixed. We scheduled his appointment for Oct. 6Th and I am so glad it is over. I had serious doubts about it and am just thankful it is done with. All he remembers is the doctor giving him a shot in the arm and the rest is history. My worry was that he would be afraid the dentist and never be able to go without having some fear set in. He was in the chair for about an hour and he had 3 fillings and one crown put on. He was so out of it when they came to get me and it lasted for about two hours after we left. It's times like these that really makes you realize how much you love your kiddos. He got his Daddy's teeth unfortunately....</div><div> </div><div>In August we went to Yellow Stone for about 5 days and we couldn't have asked for better weather. We went with Braden's family and had a wonderful time. Braden and I hadn't been there in years and it was nice to go back and take our family.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUIIcaNV5ektrd-aK_496pgr3-dGjF4bAgjGRQ_UCFVRxnh_N6yGWIsycA61X-8EikI1957C30rK93DpL1eDKrgnU2FUhfVM09heWYtxlFz3NiV6ZASL0vvzPlMPJC6ziIROf3vJBe1zs/s1600-h/IMG_6856.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

I love the way she smiles and giggles now. She just makes my heart sing. Syd loves to be chased by her brother. Nothing makes me happier than to see my two children laughing and playing together. I cherish those moments as they often only come once in a great while. Usually Tyler is tormenting her in one way or another.

He doesn't cry any more when I drop him off and he is excited to go. He really likes his teacher and school friends. He is learning to identify letters and tells me of new things he learns all the time, often days after he was taught. It's funny to see his little brain work. </div>He is all boy and loves to shoot pretend guns and play pirates. He is always talking about boy stuff and loves to get into trouble. He loves his bike and has gotten so good at riding it. I love our evenings when he will snuggle with me on the couch. He loves to have his back scratched and be tickled. He gets that from his Mom...<br /><br />Braden is heading to New York for work this next week. I so wish I could go with him but it just isn't in the cards. I am really looking forward to hearing about all the places he will visit and I will be eagerly waiting for his return.<br /><div> </div><br />I took a client with me to Vegas for the furniture market in September and it turned out to be a really good sale for me. Work is still terribly slow and I need all the business I can get. I am really looking forward to things picking up. I drove down and back by myself and it was a long, lonely drive but well worth it.<br /><br />That is just a glimpse of what has been happening.

It has become a tradition in our circle every 24Th that all the kids from our neighborhood participate in a little circle parade. Now of course this is not just any parade.. It is something Tyler looks forward to all month. He clearly remembered the parade last year and was so excited to get to do it again this year!<br /><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div>We invited some good friends and family and I think everyone had a good time.

