The forth in the third perspective

The first perspective what Mary's in Genuinely Jarman, and then 2nd in Becky perspective For Champions, and I can agree on many points (since Mary used a lot of my pictures) and I will defiantly agree on the Joe part and him being home with his girls!  At that point I feel we could have had a crappy 4th, and everything could have gone wrong, and finding out Joe was home would have still made it the best 4th ever! Mary and Becky thank you both for putting into words, and expressing the weekend perfectly.... Now for what the missed!
 
So I don't know where the foot thing started....but this perspective looks like he has a huge foot!

So at the free toy booth we got Edward some of those blow up balloons and well he popped them pretty quick, but loved walking around swinging the popped balloons, almost as much at the bunny!

And really Becky....you hit on a bunch of stuff "only in Malta" but how could you miss the toilet tossing!  No Braden didn't win, but where else could you through a toilet?

Did anyone mention the RAIN!  Loved it! However I really think the shirt belongs to Mom not Dad, it fit me way to well!

So Saturday the 3rd before we went to the Malta celebrations, Trevor, Ben, Steve, Jim, and Braden hiked up to the snow drifts (4,000 Feet strait up) Trevor felt he was slowing them all down so he turned back but the others had a lot of fun.  He did however get a picture of this very unique tree!  I love this picture! Edward Angie, and I went to Malta to run the "Malta Fun Run"  Melissa was there to help and direct, Edward was in it for the ride.  I finished 3 minutes behind Angie.  I was at 48 minutes,  last year when I walked it was more like a hour and 20 minutes. 

So Trevor got Jordan to spray paint a shirt....Jordan had a blast painting this shirt for Trevor.  On the front it says "country girl" and on the back it say "cowgirl up!" Trevor put it on Tuesday morning and went and worked on Melissa's computer with every intention of taking off the shirt before heading home. Then Ben got involved....at first it was Ben saying he would give Trevor $50.00 if he wore it all the way home, and that turned into Melissa getting some much needed parts for her computer if Trevor wore it all the way home, and I needed to take pictures.  This is Trevor putting gas in the car in Burley.

Now he is going in to get a soda.

We even got this truck driver to point and laugh (I just didn't get it in the picture)

Here we are at home....I thought I got some more pictures in Mountain Home, but you know me and these stupid cameras ....I didn't save it.

The funniest is where the flower is on the front of the shirt.  I would just start laughing when ever he walked into the room.  So in the end Trevor wore this shirt all the way home and Melissa has already got her new computer parts!  So it looks like we either need to head back to Juniper, or she needs to make a trip to Boise!

7Up (Sprite) Chicken

Basic ingredients: 

1 pound bacon

1-2 cups flour depending on how much chicken you use (1 cup per gallon zip lock bag)

8 chicken breast or 12 thighs

 seasoning salt

Garlic powder

pepper

Carrots 

potatoes

Mushrooms (a bunch)

onions

1 can of 7-UP

Butter/margarine

So this is what I did.  The chicken was was cut into slices, and I put them in a zip lock bag with lots of season salt  & garlic powder, (this is the only seasoning you use).  I cut the bacon up and cooked it up.  I took it out and then browned the chicken (in 2 batches). Leave the extra flour in the pot.  I used baby carrots because I hate to pill and cut carrots. Peel and cut up the potatoes, and chop up the onions and mushrooms (unless you got the presliced mushrooms), and no I am not lazy I just hate cutting up stuff! 

So when the chicken is browned, through in all the potatoes, carrots, onions, and mushrooms you want, slice the butter on top, and dump on the sprite or 7up.  Cook it in the dutch oven for about 45 minutes or an hour, or until it is done.  Stir it and check on it every now and again.   YUM YUM!
