It feels good to be back. <div><div><br /><div></div><div>Tried 3 new ones this week. The first one was made without lasagna noodles as you can see from the picture. A little more kid friendly at our house. The Chex mix was hard to quit eating while it was laying around. I did pop in the oven for 10-15 min on 300 degrees and layed out on wax paper because I must not have boiled the mix long enough in the microwave...the stickiness wouldn't harden. And the pears...oh the pears...did I tell you I love pears and I have found my newest favorite recipe with pears. And very easy I might add. We did not add raisins, honey or yogurt to them. Enjoy!</div><br /><div><a href="http://stolenmomentscooking.com/chicken-lasagna/"><span style="color:#cc0000;">Chicken Lasagna</span></a> </div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2WkEl_LH0O4BBZ1yyu8fYiREtforSbvhQCSPL6TW-gclnnkALrXCpCu0a2A7jkLaHPAQvONKPVYDXaj-A-n8MeyuUnh7UFRVuHODYudw7R6J5kZpvmyLyEjbkTuFtqpb0TJ3ELFurtvQ/s1600/Chicken+Lasagna+2.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5562177275376685314" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2WkEl_LH0O4BBZ1yyu8fYiREtforSbvhQCSPL6TW-gclnnkALrXCpCu0a2A7jkLaHPAQvONKPVYDXaj-A-n8MeyuUnh7UFRVuHODYudw7R6J5kZpvmyLyEjbkTuFtqpb0TJ3ELFurtvQ/s400/Chicken+Lasagna+2.JPG" /></a><br /><div></div><br /><div><a href="http://wiseanticsoflife.blogspot.com/2008/12/bet-you-cant-eat-just-one.html"><span style="color:#cc0000;">Sweet Chex Mix with Almonds & Coconut</span></a></div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-TzjCDjtdbxPbo9PHaKB82WGb_eHegzK2PHN-qFzT0di1WT9X3xwP_ByNd3GMC_e30mkhIZNtTiBAKxWCqhEpsQjdVIWmeltjbKYa31fonATU3fz2qnzPxSAcNAIy5gRiRoFCgA91Bq4/s1600/Sweet+Chex+Mix.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5562177284788283698" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-TzjCDjtdbxPbo9PHaKB82WGb_eHegzK2PHN-qFzT0di1WT9X3xwP_ByNd3GMC_e30mkhIZNtTiBAKxWCqhEpsQjdVIWmeltjbKYa31fonATU3fz2qnzPxSAcNAIy5gRiRoFCgA91Bq4/s400/Sweet+Chex+Mix.JPG" /></a><br /><div></div><div><a href="http://kitchensimplicity.com/roasted-pear-crisps/"><span style="color:#cc0000;"><br />Roasted Pear Crisps</span></a></div><br /></div></div><br /><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8I_PbaIxJyfw8iMZ5ytNcRlPHX_i5ChG3IvJEpVtYbph5frp3eX_883DY2GFrPgkKGJrum_mq8yNn1omRbS5ScT6R0XQ5u_SSpWtbCM5L4vWBrbvRz2qwzsGwEclay2WdeIPv1cg9RrA/s1600/Roasted+Pear+Crips"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 213px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5562177273870555874" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8I_PbaIxJyfw8iMZ5ytNcRlPHX_i5ChG3IvJEpVtYbph5frp3eX_883DY2GFrPgkKGJrum_mq8yNn1omRbS5ScT6R0XQ5u_SSpWtbCM5L4vWBrbvRz2qwzsGwEclay2WdeIPv1cg9RrA/s400/Roasted+Pear+Crips" /></a></p><p><span style="font-size:78%;">roasted pear crips photo credit kitchen simplicity.com</span></p>Lynch Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01066576690356109694noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5358133662457343590.post-62947590088841654042010-12-10T11:51:00.001-08:002010-12-10T12:03:26.110-08:00Basic Vanilla ShortbreadDid I have time to try this today? Not really but I think you will be glad I did.<br /><div></div><br /><div>This was easy peasy...the only thing I had to do was set out 3 sticks of butter to room temperature. The rest came together fast! If you are resisting the 3 sticks of butter, I hear ya! The great thing about this recipe is you can divide it and try all four recipes or one if you want. I didn't try the lemon glazed ones because I divided my dough in thirds so my shortbread would spread in an 8x8 pan (who has a 7x7? if you click on the link and read the recipe you will understand). They are yummy!</div><div></div><div></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieMmcXmR8IbwyUnncT1OT0fsGp1sMPlSuFSaRGtaG1JKbYO6j_H0qhcZrP1LXMSxEMOI-X9VDKM2EwN8BWHJXYirbc6h_ymOwp8gODT4vSGi1n_y_myFf_TuobEV1bvETDco9Q7QT_BkM/s1600/Simple+Shortbread.