New Shindig

I am FINALLY posting pictures of my new apartment per request a persistent little sister. Sorry LIV! So out new little place it just that. Little. We love it here though, and are so grateful we found a place that has two bedrooms and that was a SCREAMIN deal. It was a wonderful blessing. Enjoy the awkward angles of the pictures - again, think little. 

I know my bedroom looks a little.... well, lacking personality..but our pictures are on the other walls, which I chose not to show you my covered dressers. So picture some dressers on the other wall with some cute family pictures above them. 

Well, thats our little abode. Thanks for joining us on the tour! (Yep, I made that fun wreath - and I LOVE it) 

Wave to me!

There is the a sweet Asian gentlemen that waves to me in the morning. It is sweet that he waves, but what really makes me smile is his actual wave. He waves like an excited 6 year old that is just getting off the most exciting ride at the nearest theme park. He is genuine, and sweet, and so excited to see each driver on his walk each morning. Just wanted to note something that makes me smile each day.

YUMMY Corn Chowder

I thought I better write this one down because I simply made some of it up - But it turned out rather yummy!

CORN CHOWDER
1/2 lb country sausage
1 red pepper - DICED
1 small onion - DICED
SAUTE together Drain if there is excess grease

In large pot:
Sausage mixture
2 Tb butter
1 Can creamed corn
1 Can corn
4 C chicken broth
Boil for 15 minutes then ADD:
2 C milk
5 Small Potatoes cut into bite size pieces

Mix together 2 T Flour and a little water to make a paste. Add to soup and simmer for 30 minutes

The recipes I read before hand called for bacon instead of sausage and celery instead of red bell pepper, but I thought this was VERY yummy.

Little things to remember...

Cross country drive:
Wyoming
Colorado - Stayed the night in Burlington
          Henry was out of bed at 445 am looking for his juice and talking to us as it it were 8am
Kanarado - A small city on the border of Colorado and Kansas - Clever huh
Kansas - Amazing Sunflower farms everywhere! Oil wells. Near and surrounding Kansas City there was road                construction which was a bit of a drag, but they had rather funny, but very polite signs regarding the construction.  "We know one LANE is such a PAIN!" There was a VERY scary rain and lightening storm as we left Missour the morning after the game.
         ROYALS VS YANKEES! Very fun game
Independence MS
Indian
Ohio - HUGE spider webs in the trees in Ohio. JUST KIDDING. It was cotton.
Pennsylvania
Maryland
HOME!
The first three days were great! By the fourth, unfortunately for my sweet husband I started to get a little grumpy. But he was so sweet and patient with me. He did all but about 5 hours of the driving! What a man! Love you honey -

EARTHQUAKE! 4-23-2011

Well, as so many already are aware, we experienced and earthquake yesterday! It was SCARY! And mild, but nevertheless we(I) was really shaken up. It started as a low rumble, and I asked Josh was that was. He didnt respond as he was waiting and feeling for more. There was more. The rumble got slightly worse and I asked if he thought it was an earthquake - He said "Yes" I then became a little more nervous, asked in a rushed tone where he thought we should be and flew under my kitchen table with Henry. My only thoughts were that it was going to get worse and we needed to be somewhere safe. It turns out that it was a very shallow but wide reaching quake. Thank goodness no one was hurt, and there is very little damage. Noted damage: Some of the spires on the DC Temple have cracked or fallen off, and there is a cathedral in DC with some damage. There are rumors that the Washington Monument has some cracks near the top and is closed until further notice for more inspection. I am just truly grateful we are safe. Sorry for all the worry people experienced in SLC. Our phones were out of service for several hours and the majority of DC was evacuated and the phone and networks were swamped. Here is the little damage we experienced.

Bear Lake with the Girls - Most of em anyway

I mentioned to my mom that I didn't think I would be able to make it up to Bear Lake over the next few weekends before we leave due to it being just a little crazy as we prepare to leave SLC for VA again. I also mentioned that if by chance she wanted to make a mid-week run I could prolly make that happen. Well we rounded up Jame, Car, myself, Mom, and 3 of the babies, and spent some time up there. It was so much fun to dilly dally along as we did some shopping and eating in Logan. We enjoyed watching the babies play in the pool for a couple hours and visited, and laughed. We drove about 1/2 way around the lake, and enjoyed a morning at raspberry days. I just want my mom to know how much that time meant to me. I loved that mini road trip, and I am so thankful we were able to do that. LOVE YOU!

