Eat all the Christmas Cookies you want

RULES OF THE COOKIES

1. If you eat a Christmas cookie fresh out of the oven, it has no calories because everyone knows that the first cookie is the test and thus calorie free.

2. If you drink a diet soda after eating your second cookie, it also has no calories because the diet soda cancels out the cookie calories.

3. If a friend comes over while you're making your Christmas cookies and needs to sample, you MUST sample with your friend. Because your friend's first cookie is calories free, rule #1 is yours also. It would be rude to let your friend sample alone and, being the friend that you are, that makes your cookie calorie free.

4. Any cookie calories consumed while walking around will fall to your feet and eventually fall off as you move. This is due to gravity and the density of the caloric mass.

5. Any calories consumed during the frosting of the Christmas cookies will be used up because it takes many calories to lick excess frosting from a knife without cutting your tongue.

6. Cookies colored red or green have very few calories. Red ones have three and green ones have five - one calorie for each letter. Make more red ones!

7. Cookies eaten while watching "Miracle on 34Th Street" have no calories because they are part of the entertainment package and not part of one's personal fuel.

8. As always, cookie pieces contain no calories because the process of breaking causes calorie leakage.

9. Any cookies consumed from someone else's plate have no calories since the calories rightfully belong to the other person and will cling to their plate. We all know how calories like to CLING!

10. Any cookies consumed while feeling stressed have no calories because cookies used for medicinal purposes NEVER have calories. It's a rule!

Baby Doll Cradles

We have a friend who builds the most beautiful furniture. He has built these baby cradles for baby dolls for Christmas presents. They are custom made and you will love them. They will be painted white. If you are interested let me know he still has a few left.

No Water

This morning Jeremy noticed water coming up in a crack in our circle. So he called Herriman City and this is what happened...

No water for the day.

Nap Time

So working late nights I try to take a nap during the day. Jeremy offered to watch the kids so I wouldn't be bothered. This is what I came down the stairs to. I guess it is better then sleeping and not knowing what they are up too.

Christmas lights on Temple Square

We decided to fight with the cold and crowds and went down to Temple Square to see the lights. This was the first time we have done it and the kids had a wonderful time.

Jazz Game

Last night Jeremy was able to take Caleb and his nephew Cameron to the Jazz game. They had a great time. As they were leaving Jeremy was talking to Caleb and asking him about it. I guess they talked about the Jazz bear, the food they were able to get and eat, the game and the best part Jeremy asked him what his favorite part was, and he said the dancing girls. What are we in store for? I don't know if I am ready for it.

Truman is 6 months

Truman is turning 6months this week. How time flies. He is quite the chunk. Weighing in at 18.4 pounds. He smiles every time you look at him. As for now he is a mommas boy. But I am sure that is going to change.


This is Truman with one of his girlfriends Addie. She lives across the street. I watched her one day and they had fun. I put them face to face and Truman went right after her socks and tried chewing on her feet. Addie is 2 months older then him but I hope they will be friends. As you can tell my son is just as big or bigger then she is.
