What have we been up to?
WELL.. a lot.. thanks for asking!

-Tony has a month off of school so we're enjoying FAMILY TIME! (much needed!)
-Ezra is potty training and doing SO SO SO well! I guess "they're" right when they say you'll know when they're ready. He's in big boy underwear 90% of the time! You KNOW I'm happy about this!!
-Summer is here!!!! We're taking trips to the park, going for walks, chasing fireflies, turning on the AC, and running around with only a shirt and underwear (... Ezra that is.)
-In other Ezra news he started T-BALL on Friday! Super cute.


He runs around my house like a crazy man..
but didn't see any urgency to get to the bases. :)

Go Ezra!
(In case you were curious.. our family should have won the award for loudest cheering group.)

WooHoo!

What a cutie! And please notice that my son is #1. That's right people, that's right.

Friday night our church had a worship benefit to help victims of the flood. I had to miss it because our kids were sick. Bummer. Anyway as part of the fund raiser they did a bake sale as well. Yumm.. I knew I could help out with this!! Any excuse to measure, splash, crack, sprinkle, stir, drizzle, smell, taste and present! I would love to be a baker! I seriously want to take a cake decorating class so i can make something amazing like the cake in my previous post. But anyway.. Where was I? Oh.. So once again I made chocolate covered pretzel rods. I must admit it wasn't as much fun this time around making them without Jenna and Ali, but they sure turned out cute. The second thing I made were my famous chocolate chip cookies. I take all the credit but really the recipe comes from a good friend from high schools mom. You should try them for yourself..they are the best chocolate chip cookies i have ever had!!!

To make A.T's Famous Chocolate Chip Cookies here's whatcha do:

In a BIG bowl combine-

1 1/2 sticks of butter- melted for 20 seconds

3/4 cup sugar

3/4 cup brown sugar

1T vanilla

2T milk

1 egg

In another bowl combine-

2 3/4 cup flour

1t baking soda

1t salt

Slowly add the dry mixture to the big bowl until completely mixed. After mixed, fold 1 bag of chocolate chips in. Now this is my FAVORITE part people, the recipe says "Bake at 375 for 8 1/2 minutes." Not quiet sure what that half of a minute does. But it must be crucial because these cookies are abslutely de-lish!!

This month we celebrate the birthday of two of my most FAVORITE female family members!!

OK OK OK.. my two VERY VERY FAVORITES!!!!!

Happy Birthday to you