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 275px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5549144661448205186" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieMmcXmR8IbwyUnncT1OT0fsGp1sMPlSuFSaRGtaG1JKbYO6j_H0qhcZrP1LXMSxEMOI-X9VDKM2EwN8BWHJXYirbc6h_ymOwp8gODT4vSGi1n_y_myFf_TuobEV1bvETDco9Q7QT_BkM/s400/Simple+Shortbread.jpg" /></a></div><div><em><span style="font-size:78%;">Pic by simplebites.net</span></em></div><div></div><div></div><div><a href="http://www.simplebites.net/simple-shortbread-one-recipe-four-cookies/"><span style="color:#ff0000;">simplebites.net/simple-shortbread-one-recipe-four-cookies/</span></a><span style="color:#ff0000;"> </span></div><div><span style="color:#ff0000;"> </div></span><div>Recipe by Ina Garten from The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook</div>Lynch Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01066576690356109694noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5358133662457343590.post-1515533930383997272010-12-10T10:57:00.000-08:002010-12-10T11:50:17.287-08:00Without ObligationI always laugh to myself when I read a blog that is apologizing for not posting, while I understand what they are saying I really believe blogging should be without obligation. REAL life demands enough without feeling like we need to apologize in blogger world for not being able to keep up. That being said we all have our own list of standards for ourselves and when we fall short I guess it is human nature to bring everyone else up to speed with why and where we have been.<br /><br />So I have let myself down. Not gonna cry over it or anything but my goal to print this out someday as a simple journal for us to look back on will now be missing a chunk of fall 2010. The ebb and flow of my life revolves around organization - its just what makes me tick so its kinda hard to move forward but due to reality its just not gonna happen.

Doug wondered why we were doing this? It was the only "cheap" option for us. :) We were excited but ready to sleep after an hour. Lucky Doug! He sat beside a man who was excited to meet his son who is in the marines (enjoyed talking) and in front of 2 little kids and their mom who did not care that they talked all night with the light on! Flying. It is all you remember and more!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsLvDYu1o-IGqHBMCZLL67pdqTzuNZMTIr8-WrHhYnWDKrq-2iuapbR8ERX8F03iuZGHZV0tZiZn7kKnZS0ofYOhctsJsDXs-fmZHgn7_ioop18zYJxQRnBwxY-hwQaqjYEgkO9UnS_-Q/s1600/IMGP2655.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5528754197456470226" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsLvDYu1o-IGqHBMCZLL67pdqTzuNZMTIr8-WrHhYnWDKrq-2iuapbR8ERX8F03iuZGHZV0tZiZn7kKnZS0ofYOhctsJsDXs-fmZHgn7_ioop18zYJxQRnBwxY-hwQaqjYEgkO9UnS_-Q/s400/IMGP2655.JPG" /></a><br /><br />Monday: A.

Even though she spends alot of time in her pink chair known as "pinky" I loved spending that time with her and enjoying all that personality she still has.

Rhonda and the kids at their "house". They used to live in a little house here and U. Joe decided to build a bigger one to live in but it is a work in process...for several years now. It has an elevator shaft, a library, a sunroom that she will do tea parties in, it is 3 stories and I think there are around 70 + or - windows, to say the least it will be a lovely home when they get it done. Fun to hear their dreams for their home!</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1NCvXj2wwns9QroZrOqJm6RLT1iu2YxtVEvvDt1L5IGFrLhCbLO1lWVlCXX-EobTXhKjKDZ66kwCwA5qKL-NZpFLKrvSX4MF594hHSnefQyZklpan-ynqdcQOqmNUWp1zmtuWgfrqOvE/s1600/IMGP2686.