my climber





If there is one thing that my little boy loves to do it is climb!!! He started out small, just climbing into the bottom drawer of my new cabinets. But then he moved up to bigger feats. Climbing on the couch by himself, chairs, top of the table.... almost anywhere you can name.



The other day changed Grant and realized that what he really needed was a bath. Well bath time is Hunter's favorite time of day but he was already dressed so I didn't want to put him in. While I was dealing with the diaper for two seconds Hunter climbed on in to the tub clothes and all he was very proud of himself.

Cooking with Mom

One of Grant's favorite things to do is help cook! I enjoy his help, most of the time, unless it involves the stove or something hot. I know that I always enjoyed helping my dad cook. One of the things that I ALWAYS helped Dad make was Raspberry Delight! It was my job!! Well I decided to make it for a relief society activity a while ago and Grant decided he needed to help me. All I could think about was how much fun I used to have helping my dad. It was fun to have him help me!! I wish that I could make this with my dad again but luckily I have someone to help me!

Raspberry Delight
Crust-
2 cups flour
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup chopped pecans

Mix all together and bake at 375 for 15 mins. Then press all but one cup into a 9x13 pan. Save the rest for the top.
