It's Great to Have Friends

Recently we were able to visit a good friend, catch up, and enjoy our children together. My kids were in heaven. They have a zip line in the back yard that was a HUGE hit (Bryce says, "Someday Mom, can we have a zip line in our back yard? I really liked it.). Next to their house they have a little stream that we went "fishing" at. It was so fun to be around friends and to see our kids interact. I remember her kids when they were only one, and now they are seven. Wow! Anyway, thanks for the amazing afternoon! What a little boys dream: to be accepted among the big guys, hang on a flying rope, and get dirty by a stream.
Bradley flying high! I love the big eyes. He loves an adventure!

Bryce going for the 20 + time.

Bryce (5), Cole (7), Travis (7) are going fishing.

Bradley "Yook Mommy - a fish! Oh Man, missed!"

I love this picture! I think it is so cute!

Favorite Recipe

Toffee

2 1/2 c. caster sugar
1/4 c. white corn syrup
1/2 c. water
1 lb butter
3 large milk chocolate bars (I use choc bars from trader joes)
2 lb pecan halves (trader joes or costco is cheapest)
1/2 lb finely chopped nuts to sprinkle over chocolate

Combine first 4 ingredients in heavy kettle and cook slowly to hard crack stirring occasionally. Melt 1/2 of choc in double boiler. (I do it in the microwave 30 sec at a time). Prepare 2 cookie sheets by laying the pecan halves all over, but not touching. Pour candy quickly over nuts and pour the melted half of the choc over hot candy. Springke with half of the finely chopped nuts and press in lightly with fingers. Let sit over night or until harden. Turn over and repeat with choc and chopped nuts.
