Chewy Chocolate Mint Cookies

2 boxes devil's food cake mix
1 box brownie mix
3 eggs
3/4 c. water
3/4 c. oil
2 boxes Andes Mints

Preheat oven to 350. Mix together cake mixes, brownie mix, water, oil, and eggs. Roll dough into balls and bake for approximately 8 minutes. After removing cookies from the oven, place 1/2 of an Andes Mint on each cookie. Use the back of the spoon to spread the mint over the cookie. Cool. Resist the temptation to eat them all in one sitting. :)

Aspen Grove

We had such a great time at Aspen Grove. We loved playing with all of the kids, and really appreciate all of the parents putting up with us hogging their children. :) Not sure what our favorite part of the week was, but not having to cook was pretty awesome. Watching Nick and Ryan work their magic was pretty sweet too. Seriously, Aspen Follies was definitely high on our list of favorites, right up there with playing games in Mom and Dad's cabin.

Graduation

Hurray we did it! Thanks for coming everyone. So... we don't actually have any pictures of the graduation itself, feel free to send some :)

The Driveway: Part 2

Now that the concrete was gone, it was time to prep for the new cement to be poured. Trev and Cliff got their hands dirty moving around dirt and leveling things up. I even got to play with power tools as I cut off the tops of the stakes. We are so glad that Cliff and Jaime came into town early to help us out--as I am no good at moving around dirt. THANKS!

Even Zander helped. ;)

The Driveway: Part 1

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Mike! This last weekend the boys worked themselves silly prepping our driveway for the cement pouring party. I think what happened was neither of them wanted to be the first to call it quits on account of exhaustion, so they both just kept truckin' along. They ripped out all of the existing concrete, dug up dirt, and nearly finished the framing. Hopefully they will both be rested up by Aspen Grove.
