3 Year old takes ALS Ice bucket challenge

My 3 year old has been watching a lot of the ALS Ice bucket videos on line with me.  Today he asked me if he could do the challenge.  I told him he would have to have ice water poured on top of his head.. he said "Ok, Let's do it"

So we started this little Youtube channel. It has been pretty fun so far. Here is one of out trailers. If you like it go and subscribe.

It's been a while...

Wow, over a year ago was my last Blog post on here... I have a lot of catching up to do!  Where to start?
Well, Parris is now in the 7th grade... she is on the soccer team for her school and loving ever minute of it.  She went to Young Women's camp this year and had a blast making new friends and building stronger relationships with the ones she has.

Jacob is going into 6th grade. {Scary to know I have two in middle school} He can't wait until soccer season for the boys team, but for now enjoys basketball and is reading "The Lost World".  Last book he read was "Life and Death of Superman"  finished it in a week.  ... Let's not forget, Devin gave him permission to shoot and kill ( with the BB gun ) squirrels

Elizabeth had to get stitches... and Logan is growing and growing and growing.... he's going to be one tall 2nd grader. He's almost as tall as Elizabeth, who is going into the 4th grade. 

Elizabeth has just taken the summer playing with her friends and going on bike rides... Logan has enjoyed just being out of school for the summer.  

Then, yes.. how can I forget our trip to New York, and D.C ... What a great time we had! We went to the ONE AND ONLY... Carlo's Bakery!  YUMMMMM 

Ethan, He's the funniest 3 year old I know with a vocab of a much older kid... He told us he also has super human powers.  Loves playing in the hose, the park, getting dirty, helping in the garden and he can't wait until he turns 5 so he can go to school. 

As for me and my hubby... we are still working hard.

MMM, You know you want to make these.

Ingredients
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
3/4 cup (packed) light brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup powdered sugar
2 large egg yolks
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
8 ounces semisweet or bittersweet chocolate (do not exceed 72% cacao), coarsely chopped
Maldon or other flaky sea salt


Preparation
Place racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and preheat to 375°. Whisk flour, baking powder, kosher salt, and baking soda in a medium bowl; set aside.

Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat butter, brown sugar, sugar, and powdered sugar until light and fluffy, 3-4 minutes. Add egg yolks, egg, and vanilla. Beat, occasionally scraping down the sides of the bowl, until mixture is pale and fluffy, 4-5 minutes. Reduce mixer speed to low; slowly add dry ingredients, mixing just to blend. Using a spatula, fold in chocolate.

Spoon rounded tablespoonfuls of cookie dough onto 2 parchment paper-lined baking sheets, spacing 1-inch apart. Sprinkle cookies with sea salt.

Bake cookies, rotating sheets halfway through, until just golden brown around the edges, 10-12 minutes (the cookies will firm up as they cool). Let cool slightly on baking sheets, then transfer to wire racks; let cool completely. DO AHEAD: Cookies can be made 1 day ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.
