Cookie Dough Egg Rolls

Someone out there in the cooking world got smart and finally

figured out how to deep fry cookie dough, so this

weekend I gave it a shot. Yes, little 'ole me.

The cookie dough is wrapped in egg roll wrappers then fried in oil.

I rolled them in sugar and served with ice cream and

chocolate syrup.

Let me say the results are delicious!!!!!

Go ahead and try it, the possibilities are endless. :-0

News From the Field

This is Sarah

Elder Albert loved teacher her kids and says the

little girl is hilarious.

Elder Call and Elder Albert on Sarah's

baptismal day.

What did you say?

I can't believe these words came out of my girls' mouths..............

"I LOVE BAKING!!!"

They made homemade banana bread and brownies today.

This is not an inherited trait they got from their mother by any means.

For now, there will be no complaining on our part.

We will just enjoy every minute of it until they leave for college in the Fall. YUM!!!!!

Happy Birthday Courtney and Kelsey

This was their cake they are holding - I promise it's not fire!

"Hahahahahaha, I'm older than you"

The girls took this picture at exactly 2:20 on Feb 28th when Courtney was 18 and Kelsey was still 17.

I now can say Russ and I have survived raising twins. Although, it has been busy, and the last 18 years have been a blur I feel very blessed that these girls were sent to our family.

I'm one lucky mom!!!

Mom Space Face Lift

Out with the old

And in with the new.

For my birthday this year my wonderful friends(co-workers) got me the most fabulous gift ever. Nope it wasn't a purse! They set me up with all new file folders and all the trimmings for a new "Mom Space". That means I got to organize - my next favorite thing to do besides shopping. Thanks friends!!!

I was able to spend a week with my sisters and parents camping in Quartzsite, Arizona. The town has a population of 4,000 people normally but during the time we come in Jan it's swarming with RV's for the Gem and Mineral Show, which is like a swapmeet. There are purses, silver jewlery, antiques, statues and beads. My sisters and I go with no children but bring our spoiled doggies. Daily we dress them up and go shopping, as you can see Roxy thoroughly enjoys this. In the evening back at the motorhome we all play card games with my parents friends that have been camping with them for over 30 years, make jewlery and sit by the campfire. This is a wonderful get away that I look forward to every year.