A while back while visiting one of my favorite stores "Costco" they were having a bunch of vendors out front doing little demo's.. Well, one of the vendors was "Nothing Bundt Cake". They offered me my free sample and I gladly excepted and took the tasty little morsel of chocolaty goodness out to my car. </div><div>OH MY GOODNESS, this was one of the best cakes I have ever tasted. I had to have more. Ever since that day I have wanted to try to duplicate this cake that tasted so yummy. </div><div>I typed into google "nothing bundt cake recipe" and wallah, there it was. My favorite recipe blog that I often visit and use already had a recipe and I didn't even know it. </div><div>So on Saturday I made not one but two cakes and they turned out great! It tasted just about the same, cream cheese frosting and all. I even tried to decorate it the same way they did. </div><div>It was a huge success at the party and I think this will be one recipe I will be using again and again.</div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363625873266545826" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmyFIcsAxnQSTNPltPs3J1Kgbkr5siNiEQ2qknE5Qr4ab2dKBa5yozgzf5FUIcllwk5golMRmKvc91YStuIZeCsBUknc9sVipDwXUVWJbUU2BQWDRdDlUa35pnS2Nxiilr7w1iRqJCBbU/s320/IMG_6644.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 338px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363628608572676242" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheE7eZOUsACATYbLf0G8jp2WDAguNUsCnytFtIRjN5NOV20hqmxPzs6RI53TdLT_x1gn20_3LFZPiJy0IAvAycd-L7Vo1N5Dq5XyaCvQN1zestQ5Xorm30p1U5CZ6qbRNMDPt7Id14G38/s320/IMG_6670.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363628605206242242" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA9W4kPJnzM39TNUSrBLRXcmQDqHkcTgoWQdDly8cab1M3phUqnqPwcUjrUhtEA8dofUUa5ENrDdwtJKI0wKaCWpaE9oyX5ioVdTuq4SwJAfwbR20K5LWFyXavLWxJ9pehmZJarizBt38/s320/IMG_6658.JPG" /> <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363628616826623298" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYwBM8EiNLcbtyH5Gof8CwtRuM-jzvXYKrYNViuXlpBUiRQyGDK9d9jRjiOdfN_BKtrslz2tULrH9WEaP3sZL3M4UHVWVE2kYU4EaF7dNSPnpcSdk1fzR-FDoHMQyPq03wqQ3ugNapr7o/s320/IMG_6652.JPG" /><br /></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Kemp's Krossinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00316679291253460929noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-433033395512026457.post-59805535087908528122009-07-10T12:22:00.000-07:002009-07-10T15:27:41.526-07:00Colorado!On the last week of June and first week of July we headed to beautiful Colorado for a wonderful trip. We started our vacation in Mesa Verde National Park. We spent two days there and were able to see most of the Indian ruins. Both Tyler and Sydney did great. Sydney was a trooper in the carrier and Tyler hiked most of the time without complaining. The weather was great and we found a beautiful camp spot in the camp ground. We took our trailer out for the second time and loved it!<br />Next we headed into Silverton, Colorado. If you have never been to this area, it is beautiful and there is so much to see and do. Silverton is a very small old mining town and this was our third time there for the 4Th of July.<br />We were meeting up with friends later in the week and they had told us where our camp spot was. They said it was beautiful but a little tricky to get to...<br />They said there was a river crossing that we would have to pull our trailer through to get to our great spot. So with us being the first ones to our camp we had to do it alone.<br />We started down the dirt hill and as we got closer I asked Braden "are you sure we can do this"?<br />He said he was 80% sure we could make it..<br />WHAT??<br />So after about 30 minutes of me telling Braden where to drive, him getting wet up to his knees, digging a trench for our tires to fit in, stacking rocks to create a bridge of sorts... We finally made it. PHEW. "I will never do that again", he said.<br />Well we had to do it one more time to get the stink'n thing back out, but we were there. It was a great spot and we were well hidden in the trees.<br />Over the next few days we did several mountain passes with our Dodge and saw some neat old ghost towns, mills and cabins. We partook of the most amazing funnel cakes and watched the old town gun fight. We traveled to Telluride and Ouray which are also fun places to stay. We swam in the Quray hot springs and saw the Box Canyon waterfall! On the 3rd or friends finally made it to camp and we had a great time around the camp fire. On the 4Th we went into town to watch the parade and the fire-fighter water fight. After that we did another dirt road and then came back to eat and go watch the best fire works display ever! Sunday was the day we headed out.<br />With careful planning and some work on diverting the river we were able to get through the river in one shot! Thanks everyone for the help!.<br />It was a great trip and we can't wait to do it again.<br /><br />Our camp spot in Mesa Verde.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiL0kTvlFBGI_Z_VAORy7CIbbUp4BtHBbeKU36amdWxUCkz7kRJnHq-6mo6sD8xlcutvVh_i8VSPIKsSIx2i1hDWys7qTowgoth5q616QUMBzcYRiZEkXnhOhCJF_NKEpCe8muFDKKYhaQ/s1600-h/IMG_6347.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

