The BEST NO BAKE COOKIES EVER!!!!!!!!!!!

I've made these cookies for years, and when I made them yesterday I thought.....This would be a perfect recipe to share on my blog!!!

1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup milk
2 cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup peanut butter
3 1/2 cup oatmeal
1 cup chocolate chips

Boil first 3 ingredients for 1 minute. Remove from heat and add remaining ingredients. Drop by spoonful onto wax paper. Allow to cool and ENJOY!!

For all you CostcoAHOLICS!!! (or maybe that is just ME!!)

Just an F.Y.I.......The Superstition Springs Costco will be closing next week cause a new one will be opening up just down the street....anyways they have TONS of their clothes marked down WAY cheap!!! For example I got a pair of Lucky Jeans for 9.97 for Randy, Hurley Boardshorts for Travis for 4.97, etc. Even a swimsuit for me that was normally 30 bucks for 14.97. Anyways....if you want..... it might be worth checking out....things are going really fast though. I bought all this stuff last Wednesday and when I went today it was marked down even cheaper and not a tons of sizes left....

I went to customer service and I gave them my receipt and they did a price adjustment and gave me 38 bucks back!!!! I couldn't believe it! These prices are the prices today...not what I paid on Wednesday. I dont' know if them are going to mark everything down eventually or what.....they told me they aren't moving anything to the new costco...they will either mark it down or send it to other costco's.

So there is your deal for the day!!! let me know what you get!

Check out my Slide Show!


Happy 4th Birthday Megan!!! We had a great water party planned for Megan's 4th Birthday complete with a slip n slide, pool, water balloons, bubble guns, etc. Unfortunately due to the UNEXPECTED cold and rainy weather, we had to have a last minute pirate party inside. We ended up having such a fun time though. We put bandanas on each kid, had a treasure hunt, played lots of fun balloon games (if you ever are in need of some games, balloons are so cheap and SO FUN, and if you google balloon games, you will have MILLIONS of ideas!!!) We also had a fun pinata and we finished off the party outside with cupcakes, popsicles, and drinks. Megan loved all of her presents and had so much fun with her friends.

End of The School Year Awards Assembly....



Warning...this might be really messed up...I'm going to try and add photos!!!


Travis and Taylor had their end of year Awards Assembly last Wednesday. Both of them had such incredible teachers and that resulted in a wonderful year. They both are really good students and Randy and I are so proud of them. Travis received an Honor Roll certificate and medal this year for making honor roll every quarter and Taylor got Principals Citizenship Award. Every year each teacher picks a boy and girl from each class who are hard workers, nice to everyone, good students, and show outstanding citizenship everyday. This is actually Taylor's second year in a row winning this award. Like I said Randy and I were very proud of them!
(Sorry...if this sounds like bragging, but I'm making this my journal also!!)

Well here it is.......................

Our first blog entry. Everyone keeps asking me when we will have a blog and I kept putting it off. I thought it would take me forever to put it together, but in reality it took five minutes. I'm doing a blog in hopes that this will keep my family and friends up to date and also allow me to have a journal for my family. I'm looking forward to having enough entries so I can have it printed and bound.

Everything is going well here....the kids are out of school for the summer so we are enjoying playing with friends and swimming a ton!!! Even Anney LOVES the water and thinks she can jump off the diving board just like everyone else!

We had a great Memorial Day BBQ last night at our home with family, it was so much fun to get together and swim and play the WII. That WII causes some serious emotion to come out of some family members!!

Once I figure out how to post pictures, I will do so. Until then, everyone have a safe and fun summer!!!
