Pictures of Chris and Julie's new roof

Check out the roof on this one. This is where Santa will squeeze in.

This one kind of gives you an idea of where the roof fits in on the whole house.
As you can see it sits on the top. Julie says it's to keep the rain
out but Chris says it's to keep the sun out. I know it's not as
exiting as the other pictures but we all need to know just how the
roof is integrated into the building.

Alright, back to the good pictures. Here we see the sun being blocked by
the roof. Looks like Chris might be onto something.

Isn't this just incredible? The roof is so beautiful and brown and
has those little lines.

Whoops! we can see the archway of the garage and a little bit of the
light in this picture. Should've cropped that out.

I don't know about you guys but this makes me want to drive straight
to Lehi to get a real life look at this wonderful rooftop in living color!
Thanks, Chris for allowing us this glimpse into the amazing
world that is house coverings. And thank you for allowing me to
post these pictures on the blog.

Jacob at the Beach

We had a great day in Santa Cruz yesterday building sandcastles, flying kites, and playing frisbee at the Boardwalk (no rides were open), then had some chowder out on the end of the wharf, then checking out the tidepools at Natural Bridges and enjoying the sunset. Beautiful weather - in the low 60s.

Salsa Chicken

Here's what we're having for dinner tonight:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
4 tsp. taco seasoning mix
1 C. Salsa
1 C. shredded cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 375. Spray 9x13 baking dish and arrange chicken in it. Sprinkle both sides of chicken evenly with taco seasoning. Cover chicken (top only this time) with salsa. Bake for 25 - 35 minutes until chicken is done (juices run clear, etc.). Top with cheese and bake another 3 - 5 minutes. Serve with spanish rice or just by itself. Tastes great as leftovers too.

Halloween Pics

In case you're wondering, Sarah's Winnie the Pooh costume wouldn't accomodate the warm clothes well and her Leia costume still fit and matched Jacob pretty well. Don't worry, the Pooh costume got plenty of use before the 31st. Those are all pumpkins from our patch too.

California Bean Dip

Some of you wanted this recipe so I'm posting it here to get more traffic to our blog:

2 (11 ounce) cans white corn, drained
2 (15 ounce) cans black beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup Italian-style salad dressing
1 cup Ranch-style salad dressing
1 small onion, chopped
1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
2 teaspoons chopped fresh cilantro (or dry)
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Mix it all up in a medium bowl. Chill in the refrigerator 8 hours, or overnight, before serving

(We've had it with yellow corn and it just isn't as good. Get the small cans of Green Giant white shoepeg corn. Also you can use any type of italian and ranch - we use 3-cheese ranch by Kraft because there's no MSG. If you use dry cilantro, which we usually do, use only about 1 tsp.)