He started out in the circle with dad holding him up. Within a matter of about 20 minutes he was riding by himself. He got his little bike from his uncle Simon. It is the smallest bike they make and he is now riding the next size up also thanks to uncle Simon. He still can't get started by himself and getting off the bike is also exciting.<br />We are so proud of you!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkn_hLFlnjt0eXDZCGbROKXllWIZhiobcvrq19sUdBVnJZlLC5__NXeISSPKDqh8lSB1VKkG5lVyc5maixK-2UjDBEsVmtwutgaM9H6I7eGqICTaiZXifP_cqyLqKFZ9WUf7AEZfiLMYg/s1600-h/IMG_6271.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkn_hLFlnjt0eXDZCGbROKXllWIZhiobcvrq19sUdBVnJZlLC5__NXeISSPKDqh8lSB1VKkG5lVyc5maixK-2UjDBEsVmtwutgaM9H6I7eGqICTaiZXifP_cqyLqKFZ9WUf7AEZfiLMYg/s320/IMG_6271.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347325979357862450" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqyMgd6og8Jxr9HRuZOwY0cA7R1QyvDRv1zdB4FwwsL4Au09W_S5T7QK-bDJoxdv5JdkGjasC6ow6-NcqyMvpq5LaE_x0U8mXbLv1TFXyWXshbIntNTcpfV_oLwv_TkoJ6v4NXO1z1oH4/s1600-h/IMG_6279.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqyMgd6og8Jxr9HRuZOwY0cA7R1QyvDRv1zdB4FwwsL4Au09W_S5T7QK-bDJoxdv5JdkGjasC6ow6-NcqyMvpq5LaE_x0U8mXbLv1TFXyWXshbIntNTcpfV_oLwv_TkoJ6v4NXO1z1oH4/s320/IMG_6279.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347325986033428466" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrkVCz0VD-PqPi0hT-FbhOrwy5YPvrbdffPslyRPGXRGIsYBRZD7aEhWOXxOjAjp71jZbIL05QmWClSZKdc3lmd9UqiXmoCAVAD6JcLy7P5_XagY0_Yzbmye3mY408jcDTZB4HFw9oV_0/s1600-h/IMG_6291.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrkVCz0VD-PqPi0hT-FbhOrwy5YPvrbdffPslyRPGXRGIsYBRZD7aEhWOXxOjAjp71jZbIL05QmWClSZKdc3lmd9UqiXmoCAVAD6JcLy7P5_XagY0_Yzbmye3mY408jcDTZB4HFw9oV_0/s320/IMG_6291.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347325993768266418" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9dcN6ugTotN0o4RRMKVWgeWPFaCQFHb5qx2gHYnf2VAZz1QlwojU_1QTOLymvbSgHmMP4GKm3AGLU9sMELiqR-_P1MCKdFD29WYQvFiunfvXf-UWKlwO7B1LZmBzLTLo7E5kgG0f7_UU/s1600-h/IMG_6268.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9dcN6ugTotN0o4RRMKVWgeWPFaCQFHb5qx2gHYnf2VAZz1QlwojU_1QTOLymvbSgHmMP4GKm3AGLU9sMELiqR-_P1MCKdFD29WYQvFiunfvXf-UWKlwO7B1LZmBzLTLo7E5kgG0f7_UU/s320/IMG_6268.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347325984866407650" border="0" /></a>Kemp's Krossinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00316679291253460929noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-433033395512026457.post-82621111364942447962009-06-06T07:37:00.001-07:002009-06-08T19:55:42.227-07:00My little girl turned one!<div align="center">I just can't believe it has been a year since she was born.

What have we been up to?<br />Well, we put Tyler in soccer and it took him a while to warm up to the idea but I think he is enjoying it. He still has a hard time with there being so many kids. I think they sorta scare him when they are all crowded around him trying to get to the ball. It's only a five week thing so his last game is on the 31st.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGrKQBCchw0OcAYLfDTH0rzoanhLHXoQGHCaBpMpCKk8l_V5ICuo-B_huL33PRC7jjZ8ECPBtJqWjdxXB_n8ON0nUHd3KZ_BjL9edc3czF4G_qn9PeKtOYnNDLJsyokYKdaqCosN1c1wc/s1600-h/IMG_5913.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGrKQBCchw0OcAYLfDTH0rzoanhLHXoQGHCaBpMpCKk8l_V5ICuo-B_huL33PRC7jjZ8ECPBtJqWjdxXB_n8ON0nUHd3KZ_BjL9edc3czF4G_qn9PeKtOYnNDLJsyokYKdaqCosN1c1wc/s320/IMG_5913.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338331207997767746" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaN0kII0B7MW70tMCzMAtYDQyisgkewyfVrzbzH9d0y4A_ph9P2hS3MMBzUxIfrZWW77-zB6lvx8vHMo3lyFwb6SZvud5WOK7YN9QQFRgjYAXCarnZzSBuRc0aKzP6eGKliJ8RY9wdjJA/s1600-h/IMG_5917.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaN0kII0B7MW70tMCzMAtYDQyisgkewyfVrzbzH9d0y4A_ph9P2hS3MMBzUxIfrZWW77-zB6lvx8vHMo3lyFwb6SZvud5WOK7YN9QQFRgjYAXCarnZzSBuRc0aKzP6eGKliJ8RY9wdjJA/s320/IMG_5917.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338331215269265250" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4d9WM4IXPezQIeSPKpFg2qA2a9lyK_ACkkkAlCXJrAvm0AVoV66aYnLrKgE-_MP4xXKkRh5cnRtahoDBOAIOmudrYd5_cx0sa21j0wSlbpxr8LZQ6DxQeTvBZBdvcrOgGmfqYCquzGMo/s1600-h/IMG_5949.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4d9WM4IXPezQIeSPKpFg2qA2a9lyK_ACkkkAlCXJrAvm0AVoV66aYnLrKgE-_MP4xXKkRh5cnRtahoDBOAIOmudrYd5_cx0sa21j0wSlbpxr8LZQ6DxQeTvBZBdvcrOgGmfqYCquzGMo/s320/IMG_5949.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338331228021857874" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf4KP7S7-24jpd_6fSrdXHzTvwY2NTLulpYem2m7wLoWZcCPqUfo3AoB8kGNNcIASH9SRN8J3DdcIZ48AlFqsQX4tbr_MoPKZi4bdf6vmawXegK26agO11G4CkQRwpM47WBVoskjmF-fU/s1600-h/IMG_5926.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf4KP7S7-24jpd_6fSrdXHzTvwY2NTLulpYem2m7wLoWZcCPqUfo3AoB8kGNNcIASH9SRN8J3DdcIZ48AlFqsQX4tbr_MoPKZi4bdf6vmawXegK26agO11G4CkQRwpM47WBVoskjmF-fU/s320/IMG_5926.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338331220451492018" border="0" /></a><br />Sydney will be a year old in two weeks... Wow, it has gone so fast. I will definitely post pics of the big #1.<br />Braden has been working like mad to get his Cherokee done for Memorial day weekend coming up. He is headed to Moab with it for the first outing. He was trying to get the thing done before Syd was born but as you can see it took much longer and turned into a much bigger project than we all thought. He still has a lot of work to do to it but at least it will be drivable and he can scratch that itch he has been having. Me and the kids will be staying home for this one.

