Crap Cookies

The other day Tay and I wanted to make cookies to give to our primary kids. I wanted to make these cookies that my step mom always makes (that everyone seems to enjoy). I call my Dad to ask for the recipe.(There are two things you need to know about my Dad to understand this story: 1. He HATES processed food 2. He is a health freak.) Well my Dad will not give me the recipe over the phone, he said it would be easier to email it to me. So I just received this email:

*caution* Don't read if you get offended of swearing. I don't want to really edit this..better if its original.

"Puking Chocolate Shit Cookie Recipe(gag me)


1 1/2 crisco sticks (butter flavor) Highly processed to help you with inducing cancer.
2 1/2 cups firmly packed brown sugar. (I must say this is better than processed white granulated sugar)

4 Tbl spoon milk. (pasteurized milk no less, disgusting.)
2 Tbl spoon vanilla. (use real vanilla not imitation garbage.)
2 eggs. (it might be a nice gesture to use farm eggs rather than eggs from a commercialized egg farm. there is a lot of garbage in the chicken feed to increase egg production that we can do without in our bodies which is passed on to us throughout the eggs that these chickens lay.)

4 1/2 cups flour. (the recipe didn't specify white flour or whole wheat. Hmmmm I wonder which it is. Surely it is with out saying they wanted white flour? don't you think? Well think again. They want grade A wipe white flour. sick
2 teaspoon salt. (no don't even ask, of course they want Real Salt.
1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
One 12 oz package Hershey milk choc chips.

Directions:

Heat oven to 350 degree.
Combine butter flavor crisco, brown sugar, milk and vanilla in a large bowl.
Beat at medium speed with electric mixer until creamy.
Beat eggs into creamed mixture.
combine flour, salt and baking soda and mix into creamed mixture until just blended.
Stir in Chocolate chips and walnuts
drop rounded tablespoons size of dough onto ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake at 350 degrees for ten minutes (cookies will appear moist, do not over bake them or they will turn into a pile of pooh.

There you have it shit cookies

-Dad"

Even though my Dad seems very bitter towards this recipe, the cookies really are yummy!:)..just don't tell him I said that.
I LOVE MY DAD.

A SIMPLY WONDERFUL WEEK

Last week was heaven for me because my family was in town! I only get to see my brothers once a year and it is in the summer (besides this year I saw them twice because of my wedding). My family will get together for ONLY one week. Just to let you know how bitter/sweet it is. Picture eating a REALLY good deseret..like this..


(If this does not look good to you..then something is wrong with you and you can think of your favorite dessert.)

and only taking ONE BITE and then someone takes it away from you. Well thats how I feel because I had such a WONDERFUL time with them and I remember how great they are and then they just leave again for a year. Oh well I just have to cherish the time I do have with them. Okay now that you understand how I feel I wll move on.

My Birthday: such a delight now I am the big 20! yeah..not a teenager. I feel mature just saying that.

We had a big get together at Tay and my place. I really loved being surrounded by family. I didn't ever get a pic of my cake and I wish I did because it was SO YUMMY! Tay got me a mint chocolate chip ice cream cake! my favorite! we had fun playing the name game and visiting with one another!




We went down to the sand dunes with My Dad, (his new toys) Marc & Michelle..which by the way she is pregnant and is having a baby boy! So now I will have 10 nephews and only one niece! SO EXCITING! Any ways they make such cute babies so I am so thrilled for them and myself.

here are a few pics from 4 wheeling in the dunes.



It was so miserable HOT and we just had tents which were way to hot to go in so we would just sit in the little shade we had with bugs and hotness to accompany us. My little nephew was just sitting there and said, "why did you bring us here!?" ha and then they would ask how many more minutes till we get to go home, well not for two more days ha. The next day our family friends came with their nice motor home with AC! SO WE WERE LOVIN THAT! Max supprised us and came down with this one girl and then he crashed the four wheeler, passed out, and has a really messed up knee now. I like four wheeling but it it is so dangerous. Boating is just better. Anyways overall we had lots of good times and fun memories:)

BOATing it up!

The night before we went boating with the fam. the boys decided to take it out for a test run. Because I'm cool I got to attend this little boat run with them. Unfortunately it was so windy so the water was WAY choppy so I never ended up skiing or anything but I enjoyed watching the guys on the air chair.

Wed. we all went boating for the day with the fam! tons of fun! One day I will own a boat, I just have such a love for boating!




When we got home from boating all day the kids just wanted to go swimming..I guess they just didn't get enough water fun for the day so we then went swimming at my dad's house...the day was filled with lots of water fuN:)




Lava Hot Springs!!
The following weekend we went up to Idaho for the Wilker Fam reunion! I'm so glad Patty always makes an effort to put together a reunion every year. Its so good to stay in touch with family.

I am NOT abandoning you

I got a Facebook, it’s decent. I enjoy hearing from people that I don't see a lot, it’s a nice way to stay in touch. BUT it is so easy to waste so much time on FB. I have some friends that treat FB as a journal, like every thought that pops in their head..they write it down. Like everything people can abuse or overuse something..especially electronics. The nice thing about blogging is that you can actually print it off and make it into a book..so it is an actual record/journal. So I am going to try and blog ALOT more and do a lot less looking of FB. It’s hard when I have so much spare time at my work, so I try to be productive. Reading always is good. I need to find some good books to get into..have any suggestions????

What a Hoot!

okay I have three funny stories to share about one of my nephews and niece..

#1
My nephew cries everyday about having to do his hw and my sister's husband told him he needs to stop crying everyday. He replied by saying, "You just want me to do HW for YOUR benefit, not mine!..You guys just want to be good parents so you can get into heaven!!" hahaha oh he is such a funny little man!

#2
My sister had her kids doing chores and one of her little boys came up and said.."do you want me to be happy or to do work?..." ha its like what is your choice mom..for me to be happy or to work..ha oh kids humor/cuteness is what makes them bearable most of the time.

Kate..my little and only niece; was getting ready to go to her friends house and she had packed this really big bag. My sister asked her what was in the bag and maybe she shouldn't bring such a big bag. Kate told her that she needed to bring the big bag and everything in it was VERY important. Well Janie (my sis) got busy and forgot about the bag and they rushed out the door to Kate's friends house. When Janie went to pick Kate up from her play date, the mom told Janie what Kate did..She loaded that bag full of pictures that were framed of herself and put them all around the ladies house! I guess Kate just wanted to feel more at home, or perhaps just enjoyed seeing pics of herself everywhere she goes! oh I love, love, love my nephews and niece they always put a smile on my face!

You would Max

On Sunday Tay and I were enjoying the evening at my Dad's house. My Dad approached us both and asked if we have seen Max's wedding invitation yet?..As he handed us the wedding invite we both were taken back for a min. because Max has a new girl like every week so we didn't know if he finally settled for one.




But then we looked closely and knew the girl and KNEW IT WAS just a flippin JOKE! ha it was so funny. The girl wanted to pull a prank on her brother who was returning home from his mission and he about threw up when he saw the invite because he was so disgusted that he had no idea who max was and that his little sister would just randomly get married so fast oh....funny!!

Max's shirt cracked me up..He is the only one out of my siblings not married and he is very proud of himself, but I'm sure that won't be the case for much longer:)
