We had a wonderful Christmas!!!!

We went to K-mart to find a tree and found these guys and I had my camera in my purse. It's not the best quality, but we loved it. 

Christmas eve, with my tree, presents, office supplies and drum

With the lights on 

last years Christmas tree which has (and probably will never) come down

Chris playing his Disney piano book

another one of the tree because (even though I said we didn't need it) I  love it!!

My brother Scott gave me yearn for Christmas. Out of that 218 yards I have created this  

it is hallow and...

 a neck warmer

 a Ninja mask

whoville/ clown hat

or easy hair cover

My loot

His present

I made it say 24 because that is how old he is 

It's been five years today...Love you Mom ^_^

wherever we are is simply in the middle

 I have been thinking a lot about life, about endings and beginnings and all of that.I was talking to my sister about it and she pointed out that we are in the middle. I was thinking about that more when I found  a talk by President Uchtdorf about always being in the middle.  It is easy to get lazy when we are in the middle. It isn't something we celebrate or think of things we do for like endings and beginnings. This picture is an ending and a beginning and a middle. The semester had just ended and I was taking my friend Libby to the airport so she could go home. The 7 week break was beginning which would be the start of my married life without school. I took this picture at 6 in the morning  I was in the middle of my trip home in the middle of my lane and I am in the middle of my life. I have been waiting too long for an end or a beginning of something. I can take care of me and work on doing things in the middle. I don't need to worry what others are doing because they have a choice. I can only see what is best for me so that is what I am going to focus on. Me in the middle of my life.

Why peanut butter cookies can't wait

must make it flat

Then cut cookie out

Chris being himself while I work on the cookies. 

but it works pretty well

but it is tough work trying to keep the peanut piratical to stick together

But I  am doing the work

but it takes a long time

And near the end they don't really work with my cookie cutter cup

but they will be yummy

or would  have been if we remembered them, that is two different cookies I broke in half to see the middle of them

sad day :(

I have been a little miserable lately because I have been wanting cookies which I haven't gotten. Chris made me  peanut butter dough, but then we didn't want to make anymore cookies that night so we waited to the next day. This made it REALLY dry and hard to work with so I had to use a cup, but then neither of us heard the timer go off. So we didn't notice it until while cooking dinner on the stove and smoke came out of the oven. Yeah they are black ALL the way through.

I feel like the yellow one

it was just cool looking

I made rice pudding and I put too much water in the second pan

While I was freaking out he sucked out the extra water

and put it into the cup

What I put on my notes when I was sick, it is death on a sick with a snail on it.
