June 2013

June came and went with not a whole lot of action. I made a last minute trip down to Utah to help my sister get ready for a trial mission. Other than that we mainly just played. We did celebrate Stefens birthday by getting a brand new NICE camera. We are in heaven! That of course came with shots of Hulk.
Hulk seriously LOVES this toy! 

action shot!

Stefen took a bunch of photos when he should have been working! 

Stefen found this waterfall while working one day.

Hulk got into a spider web.

I made this yummy jello cookies for an activity I did. Seriously they were sooo good! 

It rained really hard one Sunday night.

So I played in the rain.

Stefen got new work boots and Hulk had to model it!

While in Utah I got to see my Brielle and Jayden! Can you believe how HUGE she it! I just love her!

Jayden had to show me all his faces!

I got to see my grandpa too! This was the best shot I could get out of him! He just wanted to eat the goodies I brought him.

My "little brother" Orion went through the temple while I was there. This was his celebratory dinner. He left for his LDS mission to Ghana Africa shortly after.

Chocolate balls...

Every Christmas my Grandma and Grandpa make these wonder rich amazing chocolate balls. Now the way my grandma makes it verses how we made it work is completely different. Ill give you her version then how we did it.



Ingredients:
A Large tub of whip topping
3 LARGE chocolate bars
cookie coating (we used cinnamon graham crackers and it was really good)
Nuts (if you want. I am not a nut person)

Make sure you leave the cool whip out on the counter for 15 min prior to making the dessert.
Melt all the chocolate in a bowl in the microwave, you dont want it too hot or to chunky. After chocolate is melted pour the cool whip in and nuts if desired and mix. (this is where we ran into problems. Ill get to those in a sec)
Roll into balls (we just used our cookie scoop) and roll into the cookie crumbs and place on plate.
Refrigerate

Okay the problems we ran into. When we mixed the whip topping in with the chocolate it hardened to quickly and it wasnt becoming smooth. I was mixing it with a spatula. So we poured the mixture into the kitchen aid and whipped it that way. However the chocolate had still solidified to fast. So we put the whole kitchen aid bowel into the oven and melted it that way (at 450 F for 3 minutes). It was much more smooth. We did have to freeze it for a while so we could make balls, but the chocolate wasnt solid anymore. If you have questions let me know!
