Hello Everybody! So a few weeks ago we got bored one night and decided to paint our house. I was getting sick of the old ugly blue color and wanted something new! I love how it turned out the red door being my favorite part of it all! Im so happy the way it turned out! so here is a BEFORE

AND AFTERRRR
Aww i love it! and we are even starting to grow some grass in our little front yard!

WELLLLL...

we just had another fun weekend in Denver.. we went with cassidys family and stayed a few nights. We went to elitch gardens which is like a 6 flags place it was sooo much fun! i felt like a 12 year old i was so excited the night before we went. we played in the hat shop and laughed alot. there were some crazy hats! my favorite being cassidy is these black dreds! haha it was hillarious.

But my favorite part was meeting the sea lions!!!! I got to touch them and they gave me kisses! it was so cool! I loved seeing them do tricks i still dont understand how they do all the cool things they know how to do.. balancing a ball on your nose would be so hard!

That is Bruce^^^^ he was HUGE! check out those teeth. poor guy had to be netted off during picture time because he could really hurt someone..

I loved seeing them jump up! and their little toes crack me up they are so cute!

Here we are in the fat short mirror. we look like the roloffs on little people big world. im so glad im not a midget.

Here we are in the car, you tell cassidy to smile and this is what you get :)

Our trip to the ZOO and other places..

We went to Denver for a weekend with the all the family. It was alot of fun we went car shopping, to the zoo, the boys went to the lakers game, and we went to the temple. It was alot of fun to get away and be in a big city! The zoo was my favorite part except for krispy kreme. oh and I fed a duck a french fry.

The Lion was so huge and so cool to see!

He almost jumps like a polar bear.

the elephants were boring they didnt even move

Cassidy and his dad went to the lakers nuggets game and got to see kobe.

my favorite part about Denver is krispy kreme.. i only ate 3 doughnuts. they were delicious.

We went on a night ride the other night with moragn, it was a full moon and was alot of fun.

Here is our little house. we are finally all settled in and loving it! it is perfect for us :) and the picture above is our lovely across the street neighbors.. we have such a great view..

I also made some of the best cookies in the world last week.. give em a try..

Magic in the middle cookies

these cookies taste just like a reeses cup! they are so rich and delish!

dough:

1 1/2 cups flour

1/2 cup cocoa powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 stick butter softened

1/4 cup creamy peanut butter

1 large egg

1 large egg yoke

filling:

3/4 cup creamy peanut butter

3/4 cup powdered sugar

Preheat oven to 375. to make the dough: whisk together the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt. in another bowl, beat together the sugars, butter, and peanut butter until it is light and fluffy. add the vanilla and the eggs then stir in all the dry ingredients mixing very well

To make the filling: in a small bowl, mix together the peanut butter and powdered sugar until it is smooth. with floured hands make into one inch balls.. about the size of a marble

to shape the cookies: make the dough into balls about the size of walnuts. make a indention in the middle of the cookie with your thumb. put a peanut butter ball in the middle of the dough ball and bring the dough up and over the filling, pressing the edges together over the center. roll the dough in the palm of your hands and smooth it out. then roll that ball in sugar and coat it.. then place the ball on a baking sheet and smash it with the bottom of a cup to make the cookie perfectly round and about 1/2 inch thick.

Bake for 7 to 9 minutes or until you smell chocolate. remove them and let cool.. ( i only had to bake these for 6 minutes but we are at a higher altitude) ENJOY!!! these are amazing
