COOKIES.. Calling all my cookie monsters!

Well it's that time again. I have been busy in the kitchen making cookies. It seems like I have so much more to do this year, or maybe it's because Christmas seems to be coming so soon! I have cookies for work, cookies to mail, cookies for Christmas day, not to mention the pies for Christmas day. I love that everyone loves my cookies/baking. But every year I feel the pressure to get them all done. I always seem to be behind no matter how early I start. I wouldn't normally feel this frantic but my brother graduates from College this weekend. We have the graduation on Saturday and the party on Sunday so no real time for baking this weekend. I miss two whole days of baking.

So for all those who get them in the mail... soon , very soon, you will have goodies in the mail. Merry Christmas!!!!

Only for the Dog lover!

Pancakes, Pizza, and Cake

Logan turned 17 today. We started the day with pancakes, eggs, and clementines. Ryan and I cleaned house while Logan hung out with his friends. We met Casey and company for dinner with Logan's special lady friend. We went to a Pizza buffet, Logan's choice of course. My stomach still isn't right! Then we had cake. ENJOY!

Fenced In

Ryan has been hard at work in the yard. From the previous posting you saw pictures of what our backyard looked like before... Well look at it now. We have a nice new fence that my Dad and Brother put up and that amazing flower bed is Ryan's wonderful vision! If you look closely at the picture of the grass/dirt... you will see our rain barrel. Trying to go green, the plan is to hook that up to our drain and collect the rain water to water the yard come spring. Just a few more things to do come spring.

Zombies, Witches, and Boobs

Well I was the witch, Logan was a girl, check out the lipstick and boobs. Tyler was a dead catholic school girl. Ryan was out of town so my sister took the pictures. She isn't very good at letting you know when she is taking the picture. 

PUMPKINS

We had a spider and a web, your standard jack-o-lantern, a skull, and a dinosaur with a bone.

We had some really good pumpkin seeds :
