And the winner is...

After eating dinner, Dan and I were having a discussion on what we should do for the night. Dan had the great idea to go miniture golfing.

It was a beautiful night and we had so much fun.

It also ended up being 2 for 1 Tuesday night at Craig's Cruisers! So both of us were able to golf for the price of one. What a deal!

Oh, and the winner was Dan. The final score was 45 to 51. Bummer!

Monster...

Dan and I decided to make cookies last week, and the deal was that Dan got to pick what kind of cookies we made. He choose Monster Cookies.

We went online to find out how to make these cookies and soon our printer was spitting out the recipe. I took a closer look at it and I could hardly believe what I was seeing. I decided very quickly that we needed to cut this recipe in half and then I headed to the grocery store to select the ingredients. You can take a look at the recipe here and you'll see what I'm talking about. We still ended up with sooo much cookie dough I ended up freezing some.

I wanted to make the cookies "normal" size, but Dan wanted "monster" size. He used and ice cream scooper and placed 2-3 giant balls of dough on the pan. Take a look at the size of these cookies.

Moo School!

Dan and I went back to school this weekend. How fun could that be, you say. A lot of fun, especially with his parents.


Cal, Nancy, Dan and I attended Moo School at the Country Dairy just north of New Era. It was quite interesting. We first watched a short video in the classroom that gave some insight as to what happens daily on the dairy. Then we hopped on the wagon for a short ride see the Heifers and milk cows. We were given a complete tour of the dairy and they showed us how they process everything from 18,000 gallons of milk per day, to cheese, ice cream, and butter. We saw cows from cute baby size to enormous prize milk cows. Our jaws dropped when we found out some of the prize milk cows can fetch over 30 thousand dollars. After the trip was over, we were treated to a glass of their famous chocolate milk and some freshly made moochies. It was great fun. We found it to be very interesting and entertaining. If anyone is in the area of Country Dairy, we highly recommend the tour.

Fractured finger!

After spending part of Sunday afternoon watching women's professional beach volleyball I looked forward to playing it with some friends that evening.
I realized quickly I was no professional, however I was still enjoying myself.
Close to the end of the night I hit the ball just right or maybe I should say just wrong. Dan and I left Helder Park and headed for prime care. I just knew it was broken.


Well...... I realized I can still cut hair with a broken finger, but I cannot do house work!!! Poor Dan!

P.s. That x-ray is not my actual finger!

Bummed after The Bachelorette

Okay, so some of you may be wondering why I would write about such a dumb tv show. Good question?
For the past few Monday nights I was positioned in front of our tv growing more and more excited about ABC's tv show The Bachelorette. I was more into this season then ever before. I really liked DeAnna (the bachelorette), and found myself believing I was watching a real love story unfold between her and a bachelor named Jason. They seemed so perfect.
If your not familiar with the show, let me give you a quick explanation. One bachelorette meets 25 guys and dwindles them down each week until she ends up with one. You never know what will come in the end, sometimes you will see them express their love and commitment or you could even see a marriage proposal.
So, there I was last night on our couch, so excited, because I actually thought this season was different. I just knew Jason and DeAnna were head over heels for each other. Jason didn't have any competition in my mind. He stood out to me and to DeAnna from the very beginning.
I was sooooo wrong. DeAnna let go of Jason, and she accepted a marriage proposal from another bachelor named Jesse.
So, after investing about 17 hours of my life into watching this reality tv show, I wish I never let myself get that excited. I found myself totally disappointed in the end.
