COOKIES!




I know that many of you will think that this is a lame post-but those of youwho really know me will be impressed! I don't bake, i hate to bake. I really only like to be in my kitchen cause it's cute. Anyway-i am trying to turn over a new leaf-and tell myself everyday-i love to bake and cook dinner. I figure if i say it eough than i will believe it and all will be better. i found this really yummy choc. chip cookie recipe online and i wanted to try it. I know that most of you probably already have a favorite, but i don't. Mine never work-well this time they did. So-i thought that i would share the recipe-it is super good and easy and very yummy!!

These pics are from our famly mini trip to Snowbird over Conference weekend. It was a great time-the kids swam outside while it was snowing! Thye loved it-I did not!



I am thnakful for my girls and how they always make me laugh! They were so excited to stick their heads in this thing. Who knew wodden cutout of german people would be such a hit!




I'm thankful for my wonderfu husband and all that he does for me! Without him i would be very sad, bored and unspoiled! This pic was taken at the top of snowbird. It was beautiful-but very cold!!!