HENRY, ADDIE, FINN

Aww...Sleeping Babies. What PEACE! :)

My moms neighbor. Just thought it was a pretty picture

Yucky sweet pork burritos. Sorry Cafe Sabor! We wont be back. 

This is an amazing home and it belonged to the 3 wives of my Great Great Grandfather Pugmire. I wish I could see it inside-

Such silly things at raspberry days, but we had so much fun.

You prolly cant tell, but Henry has taken his shoe off to have a conversation as if he were on the phone... Silly boy. He does this often.

What?

Beautiful Bear Lake and My handsome boys

We enjoyed a wonderful weekend in Bear Lake. Josh was able to get some really beautiful pictures, but here are just a few I got. 

Day 15 — Next 3 on “Bucket List”

This is my SUMMER IN UTAH bucket list
1. Go camping - That entails smores, fishin for the husband, sleeping in a tent, maybe a hike, and enjoying nature! (anybody have a tent we can borrow?! - JK)

2. Manti Pageant

3. Lagoon

Day 14 — Your dream house...

while this home isnt EXACTLY what I would call my dream home, it's close. The neighborhood? Well, if we end up in UT I would love to be in the Sugarhouse or Salt Lake City area. This home is beautiful, while on the other hand an older fixer uper would be a lot of fun too.

Day 13 — What did you do today??

Today we visited Grandma and Grandpa Snow's childhood homes. It was a very neat experience. Thanks Grandpa!

Happy Birthday Lovey! 26 years!

Josh got a BOW TIE birthday cake this year! Happy Birthday sweety! We love you so much and are so blessed to have you as a husband and daddy! 

Day 12 — A favorite quote

It means no worries...for the rest of your days.....

Hi Again - Its been awhile, but I'm still out here

Hi Universe,
Just wanted to take a moment and let you know we are still out here. It has been a whirlwind month for the Snow family. The last several weeks have been as follows:
April was "FINALS MONTH" - My sweet husband spent a great deal of time studying and preparing for finals while I spent a great deal of time organizing and packing for our big move. Welp - Finals ended and we made out to UT just in time for Jessica's wedding. It was a beautiful day, despite the surprise snow in the morning and she looked beautiful. Josh was sick from the time, it seemed, that we landed right up until the following Wednesday - the day he left for DC with his brother to continue our packing, put our stuff into storage, and make the long drive out here in our car so we had some transportation while we stay in SLC. During his leave, Henry and I visited my parents in St. Charles, ID. It had been almost 2 years since I had been up there and it was just as beautiful as I remember. Cold, and and my allergies were driving me crazy, but it was beautiful. That weekend was Mother's day, and I was grateful I was able to spend it with my wonderful Mother. We made some yummy food and watched some fun movies. We went for a quick ride on a four wheeler and attended church with her and my dad. I did miss my sweet husband as he was driving somewhere in Ohio that day... but we had a Mother's Day Moment before he left and guess what he surprised me with??
a NEW PINK ipod nano!
The face on my old one had broken and fallen off. What a sweet husband. Henry got me the new Adele CD which is now on my new ipod, and I listen to her while im in the car AND while I run. I just want to thank my sweet boys for a wonderful Mother's day Moment. I love them so much!
Well, after we enjoyed Bear Lake I was off to spend a few days with 6 of my nieces and nephews while my sister and her husband enjoyed a business trip in Texas. We had so much fun despite all the worry people had placed in my head. I would be spending two days with 4 kids old enough to be in school all day and 3 babies! The older kids were an amazing help and while they were in school... the babies just played together until their naps. They were so much fun. We had FHE, and made caramel french toast, and we made taffy and went out for pizza... We had a lot of fun.
The day I got home from my adventure with all of those kids so did my sweet husband. And a week and a half later we are still just adjusting and spending a lot of time together. Josh starts work on Monday which I am sure now will be another small adjustment for me, but meh...thats what life's about right?
PS- We have already celebrated 3 birthdays out here.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY:
LINDA! (may 11)
DAD! (may 15)
and..
CARLY (may 16)

2 pork tenderloins (2 1/2 lb. total), each tenderloin cut into two chunks
2 tablespoons olive oil

Glaze ingredients:

Roast in the middle of the oven until a thermometer inserted diagonally in center of each tenderloin registers 140, about 25 minutes. Let pork stand in the skillet at room temperature for 10 minutes. The temperature will rise to about 155 while standing. Slice on the diagonal and serve, spooning the sauce from the skillet on top of the pork.

Andes Mint Truffles...

