Martha Cooks with Kids


On October 7th Susie attended Martha's "Cooking with Kids" class at Thanksgiving Point, along with her neighborhood cookoing buddies. These classes are very well received. There are 15-20 people in attendance, more than half being very well behaved children, who loved going into the kitchen to help Martha. In addition they decorated cupcakes, caramel apples, dipped Oreo cookies, and tried a couple of unusual leftover turkey sandwiches.


There were some delicious leftover turkey sandwiches with red onion and cream cheese . . .m.m.m.m.m.m.m!
They were grilled on white bread with sage leaves adorning it.

Martha demonstrates Devil's food cupcakes with her trusty helpers.

Decorated caramel apples and chocolate dipped double stuffed Oreo cookies were a part of the fun.

The Wooden Spoon Cooking School


Susie has been involved with a cooking school on Welfare Square that is dedicated to providing instruction on using the home storage commodities. It has been enthusiastically received by those who have participated. I think the response is best summed up by a sister who, after attending all the classes said, "this is the first time I have had hope that I can really do this"! There is a bi-weekly newsletter put out by The Wooden Spoon. To receive it send an email to ListServ@lists.lds.org (no subject line). In the body of the message write Subscribe WSQ-Cannery-News Your Name (typing your first and last name where it says "your name").

Elder Stott in Springfield

Shown here is his Springfield district (before the transfer to Corvallis) along with President and Sister Fugal. Nate loves President Fugal, from whom he has learned so much! His current address is:

Thanks for all your support!

The Millers


Jane is a joy and delight to her parents. Jan is looking forward to finishing up his master's degree in December and has been checking out a few engineering firms. Stefanie works with the Laurels in her ward while Jan teaches in the Elder's quorum. Perhaps we'll get the Millers in town for a time in December.

The Ure Family


Bethany and her mommy are doing well in Houston. They enjoy participating in a play group on Wednesdays. Angela teaches the young women and James is a ward missionary. Beth will be a tender big sister to the new brother coming in February. James finishes up in May, and the family is hoping to settle in Cedar City.

Our missionaries










As I was thinking about those from our family who are currently serving missions, I remembered this picture that Carolyn took out at our house on the bunk bed (that doubled as a pirate ship for any and all adventures). Since it has been so long since anything has been added to the blog, I thought I'd post something new (or old). Enjoy!

This picture of Emily was taken on the same day as the one of the boys above. It was early January 1992, the day Jon received a name and a blessing at our house. Doesn't she look like Henrietta?

It's a Boy!





Cash Ryan Isom, was born June 14, 2006. He was 7lbs, 12oz. 20 inches. He's a cutie! He's excited to meet everyone. Carolyn is out here until Tuesday to help. Mark, Jane, and family also happened to be in town and were able to meet our new little boy. Ryan is a sweet dad, and I'm one sleepy mom. :)
