Hagerman

Craig and I went to Hagerman yesterday to spend some quality time with my family. The whole family was there and as you can see by the pictures there is a lot of us. We had such a fun time playing with nieces and nephews, playing Apples to Apples, playing volleyball, emptying the swimming pool(some chemicals got put in the pool..not good), taking family pictures in the wind, and just being crazy. Enjoy pictures of the Stewart Clan.
Here is Alyssa and Annie they are the youngest of the family well except for the little baby Kathy is expecting.

Cinnamon Roll Recipe....Yummy

Cinnamon Roll Recipe....Yummy
This is my Mother-in-laws cinnamon roll recipe that is absolutely delicious. Laura made a comment on facebook about how good they turned out and for all of you that wanted the recipe here you go. I love this recipe because it is quick and easy. Enjoy because they are absolutely delicious. The secret she said is to keep the dough as sticky as possible. Oh and funny story I accidentally posted this twice on our old blog. haha

Pour 2 C Boiling Water over:
1/2 C. Sugar

Meanwhile,Beat 2 eggs in separate small bowl and set aside.

IN ANOTHER SMALL BOWL:
1/2 C Warm Water(not too hot or yeast will deactivate)

1 tsp sugar

When first mixture is not hot anymore add eggs and whisk slightly, then add third mixture.Add Flour until slightly sticky to hands(approx 6 cups). Mix with beaters, then spoon towards the end. Cover with Pam sprayed Saran wrap and rise to double.(Can heat oven to 225 and turn off, and put dough in over to rise faster).

CRAIG GOT A BETTER JOB.... AT CITI

Thats right. I finally heard back from CITI. I accepted a job as a TAP (Talent Acceration Program) associate. Which is basically a 2 year manager in training program. We are so excited. I have been looking for an opportunity to join citi for quite some time and finally am able to. I will be starting on the 20th of july.
I wish to offer our sincerest grattitude to each and everyone of you for your thoughts and prayers and your support. I have no doubt that our Father in Heaven has heard our prayers and has decided that I have learned what I needed to. (or that I will never learn so I might as well work hahaha)
I also want to say to my loving wife how much she means to me. She has supported me like no-one else could. Through her faith and positive attitude I have been able to make it thru this dark part of my life. She never uttered a negative word about my loss of my last job and has been so supportive of me in all my endevors. She has worked so hard at her job to get extra hours and work as much as possible to help us meet our bills. I feel that if any good has come of this it is that I have grown to understand her love for me and my love for her.
I LOVE YA CYNTHIA!!!!!!!!!!

P.S. Party when I get my first pay check........ everyones invited :)

Craig got a Job Whoo hoo

I am happy to post Craig has accepted a job as a psychosocial rehabilitation specialist. For now it is only part-time but I am so happy for him. He has really been starting to go crazy being at home all day and any time away will be great for him plus the extra money won't hurt. We are still waiting to hear from Citi for a full time job with them(this is the company I work for), but for the time being we are very grateful to our heavenly father for giving us this opportunity. We also want to thank all of you for your prayers and works of concern and encouragement. I guess now that he has a job I can start posting again so I will do my best.

So its Been a While.......

So we keep waiting to put up a new post until I (craig) get a job so we can post good news. But since the Lord see's that I am still in need of patience, I wanted to post a few things. Here are some pictures of when my family was here for graduation. So here are some from when we went to the bike park. We had a blast and I appreciate all the well wishing and congradulations. Working The teeter......

We don't have a single picture of ethan without a huge smile even though we kept making fun of his helmet (it wasn't actually his but its huge)

Even Danny had a huge smile on his face after a good save

Bob T working a sick turn.... props to my bro

Cynthia working a nice bank

I like to say this is dad surveying and pondering
the best way to attack the run but i dunno

Graduation

I am so proud of Craig. He graduated from Boise State University on saturday with his Bachelors in Psychology. We had a fun time with family and friends in town. Craig has worked so hard between working and school and it has now paid off. He isn't done yet though a few weeks ago he was accepted into the Masters Program at BSU for Instructional and Performance Technology.

THE BIKE PARK- the first visit.
