found the lost

*ha so this was suppose to be posted ages ago but like the things in the post this was apparently also lost and has been found!



So we have this bank envelope that we keep all the kids birth certificates, ss cards, our passports and marriage certificate (among other important papers) in. We brought it on our trip to Canada to have what we thought we needed to get their Canadian status opened (didn't get that done because of the circles you have to navigate through in the government but that's another post for another day). I realized a little over a week ago or so that I hadn't seen the envelope in a while. come to think of it I couldn't remember seeing it since we got home. The last place I can actually remember having it in mt hands was crossing the border back in to the USA. places it could have been lost between here and there included a rental car, air port, restaurant gas station..... I have stayed awake nights thinking about how I had lost my kids identities and what a head ach this could potentially be for them for years and years to come. It is with a grateful/thankful heart I can say God answered my prayers with a 'here you go my child'.  I called twice to report the passports lost today and kept hanging up because I just 'knew' they would appear!

Fonda Masterson's Chocolate chip cookies

This is the last chocolate chip cookie recipe that I will ever use!

*To start preheat oven to 375 degrees.

*Cream together 3/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 white sugar and 1 cup butter (2 sticks), 1 small box vanilla instant pudding (sugar free makes fluffy cookie while regular makes flatter cookies, both are yummy) & 1 tsp vanilla.

 *Get an adorable helper to crack 2 eggs.

*blend eggs into sugar mixture.

 *add 2 &1/4 cups flour, 1tsp baking soda

 *stir in 1/2 pkg semi-sweet chocolate chips.

 *drop by the spoonful onto cookie sheet and bake 9-11 minutes.

Made with Sugar free instant pudding

made with regular instant pudding

Recipe will make about 2 DOZEN cookies depending on the size. They are a soft cookie unless you over bake them then they will be more crunchy, you chose!

Strawberry Lemon aid

For one very tall glass of strawberry lemon aid:

*Melt 1/3 sugar in 1 cup of water to create a syrup.
*mix syrup with 1/2 lemon juice and 1 & 1/3 cup water
*add 3 chopped (or sliced) strawberries
