It's Science fair time....

Well, as the title suggests its that time of the year again, Science Fair!!  This year Eden is working together with a friend from her class to show how to make a light bulb work.  They have decided to make 'bulb bugs' as a more unique way of presenting the light bulb.  On their table at the in school science fair they will have many household objects and people will have to try and guess which ones will work and which won't.  You will be surprised by some of them!

A Family Favorite

Banana Chocolate Chip Loaf

A family favorite in our house is Banana Chocolate chip loaf.  This loaf is a bit different to the traditional one, It comes up lighter in color on the inside and in my opinion a lot more moist.  The kiddies love it and it's a great way of using up those over ripe bananas.

Since we enjoy it so much we thought we would share the recipe with you!

10oz  Plain Flour
1 tsp baking powder
1tsp baking soda
1/4tsp salt
4 ripe banana's
4oz fine white granulated sugar
1 egg, beaten with a fork
3 fl oz milk
3 fl oz vegetable oil
2-3 oz chocolate chips

Temperature: 375-400 F
Time: 20 minutes

Enjoy!!

The Lawler Kiddies

We have a friend who offered to take some time and try to get some pics of the kids.  It was a gift for Zachariah's birth, a wonderful gift at that!!!   We are really happy with how the pics turned out.  We can't put them all up (although most are on facebook), we just wanted to share a few!

Zachariah's Dedication

On April 1st, Zachariah was dedicated at St.Pauls.  We wanted to take the time to thank God for the precious gift of another son and commit to making the choice to raise him up to be a man who follows, honors and searches out God.

Mr & Mrs Yarrall

Introducing Mr & Mrs Yarrall

On Saturday, April 7th 2012 we welcomed yet another person to the family.  

Jon married Tina (Aaron's youngest sister).  

The day was a wonderful event.  The weather was crisp but sunny for great photo's.  Bride & Groom both looked great and all 17 nieces and nephews looked wonderful and behaved just as well. 

We started with family photo's in the park and moved on to the ceremony then reception and evening party.  Fun was had by all. 

The week before the wedding was fun but busy, lots of family visiting from both sides.  We are excited for Tina to be part of her new family.  The Yarrall's were lots of fun and seem to be a really great family.  

There are lots more photo's on our facebook if you would like to see more!

Never too young for chess

playing a game of chess

The older kids are all very helpful with Zachariah.  They love playing with him and even helping with those jobs that nobody actually wants to do but, i was very surprised to come in and find them trying to teach him how to play chess.   I guess you really never are too young for chess!
