you can never have to much sugar in sugar cookies!

While walking aimlessly through the grocery store aisles (never a good idea!) i had the sudden urge to achieve the epitomy of my mothers baking skills and attempt to make her delicious sugar cookies (no easy feat i assure you!) but with a little bit of extra sugar and making a riskinator move by adding more sour cream soley because i thought something was "missing", i have to boast a little and say i didnt do all that badly! in fact, the only thing missing to make give them ultimate perfection is the "mom touch" which i assume only comes after years of perfecting the sugar cookie science! I even made homemade frosting and colored some different colors so kyle and i could decorate them. We had tons of fun using our cute cookie cutters that we got for our wedding.

For the last bit of dough thats not quite enough to roll out and cut, kyle and i sculpted our own shapes. I made a femur bone! :)

We only have a couple of weeks left before school starts up again I'm enjoying the no schedule life, but kyle is starting to get a little stir crazy! We had such a fun time on a vacation with my family to flaming gorge, spending a week on a house boat with no plans but to soak up the sun and have fun boating. I learned how to kneeboard and took one for the team when i was the first to try a 20 ft rope swing, only to find the results were a very painful backflop. (what can i say, i was born with lack of fear and grace!) Kyle faced his fears and jumped off the top of the house boat and even learned to dive! We all were very impressed!

One night we went off the slide late at night! It was such a fun week!
