A Little Picture Happy and Some Delicious Baking!

Last Saturday, I decided it was time to do some baking. And who better to help me than the best daughter ever? Rebecca sure enjoyed helping me make some delicious chocolate chip cookies (which are WAY better than my brother, Kevin's!!) Side note: we had a family dinner on Sunday and I was assigned to bring the dessert so I made cookies and brownie goody bars. Well Kevin decided he was making cookies too. Except his idea of making cookies consists of buying the "mini" pre packaged kind that all you have to do is take out of the package and put on a cookie sheet. He was so happy that it only took 10 minutes to make 40 cookies. Well mine were truly homeade and they ROCKED! Anyway, Rebecca helped me make both my cookies and my brownie goody bars.

Here is Rebecca before we started. She was so excited! (she looks like she is playing her air guitar)


Here is what my cookies looked like before we baked them:

And here is what they looked like after:
Are you getting hungry yet??
I also decided to make "Brownie Goody Bars" you can get the recipe from bettycrocker.com It starts with making a normal pan of brownies: (excuse my old pan, it has seen a lot of brownies!):
Then you add some vanilla frosting and rice krispies mixed with chocolate chips and peanut butter:And then when you eat them they look YUMMY like this:
Not the best picture, but these are REALLY good. I would recommend them to anyone! Not too hard to make just takes a while because you have to let the brownies completely cool before adding all the toppings.

And I just have to post this picture of Rebecca. She put the jacket on herself. She loves her big girl underpants and thinks it is so much fun to wear them. She told me she got her self all dressed and she was ready to go. Hmm, she forgot PANTS!!
And this last picture I took of her on Sunday before our family dinner. I love fixing her hair and wish I knew more ways to do it! Anyone with girls have any ideas?? Let me know!
Well that was the most pictures I have ever put on one post! I hope you all had a great weekend!

I only have boys, sorry. I wish I had a girl I could do her hair, put head bands on, paint her nails, etc. Have fun!

Those cookies did look good! We are going to come to the meeting tonight. I think Preston needs ALOT of positive encouragement. He's really sick of his job and money struggles have got him a little depressed so.... Maybe him and Richard can buddy up and help eachother win. Oh and have you tried to french braid her hair? There's a klutz brand book you can get with all sorts of ways to braid hair. I used to have it and it was alot of fun.
