Paradise and its cookies

This is my favorite treat. Warm Chocolate Chip Cookies and a huge class of cold milk. Recently, Anne and Emily have kindly introduced me to a place called Paradise Bakery. They make the best chocolate chip cookies ever! Nice and soft, so soft that they basically just melt in your mouth, just the right amount of chocolate and the size is, well, perfect. The other day I went there to get a sandwhich, that comes with a cookie- might I add- and do some work on the internet. They were giving out free samples of differnet kinds of cookies, and of course I helped myself. This picture is not what their cookies look like, but they sure look good. Thanks my dear sisters for introducing me to this heavenly bakery. I always want a Paradise cookie.

ANGIE- I am so glad that I married into a wonderful family. You are so kind to me and you have been there for anything that we have needed. You are so thoughtful and generous. Thank you for all you do for us now, and thank you for raising a wonderful son. I love you. Happy Mother's day.

David Archuleta!

Yes. Yes. He is here in Salt Lake and I got to see him this morning. There were THOUSANDS of people there, girls screaming and chasing him. He had like five policemen around him as girls were tugging at his sweater, and yelling "we love you David!" He was so cute. Here are a few pics a I got from up above.
