Olympic Dance

Gwen was being so cute during the Olympic Ice Dancing Monday night. Here are a few short clips of her dancing and singing and laughing. We sure enjoyed her.

Grandma's Baptism

One of the happiest days of our lives was last Saturday, Feb, 13, 2009. Roland's mom was baptized and we were so happy to be there to support her.

Grandma and the Grandkids.

Grandma with her Dad, daughter and son.

All of us. We missed you, Roland. wish you could have been here with us. You were just as happy as we were.

Gwen again!

So cute, Gwen learning how to talk on the phone! She says "ello" really well, even though the video doesn't show how well.

Gwen is looking at my mom through most of the video. She had a lot of fun eating at that fancy plate and holding the handle. Applebees needs to make that cute plate a little more baby friendly, like out of plastic. I was worried it would break if she threw it or dropped it. I particularly like the "peek-a-boo" game she starts to play as she covers her face.

One Year Old

Flying in circles with Grandma.

New portacrib for baby dolls. She pushes it around the upstairs where there isn't carpet, which means up and down the hall and into the kitchen.

Mmmmm, Cake, I want a taste!

Didn't eat much of her piece of the cake, see it on the table, but that is a carrot in the bowl! (She didn't eat that either, just played with it.)

Ah-Ha, that is what she wanted, Ice Cream!

Giving Uncle Wes, "Five".

Testing out one of her new gifts, a toothbrush, still in it's packaging.

Shared a birthday celebration with 15 year old Aunt Mckell! Thanks for making the cake, Grandma!

Found the package of rawhide braids. Good thing the dog hadn't been at them yet!

I just love this face! Happy Birthday to our girl!

Carolina BBQ

*this recipe was found in the owner's manual for my crock pot.

2 onions, quartered
2 Tablespoons brown sugar
1 Tablespoon paprika
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 (4-6 pound) roast, pork butt or shoulder, bone in or out, just remove bone when done roasting.
3/4 cup cider vinegar
4 teaspoons worsteschire sauce
1 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne (optional)
buns for sandwiches

Place onionsi n crock pot. Combine brown sugar, paprika, salt and pepper. Rub over roast. Place roast on onions.
Combine vinegar, worstechire sauce, red pepper flakes, sugar, mustard, garlic salt, and cayenne. (I use one of those 2 cup shakers from Tupperware) Drizzle 1/3 mixture over roast. Refridgerate remaining sauce.
Cook on low 10-12 hours. Drizzle 1/3 of remaining sauce over and cook 30 minutes more. Remove from pot. Chop and shred. Serve on buns or plates with remaining sauce.
*** can cook in Dutch oven @ 250 degrees for 5-6 hours.
Slow roasting is the key to this tender pulled pork . We love it and I hope that you will too.

Gwen's new words for lunch!
