Family Wedding Weekend

This weekend, Kyle went on his bi-annual fishing trip with some of the guys in his family. So, Callie and I went to Ames for a few days, complete with a ride down in the family suburban to my cousin's wedding in Illinois.

It was fun to see a lot of family, and to finally introduce Callie to two of her great-grandmothers! Here are a few pictures from the weekend.



In this picture are my siblings (Brady, Wesley, Jasey); my Aunt C from Phoenix and Grandma, and then my parents with little Cal.

Pictures by Steph

My friend Steph took some cute pictures of Callie and I when she was in town a few weeks ago. She is so talented and creative. Thanks, Steph!

Contagious!



We were at a wedding this weekend, and Callie had the biggest laugh with Uncle Wes and Aunt Jasey! It was the first time I've really heard her laugh like this (one other time was with Grandma and Grandpa R but we missed it). Thankfully I got this one on tape!

It's contagious!!

Recipe: My Favorite Muffins

Morning Glory Muffins

¾ cup raisins (I use golden)
2 c flour
1 c sugar
¼ c sesame seeds (I substitute flax seeds)
2 t baking soda
2 t cinnamon
½ t salt
1/8 t nutmeg
2 c carrots, shredded
1 large green apple, shredded
1 c rolled oats
½ c sliced almonds
½ c coconut
3 eggs
2/3 c oil
2 t vanilla

In small bowl cover raisins with water and microwave 1 ½ minutes until soft; drain.

Combine all dry ingredients in large bowl. Add remaining ingredients and mix well with spoon. Fill paper lined muffin cups level to top. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes, or until lightly browned. Cool on wire rack. Makes 22-24 muffins.

Note: The carrots and apple can be quickly graded in food processor. Also, I sometimes sprinkle the top with granulated sugar before baking.
