Cami's First Day of Kindergartin


Cami has waited for this day since Kyle began Kindergartin two years ago.

I'm on my way!



Play Dough
Let's do this!
 
First day and it was fabulous!

My friend and neighbor, Lindsey, started Kindergartin today too.

Brothers will be brothers.

Alright, you know what?  I've had enough.


Are you done laughing yet?

Ha Ha!
Despite their teasing, Cami loves her brothers.  She's so excited to be going to the same school with them.  Here's to a great year filled with great friends, laughter, learning, hard work, and the beginning of many more wonderful experiences in this big wide world we live in.

Here's the roll recipe for those of you that requested it.  Just made some again today.  I think we're trying to make up for time lost cuz these are going fast!

Jenny's rolls
(Although I got this recipe from a bread machine book many years ago when we were first married, sure I'll take the credit now since I don't have that recipe anymore!)

2 Tablespoons yeast
scant 1/4 cup sugar (or not scant, if you like sugar ;)
2 cups warm water


Let sit til bubbly or foamy, about 15 min or so.  Then turn on your mixer to LOW and add:

2 teaspoons salt
4 -6 Tablespoons butter
(if your hubbie comes up behind you and adds yet even more butter it's okay, it makes it even more tasty!)
1/4 cup powdered milk (optional if you have a milk allergy, which we don't but I've seen french bread recipes that are pretty much the same as mine except no milk and less butter)
2 cups bread flour plus some more for later

Mix these a couple minutes 'til combined, then gradually add more bread flour while mixing until it pulls from sides of bowl, about 2-3 cups.  Try not to add too much flour, it can make the bread tough.  Slightly sticky dough is good.  You can add a tiny bit more flour when forming the rolls. 
That's pretty much it I guess.  Just let the dough rise about an hour or so, til it's about double, then shape rolls, let them rise about 20-30 min.  Bake at 350 for about 12-15 min.  Enjoy!
