Saturday's Breakfast.

Our family has decided to go on a weight loss challenge. I am aiming on losing 10lbs. and I am not sure what everybody elses goals are.

but I like sugar a lot. So I have been dreaming up healthy yet delicous desserts.

This is the only one so far... but I will keep you posted.

What makes it healthy? Actually it still has sugar. And it has fat. But not a whole lot of both and it has fruit too! So that makes it like 10 times better for you. ;)

But anyhow...

The crust is a sugar cookie recipe with almost all whole wheat.

The frosting is a light glaze made with neufchâtel cheese ( instead of cream cheese.)

and of course there is fruit on top. :)

so it's healthy- right?

Our House.

One thing I really like about our house...

We have a lot of books.

Mom's bookshelf. My Book shelf. It houses more than just books. I like to stick pictures everywhere. actually I have another bookshelf, But I didn't get a pretty picture of it. These are not technically books- but old National Geographic and Readers digests are pretty fun to read.

Song books and Encyclopedias along with other educational books.

a few kids books. or more. :)

Dad's study books for sermons and stuff.

And Luke's book shelf. Lots of Louis L'Amour. :)

He's tried to get lots of people to read the survival book. But it is kind of a dry read.

and we have more...

Some may say it is too many books and maybe it is-

but I don't think that we shall ever be out of reading material.

Reading is such a lovely thing.

A Handmade Christmas.

On our trip to see my Grandma I took some yarn and a crochet hook in hopes that I would be able to make a camera case for my new multi purpose gadget. :)

I got it done and it was quite nice to pass the time and to even work on while we were visiting.

This one is for me but now I am working on another for a gift for some lucky case-less person.

I do think it turned out rather cute, and it is thick and strong to protect my camera.

Home Improvement......
