How to Make Woofums


A few nights ago, our family dessert was woofums.
What?
You don't know what a woofum is? You must have been hiding under a rock! Since a good majority of people never have heard of woofums, below are steps about how to make and eat woofums. It's a must try. Enjoy!


Step1: Take biscut dough, roll it out, and
shape it on the special woofum stick



Step 2: Cook dough over fire turning slowly till desire texture- Raw, Golden, or Charcoal Black
Tip: Try not to let the dough hit the ashes or roast completely in the fire




Step 3: Fill with choice of pie filling-cherry, apple, pudding, etc...




Step 4: Top with lots of whipped cream


AND MORE WHIPPED CREAM
and enjoy!

WHY IS THIS TREAT CALLED A WOOFUM?!
Look below and you'll know! Just woofum down!



(I love this picture. His shirt says, "Do I Really Have To Explain Myself?"
HAHAHAHA)



Have fun making woofums! Perfect for this wonderful, stormy weather!

P.S. Sister Garrett,
Sorry I couldn't come to seminary today or tommorow in this case. I have pictures of the flood I'll probably put up tomorrow. So sorry. Loved your blog about your daddy.

Audrey's Ark

It's raining! It's pouring! The old man is snoring!

It's raining cats and dogs out here in De Luz! Fortunately, our Internet is still working.

My sister, Audrey, started her own blog called, Audrey's Ark. It's a really cute blog that I'm helping her with about her animals. She is getting her own digital camera soon too. She needs some followers and good comments! Go check it out!

BSA Adventure Base 100

Last weekend, our family went down to San Diego for a special ceremony at the Adventure Base 100. My dad is apart of Woodbadge staff which is a level of training for scouts. My dad helped another to complete his part of training. The ceremony is called "beading." They had some cool scout activities including a C.O.P.E. (Challenging Outdoor Personal Experience) course, video, collectors penny, and a booth for funny green screen picture. Enjoy the pictures that I took at our scout-tastic adventure!

Of course, the famous pose.
This time in a scout uniform!
SCOUT POWER!

My dad gave a little speech...


The awards begin!


The Bear Patrol gave my dad a
Smokey the Bear sign as a joke because
he likes to throw black powder into the camp fire.
It said, "PLEASE! Help Prevent Forest Fires!"





C.O.P.E Course




He was so excited! Brian was almost too short!

Back to Schedule on Monday

Christmas was fantastic. New Years Eve was crazy fun. New Years day was tiring. Now school has to start again. On New Year’s Day, we went to our church’s Avocado Bowl. The men (young and old) play football. It’s not a highly interesting game. But sadly, I didn’t take any pictures. After the football game, and after I played some baseball with my dad and siblings, we went shooting. I had some friends that really wanted to shoot. So, we shot multiple guns at clay pigeons and stumps. My friend Cheyenne and I shot a clay pigeon. Luck …. Um I mean skill mostly.

Hope Your New Year was refreshing and off to a good start. Wish us luck to get back on schedule for seminary, school, softball and all that other good stuff. And I wish you the best!
