I just made the best thing ever.

No lie.

I may never eat anything else again.

"What is it?" you're wondering.

Lemon squares.

That's right folks.

Lemon squares.

But these aren't your run-of-the-mill,

goopy, bright yellow monstrosities

covered with a layer of powdered sugar

just waiting to choke you.

(Is there anything worse than inhaling a lungful of

powdered sugar just as you take a bite of

what's supposed to be a delicious treat?

I submit that there is not.)

Any how. . .

Here's the secret recipe.

I got it from a food blogger

who got it from a can of Eagle Brand.

(Doesn't that look beautiful?)

Caramel Apple Fun

As a celebratory Hoo Rah! that the weather is finally cooling off and Fall is "in the air", we made caramel apples together as a family. It was so fun and the kids loved the chance to get sticky and messy without mommy getting after them. It brought back the memory of a little song we sang as kids, "Caramel apples on a stick... Makes my tummy SICK SICK SICK!!!" We all agreed that the sick tummies afterward were well worth it.

Owen Michael Freebairn has Arrived!!

Rub a Dub Rub . . . on some lotion.

Just thought I'd post a picture of my Bath and Body Works haul. It's missing a nail file 'cause I used it already, but pretty great deal. The coupon expires on Saturday, 4/12. I spent $12.50 total. You only have to pay for the small item as long as the other item is under $11, but the Air Freshner thing was $12, so I paid an extra $1 for that, $1 for the mini-lotions and $1.50 for the files (didn't see the lotions 'til I'd bought 5 files :( )plus tax of course. The body creams I got were the 8 oz. ones that are $10.50 regular price. Let me know if you need me to e-mail you the coupon again, they'll let you print and use as many as you'd like. I chose to just do it 8 times, that didn't seem out of control and made my trip worth it to me.

We'd like you to stay and visit if you can, feel free to bring a treat to share. Thanks, we'll see you all there (here)!

Zac & Chelsea are grandparents!

We got home from FHE tonight and Zac found these in with his hamster! His and Chelsea's hamsters were only together for a few days. I guess Zac needs to change Theodore's name now.

We started a blog!

So we started our own blog. The address is tkreber.blogspot.com. We'll post here too, but I don't want to monopolize. Love ya!

Cole's Baptism

Cole was baptized today! Alexa gave a talk and a demonstration about Baptism and Zac gave a talk about the Holy Ghost. It's nice to see him growing up into a nice young man.

There's a book for everything now!

We talked Jon and Zac into helping. Don't they all look cold?
