Recently I figured out how to make sweet orange rolls, just like Mama Hoopes used to make (except they weren't "rolled" the same- OH WELL). I had tried the recipe a couple of times and the rolls were pretty puny. This time they got bigger! We're chalkin' that one up to adding more flour! Boy, I really had to hold back so I didn't eat the whole pan! Luckily I shared most of them with my friends and neighbors. This was a couple of weeks ago, but just looking at the picture is making me hungry...
ALSO... we've been working in our backyard and we even planted a garden. HOORAY! We had a lot of help from the boys, so I hope our hard work pays off with a bounteous harvest! Cael had the most fun with the water hose. Cael has been learning about plants and what they need to grow. He must think the same rules apply to baby brothers because Brecon got the brunt end of the water hose multiple times. He took it like a man and didn't cry until he got some water right in the face, then the party was over. Also, Brecon enjoyed the dirt, not just playing with it, but eating it as well. And when the dirt was mixed with water... we had a mud party. Kids love mud!

1st: that picture of your rolls looks as professional as the rolls taste! Thanks for sharing them with me. We loved eating them!
2nd: Both those pictures of your boys are just too funny. I think the one with Brecon is the best though. Definitely one to put in the scrapbook. What did you plant in your garden? Hope no tomatoes. We planted enough in the garden at my house to last 7 families. Good for you guys to getting that garden going. I'll be by to plant some strawberries there tomorrow. ;)
YUM! Send the recipe for your orange rolls...those look AWESOME!
I don't know... it's a secret family recipe (Purple Ribbon winner at the Lincoln County Fair!)
Well, I guess I'll send it to ya, you are my friend after all :)
Yum, we love orange rolls! Wish we were your neighbors! I can't believe Brecon, he didn't seem bothered by the dirt one little bit! He is so darn cute.
Those look way good! The picture made me hungry too. Gotta love orange rolls! And your boys are so stinkin' cute. I LOVE the picture of Brecon! How funny!
P.S. We have been looking at a bunch of residency programs in Texas--it would be pretty cool to end up somewhere near you guys!
I'd like to make an order for 12 dozen of those sweet rolls...thank you...have them to me by Monday.
Hi Becky! I found your blog from Jodi's. Too sweet! I can't wait to read about all your adventures! Those rolls look super yummy. You'll have to share the recipe. Marcus loves cranberry orange scones and would just fall over with glee if I ever came close to replicating them for him. Brecon looks almost as tasty as those rolls!
