Yummy Treats

One Lovely Sunday Afternoon Kelsi came over for dinner... We love it when she comes. We made our favorite Calzones and Daniel made his most famous cookie recipe however, it didn't turn out because he uses shortening in his cookies and since we don't have shortening we had to use butter.. Unforbidden in his cookies. Since the recipe makes so many we decided to make jumbo size cookies.. with all sorts of ingredients on top. :) YUM

Well they turned out looking really cute and fun but they tasted more of bread than a cookie I think if we had added lots more chocolate it would have tasted GREAT!

Here They are.. Great Date idea or way to get nice and fat

So for April Fool's day I really wanted to do something to Daniel, so I got up before him to make him breakfast but I started getting a guilty feeling inside of me about doing a mean prank.. cuz dan usually takes his breakfast on his way to work so i'd feel bad having him be hungry all day. Instead I made pancakes with raisins inside of them, he doesn't really like raisins but will eat them. And I put one huge chocoloate chip in one pancake. I made some tang and added lots of salt to it. Well he didn't even eat my surprise chocolate chip pancake and he thought I was trying to make him eat healthier by putting raisins in the pancakes. sheesh. Then he asked me if i was a little tired this morning. I said why and he was like because you put salt in the Tang instead of sugar and he was worried that I'd come home and drink the tang and spit it everywhere not knowing that i had put salt instead of sugar.. Sheesh sheesh.. So my pranks didn't really work. DARN.
That night we went to Shelby and Brandon's house and brought homemade Pizza....

We gave a slice to Brandon.. he was nervous of course to try it but HE LOVED IT!! THis isn't your ordinary pizza.. we like to call it FOOL's Eye Pizza. It's actually cake for the dough with frosting for the pizza sauce, white chocolate and coconut for cheese and fruit by the foot pepporoni. Scrumdiliumcious

What will today bring? Excitement? Grief? Happiness?

So many things have been happening lately and school just keeps me so busy that I finally have a time to tell you all what has been going on in our crazy but fun lives. This picture dates back clear to Feb. 21 President's Day, yup I even remember the exact day, it was monday. Daniel and I got to spend the whole day together (which on a Monday is crazy talk) up in Ogden, UT. He has been dying to take me to Maple Garden a chinese restuarant in Ogden. He says it's the best Chinese restaurant ever... I've had a hard time finding a decent chinese restaurant since being back from China.. It was fabulous!! If you're ever up that way I highly recommend the Seshwan chicken:) We received our fortune cookies.. Mine informing me that I have great news I will soon tell.......

Here's how it all began......
I came up with an idea to have dinner with the family and Daniel came up with the brilliant idea to have Chinese dinner and make fortune cookies for everyone with their own fortune. Side note do not ever make fortune cookies by hand unless you have the perfect oven. This is how our sad looking cookies turned out miniature tortillas. Daniel spent hours trying to perfect them but this was the best we could get. Taste= magnificent!!

 So with our poor little fortune cookies up we went to South Jordan to start making the most Amazing (since China) feast yet. Mom made orange and sweet and sour chicken I made sticky beyond sticky fried rice, daniel made most delicious jouza or pot stickers.

Dinner was over and we brought out our surprise.. Daniel handed everyone a fortune cookie. Each took their turn to read theirs out loud.. Dad got you will come upon many hills and bumps in your journey (biking). Mom couldn't even read hers so she had Lexi read it.... which said Beware this Halloween for a  new "Mummy" will be here. Mom laughed and said oh yup i'm going to be a mean mom. We forgot to to give one to Shae so daniel hurry and made up a fortune to write and she signed what it said. No one could understand what she said but only got out two letter "N" and "T" finally brandon said Auntie?? It immediately hit Shelby repeating AUNTIE!!! A second later this was the reaction of beholders......

Please notice everyone's faces please...
