Reading

This was too cute. I just had to post these pics of Kaitlyn reading, or rather, trying

to read to William. He was more interested in climbing around on the rocking chair or smiling at the camera.

Song for Girls Camp is finally finished

I've been asked to write another song for Girls Camp this year, and I'm finally done. The 2009 theme for the youth is "Be thou and example of th believers.", but the theme for our Stake's Girls Camp is "Source of Strength". I had alot of things that the YW leaders wanted me to encompass in the song, and so as a result, this song is very wordy. The chorus is the longest chorus I've ever written for any song. The vocals are my amateur voice, so don't cringe when you hear it. I've just worked so much on it, I thought I'd share. http://jenniferjoyrose.com/files/I_Belive.wma

For Uncle Johnny

My brother Johnny is all alone in Indiana while his wife is away visiting family, so here's an easy dessert recipe for him to enjoy. (He asked for us to send him some dessert in the last post)

Sunday evening is always a night where we like to make a dessert, and tonight we wanted brownies but all we had were cake mixes. I looked up recipes for brownies using a cake mix and found several, but not wanting to work too much on the Sabbath, used the simplest one I could find.

Brownies:

1 chocolate cake mix

1/4 cup water

1 egg

1/2 baf of chocolate chips (optional)

Preheat oven to 350. Mix all ingredients together and press into greased 9x9 square pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Enjoy!!

William and Kaitlyn had fun licking the leftovers from the mix.
