Book of the Week

Inkheart

by Cornelia Funke

One night Mo Folchart read aloud from the book Inkheart to his wife and daughter. That night his whole world changed. He read characters from the book out, and his wife in. Years later, his daughter Meggie is a teenager. He gets a knock on the door, and a man he hasn't seen for years appears in front of him. From then on, his life would never be the same.

"An amazing adventure story that anyone would enjoy."- Allie, The Moisen World Gazette, Starred Review

Summer Activities- Baking Cookies

The beginning of summer is over and though everyone is still thinking summer is the best invention ever, there are some rainy days (I think there has been more than enough of those this summer) were people need things to do.

How about you bake cookies?

This isn't most parents favorite thing for you to do, it tends to make a mess.

But it is fun!! You just need to clean up after. :(

Me, Alyssa, and Emma baked cookies for fourth of july! It was a blast!! We did make a mess, but we cleaned it up before my mom saw it. We made a double batch so Alyssa could take some home. We ended up making the cookies HUGE! But they were still just as good, and my mom let us have one cookie, and one cookie was about the size of three. You should bake some cookies (and than some to me as a friendly gift.)

Mmm... Cookie Dough!!

We made a mess!!! They still turned out good!

We made chocolate chip cookies and frosted them! Here is the recipe we used.

Original Nestle Toll House Mini Morsel Cookies

2 1\4 cups all purpose flour 3\4 cup granulated sugar

1 tsp. baking soda 3\4 cup packed brown sugar

1 tsp. salt 1 tsp. vanilla extract

2 large eggs 2 cups chocolate chips

1 cup (two sticks) butter, softened (We ran out and used Crisco, but you should still use butter. Its a lot healthier.)

1 cup chopped nuts (optional, we didn't use them.)

Preheat oven to 375.

Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl. Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract in a large mixer bowl untill creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in morsels and nuts. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto ungreased baking sheet.

Bake for 9 to 11 minutes of untill golden brown. Cool onto baking sheets for two minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool completely.

Makes about 5 dozen cookies.

We had to change the recipe a little bit. The cookies were so good we needed to put them in for about 20 minutes. And we used crisco. But we recomend you follow to recipe.

Happy Birthay Emma!

Happy Birthday Emma!!!!

Her birthday party Luau on June 26th was a blast! All her friends had fun! We had brownie sundaes!
Her real birthday was just as fun! We went bowling and she won!

Independence Day

On the 3rd, my family headed to my aunts house for the 4rth. We smooshed into their 3-bedroom, one-floor house for the night. Seeing as space was limited, Maggie ended up sleeping in Molly [about a month old]'s crib! {Molly wasn't sleeping in it, she is still to little.} Then we woke up early and headed to the Four on the Fourth road race. My dad ran it and he did awesome. My uncle also ran it and did aweome, even though he had had 6 extra people sleeping in his house that past night. Then me and Emma ran the kids fun run. We did pretty good, but I did feel sick afterwards. After that we headed to the beach and played in the water the whole time. It was COLD! {I still had fun.} I hope you had a happy Fourth!
