About Us
Andy and I met on a blind date in Dec. 2005. One of my 7th grade students was his neice, and she set us up. Go figure. We saw each other every day after that! We were engaged by June and married in September of 2006. In January, 2008, we welcomed little Ethan into our home, and in August, 2010, little Addison arrived.
Andy is a diesel mechanic at Kennecott. I taught middle school science for ten years, and am now an evidence-based learning specialist for a school district.
This year for our Christmas Eve party, my food assignment was cookies. So, I decided to make gingerbread cookies. I bought all ingredients, and somehow lost my recipe along the way. Not to worry, all was well, as I found a recipe on line that was DELICIOUS. So, I thought I'd share.
1 c margarine
1 c sugar
1 c molasses
2 egg
4 cups flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking pwd
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp cloves
2 tsp ginger
1 tsp nutmeg
Cream together butter and sugar. Stir in molasses and egg. Mix all other dry ingredients but flour. Sift flour in, and mix. Chill for 1 hour. Roll out and cut. Bake at 350 degrees for 8 minutes.
Icing:
1 c pwd sugar
2 tsp milk
2 tsp light corn syrup
1 tsp almond extract
food coloring if desired
Stir together sugar and milk until smooth. Beat in corn syrup and almond extract until icing is glossy. If icing is too thick, add a little water to get the right consistency. Put in an icing bag to decorate cookies.

I am going to change them to gingerbread groundhogs to rationalize having them after Christmas. I love your family picture; Addy is a little you.
