Yum!

I saw these on my sister in law's relief society blog and thought they looked fun so I made them this afternoon and they were so yummy!! Here's their website for great meal ideas: reliefsocietycookers.blogspot.com

Here's what you do:Frost the cookie with the vanilla frosting, and with the black icing make a dot in the middle and circles around it (like a target) with each circle getting bigger and going around the next. Then take a toothpic, start in the center dot and drag it out to the edge of the cookie, repeat all around the cookie until it looks like the picture above.

I couldn't find black icing so I improvised with green and orange. Happy baking!

Enjoying beautiful weather with my beautiful boy

Michael helping Stetson down the slide a little over a year ago
When we moved here a little over a year ago, we had to help Stetson down the slide because he was still too little to do it himself. Its so crazy and fun to watch him do it all by himself now. He even goes down the big "twirly" slide too by himself. The weather has been beautiful the last couple days, so Stetson and I have been spending a lot of time at the park. He loves the swing, its always the first thing we do and he could probably just sit there and let me push him all day. Then he loves to go down the "lide" (slide) too of course. Its fo fun to watch him play and know he's loving every minute of the fresh air and room to run and do fun things.

I think I speak for all moms when I say there's nothing better than watching your kids play knowing just by their faces that they are so happy!

Halloween happenings

Well today we started the Halloween festivities. Since we didn't do anything cool like take Stetson to a pumpkin patch or hayride or anything, we had chili & cinnamon rolls and carved pumpkins (well Charlene & I did) with Matthew, Charlene and my brother Michael and his wife Rachel. Michael has meetings in Laramie this week for the school board so he brought Rachel and they're on a little "vacation." :) Rachel taught me how to make her cinnamon rolls today and they were really good, so I'm excited that I can do that now if I ever want cinnamon rolls.

We thought Stetson would be a little more into the whole pumpkin carving this year but not so much. Well here's some pictures of our evening.
Michael & Rachel



Steston really wanted no part in any of the "festivities" He thinks pumpkin carving is gross. This is as close as he ever got to the pumpkins
