I haven't felt like writing very much since my last post a couple weeks ago about my sister and their baby passing away. It was so wonderful to have Tifani and her family here with us the past couple weeks. We were all getting used to having them around again and it just felt like they lived here. We shared some special moments together and created some wonderful memories. Good things they will be back home for good in June:)!
My next few posts are just some fun things that we did together. We decided to make smores and have hot chocolate at my parents. I don't know why smores are so yummy to me but they are! I could have sat out there for hours around the fire...enjoying the fresh air...enjoying the good company...and eating smores! It was really nice!
When we lived back in Iowa I mastered making smores in my oven. It was so dang cold outside that it wasn't even worth trying to get a fire going out back. So I improvised and it worked out quite nicely. I always craved them later at night at about 10pm. I would look out my front window and see if our neighbors (the Kook's) lights were on. I knew they always appreciated a yummy treat even if it was a little late. So here I am this crazy girl running across the street at 10 o'clock at night, knocking on their window, bringing Sara and Tom smores. They just laughed at me and called me the devil but they loved them anyway. I think that's when I started loving smores so much...all the way back to our Iowa days...I really do miss those days:) Good Times!

Hello! I'm so glad you commented on my blog! A couple months ago I noticed a comment of yours on Kelly and Roy's blog. I saw you again on your sister's blog and made the connection. I think Tifani is so great. We know each other from a ward in Denver. I love blogs because it makes it so easy to stay in touch and of course, make new friends :) Kelly was one of my best friends in high school. She and Roy are awesome! What a small world.
Seeing you with those smore's totally reminded me of those Iowa days!! Wasn't a fire caused because of those smore's one day!! Reading your blog made me totally miss all of you guys. We really do need to get together sometimes!!
We miss you so much!!
Isn't it just the best to be able to hang out with family? It's my favorite thing in the world. These pics made me happy looking at them. I want to hear about your oven smores...I am intrigued. You might just have to let me sample sometime.
Haha! I totally remember those Iowa smores days!! Sometimes when I'm really desperate for one, I'll roast my marshmallow over the stove and create a ghetto smore! Yum! Those look delicious!!
