GOOD DAY

I love days like today. After dinner the kids decided to clean the kitchen for us. We happily accepted their offer and decided to use our free time to take a much needed nap. We felt rested and rejuvenated.

My kids rock!

Mr. B.T.C. decided to repay each of them. He set up the massage table and gave each of them a massage.
He's such a good Daddy! He multiplied their age by two and that's how many minutes each of them got on the massage table. They loved it!

I, on the other hand was in the kitchen. I was in the mood to bake. I volunteered to make homemade bread for girls camp this year. Britley, Breeley and Dawson were right by my side helping me every step of the way. Each of them shaped their own loaf. They've become quite the little bread makers!
After the bread was completed we decided we were in the mood for some homemade chocolate chip cookies. They were so good!
My sister gave me the recipe. She's quite the baker and I'm never disappointed when she shares her recipes.

I'll be nice and share the recipe for those of you who might want to whip up some delicious chocolate chip cookies.

2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
2 cups (12-oz pkg.) chocolate chips
1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Bake 375 for 8 minutes.
That's it. Simple. Delish.
Enjoy!

Your Bread is the BEST! If only I had a bausch and a wheat grinder! And the cookies look yummy too.

JUST ME AND THE GIRLS

The boys (Wes and Dawson) are off to scout camp.  Mr. B.T.C and Nathan just left on a hunting trip to Utah.  That leaves me and the girls home alone.  Get ready to shop until you drop girls! This is gonna be a fun week! Late night movies, pizza, chocolate cake and popcorn.  Afternoon and late night swimming.  Shopping bags galore. New shades of lipstick.  Yep, that pretty much sums up the week.  Now hide the Nordi bags girls Mr. B.T.C is coming home:)

BACK TO SCHOOL 2012.

Woa, I'm already school shopping?!  How is it possible that the summer is gone and school is upon us already?   I may not be ready for the kids to go back to school quite yet (I want more vacation time ) but they are.   Now that the kids have met their teachers (we got lucky, everyone is thrilled with their teacher choice) and have reacquainted themselves with friends they are ready to begin a new school year.  Britley is a THIRD grader this year. She is extremely bright and ready to get to work. Breeley is a FIFTH grader.   I can't believe it!  She makes friends easily and is happy to meet her "new friends". Dawson is in 8th grade.   This will be his last year of Jr. High!  Oh boy- I'm sure he will make it a memorable year (His poor teachers).  He happens to be the "funny kid" in school.  We've gotten to know all his teachers a little more than we would have liked to. Wesley is a Sophomore in High Sch
