A sorta fix......

I think that I have figured out where everything went wrong....I was playing around yesterday with some new templates. I think that some of the changes messed up the header picture. So, I have set the picture off to the side until I can really fix it. :P

Grrr.........

I am having issues with Blogger right now. GRRRRR......... My header photo keeps disappearing. Humpf.........off to pout now.

1/2 cup of brown sugar
1/2 cup of white sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups self rising flour
3/4 cup white chocolate chips
1 cup of dried cranberries

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease cookie sheet.

In a large bowl, cream butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract. Stir the flour into the sugar mixture.

Mix in the white chocolate chips and cranberries. Drop by spoonfuls onto prepared cookie sheet.

Allow cookies to cool for approximately 1 minute on the cookie sheet prior to transferring to wire rack to cool completely.

Freedom & Faith......

What does it mean to you?



I encourage you to watch the short video at http://www.gratitudecampaign.org/shortmovie.php. Did you ever stop to thank a soldier for their service to our county? Did you ever stop to think about the sacrifices that they make on a daily basis to keep our country free?


Here is a very moving and touching YouTube video. It is called "Cardboard Testimony".

Ta da!

Miss Kyleigh Mae now has 2 teeth! She got ahold of my finger and OUCH! Them little things are sharp!

And just like that, Kyleigh is now sitting by herself! She did it for the first time on Tuesday. :) She is really liking this sitting up and playing. Victoria sat with her today and played patty cake. She loved it! Kyleigh can sit alone for about 10 -15 minutes by herself.

I can't believe how big she is getting!!!!
