Yeah its finally fall and we are baking in the Williams home.  I love to bake with my with kids! It is such a fun  time to teach the kids about cooking and how to use the oven, and the safety rules in the kitchen.  It is  also is a fun way to  teach them how to read a recipe and  use fractions.  I love it! My Favorite part is making a mess with my kids and having FUN!! So today it was Chocolate chip cookies using the Ghiradeli Recipe.  We made our amazing cookies from scratch.  (we loved eating the raw dough too)  I included the recipe.  So if you have any kind of chocolate chips in the house you still can make this great cookie Recipe! Enjoy!

Disneyland at Halloween Time

The week of Halloween the kids were out of school for a few days so Lynnae and I decided to take them to Disneyland.  We had so much fun.  Alexis and Eli were so excited to go with them. It was a lot of fun to see all the decorations and all the fun Fall things all around the park.  There was this huge candy corn and that is Eli's favorite so we had to take a few pictures with them.  So cute.  Ethan and Taelor were a ball to be and fun to see what they really enjoyed.  I loved spending the day with Lynnae and just laughing with her and having fun with our kids.

Irvine Park with BMF

Every Tuesday a group of us mommies from church get together.  This fall is has been so much fun. (thanks Val glad you are back) Every other week we meet at the park, and the weeks we don't we go on a field trip.  It is so much fun!!!!  Anyone can come so if you are ever interrested please call me.  Well last Tuesday we went to the Irvine Park pumpkin patch and went on the train ride and toured the pumpkin patch.  It was so fun.  I always enjoy being with the mommies and hearing about their week.  It is also a great time to encourage those around us, and if need prayer for anything we can share it with the group of mommies that totally undsterand.  It really is just an all around great time.  I have been able to meet moms and spend time with them so much more because of this group and I love it!!!