(Um yeah, I know he's getting to old so this stopped about 6 mos. ago but he still alway's asks.) If the door is locked, all I hear is him pounding on it until I come to his rescue. I don't know about everyone else but I always have found this time challenging. Tyler is getting to the age that my privacy is becoming more and more important and Sydney is still so small that I have to watch her very closely...<br /><div><div>Once out of the shower it's on to getting myself looking halfway decent.</div><div>Tyler is in and out the whole time and always comes in with a question: "Mom, can I watch a movie?"...

She loves dumping it out and putting everything back in. Then that gets old so she migrates to the floor where she now starts going through the cabinets. All my hair stuff get pulled out and strung all over the bathroom and bedroom. Then I see her sticking her fingers in her mouth trying to get the hair out of her mouth..

Some days he does and some he doesn't. Today was one of the days he didn't take one. He played most of the day with the neighbor boy. They played pretty hard. They were in and out of the house all day long. At dinner he started getting naughty and we could tell that this is all because of no nap. You know how it is.. the whining, crying, nothing you do is right. Well he hauled up and hit me in the side and he was taken to time out right away. Our time out is the bottom step. I set the timer for 3 min. and walked away. He cried for a moment and then there was silence. Silence in this house is never good. Either he is doing something he shouldn't or .... oh my gosh... he fell asleep on the step. It was the cutest thing ever. He was just exhausted. It was only 6:45 but we knew he was super tired so we carried him up to bed and got him dressed in his jammies. Hopefully this doesn't make for to early of a morning. <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299907544419651602" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVVwV1mI3eVPok9Ijk5yWftY2KQZVyUhIGeadFaRaRl84Ttt2E51ytz4y17kwbRUOTXurafOeysa_7tzOAika7klmYeFjuC882krGXxVeV1j9cW6N5gkYQkuh_BYW91HtoPEapzfJ96qk/s320/IMG_5488.JPG" border="0" /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299907536618276338" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDYUbAwj80ic8oJ6sCwLnzcC7cdPMsJQNEuRK82SM9-js1JQf5RRf9KbgWngOXJhxq3oHijFAImLCbVDvDB1zv_KOJMqMpckRuJw9vgzuZFvr2I6F6jKoH5_TSimpgICQuptCoegSEzP4/s320/IMG_5489.JPG" border="0" />Kemp's Krossinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00316679291253460929noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-433033395512026457.post-89367265503832844322009-02-02T18:17:00.000-08:002009-02-02T18:38:33.378-08:00Cafe' Rio sweet pork salad<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhUP7l-y4ic9cV-eYYx1OlKS89w93utBJNNQfklKq6R5bPUoC_wImVmsx1nRBAZRGMg841D4Zu2iphbo8KSf2wg6pqAMsxYi6PybtAYXAEJcLlbSPT8cniGd9O_NnZToi7EAN6LMO11H8/s1600-h/Cafe_Rio_Salad.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5298394612863463346" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhUP7l-y4ic9cV-eYYx1OlKS89w93utBJNNQfklKq6R5bPUoC_wImVmsx1nRBAZRGMg841D4Zu2iphbo8KSf2wg6pqAMsxYi6PybtAYXAEJcLlbSPT8cniGd9O_NnZToi7EAN6LMO11H8/s320/Cafe_Rio_Salad.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>This salad is one of my all time favorites when I visit Cafe' Rio.

