Yum!

I've tried many Chocolate Chip Cookie recipes in my day, and I think I have finally found the very best. I made these Big, Fat, Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies for the first time yesterday and they are to die for. Just thought I'd share.

I love to see the temple

Book of Mormon Stories

What's new...

Over the weekend we went to Seattle and we had a great time. It was so nice to have a change of scenery and a break from our normal routine. Sadly, my camera battery died soon after we got over there, so no pictures. Bummer. I got some pictures from google instead so you can get an idea of what we did.

On Thursday we spent the night at the Great Wolf Lodge near Olympia. It's a nice getaway in the wintertime.

Then we spent the rest of the weekend at Nate's parents' house in Everett. Saturday was nice and sunny, so we got to take a ferry from Seattle to Bremerton. It was beautiful. I miss Western Washington so much.

My sister-in-law e-mailed some pictures that she took, so here is proof of our trip.

In other news- I'm really baby hungry. I seriously cannot wait to have another one. I just hope it doesn't take a long time for it to happen this time around. I guess I need to get Nate on board first. Any suggestions? Ha ha.

So proud!

Paige can write her name all by herself! I never knew how exciting these little milestones would be.

Cupcake Liner Wreath

Look what I made!

It started out like this, with 3 little butterflies...
Then I added these flowers to it...

Then I added a few more flowers...

I'm considering taking some of the flowers off. I think I over-did it. I don't know. It's cool though, huh?

Here is the tutorial if you would like to make it. It's really quick, easy, and cheap. You can find the foam wreath at the dollar store. They are pricey at craft stores.

This is the wreath that the original craft lady made for Valentine's Day:

You could do a Christmas one, Halloween, Easter, a girly one for your daughter's room, etc. There are so many cute cupcake liners out there these days- the possibilities are endless.

Chop chop

I did it! And I like it! It's so quick and easy to style it in the morning. That's always nice.

NOTE: I did not cut it myself this time. I went to a salon. I think I will only cut my own hair when it's long. It's too hard to do short haircuts on yourself.
