Preacher's Wife

Today, Tyrone was the guest speaker at our church.  He usually speaks a couple times a year, sometimes at our church, sometimes at other churches.

This morning was the 2nd time Samuel has heard him speak.  Samuel did really well, he listened to daddy and sat quietly in my lap, for the most part.  A couple times he'd stop playing with Grandma's bracelets and point and say 'Daddy.'  He also said 'yellow' quite a few times.  Yellow is the one color Samuel knows, so when he sees it he let's us know.  Samuel got a cute John Deere soft book for Christmas from his Great-Great Aunt Alice.  It is a counting book that is green with a yellow border.  So every page it was 'yellow, yellow, yellow.'

Most Sundays, Samuel is audible enough to be picked up by the Pastors mike, which means Samuel can be heard on the podcast of the sermon.  I imagine that if you listen today's, you'll hear lots of yellow and daddy since we were sitting in the front row, incase we needed to make a quick escape.

The first time Samuel was aware that daddy was speaking was last Wednesday.  Tyrone spoke to a Christian School's chapel for Martin Luther King, Jr Day.  We sat in the back of a large auditorium full of 3rd and 4th graders.  Samuel made it about 5 minutes before he started yelling 'DADDY' over and over again.  So we went out to the foyer and ran around and tried again, same thing 'DADDY' at the top of his lungs.  I didn't get to hear Tyrone talk about MLK Jr, however Samuel did run off a lot of energy running back in forth in the foyer.

I love to hear Tyrone speak.  The first time I heard him was before we were dating.  He was speaking at his College/Career group at his church and invited me to hear him.  Tyrone and I worked at Starbucks together and he had a crush on me since the first day we met.  I kinda liked him too, so I went and was very impressed.  I don't remember what he talked about but he did a good job.

The next time I got to hear Tyrone preach was at a junior high camp while we were dating.  We'd been dating about a month and it was our first road trip.  The camp was called Pleasant Valley and was about a 3 hour drive.  Driving with someone can be eye opening too: You learn how they drive, how they like to follow directions or not, and what road trip food is there favorite.  I was even more impressed the second time he spoke and those junior highers listened to him too.

So if you want to hear Tyrone's sermon from this morning or just want to see if you can hear Samuel say  'Daddy' or 'Yellow' here is the link http://southeverett.org/2011/01/  Tyrone's is the first one listed.

Baking with Samuel

Tonight, Tyrone took Charlotte to run errands, so that left me and Samuel to spend time together.  First we had to clean the kitchen and pick up toys, then it was time to make cookies. Samuel is Ready! Samuel loves cookies and watching me work in the kitchen, so tonight I combined the two to make Snickerdoodles.  I haven't had very good luck making GF Snickerdoodles, they always seemed to run.  One time I improvised and made them in muffin tins, they kinda looked like reverse volcanos.  Thanks to the yummy ones my friend Megan made, I thought I'd give them one more try. I used this recipe from Betty Crocker,  Snickerdoodles , I just modified it with Brown Rice Flour and Xanthan Gum.  I think the Xanthan Gum was key,  I'd been out for a while and finally had some, what a difference. Snickerdoodle Recipe 1 Cup Butter 1 1/2 Cups Sugar Cream Together 2 Eggs Creamed and ready for flo...

My Treehouse

I live in a Treehouse, or maybe it just feels like I do.  My mom calls me a former basement dweller.  My husband is a former basement dweller too.  So how did two basement dwellers end up in a treehouse? Our treehouse is a miracle.  When Tyrone and I got engaged we started looking at apartment rents and wondered if we could even afford to get married.  Rents were insanely high and our salaries were pretty low.  So we kinda started to worry but kept looking and then we just stopped.  Fortunately my mom loves a good challenge.  She started looking at houses or condos or anything.  Another thing about my mom, she loves to walk.  She gets bored walking in the same neighborhood so sometimes she'll drive to another and walk there.  View Ridge was one of her favorite places to walk. View Ridge is such a different neighborhood.  There are large homes on the bluff, 1950 ramblers, an apartment building, a church, and our condo. ...

Grocery Shopping

I love to grocery shop! When I was little one of my favorite things was to go grocery shopping with my mom.  I'm not sure why I loved it so much.  Maybe cause I got to spend time with her or cause it was Shopping. My mom home-schooled me until 2nd grade so there was lots of grocery shopping days.  I remember starting school and feeling left out that my sister got to go grocery shopping and I didn't.  Whenever Mom would pick me up from school after grocery shopping I would feel so left out.  Fortunately, I was home-schooled again in 5th & 6th grade.  Grocery shopping was back. My mom used my interests to guide my lesson plans, so she focused some of my projects around the grocery store.  I learned how to check the price per pound to see which size was the better deal.  We studied sugar content in cereal and compared it to the price of the cereal.  In the 7th grade I used the cereal data for my science project, I think I got a blue ri...
