One Broken Tooth, Four New Windows, and Cookies!

Brian's Window Projects:


First of all, we would like to say thanks to Aunt Denise for letting Lindy take her dentist appointment today :) Going back 24 hours....Yesterday, Lindy chipped her front tooth and was very upset about it. (yes chipping a tooth is a very tragic event for a hormonal pregnant person) Aunt Denise had a dental appointment scheduled for this morning, so she let Lindy take it. Thanks bunches! Anyways, home repairs are coming along. Brian hopes to have all the windows completely finished in the next day or so. Anyways, Lindy's glucose screening was rescheduled for this coming Thursday at the OBGYN, so we will post again after that. Below you will find a recipe for some easy to make cookies! They are so yummy!

Love,

Lindy, Brian, Addisyn, and Bear


Butterscotch (the outside cat lol) he comes in for a nap every now and then:



Look at that ugly chipped tooth:


All fixed- a much better look!



Okay well that is enough gross dental pictures (teeth pics, especially ones from a cheap cell phone camera) are never pretty to look at.

We made these cookies and they are scrumptious! The recipe is very simple too:

Soft and Chewy Chocolate-Peanut Butter Cookies



Prep: 10 min
Total: 18 min

1 pkg. cake mix (vanilla or chocolate- the chocolate makes them extra good, but if you are pregnant you have to use the vanilla because you are not allowed to eat things that taste good lol)
4 oz. (1/2 of 8 oz. pkg) Cream Cheese, softened
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 egg

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place all ingredients in large bowl. Beat with electric mixer on low speed 2 min. Beat on medium speed an additional 2 min.

Shape into one inch balls. Place, two inches apart, on baking sheets. Flatten each ball, in criss cross patter, with tines of fork dipped in sugar.

Bake 7 or 8 minutes or until edges are set. Cool 2 minutes on baking sheets. Remove, let cool completely.

Makes 3 1/2 doz, or 21 servings, 2 cookies each (yeah right! Ours only made about 15 cookies total. Of course, our balls may have been slightly bigger- oh and some of the batter disappeared while a certain someone was mixing it)

Jazz it up: add 1/2 cup chopped peanuts to dough before shaping into balls and baking as directed. (we have not done this yet!)
