Quick Granola Recipe

So when I went to Idaho for my sister's wedding in September my mom made this awesome granola for a topping at the ice cream bar. Even my 2 year old loved and he is the pickiest eater ever. I got the recipe and have been meaning to make some and I finally got around to it 4 months later and it is the easiest recipe and it tastes amazing so I thought that I would share it with all of you. If you keep it in a sealed container it will stay soft for awhile but if you like yours crunchy you can let it dry out more and add milk for you breakfast.

GRANOLA

41/2 cups rolled oats

1 cup flour

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp vanilla

1 tsp cinnamon

2/3 cup butter

1/2 cup honey

1/3 cup brown sugar

In a large bowl mix flour,oats,baking soda,cinnamon and brown sugar.

In a small bowl put butter,honey, and vanilla and put in microwave until butter is melted completely and it is mixed well with the honey.

Pour the liquid mixture over the dry mixture and mix really well.

Pour onto greased cookie sheet and spread out.

Bake @ 325* for 20 min

Let cool and break apart with your hands in the size of pieces that you want.

ENJOY!!!

I tried this thing that I saw on Pinterest where you tape a cut out shape to your camera lens and this is what you get.

Potty Time

Well I took JP to pick out a potty and he did good sitting on it at home but I think that he is scared to go in it it. I even tried stickers,treats,pull-ups, and underwear and nothing worked so we are taking a little break and will try again.

Brent's Roommates

We were able to meet up with 2 of Brent's college roommates and their families. They guys had fun playing their usual Mario Kart and then we got them with all of their kids.

Chuck E Cheese

Over Christmas we took the kids to play at Chuck E Cheese and Justin had a lot of fun. Not sure why we didn't get a picture of Justin and Kaylie together.

Playing at the mall

During the holiday break when the kids and I were staying at Brent's parents while he went back to work I decided to get the kids out of the house for a little while and let Justin play at the mall.

U of M game

Brent's parents got us all tickets to the University of Michigan basketball game and we all had a lot of fun.Kurt and I were also there sorry the picture was really blurry. Thanks again Grandma for babysitting.

Piston's home opener

Taio Cruz

The neighbor got tickets for us to go to a pistons game at Christmas time and it was the home opener. The lineup intro was awesome I am sure most of you have seen the Chrysler commercial that was filmed in Detroit well they played that and the choir that was in it was there in person singing. I think my video is to long it won't upload. The halftime show was cool also Taio Cruz performed, he sings Dynamite.

Bowling

We did so many things over the holidays I can't remember which day this is but all of us kids went bowling and Grandma and Grandpa were nice enough to watch the kids.
