Kayden is One!

Dara and Brandon had Kayden's birthday party on his birthday. (May 22). He was not a happy boy during the party. As you can see in the pictures. He didn't want his cake and he didn't want to open up his gifts. It wasn't until after almost everyone left that he started playing with his new toys and being happy.

From my SS Debra H. Thank you so much you were so good to me. I love everything you sent.

Work, work, work that is all I have done. I did get a half day off and made some cookies and we took a half day off for Memorial Day. Somehow I don't know how, but I got today off and I did a mad dash through the house and cleaned started laundry, went and had my hair and nails done, then to the pick of some food for the kids to eat at home. Because I am not there to cook, they write on the list what they would like or need from the store. On the list Dylan wrote, "air freshener". Dara wrote below it "clean your room and it won't smell". Then Dylan wrote "it's for bad farts and smelly feet". I had a good laugh while shopping.
We bought a cargo van for the company. That is what I wanted to get, but Bob kept saying he wanted a truck. Looks like I won!!! And to top it off, he keeps saying over and over again, I am so glad I got the van and not the truck. The van we can put all our equipment and chemicals in it and extra parts. And we can tow the bobcat with it.

Chocolate Chip Cookies
1 1/2 C butter, 1 1/2 C Crisco, 3 C sugar-Mix together until creamy. 1 1/2 C brown sugar, 3 tsp vanilla, 1 1/2 tsp water-Mix. 6 eggs-Mix. 3 tsp salt, 3 tsp soda-Mix. Add a little flour at a time-7 1/2 C flour. Add chocolate chips. Bake at 375 for about 8-10 min. Still kind of gooey in the middle when you take them out of the oven.
This makes a lot of cookies, so I bag some up and give them to the kids that come over to visit my kids or to the delivery people, mail, FedEx, ups, etc.
I probably won't have time to post again until after the ILCS Retreat.
