The first part of our Utah stay was spent at my sister and brother's-in-law house in Bountiful. Angela and I always have a strange amount of fun together doing all sorts of things. When we are too wrapped up or tired to play, we simply reminisce. Such past memories we giggled about this time was the "Higgs Mobile" and our famous A&R Surprise Cookies. The Higgs Mobile consisted of Angela and I making sputtering car noises around the house as we pretended to be in an old jalopy. Why Higgs? For those who don't know, wait until I post my tag response. As for the purpose. . .cheap entertainment.
A&R Surprise Cookies came about one day when Angela and I were hankering for some good old fashion Snickerdoodles. (bytheway, I am still looking for that perfect recipe. . .hint hint Tami Kamerath) We found a recipe and proceeded. Unfortunately, we didn't know or didn't apply the good rule of double checking your ingredients with your pantry. Because of this lack of foresight, we had to improvise. For example, instead of cream of tartar which is a staple for this type of cookie we had baking soda. Vanilla Extract? How about lemon juice. Eggs? Who needed them anyway. Besides a little time in the oven and then in the freezer should make them firm enough to eat. Trust me when I say, no amount of sugar cravings made these cookies palatable. Luckily, Angela (and hopefully I) have redeemed ourselves in the cooking department.
Angela and Josh made some deliciousness. Angela helped the kids make some yummy Chocolate Peppermint Cookies and Josh made some fantastic chicken on the bbq. Thanks for being great hosts. Josh staying up with me to watch You've Got Mail online while Angela slept on Josh's shoulder. (thanks for telling me to go to bed) Both a big thanks for letting my kids explore every toy option in the house. Angela singing "It's time for Some Campaigning" from memory. Also, being willing to sneak Tiago and Mia into the Sunbeam class you were substituting for since Tiago still isn't too keen on nursery. And much much more. Your both fantastic and your little boy Liam too.

I love angela and josh!
Family times are the best times...
I too have been on the receiving end of the Josh and Angela hospitality train, and I would completely concur with your assessment. I am lost on the "It's time for Some Campaigning" jingle. I will have to ask Angela to tune up. Funny how those cookie cravings make everything seem possible or not.