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5528753161286317218" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1NCvXj2wwns9QroZrOqJm6RLT1iu2YxtVEvvDt1L5IGFrLhCbLO1lWVlCXX-EobTXhKjKDZ66kwCwA5qKL-NZpFLKrvSX4MF594hHSnefQyZklpan-ynqdcQOqmNUWp1zmtuWgfrqOvE/s400/IMGP2686.JPG" /></a></div><div></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7a3VUgmvYUYIzJphNIwvjzXRYPcEvXdkxaxTDdcyTNY0voEdmRTGyu2X0493SIPiSx1OemSPy1LDyFX4804YufHAH3OUAc5RqbedasvRnHIu4SFu2h0lmmJdlt5XzFf70jUod1Hp_YiA/s1600/IMGP2687.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5528757827846285746" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7a3VUgmvYUYIzJphNIwvjzXRYPcEvXdkxaxTDdcyTNY0voEdmRTGyu2X0493SIPiSx1OemSPy1LDyFX4804YufHAH3OUAc5RqbedasvRnHIu4SFu2h0lmmJdlt5XzFf70jUod1Hp_YiA/s400/IMGP2687.JPG" /></a><br /><br />I went with A. Cindy to take Gma to the doctor and Doug stayed and cleaned up the carport since all the family was coming over that night. Here is Jasmine...you will see her treehouse later in this post. She is so much fun! She went along to take us to the airport and she wanted Ryan's ds game so bad...she kept poking me "Paaaaam-game". She couldn't get her mind off of it so I thought I will lean up so she can't reach me and maybe she will forget. Her mom was getting tired of trying to get her mind on something else. I felt a poke while Sara and I were talking. I turned around and here she had taken her straw out of her soda and was able to "reach me still". We had a good laugh over that one! </div><div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht1WTaR1-h9dZszwBzuBohfD0S_FFsJHdWbk6hMic7oMnSe5EIQ0X6hsxttcKJNjMxCwjOUo5MxKTVz3UfRIBrlELEhiTVGrt7f9QidMF2WLulXRP04r8ub-JOnMmk1o9CQRdT6L6WXsw/s1600/IMG_5355.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5528761863455430930" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht1WTaR1-h9dZszwBzuBohfD0S_FFsJHdWbk6hMic7oMnSe5EIQ0X6hsxttcKJNjMxCwjOUo5MxKTVz3UfRIBrlELEhiTVGrt7f9QidMF2WLulXRP04r8ub-JOnMmk1o9CQRdT6L6WXsw/s400/IMG_5355.JPG" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>Sara and Denver</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg7nATWmUgEynEQD9y6gS82XZIHLmbAtFCbovoOJlPJbO7v5PR2F6wLFgXDlRzQAQC6Ss-PHKOZvGJmBDkBzt1HSLJtXmk0BOWfESQkkItWs7jU8q0tOtMwMi_8BTePfjU00PXVSdE-2E/s1600/IMG_5362.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 300px; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5528761881889305906" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg7nATWmUgEynEQD9y6gS82XZIHLmbAtFCbovoOJlPJbO7v5PR2F6wLFgXDlRzQAQC6Ss-PHKOZvGJmBDkBzt1HSLJtXmk0BOWfESQkkItWs7jU8q0tOtMwMi_8BTePfjU00PXVSdE-2E/s400/IMG_5362.JPG" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>Little Tate looking in and he wanted to go see "Opal", Gma Great to him.

Kurt & Annette were there too. Doug had been friends with Jake & Kurt long before Annette, Paula or I were in the picture. They had some fun stories to tell. My camera was acting up again. No pictures to tell the rest of our trips story. </div><div></div><br /><div>Tuesday: Closed up the suitcases and headed to U. Dan & A. Suzannes for lunch. Gpa and Phyllis came with us so we enjoyed a little more family time and knowing we were saying good-bye. Physically I was glad to be heading home but emotionally I was sad to say good-byes. It was a great trip and I am glad we packed it all in! Each day it was familiar faces for me and new faces for my kids but I think its a trip they won't forget. They remind me every now and again about something we did on the trip and that they want to go again real soon. I think to myself "me too". </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Lynch Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01066576690356109694noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5358133662457343590.post-91909833311889895722010-10-05T16:21:00.000-07:002010-10-05T18:28:05.039-07:00Catching up on Summer - JulyThe backyard got a makeover this year!

