February 1, 2026 Rosemary Bread

February 1, 2026

Rosemary Bread

My boss gave us a Rosemary Bread recipe so I wanted to try it. It did require a dutch oven, which I got a few years ago for Christmas.

The dough had to sit overnight so this morning when I got up I checked up on it and got it ready for the oven. It turned out pretty good!

Shanna's Birthday

As a family we are not celebrating my birthday until Saturday. When we will go out to eat at Red Lobster and eat my cheesecake after.

Today at work I got sung to (we will do my lunch on Thursday). And a parent and her daughter brought me a strawberry shake from Chick-Fil-A. It was pretty yummy.

Brittany did have her co-workers sign a card and gave me a 3D card flower arrangement. Pretty cute.

January 24, 2026 Wedding Dress Day

January 24, 2026

Wedding Dress Day

Today we went to a couple shops for Kylee to try on and find a wedding dress. Porter's sisters, Hannah Reynolds and MikaylaShelley; myself and Brittany were able to go with her. It was fun watching Kylee come out in the different dresses. The one she ended up picking out was at our 2nd location. We could hear her giggling in the dressing room. So we knew she loved it.

Between the two appointments we went to the mall and shopped (Brittany and I went and found her Pokemon cards). Then we met up for lunch at Chick Fil-A. Then headed over to the 2nd shop.

I won't show a picture now of the dress she picked. But have showed a few from each shop.

1st shop: The Perfect Dress

2nd shop: Love and Curves

I had leftover buttermilk from Brittany's birthday cake. I didn't want it to go to waste so I tried buttermilk biscuits. They turned out really good.

Grandpa and Grandma Korth come for Brittany's Birthday

After church today grandpa and grandma came over to give Brittany her birthday present. They got her a little kit to put together that would turn into a greenhouse. She already got one for Christmas last year. So they are taking that back and gave her money.

Fast forward a few days, Brittany bought a huge stuffed dragon with the money she received.

Brittany's Birthday

We celebrated Brittany's birthday tonight after we all got home from work. She wanted the fudge cake so I finished making that yesterday. On her cake Brittany found a RIP candle at work. So she used that. Funny!

We got her How to Train Your Dragon puzzle.

Brittany's Says.....

Quote of the day from my soon to be 10 yr old, "I don't want to be healthy! I want to be big and fat like you! Hmmm ya thanks.
B: "Dad I got permanent marker on the table. Can you clean it off before mommy sees it?" Jon: Laughing says "You are supposed to use your place mat" B: "Please come clean it off" nothing... B: Comes upstairs, "Mom dad drew on a balloon with permanent marker and got it on the table. He didn't use a place mat." Me: "Jon?" B: Runs downstairs "See dad if you don't clean it up, mommy is going to blame you!" So I guess she is figuring out new ways to get something she wants accomplished quickly?
Believing can make things come true
We were talking about how big things are and Brittany says: Mom you remind me of a Gar Fish. Jon laughs and said at least it wasn't a dragon.
So, today at the dinner table, our 8yr old, who is learning the articles of faith, says "we believe that chocolate is the yummest thing ever!!!!" hehehe must the the 14th one.
So my 8yr old, said to Shanna, "you should work at Home Depot... That way you can be the one to hand out the popcorn!!!"
"Daddy are you Santa Clause"?, I say why do you ask? she says "cause your fat like him"...hmmmm, not sure how to take that.
What does Santa drink?...Coke?
Tonight while getting ready to go to bed, Brittany said (7rs old) "daddy read me 3 stories tonight", Jon says no we usually only do 2, why should we do 3.. she says, "Cause I am CUTE and you LOVE me.... yup.. lost that one.. I think she ended up with 4.
After the first day of 2nd Grade.."You mean we get to go to school tomorrow...this day just gets better and better!"
At 7 yrs old: You know what my favorite part about nature is? The insects.
My favorite room in your house is the food storage room.
The lady has puffy legs.
Bless daddy that he will have a good day at work. Bless mommy that she will have a good day with housework, or whatever.

Kylee Says.....

July 2, 2018 I told Kylee she needs some Tennis Shoes for her tennis lesons. She asked what they were. I told her it is what we all wear. She said oh, I thought you said "tennis shoes". I said I did. She said oh I always say "tenna shoes".
July 1, 2018 Talking about the sacrament Kylee said we renew our sins when we take the sacrament. We laughed so hard.
Asked Me (Shanna) "Was the light bulb invented when you were a kid?" (age 9)
To Jon for Fathers day: Roses are red, violets are blue. I love you more than rootbeer and shoes! (age 9)
Old people are like cats, they both take lots of naps. (age 9)
Why does daddy do everything? Me: WHAT? (age 7)
We were talking about cars I had when I was younger and she asks, were tbey horse powered? So I asked what? She says, you know, like horse and buggy?
Did you have tv back in your time?
Please bless grandpa that he won't die.
So, tomorrow is Pizza day at the elementary school. In her prayers tonight our youngest prayed to have a good day at lunch with pizza! Struck me funny, oh I have taught her too well.
Green reminds me of pickles.
This isn't bacon, its pork. (We were eating canadian bacon at the time).
I want some "Chicken on a Bone" (aka Kentucky Fried Chicken)
Let's go to Honkin Donalds (aka McDonalds)
During one of the football games, while the teams were lining up to run a play, Kylee (5 yrs old) says "why do they stick their butts up in the air"?
At 5 yrs old: "Dad can I go to a hotel with Patrick? It has a pool?"
Can you let a girl spend her time in the bathroom!
Just gotta let a man be a man...
Maybe that is why my tummy is big...it is having a baby.
I am thankful for my fridge, the microwave, and my family, Brittany, mommy, daddy, and me.
I'm dancing...and so are my cheeks.
