THIS PAST WEEKEND and a GOODIE....

Our horses and the view behind our home

We finally got a bit of snow! This year has been so strange, we got a snow storm about like this in November and haven't had any snow since then. This past weekend we got this much again. I love watching what the storms do with the red rock mountains behind our home.

We had a little slobbery little visitor this weekend and I

just couldn't stop kissing those little chubby cheeks!

At her bed time, her daddy and mommie enjoyed reading her a

story book...her daddy really enjoyed them I think! LOL

Lindsey loved reading her little girl story books that she was read as a little one.
This book you can stick your finger through the holes and make legs or arms etc.
for the characters in the story. I have kept all my children's books and now their
children can enjoy them too.

Sophia is 6 1/2 months...has been sitting up since she

was 4 months and now she wants to walk! She loves

to stand like this and this weekend she also said her

first word! I was throwing my hands up in the air and

saying.."Ta Da"..and she mimicked me by doing and

and saying it too! Seems like the little ones are so eager

to do everything so early now!

Getting a ride on her cousin Kelton's shoulders

Headed to visit family...As you can see, Sophia has discovered her tongue...

She was constantly wrinkling up her nose and biting on her tongue. To me,
she looked like a little bumble bee when she does it!

The last few days have been calm, no wind, just mild winter days..so nice.

I wanted to share a muffin recipe with you, it's simple and so delicious!

PECAN PIE MUFFINS

1 cup light brown sugar
2 eggs (beaten)
2/3 cup softened butter
1/2 cup flour
1 cup chopped pecans

Preheat oven to 350'
Grease a muffin pan (regular, but I like the miniature pans best.)
Mix together the brown sugar, eggs and butter.
Then add the flour and nuts. Mix by hand, and then
pour the mixture into the muffin pan so each cup in 3/4 full.
Bake for 20-25 minutes for regular size muffins, around 18 min.
and at 325' for mini ones. You could even frost these if you wanted..
They make the house smell so good while they are baking too!

Just to share...