We startrd picking green beans & tomatoes, eating red & blue potatoes, and anticipating the corn. Sadly we realized it was going to be ready while we were to be gone on a 10 day trip in July. We got home and it was too late. Maybe next year. We did find out later in the summer that a family of racoons had taken up residence in the tank house and were enjoying it! At least something did!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhU9MDfzkPg_ngxW7bolaI-2oBC9IfcmRfpCtg6VZROAjp4TkPzH2wiSYD6FeJih2BBf5lXviKVoQYHSSlIN5BrqY9OPGtJ2wIEtjP6eEUqbwMcvT2QXcs5hJ3EOYkIhbBd2sxKFo6ripE/s1600/IMG_5225.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 300px; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524695793629670146" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhU9MDfzkPg_ngxW7bolaI-2oBC9IfcmRfpCtg6VZROAjp4TkPzH2wiSYD6FeJih2BBf5lXviKVoQYHSSlIN5BrqY9OPGtJ2wIEtjP6eEUqbwMcvT2QXcs5hJ3EOYkIhbBd2sxKFo6ripE/s400/IMG_5225.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMRkoVOYAqu4Is-ZUESIIxHmyzaMXD_9MLw7nQOaSdJQMioxAtOdSpAM99A3Z_aqHlf_TzcEkuLZCVkjTo-rnDBuLJvPEleZl4b14YKKc4PUO-lIV4uyzA6KC65F_WtTmbArK70HyNQvI/s1600/IMG_5209.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 300px; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524695779977695234" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMRkoVOYAqu4Is-ZUESIIxHmyzaMXD_9MLw7nQOaSdJQMioxAtOdSpAM99A3Z_aqHlf_TzcEkuLZCVkjTo-rnDBuLJvPEleZl4b14YKKc4PUO-lIV4uyzA6KC65F_WtTmbArK70HyNQvI/s400/IMG_5209.JPG" /></a></div><div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzieNfaeGhQ_4vSBav1ygLWjuLhlmHRwSeO6l3FvVxkV0-SSL5dAmVhftBhItsbh0bnp5XLBemAJIAQ4zLHrpSuPCJ1iJIOYIyyyQx40_UJFgGvnqwFTC3l-MAiKKcE2RIoQ6Zn7xHcwo/s1600/IMG_5233.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 300px; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524695796882425602" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzieNfaeGhQ_4vSBav1ygLWjuLhlmHRwSeO6l3FvVxkV0-SSL5dAmVhftBhItsbh0bnp5XLBemAJIAQ4zLHrpSuPCJ1iJIOYIyyyQx40_UJFgGvnqwFTC3l-MAiKKcE2RIoQ6Zn7xHcwo/s400/IMG_5233.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcNjmd9c6nAHhlej4AVyQg3g6Rr6kCjq751RoyvTF-ySm0rhjdBxnd11ILbvXt3khSdhOjkszQ1e-Hyl8vjkOLvsjfkYKGRfW29cJoqzxDLHO-Lpz4r401JWyQ0Xy-JoP8_0g5LOtyZkI/s1600/IMG_5231.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 300px; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524695786516823074" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcNjmd9c6nAHhlej4AVyQg3g6Rr6kCjq751RoyvTF-ySm0rhjdBxnd11ILbvXt3khSdhOjkszQ1e-Hyl8vjkOLvsjfkYKGRfW29cJoqzxDLHO-Lpz4r401JWyQ0Xy-JoP8_0g5LOtyZkI/s400/IMG_5231.JPG" /></a><br /></div><div></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVXiE-18ElVar_AFE7TZF6qn9_OFLdVD-dmNVS4YGG0sfTTa_8PnYkPuI2KHRtZQMVuEB9mAakEDbx3rT0bj45dWuZ56qCym0Xj8tOI4jQq_ecxVYi_mrMf_dHMxjBgw_GlQj8YKiFm4I/s1600/IMG_5245.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 300px; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524695801687951218" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVXiE-18ElVar_AFE7TZF6qn9_OFLdVD-dmNVS4YGG0sfTTa_8PnYkPuI2KHRtZQMVuEB9mAakEDbx3rT0bj45dWuZ56qCym0Xj8tOI4jQq_ecxVYi_mrMf_dHMxjBgw_GlQj8YKiFm4I/s400/IMG_5245.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLFxf3WtaZZ6zgHh9sqigTbSWNuD_rNR5pGExU-BcQy_Zyl5LVOVbKV88gA8upeDT8ouRBSju-uYewJ0l38xoFCvDcMiI0AUi68SpGI4LAh5Si5P3V6mKPob2vonADtFluanO3RGQh3oc/s1600/IMG_5082.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 300px; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524623246079818674" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLFxf3WtaZZ6zgHh9sqigTbSWNuD_rNR5pGExU-BcQy_Zyl5LVOVbKV88gA8upeDT8ouRBSju-uYewJ0l38xoFCvDcMiI0AUi68SpGI4LAh5Si5P3V6mKPob2vonADtFluanO3RGQh3oc/s400/IMG_5082.JPG" /></a> </div><div><br /></div><div>Katie, Cohen & Titus came for a few weeks.

