Summer of 2011 will have many changes for our small family. Adam pursued a new job that is moving our family to McKinney, Texas. Starting June 1, he is working for Traxxas. And if a move isn't a big enough change already, we are expecting a baby girl due July 19. Alexa already loves "baby sister"! We feel strongly that God has been clear on His plans for us and that makes us so excited for what is in our near future. As we are (sadly) leaving many amazing, amazing friends and family in Kansas, we felt it was important to start the blog back up so we can keep everyone in the loop. Thank you all for your never ending support on this adventure for our growing family!

Baking Cookies

Two posts in one day!!  :)

Alexa and I decided today would be a fun day to make cookies.  At last it is only in the 50's outside (for the high) and it's finally feeling like holiday season.  Plus, Alexa doesn't have school this week so I better figure out some way to entertain her.  Enjoy the pictures (and I will say, it sure is hard to get a lot of pictures with dirty hands from baking and trying to keep Alexa from eating the cookie dough with raw egg in it).

All read to bake in her apron and with her spoon.


 We took the easy way today and just used a ready mix that we just added egg and butter.  Alexa is dumping it in the bowl.
 Mixing...
 Helping to spread flour on the table.
 Having fun making a mess.
 So much fun!
 Oooh and sprinkles!!
 Lots of sprinkles!
 Yummmm!
 Yes, this girly likes sweets!
 

And this is, by far, by favorite picture of the day!!  Alexa constantly refuses to look at the camera and smile.    I told her that if she wanted another bite of cookie, that she needed to smile at the camera first.  She put her hands under her chin to pose!!!!  
Smarty pants!!
Nora had a big job to do while we baked.  (Yes, it was PJ day here)