Well, we hit that milestone and then we had to tell him that when Christmas was over he would be able to go.

Every year we have a fondue dinner. It's something I always look forward to. Braden's and my favorite part of the dinner is the cheese. We could eat the cheese alone. It is so yummy! We always have Braden's brother and wife over as well as his mom. Often times we have our good friends Carl and Mandy too ,but this year Mandy was under the weather =(<br />Hope everyone has a great 2009!Kemp's Krossinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00316679291253460929noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-433033395512026457.post-63412349207591904232008-12-27T09:28:00.001-08:002008-12-27T10:32:48.589-08:00OuR cHriStMas!Hello everyone, hope you all had a wonderful Christmas day! <div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div>Here is how our day/week went in a nut shell....</div><div>It all started on the Saturday before Christmas. I noticed that little miss Sydney wasn't feeling her best. She had gotten a cold. Her little nose was running and she had a slight cough. We had plans to celebrate Christmas with Braden's dad and stepmother as well as Braden's brother and sister-in-law the following night (Sunday). We normally do this on Christmas eve but because Braden's brother is a nurse he was going to be on call that night so we decided to celebrate early. I have started the tradition of cooking a dinner and we eat by candlelight. This was so fun last year and so we thought we should start doing it every year. The dinner went great and we opened lots of gifts. Sydney still wasn't feeling great but was a little trooper none the less.</div><div>The next few days Sydney seemed to get worse so I decided to take her to the doctor on Tuesday. Turns out she had RSV. All we could do was watch her close and make sure her breathing was okay. They told us to cancel plans and stay home... </div><div>What a bummer. So we called everyone that was planning on coming over on Christmas and told them they should probably stay away but it was up to them if they would like to join us for breakfast. </div><div>Christmas Eve rolled around and it seemed like later in the day Sydney felt so much better! Her nose had started to dry up and she was back to her normal smiley self. I decided not to call everyone back on the off chance she was still contagious. (Thanks mom for all your prayers).</div><div>On Christmas day it started to snow and snow hard. My parents decided to go ahead and join us for breakfast and it was so fun just to stay in and enjoy the morning. Sydney still seemed to be feeling pretty well.</div><div>Later in the day we went to my brothers house for dinner and opening of gifts. It was a lot of fun. The snow really started to come down and by the time the night was over we got about a foot of snow. I love a white Christmas!</div><div>Here are a few pictures of our fun filled Christmas. </div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>This is a picture of a mom we helped out this year for Christmas. She has two small boys.</div></div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284529872427199634" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3Nz1dUMFuf15rTP__d8xdveED8Ezdhlz-YNPiRcVhFU-i61RpA8WJ7hRSqNXBWFCwUo5TMqVRrRBnqmagzNdyGRrTrynaz_6tyEP8GH-W37lDNYT2_wcnjwOMXHVZNYQW_364nLdV1pg/s320/IMG_5211.JPG" border="0" /></div><div></div><div>Our <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">pre</span>-Christmas Eve dinner and gifts.</div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284529879257285266" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOv8O_hPhka7EC0II9eaDCwfDwwGUr7wzLEf7NZQ-Q9uKgh-REEt0gZkZu3zqGWOG5V2izfoRCPOkf6NsoAq0Ka5QJLHeBU3Ve3a0uVC_tbq-LQnAhoUjlLI51YPOCrMSYH782_xgRPB0/s320/IMG_5217.JPG" border="0" />Miss Sydney playing on Christmas Eve.<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284529892123093234" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhh5D35PdkZo5859ctvXcjPTjQOQJpzPntmx_tfCjUKiJzp5ZyR2KZ9NoV4BtPZ5aRemz4U7nQSQEAAbvosL55JapJm90RjIlMd6JuIY0scUI_uONAszqUn5N6V3W_wbe70ugvMWyHH0kE/s320/IMG_5226.JPG" border="0" />Tyler making sure Syd's heart sounds good.<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284529907813774418" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFmnJKcdIg9OgwRauH3t17pWwucFIw5wuEocxuKGbxa6mka6utXE5sjj2kASzkwXpPQ1eWmUC-sCSHLu2QzVsVlv_hG95yuYbbyfYDKbjECAl_SdnGIndJOPyPWaLkZeQ6fy2m-MHttfQ/s320/IMG_5229.JPG" border="0" />Christmas Eve <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">jammies</span>!<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284529916454227634" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAWJsKNL8SqDXghgJSLucjBjDRlLLTKoDao-73Vw744e1TTMsdTaMNLZAj0fC-3pLs8DGvobMZt57II5aKQgnCYVtBJw7i3ZqMqV6Uj5WWEn6KGCDIFBNdjxJJ9dPo-DbIhMxW7nPi9sM/s320/IMG_5239.JPG" border="0" />Christmas morning!<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284532003731003410" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTRb_UB3GPZ_nq8mPabeJQwE7R7pCZRDisALcItOJ_eJ0mxSPzNCby311jAdL6tZE2MTgLuMTcTtWSN7kEW6VFHz2toWaKCxetoWEsHR2pR4pfvExqp508lW2u6404aExnQieoT7_EaGQ/s320/IMG_5247.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284532007649855666" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi733WgaFip_iDoyRum47pEtSQyMcGKPTiKAUlVBX3jCZKFN5OW978A04VvYe9tSiRicpIme56Fo9_OUBGWO9d8Y4mTH2gf_7n2mPQ81vgqfH3CrriFsZg1I4jBQXTV3oFR3WJO76TZyD4/s320/IMG_5253.JPG" border="0" />Sydney with her Corona....

