Best Homemade Pancakes

My kids love pancakes, when we go out to eat they want pancakes and when it is the weekend they want pancakes.  I find this recipe in the paper and wrote it down and it is so yummy and fluffy.  It is even better with bananas cooked in.

The Fluffiest Thickest Pancakes

1 1/2 cups flour
3 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar

1 1/4 cup milk
1 egg
3 Tablespoon butter, melted

In large bowl with the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar.  Make a well in the center and pour in the milk, egg, butter and mix until smooth.  Heat griddle over medium-high heat.  (servings: 8 pancakes)

My beautiful girl!

 

This First Year has flown so fast.  Can we hit the pause button please!?!  Emily is the sweetest baby, so loved by all.  Matthew and Isabel think she is the best baby and tell her so everyday.  They have to kiss and hug her almost as much as I do.  Em lights up when Daddy walks in the door, still her favorite word (mostly only word) is, 'da da'.  She crawls as fast as she can to him.  She still loves mommy's milk but will sneak away Izzies or Matthews chocolate milk.   She will stand all by herself but no steps yet, soon I am sure.  She is my cuddle bug and will pretend to be shy and give hugs.  She is 19 lbs and is in the 25-50 percentile on all her stats.  And she has 7 teeth.  I love this sweet girl so much!

Matthew - 7 years!

Birthday boy!

My handsome 7 year old!

 

March is the craziest month filled with so many birthdays, anniversaries, and church duties, the first birthday is my Matthew, and he turned 7!  He is such a good boy, I can go on and on, on how sweet, good helper, caring, loving, smart he is.  I am blessed to be his mother.  This past year he has excelled in so many subjects at school.  He reads above his grade level (reads the scriptures with us every night too), he is doing double digit math problems, and writing and spelling well.  If you ask him what his favorite subject in school is, guess what, it is lunch!  He is playing Tball right now and really enjoying it.  He is the tallest and the fastest kid on his team and he is very proud to be the fastest.  He will pass the other kids when running to the next base (when there is a home run)!  It is so fun to watch.  For Spring break we went to Legoland.  It was a really fun trip - the kids loved the rides!  John and I enjoyed spending the time together as a family.

 

John and I celebrated our 9 year anniversary on March 12th.  We take pictures of us every year on our anniversary and put it in a book with what we did and such.  Now that Matthew can take our pictures it starts getting interesting.  One had a finger in it and 3 were fuzzy - but hey - that is life with 3 little ones!  And I wouldn't trade it for anything.  This man by my side is my best friend and I adore him more now than I did when we got married.  I am grateful for our forever marriage and family.  I must have done something right in heaven to get this man - THANK YOU Heavenly Father for guiding us together!

 

11 month old wiggle worm

 Em is so wiggly - so sweet - so darling - so growing up to fast!  I need a person to hold the camera, one person to keep her hair-bow in and another to keep her attention for the camera.  All well you get to see all her craziness.

 She has received 4 new teeth this month -poor baby!  And she has had the flu this past month.  Hopefully this next month we can have a smooth sailing one. 

This is how my girl is, happy.  If she find something on the floor and wants to eat it and I see her she will hold her hand out to me and give it to me. 

I love this one.  She loves her big sister.  All my children love each other.  That is one of the greatest gifts.

11 months old.  My Em.

Emily - 10 months old - January 2013

10 months old.  She got spoiled this month with Grandma and Papa Stewart helping us move down the street.  I don't think she touched the floor she was held all month!  However she is still not spoiled - easiest going baby!
