The summer season is rocking! :) i began my day this morning, by gathering a big bowl of goodies, and went outside for my early morning nature walk :) it had just started to rain a bit. We've had some nice replenishing rainfall this week. Our plants love it, and are super mega growing :) i checked in on our plants, they're doing really well :) i also put some goodies in our backyard, for our nature friends :) they love their baking friday breakfast feasts :) i saw mr. nut squirrel in the bird sanctuary area, he was enjoying some peanuts, and breads :) i love the nature, even on rainy days, the nature still has a sweet glow :) the summer season is flourishing :)


i began to gather our baking friday supplies, and decorations, and went out into our kitchen to begin setting up, and decorating for our super fun adventure :) i used our sunflowers tablecloth :) our kitchen looked awesome! :) i prepared a nice lunch, baked sweet potatoes, and mashed potatoes with cheese, lunch was delicious! :) my mom and dad went out to shop today :) We're all gearing up for Kayla's and Lisa's upcoming birthday's :) Holly and i had an awesome talk, and during the early afternoon, i enjoyed some nice time here on ds, writing to friends :) after 2pm, Alyssa and the triplets came over, and shortly before 3pm, Jenn, Mikey, and Hunter came over :) we were all gathering around :) 2 of the triplets, Jacob and Colby were playing the nintendo games, super mario :) Lots of great excitement all around :) i began getting our kitchen ready, for some baking friday fun :)


We love this time of the year, and our summer time baking friday's :) The kids got their seats in the kitchen, and we all got our pictures taken :) it's a cool baking friday tradition :) each week, we love to use our nice baking friday supplies :) i wear my apron, and we use our oven mits, and kitchen towels :) we love our baking friday supplies, they're always a great part of our baking ,and cooking each week :) we were very excited to bake cookies :) we were all set, and ready :) calling all cookie monsters! :) cookie monsters unite!!! :) it's time to bake! bake! bake! :)


We began our super fun adventure! :) i said to Kayla, pick out the egg egg ever, and some butter :) Kayla got the egg, and butter, and we began to add the ingredients into the bowl :) the kids get so proud, when they help add the ingredients :) they were adding in the flour, sugar, salt, egg, butter, and we all tried the chocolate chips :) awesome! :) baking friday teamwork! :) Hunter got the garlic powder, and before we could notice, he added in garlic powder! oh my hehe! :) we continued preparing the cookies, we added in some extra brown sugar, and flour. i used butter to grease the baking pans :)


We were sharing lots of smiles, baking the goodies :) my mom, Jenn, and Alyssa came out into the kitchen too :) this was awesome! :) You all are always right there with us in spirit :) We put the cookies dough onto the baking pans, and then put the cookies into the oven to bake! bake! bake! :) Mikey was so proud, he wore the oven mit, and helped put one of the baking pans into the oven :) we all gave Mikey a high 5! :)


The kids are learning a lot about baking :) we're very proud of them :) As the cookies were baking, we did some cleaning up in the kitchen :) we were all hanging out, enjoying the spirit of the day :) Once the 1st batch of cookies finished baking, i brought the cookies out of the oven to cool down, and we put a 2nd batch of cookies into the oven :) Once the 1st batch cooled a bit, we all began to have some cookies :) Jenn noticed that there was something slightly off about the cookies, and Kayla and i mentioned, about Hunter pouring in some garlic powder! hehe! :) oh my! :) we were all laughing! hehe! :) the cookies aren't bad, but they have a garlic scent! hehe! :) Jenn called Mike, and shared about the funny moments, of him adding in garlic powder to the cookies dough. hehe! :) it was fun, sharing some laughs :)
