The shots before my battery died.

Now, Renee you got to play fair and let me take your picture! Atleast we captured your smiling face in the mirror :) Hi Wellsley, now you be careful with that - don't hit her too hard.

Okay Ali, this is for you:

What do you get when Ali has overdosed on Oreos and Christa's locked in a house with 5 children 5 and under all day?

Scone Recipe

In case you are looking for an easy sweet treat - I got this recipe from Caleb's Preschool last year.


Scones-
1 1/2 c flour
1/2 c sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 t. salt
3/4c. whipping cream
Extras: 1/4 dried fruit, chocolate chips, etc.; raw sugar to sprinkle on top.

(I usually double or quadruple this recipe. The dough freezes well, but usually we have no problem finishing off a quadrupled recipe)

Preheat oven to 375. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt. Add whipping cream and mix well. Should be like playdough. If too sticky, add more flour. mix in dried fruit, choco chips.

Form dough into a ball ( if single recipe, one ball; double, two....) and smash into flat circle. Brush top with whipping cream and sprinkle with raw sugar. Cut like a pizza into 8 pieces. Place 1 inch apart and bake 18 minutes or until lightly browned.

When I 5x the recipe, I just smash the dough into a large jelly roll pan and cut into triangles, then place on a baking sheet. It saves a little time.

Another portrait party is in the makings!

Bring back memories? It will be fun to see how much our families have changed!

Here is the location I am thinking about. Saint Anthony Park to get some cool vintage family shots! What if we shoot for an evening sometime in April when it's a little warmer out. It will be fun to play together in the park also!

Note that there are no children anywhere to be seen in this photo - even the strollers are empty!! Where could they be??

Oh! They must have gone to get something to eat at Chipotle while the dads were busy talking !

Dad, isn't mom's birthday coming up? Let's buy her this one!

Andrew, we can't afford the car, but how about we take a nice picture of the two of us instead.

OOOOooo, AAAAaahh
