And this one was so funny that we wanted to put it on also...

Chocolate chip cookies

1. 4 1/2 cups flour




2. 2tsp baking soda




3. 2 tsp salt




4. 2 cups butter (softened)




5. 2 cups sugar




6. 2 cups brown sugar




7. 2 tsp vanilla




8. 4 eggs




9. 2 bags chocolate chips

Combine dry ingredients. In another bowl combine butter, sugars, & vanilla until creamy. Add eggs. Gradually add flour mixture. Add chocolate chips. If cooked like cookies they turn out really flat but taste good. We like to cook them in a glass casserole pan for 45 minutes. After 45 minutes if you put a tooth pick in it will come out wet. Pull it out anyway and let it cool. After it is cooled cover with plastic wrap and let set over night. If you want to cook as cookies cook for 9 -11 minutes. All of it is at 350 degrees.

A Barbeque Surprise

Last Monday we went a Barbeque at the Hamre's house with the Pollocks. We said it was for the baptism the day before as a celebration, but it also was a surprise party for Mr. Hamre and my Dad. Mr. Hamre's birthday was the 11th and my Dads birthday was the 12th. It was a lot of fun and we did surprise them. We had a good time. We played several games, such as "capture the gag","ultimate Frisbee", "base ball with pine cones", and "pine cone war, boys vs. girls" , that last game lasted a hour and a half. We sang "happy birthday" to the Dads and had a great time. We stayed until about 9. Well that is all I can think of. Other then Thank you to the Hamres for having us over we had a great time. So here are the pictures.....

Just having fun...
Thank you Mr. Hamre, the burgers were great.....

Just talking...

Very cute.....

A Day to Remember

Last Sunday our church held a baptism. There were 9 people who were brought into the Fold that Sunday. Devin Philip Reilly was one of those 9. We were very blessed that many of our church family were able to be there on that special day. Even though our pictures did not come out as nice as we wanted we will always remember that day. Here are some picture for those who were not able to join us, so that they may enjoy the blessings of that day as well. Welcome to the Family of God, Devin!!

It is so cool that you made it yourself!!! And something you may not have know that is very cool (at least to me) is that the backing material is the same kind that Grandma used when I was 10 to make me a dress. That was my favorite dress ever so that is very cool. And for those who are reading this and have not seen the quilt here are some pictures........

Sausage, cheese, peperoni roll.

Sausage, cheese, peperoni roll, is one of our favorite meals. It really should be called the sausage or cheese or peperoni roll because we have never had it with all three. I wanted to share the recipe so here it is..........



One batch of bread

(You can use any bread recipe you have)

mozzarella cheese

1 lb sausage and/or peperoni and/or hamburger

One batch of spaghetti sauces



Make up your bread recipe and let it rise about half way. Roll out flat on a cookie sheet, put cheese and meat in a strip, then roll to seal edges. Seal ends. Cook for 30 minutes or so. Let cool a little, then cut put on plates and add spaghetti sauce. More mozzarella on top if wanted.

So it is pretty easy to do but really good. Oh, and if anyone uses this recipe and changes it, will you let me know so we can try it that way. I hope you all enjoy it.

Tree house part 5

Here are the next set of pictures. We have the last wall up. We have been busy this last week, so we have only done a little. Dad, Devin, and sometimes Christian where up before dawn and at Dads work to do the remodeling almost every day last week. So the tree house had to wait. But what was fun is that we got our first batch of beans this last week and have been canning them. Well that is all. Hope you enjoy the pictures....


Last wall with big window. As long as Lady from this picture.


Joshua calling for me to come there.


Calling again.


OK, that is good. Then he opened the door and let me in..... :)

Here he is sharing his snack.

Everyone likes the tree house.

I am not sure what Lady is saying but it sure looks funny.

Are they not the cutest little girls. The cat is cute too.

OK, no more pictures we want to play now.
