I'm so glad that you didn't frost those cookies! I was feeling bad that the ones I made didn't look so pretty! Jyl and I decided that the 3 of us need to get together for a cookie party...you can make them and we will eat them!
Chad is just training to get in better shape. His goal is to do a bike race in the Uintas this summer. He's been doing pretty good!
