Cookie Time

I was working out this morning and was joined by Dylan at 5:45am.  He was whining and immediately asked me what I did with his cookies.   I said to him while puffing through my final sets of leg lifts, “We don’t have any cookies, what are you talking about?”  His response was, “Yes, we do have cookies.  I saw you put them in the oven!”  He must have been having a dream about cookies.  Finally we got on the same page and he demanded that since we didn’t have cookies, that we were going to make some later on.  I told him that we didn’t have chocolate chips and he said, “Thats okay!  We’re making peanut butter kiss cookies!”  Ohhhhhkay.  So here are some pics of him making his cookies. 

See the spelling lesson laying there next to the cookie sheet?  Eric came down and wrote that out with a permanent marker, which bled through onto the countertop.  Grrrrrrrrrrrr

He was happy to have his own job in the production line!

It smelled like Christmas time in here!  Christmas in June!

And here is my latest treat obsession.  I got these from Glo Bakery and they are AMAZING!  Chewy, soft and delicious!  And the best part – I had one at 6:15 am and wasn’t hungry again until 11am.  That is UNHEARD of for me since I normally eat every 2 hours or so.  These rock!      

Thats all for now!  Thanks to my friend Krystyn, I found a new blog platform dealibob and it is MUCH easier to use than stupid old Blogger!  Thank you Krystyn!!!!  So hopefully this means you’ll hear more from me.

How cute are these?!

I'll take advantage of the lame-ness of blogspot and post only a couple pics in this post. We drove home from Aberdeen today (its a glorious 4.5 hour drive) and I have always wanted to stop at this berry farm that we pass. Its called Holmes City Berries. Anywho, we decided to stop today and I'm so glad we did! We got the world's cutest fresh, organic strawberries! I just want to eat them all! Ha! And I plan to! The possibilities are endless here people. I'm wishing it was tomorrow morning cuz I'm having overnight oats with strawberries! OH yeah! Ok, back to the berry farm. I'm bummed b/c when we got there, they asked us if we wanted to pick our own or just buy some that they had already picked. We decided to just buy some and be on our way so we could get back home. So we buy our little box of strawberries and head to the car. Well, Brutus (Avery), had a different plan for us and just wandered off towards the fields. So we thought we'd let her wander for a bit. Then a tractor pulled up and you know Dylan can't resist a good tractor ride! So I figured that since we were heading down there anyway, that we should pick some! So we grabbed a bucket and hopped a ride on the tractor. The reason I was bummed? I didn't have my camera with! It was an impromtu berry picking! How was I to know we were gonna pick berries?!? So we got to the field and headed out to our own special row to pick from. D was my assistant and Avery did more wandering with Eric. I think Dylan ate more than he picked. By the time I had filled the bucket up (which took awhile I think!) he was just covered in strawberry juice. His lips were strawberry pink! He kept yelling out stuff while he was picking and amusing the other pickers. "Oh MOM! This one is reeeealllly juicy!" "Oh! This one's not ready!" "Oooooh, here's a good one!" He thought it was really fun though and already wants to stop there again sometime. I do too - these strawberries are AMAZING! Even Eric ate some - that says a lot. ; )

Aberdeen Part 6 - Kelli's Wedding

Well, here are a few pics from Kelli Kirkpatrick and Ben Fischer's wedding. I would have uploaded more - but I'm losing my patience with Blogspot this evening.

Well, here is Mrs Karrie Covington (formerly Miss Karrie Kirkpatrick) and myself looking all spiffy for Kelli's wedding. Well, Karrie looks fab. I look weird. Its become clear to me that perhaps I should let my face get some sun to catch up to the color of my arms. I look like Casper the friendly ghost!

Here I am with the lovely bride, Mrs Kelli Fischer!

The happy couple!

Aberdeen Part 5

Well, apparently I can only upload 4 pics at a time. So you can see where this is going, right? We're gonna be here for awhile.

My mom thought I should pose by Miss Muffett since I despise spiders.

Here's the back of our heads. I think Avery and I have the same ears!

Enjoying his ride on the world's squeakiest train! I pity the poor girl who had to drive it all day long!

Aberdeen Part 4

I believe this is one of the munchkin houses. Perfect size for our munchkins.

Couldn't resist posting this one! : )

Well, they are up there on the right. Only ones on the ride. Can't miss em. ; )
