oh, as the 2nd oldest child out of four, I'd have to say watch out for the 2nd oldest. I got my older brother in trouble all the time, just because I could. I know, horrible, huh. Good luck.
I love your blog! I could learn a few things from you. Mine is pretty simple, but could use some help! My favorite part is pictures of my grandchildren!
Hey Becky, It's good to find another long lost friend here in the blogging world. I love blogs. What else can you say. Your kids are getting so big. I think the last time I saw you was when Lillian was just a tiny baby. How is school or residency going for John? Has be picked a speciality yet? What a cute family.
Of course I remember you. It's not been that long. Sunnyside, huh? Good friends of ours were there. Jason and Lydia Moyer. It's been a while and I am not sure if they are still there. But you always have to play the do you know game when you get a chance. Your family has grown!!! It's amazing how things change when you blink! Where are you going to end up when school is all done?
Reply to Cindy and Kim (and anyone else who is interested- we aren't sure where we will end up- but most likely it will be somewhere in Eastern Washington. Jon is just finishing up his 4th year of Medical School- he graduates in May! Next step is Residencies (Jon is doing Family Practice)- his top choices are Spokane Family Medicine (including their rural track in Colville), and Central Washington Family Medicine in Yakima. We will be moving in June to probably either Spokane or Yakima.
Oh- and I don't know Lydia Moyer - she might have left before we moved here in July 2006.
It has been so much fun to see everyone's comments- thanks for saying hi!
I am a busy mom of four INTENSE (but wonderful!) children, and married to the Prince of my dreams- Jon- who is a Family Doctor at the Deer Park Family Care Clinic. In February 2012, we moved from the Detroit, MI Metro area (where Jon was finishing up his Residency Program) to our wonderful hometown of Spokane, WA. I am a stay at home mom and loving it! Life has had it's ups and downs - - Friends and family are extremely important to me, and most of all my faith in the Lord- and those are the things that make life wonderful!
Grilled Asian Pork Tenderloin Salad MMMMM- so yummy! My new favorite.
Dressing: 3 Tbsp rice vinegar 1 ½ tbsp soy sauce 2 tsp Pampered Chef Asian Seasoning 1 tsp sugar 1/3 cup vegetable oil
Pork: 2 Tbs Pampered Chef Asian Seasoning 1 Tbs vegetable oil 1 pork tenderloin (about 1 pound)
Salad: 5 cups salad greens 1 small red pepper, cut into 2 in strips 1 cup snow peas (cut up if wanted) ½ small red onion, sliced thin 1/3 cup snipped fresh cilantro
Garnish with 1/4 cup chopped dry roasted peanuts (optional)
To make dressing, mix all ingredients and refrigerate until ready to use.
For the pork- cut off silver skin and extra fat. If the tenderloin is especially thick, slice lengthwise in half so it will cook faster. Mix veg. oil and seasoning, then rub over entire surface of tenderloin. Heat a grill pan for 5 minutes on medium, then grill the tenderloin for 15-20 minutes (turning every five minutes or so) until done (thermometer reaches 155-165 degrees). Remove pork from pan and tent with foil for 5-10 minutes (to keep in juicy!).
While pork is cooking, prepare the salad portion. Carve pork into slices and serve on top of salad, then drizzle with dressing and sprinkle with peanuts.

Very Low Fat Strawberry Cream Trifle (Yum- this is delicious! I would never have guessed it is almost fat free! It is also less than 250 calories per 1 cup serving.)
1/2 cup sliced almonds 12 ounces angel food cake 16 ounces fresh strawberries 1 container (16 oz) frozen sliced strawberries, thawed 1 lemon 3 cups Fat Free Strawberry Yogurt (Dannon Lite and Fit is the best!) 1 pkg (1 oz) fat free instant cheesecake pudding 8 ounce container lite (or fat free) frozen whipped topping, thawed, divided
Toast almonds in microwave 1-2 minutes, stirring after each 30 second interval, until golden brown. Coursely chop almonds and set aside. Cut cake into 1 inch pieces and set aside. Hull and slice strawberries (can do large chunks). Combine fresh and frozen strawberries; mix well.
Juice lemon to measure 2 Tbsp juice. Whisk lemon juice, yogurt and pudding mix until smooth. Immediately fold in 1 cup of the whipped Topping.
To assemble trifle, place one-third of the cake into bottom of a large glass bowl. Top cake with one-third of the strawberry mixture, then one-half of the yogurt mixture- spreading evenly. Sprinkle with one-third of the almonds. Repeat layers one time. Top with remaining cake cubes and remaining strawberry mixture. Spread remaining whipped topping over top of trifle, forming a flat surface, then sprinkle with remaining almonds.
