Ziploc Omelets & Greenbluff!

Becky & I planned an omelet brunch with a trip to Greenbluff afterwards to get pumpkins! She did most of the work & it turned out perfectly....good friends & good times!

Becky finishing up on the final preparations before everyone arrived!

The omelets weren't traditional....we made them in ziploc bags! (Thanks, Sarah!!) Stay tuned for the recipe!

A fun time had by all....the weather was perfect (it did start to rain, but not until we were headed out). Good eats, fun times, big laughs! :-) Now on to the recipe...

Ziploc Omelets

- Using a permanent marker, write each person's name on a quart size Ziploc freezer bag.

(I believe I was told that you don't want to go generic brand on the bags!!!)

- Crack 2 eggs (large or extra-large) into the Ziploc bags and shake to combine them.

- Have each person put their chosen variety of ingredients into their bag.

(We had each person/family bring one ingredient---we had bacon, sausage, ham, onions, mushrooms, olives, cheese, salsa, peppers, etc.)

- Ingredients like bacon, sausage, etc. need to already be cooked.

- Seal the bag, making sure to get all the air out of it and shake/mix it up.

- Place the bags into rolling, boiling water for exactly 13 minutes.

(You can usually cook 6-8 omelets in a large pot at one time---we had 4 pots going!)

- Open the bags and the omelets easily roll out & everyone will be amazed!!

Serve with muffins, fruit, coffee cake and juice & coffee and enjoy!!!

Walk for Juvenile Diabetes...my 2nd Year!

On the last Saturday in September, Mom, Becky, & I joined our friends who have a 5 year-old son with diabetes on a walk to raise awareness & funds for diabetes research! It was my 2nd year and the 1st for Mom & Becky!

I wore my shirt from last year & Becky & Mom got green ones this year!

They say "Team Braden/Dozing Down Diabetes"

All the kids...holding Braden!

Chalk "Team Braden" Names!

Caelyn, Reagan, Carlee, & Kaylee waiting for the walk to start...

Let the walk begin...Reagan & his "girlfriend" Caelyn with Becky, Kaylee, & Mom coming up behind them!

Caelyn & Reagan again! (This might be used for bribery and/or teasing some day! ;-)

Recent Going-Ons!

Okay, so I know I have been terrible about keeping my blog updated, so here are some recent going-ons & a promise to do better! :-)

A baseball game...

Becky & I took Reagan & Kaylee bowling one Friday night & then we went back to my house & made ice cream in a bag...fun, fun, fun!!She looked so cute....just sitting there watching the ball roll down the lane!!

He just bowled a good one...he was so happy!!

Reagan & I

What a little stud!

Becky & Kaylee...

...again!! :-)

Being silly!

Most of the ingredients (got the wrong kind of milk but it wasn't bad, but could've been better....next time!!)

Putting them in the bags...

Don't ask! Just being hyper & silly (and super duper tired)!

Looked kinda like mashed potatoes...

A trip to the lovely Lincoln County Fair in Davenport, WA with Brent & Laureen....I'd never been to a small town fair before and boy was it small! :-)

I'm not much of a quilt person but every now & then I see one that I really like and this was one....really neat colors, the picture doesn't really do it justice!!

Tian just chillin', gettin' ready to eat his corn dog!

Lindi scoping out the pigs...she was loving it!

Somebody's breakfast some day...

Not sure what this was about but I didn't ask!

Becky holding Lindi Sunday after lunch so Laureen could eat....she was all tuckered out, what a cutie!

I went to see the kids off to school on their first day, Kaylee for 1st grade and Reagan for 2nd....they're growing up so fast!!

Reagan outside his classroom....

...and Kaylee in hers! She's ready to go!
