In my opinion... I give better haircuts... and quite honestly, I am a little traumatized by what daddy has done... so... either make me feel better... or, well... make me feel better!

BEFORE...

AFTER....

I agree... he is, admittedly, one of the cutest boys on the planet... regardless of what his hair looks like!

Cookies

So, I have held onto to fond memories, for a big part of my life, of making no-bake cookies with my Aunt Carrie. I spent a lot of my time with their family when I was growing up... they had 2 children (at the time) younger than me so I felt most helpful. Anyway... maybe I didn't actually spend a lot of time with them... but I think I did, and the few childhood memories that come to me, without a reminder, is of being with Carrie. So the cookies I have the fond memory of are the oatmeal chocolate no-bake cookies. I have made them dozens of times in my life, but I am not sure if I ever made my Aunts recipe (not sure why... just one of those things I guess). Well, yeterday I got the recipe from my cousin Jamie, and had to make them right away. Kailey and Canyon both LOVE helping me in the kitchen. Kailey was at preschool, and Canyon was eager to be my little helper....

PEANUT BUTTER!

The recipe calls for 1 cup of peanut butter. I measured it out, and mixed it in, and Canyon did his best to figure out how to get the remaining peanut butter out of the measuring cup! (What you cant see is that it is a perfect circle from his nose to the bottom of his chin!)

Just one of those things tooo cute not to share!

By the way... the cookies turned out awesome!!!

On the schedule

I decided to post this here because I wanted to be sure I didn't forget anyone...

I am finally on the schedule to get my kidney stones taken care of... can you believe it!?!?!? I mean afterall, it's only been 6 months! The official date is the 11th of April for a consult and the 14th of April for the "procedure". The 14th, however, is the SAME DAY we are putting Ashlyn on an airplane to Spokane... ALONE!! I'm not sure how I feel about that really. The good thing is we (probably not I since it will be in the middle of the day and I will probably be having a"procedure") get to take her all the way to the gate, and the moment she steps off the plane one of my parents will be there to greet her. It'll be fine... it'll be fine... it'll be fine.....

Also, CJ has been fine. He still has some pains in his chest but all the tests have been done and it seems that he does, in fact, have anxiety issues. But honestly, if I had a migraine headache everyday I would probably have anxiety issues as well.
