Sugar Cookie Recipe

Today at Preschool we decorated sugar cookies. I made my normal recipe but instead of White flour I used Whole Wheat. I wasn't sure if they would be any good. To my surprise they were a big hit. The mom's also like them and asked for the recipe. So instead of sending out a mass e-mail I am posting it.

Old-Fashioned Sugar Cookies
2c. sugar 5 1/2 tsp baking powder
1c. margarine 2tsp vanilla
4 eggs 4to5 c. Flour (white or wheat)
1 tsp salt
Cream together sugar and margarine. Beat in eggs until light. Add remaining ingredients. Bake in ungreased cookie sheet at 350 for 8 to 10 minutes.
You may roll out dough and cut into shapes, or drop onto cookies sheet and mash down. Sprinkle with sugar before you bake or frost if desired.

Cup cake!

Jordan and I went to pick Kealyn up from a Birthday Party and they had extra cup cakes so my friend sent us home with 3 (one for each of the kids). Jordan couldn't wait until we got home to eat it. Yum Yum!



Lake Kerestes


It rained and rained and rained. This is unusual for Yuma.

Caught Red Headed I mean Red Handed!

So I was in the Kitchen cooking and Jordan was being really quite. I turned around and there she was...


Coloring...Their favorite past time

The other night Kaelyn was laying on the floor coloring when Jordan decided to join her. Not too long after that this is what I found. They were too cute not to take a picture!

Washing The Car is Fun To Do!

In an earlier post I mentioned that Parley came over and helped in the yard. Well he also helped wash the car. Since Parley was doing it Kaelyn and Cohen joined in. Jordan felt left out so Lance brought her out to help as well.

Parley, Jordan, Kaelyn and Cohen all drying the car.

Jordan loved playing in the soap!

Jordan Being a Big Help

Snug as bugs

In Jordan's room we have a toddler bed set up. None of the kids actually sleep in it. The other night we knelt by it to have family prayer. After prayer the kids decided it would be funny if they all climbed in it. It was quite comical too see the 3 of them trying to all fit on this little bed.
