We sure do love our baking friday adventures, and sharing our adventures with everyone :) keeping with the tradition, a wonderfully wholesome tradition, today Kayla, Mikey, Hunter, and i baked some nice chocolate chip cookies, and peanut butter cookies :) it was lots of fun :) the adventure was almost just Kayla and i baking today, as Mikey was scheduled for a dr. appointment (it got rescheduled), and Colby, Brayden, and Jacob were shopping with Alyssa and Aj, but we ended up with 2 more bakers in the kitchen today, Mikey and Hunter came over with Jenn to help :) Little hunter was so proud, he was helping me get some butter out of the fridge, he carried the butter right over to the counter and handed it to Kayla :) awww! :) he's a little baker in training :) Lots of awesome summer time baking friday fun, and so much more to look forward too :) 

my family and i hope everyone is doing well, and enjoying a nice peaceful day, and keeping cool, and comfortable. it's a very hot, humid day. wow! This morning, we had a sweet new day rising and shining :) i wished my family and friends a happy baking friday, and i love sharing with my family, your lovely happy baking friday wishes :) You all are so nice, and sweet :) Thank you all so very much! :) it was a nice morning. :) i gathered a nice bowl of goodies to put outside, for our nature animal friends :) they love their baking friday breakfast feasts :) awww! :) i was checking our plants this morning, they're doing amazing! :) we have some popcorn plants with double corn cobs growing on 1 plant! :) This is awesome!!! :) wow! :) 

It's so nice to see the plants flourishing with the season : )There's lots of great things going on in the yard, and garden :) We have lots of sunflowers blossoming, and we have our huge tall sunflower outside my window here, it's nearly 9 feet tall now! :) it's reaching for the sweet summer sky! :) It's such a tall sunflower :) We love the summer time gardening season :) around mid-morning, i began to gather our baking friday supplies, and decorations, and went out into our ktichen, to begin setting up, and decorating our kitchen :) i displayed our oven mits, along with a nice sunflower tableclothe, and some of our beautiful new cards my family and i have recieved in the mail, from our dear friends across the miles :) our kitchen looked so nice, all decorated :) i prepared a nice lunch, and during the mid-day, i enjoyed another nature walk :) i picked some grape tomatoes, string beans, i also tried a purple grape, they're ripening so nicely, the grapes are really sweet :) it was a great mid-day nature walk :) 

During the early afternoon, i enjoyed some nice time here on DS, writing to friends :) my mom mentioned earlier, that Alyssa and Aj had some shopping to do for the triplets, for their birthday gifts, and that they wouldn't be baking with us today, but were definitely with us in spirit :) shortly after 3pm, i went back out into our kitchen to put finishing touches on our kitchen preparations for our super fun adventure :) my mom mentioned about Mikey's dr. appointment, and didn't know if they would be coming over. it looked like it was gonna be just Kayla and i baking today. Each week, we get lots of nice use, from our nice baking friday supplies we've recieved over the years :) our nice aprons, oven mits, kitchen towels, and lots more :) These special supplies are always a big part of our cooking and baking each week :) Kayla and i were all set, and ready to begin to bake! :) calling all cookie monsters! :) cookie monsters unite! :) It's time to bake! bake! bake! :) 

Kayla and i began our fun adventure! :) it was just like old school baking friday, when Kayla and i first began to bake when she was 6 years old. She's 15 now, it's amazing how fast the years go by. :) We began to prepare the peanut butter cookies :) Kayla picked out the best egg ever :) we have lots of peanut butter, and ingredients from our cupboards :) We've been using lots of our ingredients from the cupboards in recent weeks :) Kayla and i super stirred the peanut butter cookie dough, it came out awesome! :) we were thinking of the kids, and they were with us in spirit in the kitchen :) i used some butter to grease the baking pan, and we put some nice peanut butter cookies onto the pan, and i put the cookies into the oven to bake! bake! bake! :) 

my mom got a call, from my sister Jenn, that Mikey's dr. appointment was rescheduled. She said Jenn, Mikey, and Hunter were coming over :) Super Cool! :) They arrived about 5 minutes later, and Mikey and Hunter were so excited, as they came out into the kitchen :) We got our picture taken together :) We had some chocolate chip cookies mix/package, and decided to bake those cookies :) We began to add the ingredients to the bowl, and Mikey was telling his about his birthday gifts, nintendo wii, and games :) Little Hunter joined us in the kitchen :) he helped me get some butter from the fridge :) he was so proud, he handed the butter to Kayla :) awww! :) Hunter is a little baker in training :) he loves baking friday, and is a big fan of cookies :) he loves cookies! :) 

Kayla and Mikey super stirred the chocolate chip cookie mix, and i brought the first batch of peanut butter cookies out of the oven :) i put some more butter on the pan, and we put the chocolate chip cookies onto the pan :) we were having a fun time, and sharing smiles :) baking friday teamwork! :) we love baking friday :) as the cookies were baking, we took a break, and did some cleaning in the kitchen :) The cookies baked so nicely :) we were all hanging out, and as soon as some of the cookies cooled down ,we had some :) they came out great! :) Little Hunter got the first cookie! :) Awww! :)
