Utah

We went to Utah for the weekend. It was very nice! My little brother David graduated from Eagle Gate College from the Criminal Justice Program. We are very proud of him and accomplishing this with a family of 5 little boys under foot. We did it with almost 3 little boys and boy is it hard. Holly (NO not me my sister in law) is very patient and humble, ya have to be to handle a husband who works full time and attends school. We tried to make it in time for his ceremony unfortunately David caught up with us on our way to there home AFTER the ceremony.
We had a BLAST as we usually do when we spend time with family!! We went to the Hill Air Force Museum the boys absolutely LOVED it. They all flew airplanes, explored with airplanes and lifted helicopters as you can see in the picture of my MUSCLE MEN!!

These are some Cinnamon Rolls I made last night and cooked up right quick this morning for breakfast they were delicious!! They are Super Easy!! Just time consuming. Oh I found this recipe on the Internet I don't recall where so I apologize. Also I like this recipe because I can fit 4 cups of flour in my Kitchen Aide, all others call for 6-8 cups of flour and it's too much for my machine.
Cinnabon Rolls

Icing

dissolve yeast in warm milk in a large bowl. Add sugar, butter ,salt, eggs, and flour. Mix well knead dough into a large ball dust with flour let rise in a warm place 1 hour or until it doubles in size.

In a small bowl combine brown sugar and cinnamon. Roll dough out to a 16X21 rectangle about 1/4 inch thick spread dough with 1/3 c. butter and sprinkle evenly with sugar mixture. Roll up cut into 12 even tolls. Place rolls in a lightly greased 9x13 glass baking dish. Cover & let rise until nearly doubled about 30 min.
**Now place them in the refrigerator for the next morning  if doing the night before.**

Preheat oven 350* cook 18-20 min or until golden brown.mix up Icing spread 1/2 on while hot and again with remaining when cool. Mine never makes it to that stage so it's all on there HOT!!!