Anyone with kitties understands how much fun it is to watch them play and they are just about the cutest thing. If only they stayed so cute. After much name changing around (is it a boy, no, maybe a girl?), we had Mator, Carmel & Mitten. Sadly over the next month Mitten became the lone survivor. We weren't used to checking under cars when backing out! :)<br /><br /></div><div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUoCz8ZlfZgw6zZYe27iaz5QkwFXXHl7Qg036Yf5M22ji-XdYLupfDKiutHnz28Iw6VM8eoOl4sjbo0gBwXDXsdbx9S4DE_HWxMWCOrxbRVGvNaLrXIUqV_VLlQ8s5d-7D1uMwWk_Muxg/s1600/IMG_5014.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524623225145280626" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUoCz8ZlfZgw6zZYe27iaz5QkwFXXHl7Qg036Yf5M22ji-XdYLupfDKiutHnz28Iw6VM8eoOl4sjbo0gBwXDXsdbx9S4DE_HWxMWCOrxbRVGvNaLrXIUqV_VLlQ8s5d-7D1uMwWk_Muxg/s400/IMG_5014.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div></div><div>We did go camping over Father's Day with my family and since the weather was cooler we stayed at our campsite more than we went out boating. Stephen went rock hunting more than once and the girls found plenty of wildflowers. Morgan was concerned about the food she had in her tent because of bears and Stephen was not. We found out a bear had been at our campsite the night before we got there and someone showed us a picture of it! Not so comforting and the food did not stay in her tent! :)<br /><br />My camera started having problems and wouldn't stay charged while we were there. So, no pics. :(</div></div></div></div></div>Lynch Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01066576690356109694noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5358133662457343590.post-35368746732182668812010-09-28T10:16:00.000-07:002010-09-28T13:48:09.510-07:00American Girl, Legoland & DisneylandMAY 2010<br /><br />With school done for the year, we headed south...to Legoland and Disneyland. The trip was for all 3 of their birthdays this year. Excitment was high and we had lots of places to get in 3 days!<br /><br /><div>First stop was American Girl for Brooke & Lindsay. This location is in LA at The Grove. Lots of traffic and a few twists in the road we found the parking garage and entered The Grove. A lovely place for shopping if you have the time. Sadly, we did not (I think Doug was really glad). </div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBSV9HBqaqsRaYOsU-k66T20ARxiLppvPBO4pTl6CnXZbk5ee3SSpdR7yl-_sRkf7JGn5mpz571HYZIRScHx_ZI6edOPIeAMylikcqzwQX3cNDnls3D8EQQ9QC-o2qj1DEbHNEw0MJIPI/s1600/P1000392.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 300px; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5522021649879044274" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBSV9HBqaqsRaYOsU-k66T20ARxiLppvPBO4pTl6CnXZbk5ee3SSpdR7yl-_sRkf7JGn5mpz571HYZIRScHx_ZI6edOPIeAMylikcqzwQX3cNDnls3D8EQQ9QC-o2qj1DEbHNEw0MJIPI/s400/P1000392.JPG" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDFA7w8888oVsDaowo9GlYQJVpr6XBrDURVRx6DHwtOkpkeqjsqDNeiDFFaH1x2wXbqi1IgQYGFXnwROXwAWd_HJaogJ8RZ6YqdRRXj0tW1rV1dSAlwkf5Kv-8xXS9KN8BvUVTyrLVNgg/s1600/P1000505.JPG"></a></div><br />Lots of fun for little girls! You quickly fall in love with the clothes and accessories and then you look at the price on the box and can't believe your eyes! Brooke Lindsay and I went around the store several times. Good thing we didn't have more than a couple hours slotted there. The tea or luncheon would have been fun but it didn't fit our schedule. After we left, Lindsay wondered if we could go home and get Kit (her doll) so she could try on her new outfit. Really? :) Did she forget the long drive here already? I should have let her bring Kit but I was all about the light packing this trip.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBNNQjezglVIVBQAFe1Ng2IO_S55HprmT8NxSVYITKcsyGqtIFsnQGPvrW2R6sZ4S-Sh2RupunKZvW47f_VVF0zp3eOL7YWWNxhjnAhXdd8gwQlJqwrYIETkV-abzuNuJPoE3GSzK4pEk/s1600/P1000387.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 300px; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5522019379236795938" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBNNQjezglVIVBQAFe1Ng2IO_S55HprmT8NxSVYITKcsyGqtIFsnQGPvrW2R6sZ4S-Sh2RupunKZvW47f_VVF0zp3eOL7YWWNxhjnAhXdd8gwQlJqwrYIETkV-abzuNuJPoE3GSzK4pEk/s400/P1000387.JPG" /></a><br /><br />We headed down the road a couple more hours. Legoland is in Carlsbad and about 30 min north of San Diego. We had dinner at Bucca di Beppo and after a nights rest we were ready to check out Legoland!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhE6T9lRZ7TLSEtFY6jfChtkn8nhKt-U6476uiVoSsmifRYTVmZ5THN1btQJrr6RoHIANk5xy9X-iwfhyphenhyphenCow4BijeUBGXrHK0o_sk8aDn6EsBieZxYGqm9lIUuR8UEACF4pl0Yd03abQM0/s1600/IMG_4999.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 300px; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5522019386115923554" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhE6T9lRZ7TLSEtFY6jfChtkn8nhKt-U6476uiVoSsmifRYTVmZ5THN1btQJrr6RoHIANk5xy9X-iwfhyphenhyphenCow4BijeUBGXrHK0o_sk8aDn6EsBieZxYGqm9lIUuR8UEACF4pl0Yd03abQM0/s400/IMG_4999.JPG" /></a><br /><br />American Girl did not interest Ryan but he was soo excited to get here.

