Anyone want a Chocolate Chip cookie?

Today I decided I would be a good wife and mother and have chocolate chip cookies for Nathan and Brandon when they get home and for when Travis gets home from work. I usually don't make cookies lately because I end up eating them all! But I have only made a few cookies right now, and the dough is in the fridge for when I feel like making more. Now I couldn't resist taking pictures of Kimball eating the spoon and eating. He wasn't too happy when I took away the spoon and washed his face, but became very happy when I gave him a cooked cookie. He was in seventh heaven with his milk and cookie.

We had a lot of fun. I turned on the radio while making the cookies and started dancing in the kitchen, Kimball got a great kick out of that. I normally don't dance well so in the privacy of my own kitchen and have Kimball watch, naturally I am wonderful in every aspect, so Kimball I am proud to say loves my dancing!

Wordless Wednesday

My family seems to be doing a Wordless Wednesday, so I figured that this is something that I might try.

New Scriptures

I decided a few weeks ago that I was going to get a new pair of scriptures to mark and give me a way to study better. When we were at the distrabution Center I decided to get the boys each their own hard back Book of Mormon. We had their names printed on them and man were they excited! They thought they were some hot stuff with them, and they are. We have been reading 2 verses each night out of our new scriptures. Brandon is learning to read and so he reads his verse while Daddy has Nathan repeat after him. Their new scriptures help them get more excited to read every night! My little boys are growing up!

Martin Luther King Day

On Martin Luther King day, we had a play date at Carls Jr. because when you have all of your kids home on a school day you need things to do. We go there at 11am and stayed until 1:30pm! When we get talking, we don't stop. The kids had a great time too. My friend Annie and her 3 kids came as well as my friend Lindsay came with her 3 kids.

It is nice to have friends that you can call and text to say, hey I need to get out of the house lets meet some where or lets have a play date today. We also know what each other are going through since we all have autistic children. We have all gathered the same type of humor when it comes to our children. After telling my sister that I was having a girls night out, she told me that I have a LOT of those nights out. It is nice to have friends to go out with and also to have a supportive husband that lets me go out. I am very lucky.

Daphne and Kimball eating, Kimball tried to eat her fries, but Daphne set him straight and he got the picture that she doesn't share her fries.

New Camera

I got a new camera from club live the other day (you play games to win prizes) and so before school while we were waiting for the buses to come, I took it out to test it and play with it. If anyone knows me, I go through a lot of cameras. In the 7 years that Travis and I have been married, I believe we have had at least 5 cameras. So I figure an extra camera is worth having around.

I just have to say that just sitting and taking different shots of the boys playing in the morning is fun to do. They are so cute and run and you can see that they are truly happy. If we all could have their free spirit, I think this world would be a better place.
