Valentine Cookies

We decided to make some Valentine cookies this year. I remember making them more often for Valentine's Day than for Christmas. Camden loved stealing the cookies off the plate and dipping his fingers in the frosting when he could do it before Brian or I caught him. :)

Anyway, here are our cookies!

Some of Brian's masterpieces

Isn't he good?

And here are my cookies:

Happy Valentine's Day!

PS On Wednesday, I will be at 6.5 months. The baby will be about 14 inches long and weigh about 1 lb 10 oz. And, we only have 3.5 months to go!

Charisse and Kory said...: Those look soo yummy. I am constantly craving sugar cookies buy mine never turn out very good. I wish I was there to eat some. Oh, and amazing frosting! Very talented; February 7, 2011 at 8:06 AM
Brian and Michelle said...: The frosting doesn't taste as good as a buttercream frosting, but it's ok. It's actually just 2 cups powdered sugar and 2 egg whites. Beat them on high for 7-10 minutes. Add some water (about 1/4 cup) to thin it out just a bit, and beat it until it's thick again.; February 7, 2011 at 1:19 PM

(At Cabela's, near the big animal mountain, feeding the fish)

Mckay was standing in the back of the cart, leaning on the railing to see the fish. Then, he leaned a little further. His feet left the cart and his cute round head started pulling him over the rail. Even though I was right next to him, with my hand on his back, he easily could have slipped right over the rail and into the fish pond. Of course, he just looked at me, smiled and giggled, then sat down in the cart. I don't think he was scared, but sensed it in me.

Interesting conversations tonight:

C: What is smaller than 0? Negative 1?

B: Yep.

C: (Starts talking about negative infinity, and if that's the "biggest" smallest number)

Seriously..where does he get this?

N: I want to make my Christmas list!

M: What do you want on your list?

N: The Children's Museum. Grandma's Children's Museum! (There's a really fun children's museum in Baltimore.)

M: Hmm..Can you choose something smaller?

N: (Whispering) A small children's museum.

Brian, Camden, Nate, and I were sitting on the couch for family prayer before bed. Just after we finished, Camden reached his toes up to his head and scratched his forehead. "I can scratch my head like a dog!" Then he reached his foot back and used his toes to scratch his ear. We never know what to expect from him!

Jan 13, 2013
At church, there was one bank of lights on the side of the church that wasn't turned on. No one would even notice. Unless that person is Nate.
N: "Uh oh" (point and pause) "Uh oh" (point and pause) "Uh oh".
M: "Are the lights turned off?"
N: "Uh-HUH!!! Uh oh" (pause and point) "Uh oh"
Repeat.

Nate: Buh a boh! (peek a boo!)

Nate: Hot hot hot! (looking at a picture that had a candle and flame in it)

Dec 2012
M: Nate looks so tired. He's ready for a nap.
C: But I'm not sleepy in the least.

February 9 2012
Camden's train of thought can be so random at times. We laugh a lot and also spend a lot of time trying to figure out what he's talking about.
C: Is that Mary and baby Jesus? (Looking at the picture of Mary praying with Jesus as a little boy.)
M: That's Mary with little boy Jesus. Do you like to pray?
C: Yes, but don't kiss me or eat me.

January 17 2012
C: I get marshmallows now. That's the only choice."

June 24, 2011
B: You are stinkin' cute!
C: Sink toot! Sink toot! (Stinkin' cute) Dad sink too! Mom sink too! Nate sink too! Me sink too! (I guess we are all pretty stinky!)

June 6, 2011
Michelle: "Do you need a change? Are you stinky?" (He was in desperate need of a change.)
Camden: "No change. Nate change!"

June 5, 2011 (At Bedtime):
Brian: "Was Mormon brave?"
Camden: "Brave. Di brave. Ammon brave. Queen brave. Sarge brave. Mate brave too." (Abinadi, "Cars" characters)

June 5, 2011 (During a testimony meeting):
After too many women spoke in a row: "Boys...church...true"

June 4, 2011
Mom: "Camden is so cute!"
Camden: "No Tammen (how he says Camden) toot (cute).
Queen toot. Mate toot. Dad toot. No Tammen
toot." (Lightning McQueen and Mater)