This one you had to pull yourself up by the rope to the top of the tower and then you let go for a free fall experience.

We knew we had to drive up to Anaheim yet that night and had a big day at Disneyland waiting.<br /><br />Finally we pulled in and since this was our last stop we stayed here for 2 nights. It seemed we could relax, a little.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjckWfKmpHl_EwdCE08WescOUokn0oLOc-fs6nVuNMBGHMLGzzp2Nnk6jd0kk7CPT7SO73YegEsWv1ltwXW0CmnpU45wxe3ANDLhcJMp9q4C9TATuT36OkrHfPoiPIMKwhcwGTcSHYKKRk/s1600/IMG_5002.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 300px; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5522019405098167090" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjckWfKmpHl_EwdCE08WescOUokn0oLOc-fs6nVuNMBGHMLGzzp2Nnk6jd0kk7CPT7SO73YegEsWv1ltwXW0CmnpU45wxe3ANDLhcJMp9q4C9TATuT36OkrHfPoiPIMKwhcwGTcSHYKKRk/s400/IMG_5002.JPG" /></a><br /><br />Inside our room was lots of Disney...even our shampoo bottles had disney ears on them!

We got there 20 minutes after it opened and stood in line for 45 min. to "meet the Princesses". You can be the judge whether that was worth it or not. :) Alot of things I have to do just once then I am good. This was one of them. Meanwhile Doug and Ryan did quite a few rides while we "waited". They had a good time!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDMnWFQdOJm89nrmbeQCX3p_khLUf4Yn7pBMAywzjwn73QEddjV7-3ed4yoYA3ZqAw5588b1LgoUShnckL094mT4dj086_bmVh1BNqD7jl5Tyf4vKUYgmHQePiMTTqgkKtT7nUo4ZdTWc/s1600/P1000481.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 300px; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5522019393339366146" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDMnWFQdOJm89nrmbeQCX3p_khLUf4Yn7pBMAywzjwn73QEddjV7-3ed4yoYA3ZqAw5588b1LgoUShnckL094mT4dj086_bmVh1BNqD7jl5Tyf4vKUYgmHQePiMTTqgkKtT7nUo4ZdTWc/s400/P1000481.JPG" /></a><br /><br />So we were finally ready to hit the rides. Matterhorn was up first. Brooke & Ryan LOVED it! Lindsay, not so much. Her sunglasses flew off at some point in the ride and that was something she couldn't forget. She claims she NEVER wants to ride that "Mattehorn" again! :)<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG1f3B8-SLe83MCwd8Hxfzf9fxIufry8CFYa0CWfqBEOcCa4_RMve7f7c-MniX5e-vBeZqyfYAg2zdcsncPKqFtmQZWUhJD1UyhjJPjv177nd_6Ujjqy287PzRU9EsYrmt0vuVD_z4ef4/s1600/P1000498.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5522039809836115538" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG1f3B8-SLe83MCwd8Hxfzf9fxIufry8CFYa0CWfqBEOcCa4_RMve7f7c-MniX5e-vBeZqyfYAg2zdcsncPKqFtmQZWUhJD1UyhjJPjv177nd_6Ujjqy287PzRU9EsYrmt0vuVD_z4ef4/s400/P1000498.JPG" /></a><br /><br />Ryan & Brooke were tall enough for Space Mountain.

