Chocolate Crinkles


I spent the better half of yesterday making and cooking my mom's Chocolate Crinkle Cookies. I have been handed down a lot of my moms recipes and my two favorites are her buttermilk rolls which we love on Thanksgiving and these Chocolate Crinkles. I just love them!

While I'm talking about cookies I better tell you about these. I sampled this Lacey's cookies at Costco and about died okay I didn't really almost die but they were so good! If you love toffee you will love them!

Baptism, muskrat, Zeppes and Santa


Saturday morning we woke up to Wyatt and Trey really excited because an animal was in their window well. It was a baby muskrat! Kevin was going to kill it but I asked him not to and Maisey said "Please don't kill it daddy" So that was that and the muskrat was going to have to stay in the window well for awhile because we needed to hurry and get to my niece Allisen's baptism.

Alisen's baptism was at ten in the morning. I decided to see if my sister would watch Trey and Maisey because Kevin wasn't going to be able to make it and I wanted to listen without all of the interruptions. They had a great time playing with their cousins. Thanks Mandy! The baptism was sweet and my niece looked so pretty in her baptism dress. We our so proud of her decision to be baptised. I wanted to get a picture of her with Wyatt. They are the same age and Wyatt will be the next to be baptised.

After the baptism The kids and I went to go to Zeppes with Kevin's parents. Kevin's mom wanted to take all of the grandkids to get a gelata after their primary programs. It's rare we are up in Logan when its not on a Sunday so I thought we better do it. It was fun for the kids to get some ice cream with their grandparents and Aunt michelle.



Later that night was Kevin's work Christmas party for the kids. They love seeing Santa! Maisey loved seeing Santa and was so excited to see him. A far cry from last year when she was terrified of Santa. The kids loved their gifts. Maisey got a Dora castle, Wyatt a plane that flies really far ( we found out after church today), Tarrin a twenty questions electronic game, and Trey got a tool box with tools. They also had milk and cookies, Yum! It was really fun. Afterwards we went to a new Chinese restaurant and had some dinner. It was yummy. It was a busy day but a good one.

The Office


Seriously the funniest show ever! I can't get over tonight's episode. From trying to take a picture while everyone is jumping to Dwight and the snow ball fight. Love it!

Happy Birthday Kevin!

Today is Kevin's birthday and he is thirty three years old! We went to dinner last night and had some wonderful sushi! Hans and Heidi offered to watch the kids so we could have a nice dinner out. It was so nice and we were stuffed by the time we were done. This morning Maisey and I went and got Kevin some balloons and a cheesecake and took it to his work. I think he was happy that nobody knew it was his birthday but here walks in Maisey so proud of her balloons that she picked out for her dad. We even got the guy to blush so it was all worth it. So Happy Birthday to the guy who makes my life so worthwhile. Love ya!

Over the Weekend

This weekend was a busy one but fun. I finally got the Christmas tree up, I decided to put up our old one. We thought that this year we would get a real one but I decided to just use the one we had. I put it in the corner instead of in front of the window and it gave us some more room. The kids are getting so excited for Christmas but they are equally excited to see their cousins from California. We love having them and I am also excited to spend a week with them.

Friday was Kevin's Christmas party. It is always at the Timbermine. The food is great and it was funny this year because one of the guys that works in Honda I went to school with. It's such a small world.

I had two photo shoots over the weekend and I am done for the rest of December. So now it is time to relax and enjoy the Holidays! I found out this weekend that my SIL Kari is pregnant with her fifth child due in May. I am so excited for her. I was hoping to have someone in my family have a baby. It was about time that we all get to hold a little baby again.

Kev and I went to see a movie On Saturday and it was nice to get out and have a date. Only two more years and Tarrin will be able to babysit!

Maisey's new glasses


Maisey was so excited to wear her new PURPLE glasses! She picked them out all by herself. I just hope she will actually wear these ones better than her last ones that she broke. Trey keeps saying she looks like a teacher.
