March 21, 2012 Picture of the Day: Delicious

This picture was inspired by Pinterest and Josh.  Josh has dreams of opening his own brownie store someday.  He wants it to be much like the Cupcake Stores that are popular today.  The idea inspired me so I've been pinning a TON of yummy looking brownie recipies.  But we rarely ever try them.

So this week, we decided to try one new brownie recipie a week.  Then we could share them with someone and get a true taste of which ones were good for his store someday.

Today I tried Cream Cheese Brownies by 5 Boys Baker.   OH MY GOODNESS!  These were SO good!  Very rich, but the cream cheese just makes it so yummy!  Definitely a Delicous keeper.

So here's the recipie card for the Bryson Family Cookbook.

Let me know if you try them and what you think!

March 20, 2012 Picture of the Day: Before & After

Today's picture of the day is Before and After.

This picture was inspired by Zach.  I don't know what it is about this child, but he can not seem to go outside without coming back with half the dirt in Colorado in his shoes.  I don't know if it's because there is no grass here and everyone uses rocks and dirt for their yards, or if it's just Zach.  But we are building a bit of a dirt ramp in the backyard thanks to Zachary's shoes.

March 19, 2012 Picture of the Day: Funny

Today's picture is something "funny."

Yesterday Henry was on a snack kick.  He would come upstairs every 5 minutes and eat ANOTHER banana. Then he would go downstairs with some smart comment like "I'm a banana eating monster." "I'm so scary that little bananas check under their beds for me."  It was actually funny.

Today when he got home from school, he found this note from the bananas... "Don't Eat me Scary Banana Monster!"  Gave us a little chuckle on a busy day.

March 18, 2012 Picture of the Day: Corner of the House

I got this awesome new camera for Christmas.  I am so very excited about it.

I've been using it alot for pictures on my work blog, but I want to take more pictures of the kids and everyday life too. 

I've seen some neat ideas around the web where bloggers take one picture a day.  I thought I would give it a go.  Not sure it's going to totally happen since I'm usually running from 5 in the morning until I die at night...but I want to give it a go.

I'm not a very good photographer.  No where near the likes of Sherry or Amber, but I like to play...so here we go.

Today's picture is of a "corner in my house".

I took this picture because it's Josh's favorite corner.

He loves to build things on the game "Roblox".  It's essentially a Lego type game where you can build buildings and then play in them.  He's a bit of a pro at it, and I'm wondering if we are seeing an emerging architect.

This Pray sign is in one of my favorite corners.  We made these cute scrapbook letters at a church Enrichment night back in Terre Haute last year.  I didn't know where to put it in our new house so it kind of just found a home on accident.  It on a ledge at the top of the basement stairs.  You can see it every time you go upstairs...reminding the kids to pray.  (Do you think it's actually worked?)
