I wanna see how big your BRAVE is!

I am in love with this new song by Sara Bareilles. Thank you Sara for your positive creativity!!   As you can see, I originally posted this when I first heard the song. It is now Dec. 1st, and Brave has become pretty popular as the year has gone on, and even saw a recent spike in the charts when there was a fuss from some fans that Katy Perry had "stolen" from Brave when she did her hit song "Roar."  haha Anyway, there have been lots of covers of this song lately, and several music videos that warmed my heart.  But, I saw this one today, and it had me in tears.  This is what life is all about.  Thanks again Sarah for inspiring the goodness in so many people this year!

Kix's Junior Prom

April 13th, 2013 with Kix's girlfriend from Fleming, Rachel Frantz. What lovely children they are.  :) At Rachel's house before Fleming's Prom, which was in Sterling at the Country Club. March 25th, 2013:  Kix and Rachel at Merino's Prom.  It was supposed to be on the Saturday the 23rd, but got snowed out and moved to Monday the 25th.  Kix flew out with Larry for Larissa's mission send-off party instead of driving with the rest of us on Monday. Kix and Rachel at Merino's Prom, Sterling Elks Lodge.

My 7 recipes

By
Image
**(Dec. 10th) OK - I lied- it's 8 recipes. Taysa and I made sugar cookies yesterday, and I realized I left those out of this list - so technically it's 9 if you count the recipe for frosting..... I only use 7 recipes. I don't only cook 7 things. It's just that I don't use recipes. For example, I make spaghetti with meat sauce, chilli, different soups, enchiladas, crock pot stuff, etc.  but I just throw things together and shake in the spices. There is rarely a recipe involved.   Baking, on the other hand, does require measuring stuff.  During the first few years of our marriage, I tried lots of different recipes, mostly ones that I got from my mom. I tweaked them a bit early on, but now I pretty much use these 7, and that's just what I bake. All the time. Chocolate Chip Cookies These win everyone over. Every time.
