The best Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe!!!!

I made these the other day and I must say that they have to be one of the best chocolate chip cookies that we have ever had.

WARNING: the recipe does make alot of cookies so be prepared to eat lots and get fat or give them away and I only cooked them for 9mins.

Award Winning Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies These are SOOOOOO good!!! *
4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour*
2 teaspoons baking soda*
2 cups butter, softened*
1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar*
1/2 cup white sugar*
2 (3.4 ounce) packages instant vanilla pudding mix*
4 eggs*
2 teaspoons vanilla extract*
4 cups semisweet chocolate chips*
2 cups chopped walnuts (optional)1.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Sift together the flour and baking soda, set aside.2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar. Beat in the instant pudding mix until blended. Stir in the eggs and vanilla. Blend in the flour mixture. Finally, stir in the chocolate chips and nuts. Drop cookies by rounded spoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.3. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven. Edges should be golden brown.

Who needs to knock when I have figured out how to open the door?

As soon as Rylen hears Daddy having a shower he b-lines it to the bathroom door. He use to sit there banging away on the door hoping that someone would answer it for him but now he has figured out how to open it all by himself! As soon as he gets in he goes straight to the bathtub and tries to climb in.
Hey, if a child wants to have a shower then why not let him!!
Everytime this happens I get called in to strip Rylen down so he can play in the bathtub while Daddy has his shower.

Rylen is on the move!

There is no stopping this kid now, Rylen has to walk everywhere and all of the time. If we are stuck in the house due to bad weather he will even run around the living room doing laps! Andrew and I took him for a walk down the street the other day and this would have been the first time that he has gone for a walk by himself (on the street, in his runners with no stroller). Rylen walked the entire block all by himself and he was so proud of himself!!

New words (video)

You have to listen very closely to hear him but Rylen has a few new words. He can say "please" which sounds like "teas" and today he just learnt the word "ouch"

Kick, kick (video)

If you listen closely you can hear Rylen say "kick, kick"

Gotta love the taste of bath water (video)

Drink up!

Hot (video)

One of Rylen's favorite words to say is "HOT". Any time mommy is at the stove cooking, Rylen will point to the food and say "hot, hot".

The stupid things we do just to get a little giggle (video)

The first thought that comes to mind is...DONT ASK!!!

I have no idea why Rylen finds it funny but everytime I talk to him in this stupid voice he giggles. Andrew says it sounds creepy but Rylen seems to love it.

The things we do for our children!

Rylen has finally started saying "mum" again...YA!!!!!!

Monkey's love their bananas!!!
