CRABTREE: The Marriott

The Marriott

A couple of weeks ago my Mom's friend came down to Salt Lake for a business conference and stayed in the Marriott Down Town. Since she wasn't going to get in until after mid night she let us check in for her and hang out in the room and pool. It was a lot of fun especially since Trevin decided he likes the water again.

Trevin and Rai Rai hanging out in their floaties. Brinlee learned how to swim with a life jacket on and she had so much fun pulling Trevin around in the floaty (I wish I had gotten a picture!).

Cheyenne loved the water. She just kicked back in her floaty and enjoyed the sun.

Trevin was so interested in the cranes that kept passing over the pool from all the construction going on down town but I finally got a picture that he was almost looking at the camera!

Janae and Cass finally decided to get out and dry off on the beach chairs and all the kids decided they needed to too. I thought it was pretty funny!

Back in the room watching Disney channel and eating snacks.

I think all of us enjoyed getting out of the house for the day! THANKS PATTY!

My Latest Recipe

CINNAMON ROLLS

THE DOUGH

2 (.25oz) pkgs active dry yeast

2 1/2 cups warm water

1/2 pkg of yellow cake mix (9oz)

1 tsp salt

1 tsp vanilla

5 cups flour

THE INSIDE GOODNESS

1/2 cup butter (melted)

3/4 cup white sugar

2 tsp ground cinnamon

THE FROSTING

(or BUY cream cheese frosting)

3 cup confectioner's sugar

1/2 cup butter (softened)

1 1/2 tsp vanilla

1 1/2 Tbsp milk

DIRECTIONS: In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warm water. Let it stand until creamy (about 10 minutes). Then combine the yeast mixture with the cake mix, salt, and vanilla; stir well. Stir in the flour, beat well. Cover the bowl and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour. Deflate dough and turn it out on a well floured surface. Roll out into a rectangle and spread with melted butter. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar (combine in bowl before hand to make it easy). Roll up dough (so you have a long tube) and cut into 3/4 inch thick rolls. Place on greased baking pans. Cover and let rise until doubled (about 45 min). Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake rolls for 15-20 minutes. While rolls are cooling make frosting. Stir all ingredients together in a bowl. After the rolls have cooled a bit, spread with frosting and enjoy!