We are all so tired. Doing Disneyland in one day is just enough for Doug and I but I can see why people stretch it out over 3 days. You have time to go back and rest and not pack so much in. Oh well...it keeps it cheaper doing one day. As if the word cheap even goes with Disneyland. :) But it was well worth the memories!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgi1QKhCBbQdr0ViafQT5g8vmjMYro_NwvEjBt5pHEY-hgaMU4Mn4rLhpRZWAks1UMXkoZvesZWwRw1iPJuMzaa2jMYKRWfTqioTUGrF-deFdFBL8W-A25yMexanb80CP6V_0LP8BV4_JQ/s1600/P1000587.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5522047169903232146" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgi1QKhCBbQdr0ViafQT5g8vmjMYro_NwvEjBt5pHEY-hgaMU4Mn4rLhpRZWAks1UMXkoZvesZWwRw1iPJuMzaa2jMYKRWfTqioTUGrF-deFdFBL8W-A25yMexanb80CP6V_0LP8BV4_JQ/s400/P1000587.JPG" /></a>Lynch Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01066576690356109694noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5358133662457343590.post-74988058521151552552010-06-26T12:51:00.000-07:002010-06-26T12:58:59.608-07:00Easy BBQ Chicken Sandwiches<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzS_7YbKhQNKAKZO-AFSB0RKr7ehXkD4eDarnaCmjP2xVPQGPeGJUWQ9n2aaZXiuovC8PaMohco0OV73O9mlCgcqJXyLKY9-bhKye-tpd93WmBlPoH_eD6mxOxvH5ugKafx6Alp7YGPQM/s1600/Easy+BBQ+Chicken+Sandwiches.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 111px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5487173104501332034" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzS_7YbKhQNKAKZO-AFSB0RKr7ehXkD4eDarnaCmjP2xVPQGPeGJUWQ9n2aaZXiuovC8PaMohco0OV73O9mlCgcqJXyLKY9-bhKye-tpd93WmBlPoH_eD6mxOxvH5ugKafx6Alp7YGPQM/s400/Easy+BBQ+Chicken+Sandwiches.jpg" /></a><br /><br />4 large or 6 medium chicken breasts (2.5 to 3 lbs)<br />1 large onion, diced ( or dry onion flakes)<br />2-3 c. barbecue sauce of your choice<br />6 sandwich buns or hot freshly cooked rice, for serving<br /><br />1. Rinse boneless chicken breasts & thaw; or trim fat and skin from chicken. (If using split chicken breast, remove bone as well.)<br /><br />2. Layer chicken, onions, and sauce into a 9x13-inch baking dish or into a slow cooker.<br /><br /><strong>Oven directions (best for BBQ chicken sandwiches!) </strong><br /><br />1. Cover dish with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 60 minutes. Uncover and bake up to 30 minutes longer, or until sauce is thick.<br /><br />2. Use two forks to shred the meat. Spread on sandwich buns and serve hot.<br /><br /><strong>Slow cooker directions (best for BBQ chicken with rice!): </strong><br /><strong><br /></strong>1. Cook on HIGH for 4 hours or on LOW for 7-8 hours.<br /><br />2. Depending on the kind of sauce you used, the sauce could be rather thin by the end, so I like to vent the lid slightly for the last hour of the cooking time.<br /><br />3. Serve chicken and sauce over hot rice. (too much sauce for sandwiches)<br /><br />Using a good BBQ sauce will make it or break it! We liked 1/2 Trader Joes BBQ Sauce & 1/2 Stubbs BBQ Sauce (we like a little kick with a little sweet).<br /><br />You can find the original recipe here: <a href="http://www.tammysrecipes.com/easy_bbq_chicken_sandwiches_oven_slow_cooker">http://www.tammysrecipes.com/easy_bbq_chicken_sandwiches_oven_slow_cooker</a>Lynch Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01066576690356109694noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5358133662457343590.post-51791706680482150722010-06-26T11:53:00.000-07:002010-06-26T12:47:36.440-07:00Oven Ready Lasagna<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTn250sXjAlZlVThOLDCZJ-ULRTs6ri78ehCCwUtFICNzjfpk1CkdCTC3UrLwO9pWMbGp3tuztD1Tz6XL6FS_of51EvxerDEXRPy_gUDCZUrQbe1vlymJUuTuibi2fFpmRvA7C5PZEH7Y/s1600/Oven+Ready+Lasagne.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5487169602684263282" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTn250sXjAlZlVThOLDCZJ-ULRTs6ri78ehCCwUtFICNzjfpk1CkdCTC3UrLwO9pWMbGp3tuztD1Tz6XL6FS_of51EvxerDEXRPy_gUDCZUrQbe1vlymJUuTuibi2fFpmRvA7C5PZEH7Y/s400/Oven+Ready+Lasagne.JPG" /></a><br /><br />1 lb. ground turkey or beef<br />3 c.