These baking chips were .87 at Target this week. I am definitely going to have to try this recipe. 

Andes Mint Truffles:

(Return to Andes Creme de Menthe Recipes)

Ingredients:

3 tablespoons sweet butter cut into pieces and softened
1 tablespoon milk
2 egg yolks at room temperature
1 cup cocoa powder
1 cup Andes® Crème de Menthe Baking Chips
1 tablespoon Brandy or Rum (optional)

Directions:

Place Andes chips in heavy gauge saucepan. Cover pan and place in a frypan containing about 1 inch of hot, not boiling water set over low heat. Water around saucepan should come up to the ingredients inside the saucepan.

Set timer for 10-15 minutes depending on the amount of ingredients in the saucepan. Allow Andes to melt undisturbed making sure the water bath does not bubble or boil.

When timer goes off, remove cover and stir with wire whisk until smooth. Cool 5 minutes.

Beat egg yolk lightly, add a spoonful of candy mixture to the yolks and stir. Add the yolks to the candy in the pan and whisk. Mixture may become grainy; don't be alarmed. Add milk and brandy and whisk until smooth.

With whisk or hand-held electric mixer, beat in the butter piece by piece until smooth. Cover with plastic wrap pressed gently against the truffles mixture and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.

To form truffles, scoop out by teaspoons, shape into irregular balls, roll in cocoa powder and shake off excess cocoa.

Place on plate or jellyroll pan, cover with plastic wrap and store in refrigerator. Remove from refrigerator 30 minutes before serving. If desired, place each truffle in paper candy cup.

Yield:

24 Truffles

Day 07 — Something I want to buy

Now this is one I can do.... Here's my little list....
I lost Henry's Camelbak and I want to get him this one! Its cute huh.
I love these.... I know. It's a little outside my box, and of course they would require a whole array of new clothes in my closet, but I found a blog of a girl who wears these some days, and with the right wardrobe they would be so fun to own. http://tandsdaybook.blogspot.com/ She just has some super fun style!

Day 06 — Something I bought recently

SORRY! I know I am late, but I havent known what to post today and then a friend reminded me of a great deal I snagged recently.
I have a hobby of finding really great deals! Actually, it's more like I seem to run into them fairly often... So here's one of my great finds.

I bought these pants at OLD NAVY for .49 Cheapest pair of jeans I will ever own.

Day 03 — A favorite photo

I loved this weekend. I love my husband, and I love this picture

Day 02— An accomplishment I am most proud of in my life and why

Hmmm... I almost didn't want to write today for the subject I had no interest in. To say that I am PROUD  of one of MY accomplishments.... well it seems to be more work to come up with one then I felt good about, with my lack of a degree, and my desire to try and then fail nearly almost ALL of my recent hobbies.... but I can say that I am most proud my family. I am proud to be the mommy to a rambunctious, happy toddler. I am proud to be married to such a determined man. I feel my greatest accomplishment in my life thus far is my family, even if I had all that other stuff. Nuff said.

Day 01 — Something you are OCD about

Having my toenails painted. Its a must. I am not always great at maintaining a beautiful new coat of paint, but they must be painted! My mom was alway a believer the a girls' gotta have a really great red, which I too am a strong believer of, however I alway think a girls' gotta have a really great purple. I lost my favorite purple when I lent it to a friend, and havent been able to replace it just yet. But until then, I am happy to go on with my favorite reds.

Sleeping baby

I am certain I have used that title before. However it's my slot to write. I have discovered something about myself while blog surfing. I am a terrible writer! I love to blog, and I LOVE to post sweet pictures of Henry, but when it comes to my blog, I'm not so great. Often times I feel I have nothing grand to contribute to my blog so why write, however I have been inspired by a friends blog and am attempting to blog everyday for the next 28 days. Here are my subjects to make it a little easier to come up with something to say..... (thanks for the idea Cami!)

