Mad scientist.....

Today I am going to be the mad scientist...Mwaaahaaahaaaaa! (rolling hands gleefully together) Actually - we had a good crop of red potatoes from our barrells we did and I am going to experiment with canning them. We won't be able to eat them all before they start shrivelling - so am thinking in longterm storage. I can use the canned potatoes for chowders, stews, soups, casseroles, hashbrowns - maybe even be able to mash them! I can hardly wait!

Last night we had an awesome time visiting with fellow cubscout families at our end of summer hotdog roast. We had about 35-40 people. Our friends have a really nice fire-pit so we did it at their house. We didn't get rained on - even though the sky threatened rain. The kids had a blast, got nice and dirty, came home for showers and crashed for the night. I love cubscouts.

I think this was in 2004. It was Nephi's first trip to the beach. The boys were all so little! My have they grown.

Meet the Parents...Russell and Candace
It all started for us when Russell left for Cape Town South Africa on a mission. Candace felt inspired to write him - so she did! We wrote for 3 1/2 years. Candace came home from her mission to the Texas Houston East Mission and we dated for 5 months. We married in July 1994 and have been happy ever after!