So far I have only used it for the online recipes I find and want to try someday but not now. In the past I was printing out recipes and keeping them stacked in a "to try" folder in my kitchen (and it is quite full) because it seemed to be the best method until Springpad! Springpad can be a shortcut on your desktop or in your favorites and after I open it I just click on the recipe folder under my stuff (you do need to create a free account), copy and paste the web address to create the recipe and it saves it in my recipe folder. I can view it there with recipe ingredients and it has the link to connect me to the actual site I got it from. Love, love it! No more wasting ink & paper until I decide to!<br /><br />Heres the link to check it out!<span style="color:#ff0000;"> </span><a href="http://springpadit.com/"><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="color:#ff0000;">spring</span>pad: a free personal organizer and online notebook</span></a>Lynch Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01066576690356109694noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5358133662457343590.post-31691594915677737562010-04-07T08:42:00.000-07:002010-04-07T09:10:22.213-07:00Ditch-Digging"Mothering is like ditch-digging. As mothers we can do nothing to persuade or convince our children to love God. We can dig the ditches but we can't fill them. We can teach our children about God, pray for them, live the Christian life before them, and expose them to others who love and serve God. But only God can give them Spiritual life. God doesn't need our help, but in His sovereign plan He invites us to take part actively - to colabor with Him as He works in their lives."<br /><br />Auther: Jean Fleming "<em>A Mother's Heart: A Look at Values, Vision, and Character for the Christian Mother</em>".<br /><br /><br />No I have not read this book. But upon reading these words it seemed to capture what my heart has been feeling...as we strive to give our children the best, physically and spiritually this is a great reminder to colabor with Him. When I start to worry how my children will make it in this world, I need not worry. Do my part and leave the rest up to God.

I will say they have a lovely gift shop and cafe to dine in.

Place chicken carcass and any stray bones into crockpot. Larger chicken (6 lbs.) use 6 qt. crockpot.<br />2. Add any additional vegetables you like - onions, celery, carrots, garlic, herbs. Keep a bag in the freezer of scraps leftover from chopping vegetables. Then just dump this bag in with the bones.<br />3. Cover the bones and vegetables with cold water and add 1-2 T. apple cider vinegar. Cold water allows the flavor and nutrients to full extract from the bones.<br />4. Turn the slow cooker on low and simmer overnight for 18-24 hours.<br />5. Once it has cooled a bit, strain chicken stock using a colander, sieve or cheesecloth.<br />6. Store in quart canning jars ans use in soups, stews, sauces and cooking grains.Lynch Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01066576690356109694noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5358133662457343590.post-52309913080011626082009-11-07T11:15:00.000-08:002009-11-07T11:41:44.080-08:00Have you heard about this?After reading this "<a href="http://balancing%20broom%20act/">balancing broom act</a>" we decided to perform our own test.

Things like reading, scrapbooking, antique browsing, shopping, etc. You could chalk them up as hobbies. <strong><em>Dictionary.com says a hobby is an activity or interest pursued for pleasure or relaxation and not as a main occupation.</em> (</strong>Does anyone even use the word hobbies anymore? And I never considered myself a hobby type but...the definition fits.)<br /><br />Life has changed...some of them have taken a back seat for now - and I have picked up more practical ones. I don't really remember when this one started but it morphed its way in and so now you know why I keep posting recipes. Simple recipes with simple ingredients, finding recipes that replace the dining out ones we love, recipes that replace prepackaged things we buy, recipes that use ingredients we love, new twists on old recipes, recipes for things we have never tried, it is endless around here! But its fun too.<br /><br />Its what we are doing here...at Life with the Lynchs...enjoy or skip over!<br /><br /><strong><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP8C0Hn8jGB3N05CC347XfWjaZtnQLHXGGpE7ZiP_Ts4gsGqXd1o7NLv41YNEL3tivVh9Y_BXnTT6XQPpIzg25eTTBDGn8WlhXyFyd9cflKfTnRy2w9bAkwNbJ_T1bqIZNSi652PeCmFg/s1600-h/IMG_3953.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397469149219368722" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP8C0Hn8jGB3N05CC347XfWjaZtnQLHXGGpE7ZiP_Ts4gsGqXd1o7NLv41YNEL3tivVh9Y_BXnTT6XQPpIzg25eTTBDGn8WlhXyFyd9cflKfTnRy2w9bAkwNbJ_T1bqIZNSi652PeCmFg/s400/IMG_3953.JPG" /></a></strong><br /><strong></strong><br /><strong>TACO BRAID:</strong> <em>(if you like taco seasoning, this ones for you.
