I've almost finished up a pan of one of my favorite desserts. Generally I don't care for lemon desserts, and I used to claim I didn't like lemon bars. But right after I had Grant, some of our neighbors brought dinner, and my friend Lacey brought lemon bars. I tentatively sampled one and I've been eating them ever since! Even better, no one else at my house likes them, so I get to eat them all!
Lemon Bars (Lionhouse recipe)
1/2 c soft butter
1/4 c powdered sugar
1 cup flour
Cream butter and sugar, add flour. Press into an 8X8 pan and cook at 325 degrees for 15-30 minutes.
While baking, combine:
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 cup sugar
2 Tbsp flour
2 Tbsp lemon juice
Grated rind of 1/2 lemon (I've left this out before and it's just as good)
Mix well and pour over cooked crust. Bake for an additional 18-25 minutes at 325 degrees. Sprinkle with sifted powdered sugar. Cool slightly before cutting.
I would have taken a picture, but there's only one left!

Catching up
I have no idea how it has been so long since I've posted! We had a fun summer, it was just over so fast! Here are a few random pictures of Grant.
Playing with chalk outside- our grass is finally looking better!
Grant figured out that magnets would stick to this vase.
I made some homemade Play Dough and it turned out great! It never dries up and Grant will play with it for quite awhile. 
Here's the recipe:
2 c flour
1 c salt
4 tsp cream of tartar
2 cups water with food coloring
2 T oil
Mix all ingredients in a nonstick pan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until it forms a hard ball. It gets kind of hard to stir, but keep mixing until all the parts are hardened. Remove from pan and knead for a couple minutes. (Careful, it will be pretty warm!) Enjoy!
Grant sleeps with a bunch of animals and loves to carry them around. He is so silly!
Here he is doing "Itsy Bitsy Spider." He watches this movie over and over and laughs at himself.
As for Tyson and I, we are doing great. BYU is ranked #7, so how could Tyson not be doing great?! I had an emergency appendectomy a couple of weeks ago- it was pretty crazy! I'm feeling much better now and since medical technology is amazing, my recovery was pretty short. I am trying to get back into a schedule and I will try to be better at checking your blogs and writing back! Have a great day!