Braden and I had never made one before so this was a new thing for all of us. Tyler was all about the candy and getting his hands on it. I whipped up the frosting and got all the candy divided into little bowls. Once Braden and I got the walls stuck together I started to frost the roof. The instructions said to let the house dry for 24 hours before proceeding to frost but we didn't have this much time nor did Tyler have the patience. After the roof was looking like it had freshly snowed it was time for Mrs. Sydney to go to bed. So off we went. Once I returned Braden and Ty had FINISHED IT!! It actually turned out pretty cute. Here is the finished product.<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5281728507403786626" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjL9N-c-lNkRcvNtuHTK_YcSuu4Xu8_ja5tu9sbhW2nTT-3Qy4JcnRb-M40GjC8DP1RZKzx571ufB_JmNto_ur9BDbjQvZqU4bJ74ySuxsLqAsWQCXIVHS7hjT3bbz_iiP1vRmIrAhGt98/s320/IMG_5204.JPG" border="0" /><br /><p>Daddy's side<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5281728509070793906" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-uxMl-_sQynUj8ZZxVgbJOu7GG9RLP_Wt9FD2pVXH90VNTRwFINlpfrhI8Fud0XbRTlzbpXWeeItFC_qElzovbJJi8co-xCJ04M_E7mv3jqm3EGNWotHgjzi6IYHeujvaaiGJJwj-qJI/s320/IMG_5205.JPG" border="0" /> Tyler's side<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5281728517548177970" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4JudwRMFMvh7NY6oWzhtYv7xcifuUAFtNjZJg3BJiT6hk4H1HvRDDWmppejaFO59vWDy3-ap83PFsLJVBsXwP23su4l-49OyWZ_JjVkPz02n8Q_RTnBxNb7LvNOi8y_gRb2TBDlZ657Q/s320/IMG_5206.JPG" border="0" /> The Back<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5281728523052807074" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjTQlW1N8u-L33grWqgj-uAE-olu9WMD1O99glEVdqq4dd25upMziFvd4we1Jy_hFMcfQzl76SKWaYsx0B91tA0h7lH12QGMoFD2wR_pY0L-cbipc8XYJTiun1kYhlY9YTTYcww3DSynU/s320/IMG_5210.JPG" border="0" /></p>And just one I thought was cute!<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5281728525059763714" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicqYZnSVxsGe7Xl0DlCCET3JHPwsoXf82cVBJmpgLs3VLg7l5-EJBguAKW-Q6KutFSrHSnWMnT5AH4EhIO_ZsVbuOIJoHXGX7anAQBaRbs8UmzFLMbawSY2fpZuRKMYYm0tF1yeVRv3CE/s320/IMG_5174.JPG" border="0" />Kemp's Krossinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00316679291253460929noreply@blogger.com3
