9 months...

Evan is 9 months now and boy is he busy! He is crawling everywhere and getting into everything. Books are being pulled off the shelves, toys dumped out of baskets, little pieces of food off the kitchen floor are being put in his mouth, cords are being pulled, plugs are being played with, and bathroom doors must be shut. Love this crazy little man! (Just wish he would let me sleep!)

happy birthday?...

In the craziness of December, I somehow missed posting a Happy Birthday to John! He turned 29 (again!) Love you!

happy new year?...

Our laptop is back up and running! Thanks to me and some help from John (babysitting, taking over soldering when I was going crazy, and reading me the step by step instructions off the Internet). I took it apart, desoldered, soldered, desoldered, and soldered some more, put it back together and VOILA! We saved ourselves a bunch of money and boy did I luck out that I didn't break it more.

So to catch up - my parents came and visited around the new year. We had a New Years Eve get together at our house with them, my grandparents, and my sister's family. Lots of food and game playing. Super fun night!

broken computer and my new favorite cookie...

My computer is currently being fixed, so I do not have access to my pictures, or a way to get my pictures off my camera - so more blog posts will be coming in the next week or so! In the meantime - make yourself these cookies. They are the yummiest!

Note: it says to bake them exactly 8 min - I would add that they should just be a little crackled on top too, or they will be puffy and not done - for me that was about 8 min and 30 sec. The way they look in the picture, they are not quite done. They will end up flat and cracked on top after sitting a minute and they taste almost identical to the Archway brand Molasses Cookies. They are so easy - you do not have any excuse. Go make yourself some soft chewy deliciousness!!!
