Greek Yogurt
Greek Yogurt was something I've never tried before. A great friend mentioned it to me, and then arrived at my door today with a container she bought. It was Presidents Choice brand, so I assume she got it at the superstore. It was really good! Its creamy and stays thick. I loved it! No crazy ingredients (Skim milk, and culture)
I've made my own yogurt in the past, so I thought I better Google this and see how it is made differently. It is sooo easy! This will now be made more often in my house too!
If anyone wants to learn how to make yogurt, I'll gladly help! But this Greek yogurt, you let sit out longer (at 110 degrees for 8-11 hours,(instead of 5-8hours) and then drain the liquid... that is it. I can do that!
I'm very excited! I can't wait to try this more often!
HAS ANYONE TRIED THIS BEFORE???? What did you think?

Happy Anniversary
Today is our 15th anniversary.
It is amazing to think how much life has changed in those years.
We have 5 wonderful children.
Have moved to the other side of the country.
Own a three bedroom home, with room to garden, and play
Made great friends over the years. Some we have stayed in touch with.
Found a few hobbies to enjoy together as a family. (Geocaching, Park and Library hopping)
Gone through more used couches then we can count!
Discovered the luxury of late night snacks. (after the kids are in bed)
Spent countless hours chatting, cuddling, and watching movies together.
Learned that a couch is big enough for two to fall asleep on... for a few hours only.
Flowers are still a special way to say "I love you"
Loves grows deeper and better as the years pass.

Magrath Days 2011
We had our yearly Magrath Day celebrations recently.
Friday morning was a rainy free pancake breakfast at the local bank. Lunch was a free hamburger, or hotdog, pop and chips at the local insurance company. Supper we ate in a hurry, as we rushed out the door to attend the "Magrath Family Rodeo and Bullriding". We were lucky to get free tickets (thanks Grandpa and Nana Moore). Adrian, Kenny, and Nicole all tried to catch the pig, and the chicken, but didn't succeed. Our friend Bruston Holthe (the same age as Kenny), did catch the pig, and got to keep it....so they butchered it!. We watched people try to dress the calves, then watched as the cowboys attepted to ride the big bucking bulls. We got home and decorated the three kids bikes for the parade the next day before heading to bed late.
Saturday mom was responsible for the parade so she was busy all morning. Dad was helping with radio communications. Kenny changed his mind and didn't want to be in the parade, and Adrian's tire popped just as it was time to leave for the parade line up. So that left only Nicole in the parade. She was happy to win 2nd place for best decorated bike, and $5 in cash. All the other kids sat with Grandpa and Nana Moore, while Mom and Dad were busy. The parade was bigger then last year, and Mom was happy to have Dads help with communications and traffic. The afternoon was filled with astro jumps, fun races, lawnmower races, petting zoo, show and shine, quilt display, silent auction and talent show. In the evening, we had our free beef on a bun, and watch the town program and Trevor Panzack preform with his band. The evening ended with a amazing firework display. It was a great night!
