Number Five

My baby sister, Jocelyn, graduated from Rio Mesa High School a few weeks ago! She is the fifth and final "Jenkins" to walk the stage at Rio Mesa! Her sisters, (who love her more than her brothers), came for the exciting day! Actually this was the best graduation yet. The bleachers were full so we had a nice spot on the lawn.
Shaun and Eric took a nap.

Kaitlyn ran and played.

I fed Tyler and got to visit with my family

Oh and we got to watch Jocelyn graduate!

Jocelyn left for BYU a few days after graduation.
Jocelyn/Graduate/Joci, we miss you already!

Recipe of the Day, Week, Month, or whenever I feel like changing it!

The kids and I took a trip to Half Moon Bay, CA in January to see the Mavericks surf contest and spend the weekend with my favorite Aunt Fay, Uncle Bob and Grandma! Aunt Fay made us the best buttermilk pancakes with homemade buttermilk syrup!

Buttermilk Pancakes
2 1/2 cups buttermilk
1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
5 egg yolks
Combine above ingredients
Add:
2 1/4 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
6 Tablespoons oil
Beat 5 egg whites and fold into above mixture when griddle is ready.

Buttermilk Syrup
1 stick of butter
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup buttermilk
Add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat and add:
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teasopoon vanilla
Stir and enjoy!

I made pancakes from a mix this morning for breakfast. Brittany asked if I had any of the good syrup. I said yes, because we have some strawberry syrup in the fridge right now. She was dissapointed to see that we in fact did not have any of the good syrup! She was hoping for the buttermilk kind! I guess I need to add buttermilk to the grocery list!
