sugar cookies
mmm. last night ryan and i made sugar cookies that turned out so great! they're so soft and delicious! here's the recipe if you wanna try them out:
1 c. butter
1 c. sugar
3 egg yolks
8 oz. sour cream
1 tsp. vanilla
3 c. flour
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
- Mix together all dry ingredients except the sugar, set aside. Cream together sugar and butter until the sugar dissolves and turns a light yellow color. Mix in eggs, sour cream, and vanilla. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix just until combined, do not over mix or the cookies will not be as fluffy.
- Chill in the fridge for an hour.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Roll cookies in to balls or roll out with a rolling pin to make cut out cookies. Either make big balls or dough, or roll it out thick so they stay soft.
- Bake for 7 minutes and 350.
Frosting
1 cube softened butter
1/2 c. sour cream
1 bag powdered sugar
1 tbls. vanilla
- Whip together butter and sugar, then add the sour cream and sugar.

usu vs. montana state
this weekend we had 3 games vs. montana state university. A double header on Saturday and one game on Sunday. Ryan pitched the whole first game and we won 4-5. The second game on Saturday we lost 13-7. and then on Sunday we won 13-7, Ryan pitched some in that game after he went in for another pitcher who wasn't feeling very well.
He did so good this weekend and i'm so proud of him! next weekend they'll be playing the number one team in our conference Weber State at Lindquist Field in Ogden.
wild heart western
Last Thursday, Danielle and I went with Kim (my very very favorite mother in law!) down to Baby Animal Days at the American West Heritage Center to model clothes from her store on the Valley Channel (a local channel here in Cache Valley). It was so much fun! The hosts of the show were so cute, they talked to Kim and asked her to describe what we were wearing...and it was just a really fun new experience, we had a blast!

This past weekend, Ryan went to Montana for baseball games, so I went to my parents house for the weekend. It was so great! On Friday night, I met up with my friend Allie and we went to yummy Roosters in Ogden for dinner. It was such a long over due get together and it really was just so great to meet up with her and catch up on everything! Then on Saturday, I watched Conference with my mom and sisters Michelle and Jeanette. Michelle's husband Scott was gone skiing with my dad all day, so she brought the kids down and watched with us. That night, during the men's Priesthood session, my mom, and Jeanette and I decided to go on a little shopping spree! We each got a couple pairs of shoes and some new clothes at the mall, and then we headed to Tai Pan (my favorite) and did some damage to our check books there too. On Sunday morning we all got up and watched Conference again. Since Ryan's games had gotten cancelled because of snow in Montana, they were able to come home early, so he met us in Ogden on Sunday afternoon! We had the whole family over that night for Michelle's 28th birthday dinner! It was so much fun to have everyone together and get to spend time with them. After dinner, we watched Michelle open presents, and the kids entertained us with their cute songs they've learned in PrImary...Book of Mormon Stories, Popcorn Popping, etc.
It was such a great weekend! and I can't wait for this weekend too...baseball games IN LOGAN! yay! cheer for USU!
new shoes!
don't worry everyone...the shoE problem has been solved. AND best of all, it was a buy one get one free sale where i got them, so not only did i replace my FAVORITE shoes, but i got another pair for free! and on top of that i had a gift card to that store, SO i got both pairs for $15!
i guess that suffering through my pink shoe trama turned out for the best :)
