BYU-Idaho

Kenzie is very impatiently waiting to determine which track she will be attending!!!

 

Announcements

Kenzie is amazing. If nursing doesn't work out she could seriously have a future in design. She recently redid the sweatshirts for the senior class and can't wait to see how they turn out! Lately she has been designing graduation announcements for friends at school. Everyone this year seems to be wanting a front and back full of pictures. Here are the ones that she has done.

Senior Pictures!!

Kenzie is a SENIOR!!! She's been a senior for a while but we finally got some of her senior pictures back and she is so incredibly gorgeous! If you don't believe me (like I'd lie!) just take a look. Paisley Studios in Blackfoot did an incredible job. I would definitely go back!!

Raspberry and Cream Pie

This actually tastes good when you remember to add the VANILLA!!


Printable Recipe

Crust:

1 unbaked Classic Crisco Single Crust (ctrl click for crust recipe)

Raspberry Layer:

¾ cup granulated sugar

¼ cup cornstarch

1/8 tsp. salt

1¾ cups water

1 pkg. (3 oz.) raspberry flavor gelatin

1 pkg. (12 oz.) frozen unsweetened raspberries

Cream Layer:

1 pkg. (3 oz.) cream cheese, softened

1/3 cup confectioners’ sugar

1 tsp. vanilla

1/8 tsp. salt

1 cup whipping cream, whipped

Sauce:

2 squares (1 oz. each) unsweetened baking chocolate

1 tbsp Butter flavor Crisco stick or 1 tbsp. Butter Flavor Crisco all-vegetable shortening

¾ cup confectioners’ sugar

1/8 tsp salt

About 2 tbsp hot milk

1. For crust, prepare and bake 9-inch single crust as directed. Cool crust completely (or we like to use graham cracker crust).

2. For raspberry layer, combine granulated sugar, cornstarch and 1/8 tsp. salt in medium saucepan. Gradually stir in water. Cook and stir on medium heat until mixture comes to a boil and is thickened and clear. Add gelatin. Stir until dissolved. Stir in raspberries. Refrigerate until slightly thickened.

3. For cream layer, combine cream cheese, 1/3 cup confectioners’ sugar, vanilla and 1/8 tsp. salt in medium bowl. Beat at medium speed with electric mixer until smooth. Beat in whipped cream. Spread half of cream mixture on bottome of colled baked pie crust. Top with half of raspberry mixture. Repeat layers. Refrigerate 1 hour.

4. For sauce, combine chocolate and 1 tbsp. shortening in small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at 50% (medium) for 1 minute. Stir. Repeat until melted and smooth. (Or, melt on range top in small saucepan on very low heat.) Stir in ¾ cup confectioners’ sugar and 1/8 tsp. salt until fine crumbs form. Stir in milk, a little at a time, until mixture is of desired consistency. Drizzle over raspberry layer and edge of crust. Refrigerate at least 1 to 2 hours before serving. Refrigerate leftovers.

Note: We used an extra-serving graham cracker crust instead of the baked crust.

DVD Transformation

We have tons of DVD's and not much space. Mom had been trying to decide who to condense down the movies. 

Should she do a binder like I did?

or should she do the boxes??

She chose the boxes and it has really cut down on space.

Movies where stacked on top of each other because of lack of space.

The permanent shelves are now filled with books that have been randomly placed throughout the house. All of the Christmas movie shelf is full of Christmas books that after she reads them she will pass them on.

Dad isn't super impressed with the boxes, he liked to stand in the hall and stare at them till he decided which one to watch.

Mom hasn't decided in the cover binder if she wants to do 

two covers per sheet

or four.