March 17, 2011 - 4 Years Married, Eternity to go

I am so grateful for my sweet husband. We celebrated 4 wonderful years of marriage this week and I spent much of the week reminiscing all of the amazing memories we have shared together. I did this for two reasons, 1. of course because March 17th marked 4 incredible years, and 2. because we are moving to SLC for the summer and I have seized this opportunity to ORGANIZE! (more to come regarding our move, and my organizing skills..or LACK THEREOF) I have been able to dig through 4 LARGE boxes filled with amazing pictures, and trinkets and packages. For those that don't know, let me share our story just bit. Josh and I met when he was 17, and I 16 in our high school seminary class. A bit cliche? Well...we did. We were awkwardly paired up for a rousing game of scripture battleship. He teased me for cheating and I him and we became friends instantly. We were both dating other people at the time (as much as you can be "dating" someone in hs) and Josh was preparing to graduate, begin college, and then not long after leave for a mission. However, we were inseparable. We spent a great deal of time emailing, chatting, and visiting on our walks from seminary. Well, my sweet best friend left on his mission to the Philippines with the agreement between us that if I would date, and may or may not be around when he got home. About 3 weeks into his mission I knew I would be here for him when he got home. We wrote, I cried every night for the first year and after 2 long, faithful years he came home to me. We were married 7 1/2 months later and in our four years we have moved across the nation, have completed a bachelors (well he has), have made it halfway through grad school, have an incredibly beautiful son, and are still so much in love.
I was surprised to find that Josh wanted to plan our anniversary evening and I was happy to let him do so. He arranged for a babysitter (Thank you Heidi!) and I met him at school after his evening class ended. We then walked through the city a bit and ended up at Old Ebbit Grill for dinner. For those that dont know Old Ebbit Grill it is Washington DC's OLDEST saloon, and said to be among several Presidents favorite. There was a bagpiper just outside the restaurant, which although it was very loud, we enjoyed it very much. (it dawned on me that we have spent 3 of our 4 anniversaries in DC - Cool huh...) The food was wonderful, the restaurant was an experience and the company could not have been better. Thank you for 4 incredible years baby. I love you forever, with everything that I have and am.

So Blessed!

I just felt the need to express my gratitude I have for my family and friends! I felt so loved on my birthday with everyones thoughtfulness. I spent the saturday before my birthday with my husband and sweet little boy in Washington DC exploring the American History Museum, and having lunch at Ben's Chili Bowl! I was then dropped off only to be surprised by some friends with a party! It is fun to share a birthday with a close friend and we enjoyed our party the thoughtfulness of our friends! On my actual birthday we visited Mt. Vernon for just a bit in the morning after my sweet husband made me breakfast, enjoyed a relaxing afternoon, and an enjoyable dinner with some shopping afterwards. My sweet husband gave me some sneakers that snap up the side...(I have LOVED this style of shoe for 3 years or more, it was amazing he remembered!) and an adorable mustard yellow shirt, both from one of my FAVORITE stores: H&M. My mom, dad, and sister gave me a Red LeCreuset casserole dish. I had written MONTHS ago how much I LOVED these dishes and would someday collect them in all colors and sizes. I love it! My sisters sent me my Brighton Bracelet. It is engraved "Embrace the Journey," which has been my motto for life lately. I look at this bracelet EVERY time I visit the mall. I have wanted it for probably a year now! I am just so amazed and feel so loved to know that the people around my care so much about me. My mother-in-law bought my coat that I wear every day now, and sent me a gift card to our favorite ice cream place! My dear friend Kate sent me a package with the works! She sent valentines, some adorable art work for my birthday with party favors and confetti, and a cute green and white scarf for St. Patrick's Day which just happens to by my wedding anniversary. I LOVE YOU ALL! Thank you for making my birthday one to remember. I truly am so so so blessed!

Yummy!

This recipe is from one of my favorite recipe blogs.... It was SOO Yummy! I NEVER cook with pork because I havent had the best experience cooking with it, but this I will definitely do again! The meat was so tender and yummy. SO GOOD!

Happy Valentines Day to the Universe and of course the LOVE of my life. Thank you for being an amazing father, husband and best friend.

Anyone who lives near me knows that today is BEAUTIFUL outside! Can we say SPRING?! It is a wonderful 52(ish) degrees outside and Henry and I have already spent some of the morning playing on the playground coatless. In long sleeves of course but still.... Enjoy this amazing weather and fun holiday! I know we will be!

Happy 8 Years baby. Can you believe it? Love you!

Exploding Crust?

You cant tell, but underneath that exploding crust is a yummy chicken pot pie. I thought some might find this funny. I tried the bisquick recipe for chicken pot pie crust, doubled the recipe because what it made the first time just didnt seem like enough and...VOILA! Uh... I'll remember this for next time. It was very good though.

Did you know that.....

My husband has a love for taking pictures. I am so excited for this hobby of his. He enjoys capturing beautiful places, and I am grateful he has taken more interest in this hobby more recently. Enjoy his new photo journal blog called Fuzzy Memories. Goodluck sweethart!
