Busy Day

Today I worked a ton on my site. So Check it out :) http://www.delicatedelightful.com/. Hailey cut her other hand today on a razor. She has managed to do more damaged to herself, than Kirt has before the age of one. She is ok, she just has to bandage hands at the moment. (All sharp things are put up and out of reach for sure now.) After the hectic morning I helped Sara put together some book marks for new beginnings. So for dinner we are trying something new. I'll go ahead and post it for now, but if it turns out bad I'll take it off.

-Combine warm sour cream, 2 tbsp butter, 3 tablsp sugar, salt, and baking soda in a large mixing bowl. Add egg and yeast; blend well. Add 1 1/2 cups flour; beat at medium speed with an electric mixer until well blended. Gradually stir in enough remaining flour to make a soft dough.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead lightly 4 to 5 times. Cover and let rest 5 minutes.
-Roll dough into an 18x 6 inch rectangle; spread 2 tbsp softened butter over dough. Sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon over dough. Roll up dough, starting at long side, pressing firm to eliminate air pockets pinch seam to seal.
-Slice roll into 12 (1 1/2 inch slices. Place sliced side down, in greased muffin pans. Cover and let rise in a warm place 85degrees, free from drafts, 30 minutes or until doubled in bulk.
- Bake at 375 for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden. Remove buns from pan immediately. Combine powdered sugar and milk then drizzle with Powdered sugar mix.

For added flavor add 2 to 3 fresh orange juice or lemon juice to Powdered sugar mix instead of milk

to slice the dough with ease, use a long thread. Place under dough and pull crosswise. Pull all the way through. ENJOY!

Sorry they were eaten before I could get a pic of the finished product

Much better

So today went a lot better then yesterday. I took Hailey to see her pediatrician and they agreed that the cut should have been stitched, but since it wasn't she'll just have to have it heal the long way and I'll have to keep it clean and put medicine on it and all that jazz. Oh and they gave her a tetanus shot.

While we were waiting to be seen, I put Hailey down and she started to walk all by herself. Not just a few steps, she went far like a few feet. Kirt started walking just before he turned one as well.

I spent the rest of the afternoon working on taxes. Which will have to be continued tomorrow....

On a more fun note Kirt and I made cinnamon rolls. So that can be the recipe for the day

Tip/Quote for the day

"There is no more lovely, friendly, and charming relationship, communion, or company than a good marriage"
-Martin Luther

Striving for a good marriage that will last through eternity is worth getting through all trials along the way. :) At times some or all us feel like giving up or we find ourselves struggling to get along with our spouse. Well I have found that I set the mood of my home. When I'm happy and loving, Jon is more likely to feel that way, but if I'm negative or down on myself I find everyone on edge. Now our marriage is no where near perfect. We have so many challenges we are facing at this moment in time, but I know with prayer and faith we can overcome anything.

Another Happy couple :)

She just loves playing with Kirt.

It usually doesn't last long before he desides to hope out. Poor Hailey is stuck.
