Over the River and Through the Woods...

Grandma and Grandpa Baldwin (my mom and dad) recently sold their house in Rigby and moved to Blackfoot. (the Rose area to be more specific) They finally have everything to the new house and are getting settled in. It is an awesome house with lots and lots-and lots and lots- of room for all of us to come and visit! They've done quite a bit of remodeling, new carpet, paint, and that sort of thing. Everything turned out really beautiful! We've spent lots of hours helping and have really enjoyed hanging out with my parents, finally able to give them some help instead of the other way around! I'll never be even with them though-they are always so willing to lend a hand! I am so blessed to be their daughter. They are great grandparents to my kids and such good examples to their family. We all love and appreciate you Mom and Dad!

Grandma makes the best chocolate chip cookies! McKoy usually asks almost daily two questions: #1: Are we going to Grandma's today? and #2: Is she making cookies? She is so nice too-all anyone has to do is mention her cookies and the next thing you know she standing at her Bosch mixing up a triple batch of them! Here's some of the grandkids with spoonfuls of the coveted stuff....

fun pictures! You are on the ball with your blog posts. We have also loved helping mom/dad. We would have to move them like 10 more times to ever pay them back for all the help they have given us. By the way aren't we starting our own moving company Brut?

Your parents are great! Your mom does make the BEST cookies! Is the recipe a family seceret or is it up for grabs?

It sounds like a beautiful new house! We'll be excited to see it! And yes...your mom's chocolate chip cookies are the best-it always seems like she has them on hand to give out and we LOVE it!
