Krazy Kid

Jordan is crawling now and into everything! I can't keep up with him so now when I have to get something done I have to set up his porta-crib and put a ton of toys in there and then I can get things done. He hates it and begs to get out and I feel bad so I always end up getting him out. Here are some pictures of him begging.

Girls Night Out!

Saturday while the men were at the priesthood session all of us girls got together at Caitlins house. We first went to Roberts where they gave prizes away and everything was 50% off. It was so much fun to see all the cute decorations they had for fall and halloween. We got a craft and then went back to Caitlins to put it together, let the kids play and eat cookies and hot chocolate. I made a center piece for my kitchen table and Caitlin got a halloween house to make with candy. Here are some pictures of the kids playing and my center piece on my table.

Sugar Cookies:)

I have had a lot of requests for my sugar cookie recipe so I thought I would just post it on our blog. They are quite delicious so give them a try.

Mix:
4 c. sifted flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt

Cut into flour mixture:
1 c. butter

In seperate bowl beat:
2 eggs

Then add to the eggs:
1 1/4 c. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 c. milk

*The dough will be sticky I just add a little extra flour until I can roll it into a ball just be careful not to add to much flour or they will be dry.

Mix liguid with flour mixture. Chill overnight in a sealed container. (I use a ziploc bag)Bake at 375 degrees for only 10 minutes.

Sleepy Heads

Today after all my daycare left Nate and Jordan were so exhausted they both fell asleep on our bed. It was so precious I just had to take a picture of it. They are the two cutest boys I know.

OOey GOOey

One week Jordan could just not go to the bathroom. He was miserable to say the least. He was waking up in the night and crying trying to push it out. I knew we had to do something but I was at a loss at what to do. I finally got an idea of feeding him some prunes which he does actually like. The only problem that I had was he will NOT let me feed him anything he always has to do it himself. Well I tried all morning to shove those prunes down him but he absolutely refused. I got so frustrated with the whole situation and dumped the whole bottle of prunes on his tray and let him go at it. Well these pictures are living proof of the result of my desperation. I have never seen such a mess in my life but I'm sure there is more to come. Oh and he did finally go to the bathroom shortly after eating those messy prunes ha ha go figure.

Hikers Heaven

Nate, Jason and Laine went to go help Josh get his elk out of the mountains. I guess they hiked forever and never did find it. I'm pretty sure that they were absolutley exhausted when they were done with it all. It really sucks that Josh didn't end up killing anything with that once in a lifetime tag but I know with all the hunting he does he is bound to get one sometime. Here are some pictures of our mountain men.

8 Months & Crawling

Jordan turned 8 months yesterday! I seriously can't believe it, he is such a cute little kid. He is crawling now all over the place and getting into everything. I have had to put some of my cute decorations up and away because I can't keep up with him. He has such a cute personality and is a very determined little boy. He never gives up on things and works on it until he figures it out. He loves the doors on our entertainment center and is always opening and shutting them. (I hope he grows out of that phase soon). I took a video of him crawling down the hall I hope you all enjoy :)
