dance

Last night me my sisters and cousins went to a dance that our old co-op throws twice a year, they have food and do dances such as, the Virginia reel, Cotton-eye-joe, waltz etc.
I had a lot of fun dancing with all of my friends.

Book

I have been working on a new book, called Forgotten, I am excited about it, it's about a girl that is being bullied an abused, when a new friend, DUBLIN, comes along and helps her. when she gets PTSD from her dad abusing her, Dublin and his twin sister, IRELAND, helps her through this rough time.

Vacation

We just got back from a vacation to gorgeous Del Norte Colorado, my fav. part was sitting under a willow tree seeing the stars peaking through the branches, my sister playing the guitar, everyone joining in to the songs. 

Waiting till the younger kids go to bed then watching Captain America the First avenger, sharing a bed with two other people, fun but squashed. 

getting up early with my sister and petting the horses across the fence, we had two different names for each horse (only two horses) one of them was a caramel brown coat with a white mane, her name was either Spirit or Stallion then the other one had a chocolate brown coat and a brown mane, his names were Chompers or Browney I love my family and want to go on many more vacations like the one that we just took.

Thanks mom, dad and the rest of my siblings for an amazing vacation! :) 

How to make bread rolls 7 easy steps (Gust food post )

Hi this is Ella, Abby's sister. 

Today I made a potato casserole tonight for dinner, I love cooking and try to make super hard things, most of the time they work out, and if they don't we still eat them, it tastes good even though it may not rise.
Today I am going tell you about my favorite kind of food to make and how.
Bread Rolls

Ingredients 
1 1/2 cups of lukewarm water
2 tsp of dry yeast
4 cups of all purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 egg (beaten)



Equipment 
1 small bowl
1 Large mixing bowl
1 tablespoon
measuring cup
Baking sheets
pastry brush

Step 1. Pour 1/2 cup of lukewarm water into a small bowl. Sprinkle in the yeast and stir gently until dissolved. Set the yeast aside for 5 minutes, to activate.

Step 2. put both types of flour and the salt into a large mixing bowl and mix together. Make a well (a large hole) in the center of the flour to make a well.

Step 3. pour the yeast and mist if the remaining water into the well and gently stir in the flour. Stir in the rest of the water if necessary, to make a soft dough.

Step 4. Turn the dough out on to a floured work surface. knead for 10 min. until smooth and shiny. Put the dough in a clean bowl and cover with a towel.

Step 5. leave to rise for 1 1/2- 2 hours. Preheat the oven to 425* F (220* C). punch down the risen dough with your knuckles.

Step 6. Divide the dough into 10 pieces. Dust your hands with flour and shape the dough into rolls. Cover the rolls and set aside for 10 min.

Step 7. Brush each roll with egg. Bake for 25-30 min. or until rise and golden.

I have made these rolls before and they are awesome! I hope you enjoy them too! :)

(I got this recipe from a cook book called 'Kids' fun & healthy cookbook by Nicola Graimes the normal recipe was called sunflower seed rolls but when I looked we had no sunflower seeds so I took them out and it can't be a sunflower seed roll with out sunflower seeds. so I changed the name and made them they where so good, I hope you like them, and you can add things like dried fruit and other things to make it what you like)
thank you for reading this post! :)

Happy Birthday!

So my grandma's birthday is coming up so I wanted to write a birthday post.
My grandma is an awesome person and I love her so much, on Christmas, Easter and other holidays we will gather our whole family up, I love hearing your laugh over a ton of people talking all at once.
I love your chicken noddle soup that you make when ever we come over, and I love your recipe for rice pudding, I will remember it, even when I'm older.
Love you so much and I hope that you have the best birthday ever! :)
