Cookie Baking

 Baking cookies with friends = lots of laughter, fun and messes! My family and another family got together and made a lot of cookies the other day. We made 4 different kinds, but with six kids and two adults it went really fast.

 

 

 The younger kids got bored after about 3 batches and decided to go play in the snow....with a goat, to pull their sled! They said he didn't like it, and the kids ended up pulling each other.

Lots of cookies!

Merry Christmas!!

200 plus....

...pies. Yes, 200+ pies. In November the 4-H Teen Club Chord and I are members of, sold and baked pies for a fundraiser.

You can see the boxes stacked up against the wall behind Chord, there were LOTS of them!

 Chord was the only boy with 10 other girls =o) so he kinda kept to himself and folded all the boxes... 

...while I made pies =o) We had 4 different kinds; chocolate, lemon (this one was the yummiest), pecan and sweet potato (yuck) :D I made pecan pies with two other girls. I had the pecan pie recipe memorized after about 15 pies, haha. It was fun, but it took us about 10 hours total, and by the end of the day we were all sick of seeing pies!

Christmas Baking...

....has begun! Chord, Calder, Teague, Cadence and I all made gingerbread houses yesterday! It was really fun and messy :D

waiting for icing to harden...

CANDY! :D

 mmm...this is mine, the shingles on the roof are chocolate covered pretzels!! YUM!

 Lol, we made a BIG mess, there was icing COVERING the floor, and I even found some in my apron pocket :D

Haha, this picture I took from Grandma because it was better quality then the ones from our camera :D

I am still alive....

So...I haven't posted for like 4 months now....Wow! crazy....but I really need to and I have a bazillion things to post on but I don't know what to do first...so it might take me a little bit to figure it out...I have pictures of the schooling show from May and pictures of the fair....and pictures from when our family was here...so it's just trying to figure out which one to do first, but I just wanted to say something so nobody thinks I'm dead=o)

Here's a cute picture I took of Butter a few months ago, he let me put the bandanna on and then I set the hat on his head and he sat there long enough for me to grab the camera and take one picture and then he moved=o) But I thought it was very cute...

These I took one night when dad wasn't home and Chord had to grill the hotdogs for us...I thought he looked very...ummm...grownup out there grilling us dinner=o)

Well there's a few pictures for now and I'll try and get some more on soon.

~Kluane~

I meant to post these sooner...like...WAY sooner...=o)

Ok...I know I should have posted these like ummm...4 months ago....but I didn't so you're getting them now....I've been working on it on and of for 4 months so I'm tired of messing with it and the pictures won't do what I want them to do....so you'll just have to take them out of order...

That's the closest we got to the kiss.....but Chord got a better one farther down...

Happily Ever After....

Behold!!! the Groom Cometh!!!
