!! Best Pie Crust EVER !!

Okay so I found this pie crust recipe on www.allrecipes.com which is where I get all of my most fabulous recipes (except for the recipes I see on the food network, I go to www.foodnetwork.com for those, and they are exceptionally good too) I have to share this recipe with the world becuase it is so wonderful... really. I NEVER liked pie b/c the crust, well I LOVE PIE now!!!

Here's the recipe
2 cups flour
3/4 cups shortening
3/4 teaspoons salt
1/4 cup COLD water
1 Tablespoon cinnamon sugar/Onion powder

Okay SO the if your makeing a fruit pie add cinnamon sugar, if your making a chicken pot pie, add onion powder. This crust is SO good, SO flaky, SO delicioso!!!

so add flour, salt, and cinnamon/Onion Powder mix. cut in shortening. mash with spoon until the shortening balls up with the flour mix (little balls like peas) OR if you have a food processer you can just chop away. Then add the cold water. mix a tad then fold into a ball with hands. dump out on floured surface divide in two. (one for top and one for bottom)and roll out! Bake at 400 for 20 minutes!
I have used it for both chicken pot pie AND apple pie. MMMMMmmmmmmmMMM it is SOOOO GOOD!!

My Boys

okay So it has been a long time. I have been very busy. doing I don't know what? But blogging obviously wasn't one of the things I was busy doing. My camera has been driving me nuts and they way my computer downloads the photos into a file I hate it. I don't want the pictures judd took of his truck in with the photos of Jackson and porter. I don't want the tractor and the things we are selling on craigslist in with the pictures of my boys but they all get uploaded together into one file I named Judd's birthday (which I only have 2 pic of) and when I look at the file there are 32 pictures! who knew? So now my file is mislabeled!

Okay anyway...aren't my boys so cute? I love seeing them together...when Jackson isn't growling at Porter or trying to scare him awake when he is trying to fall asleep, that is. They look like little cherubs with their blue eyes and fat faces! especially when they are naked!

Okay so here is a story. Lately Jackson has been LOVING to make Porter laugh. He will pretend to get hurt...and Porter will laugh!? How does Porter know that that is funny? but he squeals and then Jackson laughs b/c Porter is squealing and then Porter laughs b/c Jackson is laughing...aww I am just so happy they like eachother!

The other day Jackson would run full speed into our bed, bounce off and fall on his bum, then fall back flat on his back on purpose. Porter thought it was funny so Jackson does it again...and again, and again, seriously 14 times or something! but they were both histerically laughing by the end! SO FUNNY!

The boys LOVE their grandparents! Porter LOVES to be held by his grandma, and Jackson ADORES, ADMIRES, IS IN LOVE with his grandpa! So it works great neither have to share, I don't know what will happen when we have 3 kids. (THAT IS NOT AN ANNOUCEMENT BY THE WAY)and I don't know why Jackson has his whole hand in his mouth...but that is what he does now. he sucks on his fingers..not one, the whole hand!....maybe I should give him back his binky?

But I just love these photos. It really shows their personalities. they really do have so much fun together. And Porter LOVES Jackson...as long as I'm holding him when Jackson is near him...other wise he does kind of freak out! haha!
