I saw this recipe on Pinterest!!! Can't wait to try it!!!

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecake Bars

Ingredients:
Crust
1 1/2 Cups graham cracker crumbs
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
5 tablespoons butter, room temp
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup flour
2/3 cup chocolate chips

Cheesecake Filling:
10 oz cream cheese, room temperature
1/4 cup sugar
1 large egg, room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Directions
Preheat the oven to 325. Line a 8"square baking pan with parchment paper or foil allowing a little overhang and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Mix the melted butter and graham cracker crumbs until thoroughly combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of the pan. Bake in preheated oven for 6 minutes. Remove to a cooling rack. Leave your oven on while you prepare the dough.
While the crust is cooling, prepare the chocolate chip cookie dough. In the bowl mix butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, salt and vanilla until smooth and thoroughly combined, about 1 minute. Mix in the flour on low speed, and mix until just incorporated. Mix in the chocolate chips. Set aside
In another bowl cream together the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Mix in the egg and vanilla on low speed. Pour the cheesecake batter into the prepared crust. Using your hand to form clumps, distribute the cookie dough onto the top of the cheesecake batter in teaspoon-sized clumps. be sure to use all of the dough.
Bake for about 30 minutes, until the top feels dry and firm and the entire pan looks set. Move bars to a cooling rack and allow to cool completely. Chill in refrigerator overnight or for at least a couple of hours.

Samee's Trip to California

Samee's favorite part of the trip....the BEACH!

The girls on the beach

You meet the strangest people on the streets of California!!!!

The girls got to go to Beauty and the Beast

All the gals at disneyland

Samee FINALLY got to go to the "Happiest Place on Earth" Disneyland! Her Drill Team got to perform there. She had the BEST TIME EVER! It was also her first time on an Airplane...it was quite an adventure. Her favorite part however, was the Beach. She loved it so much....she is truly my daugher...give me hot weather and water and a beach and I am in HEAVEN! One interesting bit of information was that the day the girls were supposed to go to the beach it was the day of the terrible earth quake and tsunami in Japan. They were not allowed to even get on the beach until later on that day and when they finally let them the waters were very very rough and the waves were quite high. They were only allowed to get in the water waist deep.

Student of the Month!!!!

2011-03-10T09:14:00.001-08:00

DIY

2011-03-06T13:43:00.001-08:00

BEFORE....

AFTER!

This was a LOVELY BRASS Chandelier!! I think it is about time we update the "Smoke Alarm!" hehehehehe

For the past month Eddie has been doing a little DIY at our house. We really needed to update all of our many BRASS light fixtures but to change all that we wanted too was going to cost quite a bit of money. Our little friend at Home Depot suggested that we spray paint them instead. Well it was the best idea. Love the difference it has made and for about $15.oo we changed 8 lights!!! Three of them were ceiling fans and one chandelier! Good job Eddie!!!!!

This is what time we left!!! Yes we are crazy!

Today was our FAVORITE shopping day of the year! I think Lindsey likes this day better than Christmas morning! Our shopping experience started off with 10:00 PM Thursday night when Lindsey and Samee waited in a VERY LONG LINE at Toys R Us for some great deals, we then picked them up on the curb in front of LIndsey's house at 3:oo AM. When we pulled up Lindsey had a blinking red light attached to her sweatshirt so that we could find her in a crowd!!!! We waited in a very long line in VERY COLD WEATHER at Target to begin our experience but it was all worth it!!! We got some great deals and laughed ALOT! It was Haley's first time and it started off a little scarey she was NOT enjoying the cold but it got alot better!!!! Jenny kept us laughing with her excitement of her GOOD DEALS! Haley also gave us all a code word and sign if we were lost in the millions of people!! hehehehehe I loved this day! Spending the day with your daughters is the best but having your sister along too makes it even better!!!!! GREAT DAY!

One of my favorite memories as a child is of being picked up by my Mom and Dad in the "M.R." (that is what we called our very interesting Motor Home) on the Friday before the big Deer Hunt to go camping with Grandma's and Grandpa's and cousins, fully packed with Various Halloween candies, Orange vests and lots of food to go DEER HUNTING! This fun tradition sadly has pretty much died out but this weekend we came awfully close!!!!! It is definetley not the same...everyone comes up at different times, and there is really not any deer but we did have a great time this weekend hunting with the boys and listening to conference. The fall colors were beautiful. I actually started out my weekend by going to Park City shopping with the girls. It was so fun I love to shop! After we returned we headed up to camp with the family. It was a very busy weekend but very fun!!!
(Pictures of the shopping day will be coming....I of course forgot my camera that day!)

Today my Hubby surprised me with the best SURPRISE I have ever had in my LIFE!!! On Monday June 21st it is our 25thWedding Anniversary. He has been planning for some time this little event....... With a little help from his two side-kicks(Marietta and Samee) they totally had me convinced I was going to help him look for a work problem that had happened up by the temple. After quite a few fibs he had me talked into walking around the temple grounds why he "supposedly" was trying to get in touch with his work to get an address (lies, lies, lies,). He quickly walked me around to the back of the temple where he sat me down on a bench a proceeded to tell me how much he loved me......yes the tears were flowing!!!!!! And then for the big surprise he bought me a beautiful anniversary diamond!!!!!.....yes the tears were flowing!!!! After he placed the ring on my finger he then told me he had some special helpers and raised his hands up and SURPRISE.........Marietta and Samee POPPED out of the bushes where they had been hiding all that time taking pictures of the special event!!!!!! IT WAS THE BEST!!!!!! I still can't wipe the smile off my face! I have the most wonderful husband!!! 25 years ago I loved him but I really had no idea how much more I could LOVE HIM. He is kind, funny, loving, hard working, Great Dad, and he is my BEST FRIEND IN THE WHOLE WORLD!!!!!! We have grown up together, been through great times and helped each other through some hard times and because of all of that our love has grown stronger and stronger!!!!!!!!! Thank you for loving me!!!!! I LOVE YOU EDDIE~

Every year we look forward to the 24th of July here in Spanish Fork. Our city has a big celebration to remember the pioneers that settled here in Utah, and we celebrate being a PRUITT! Marietta always has quite a feast for us and it is always a good time! We started off our day with a delicious breakfast at the Fire Station. Then our long hot day continued with the parade! We are lucky that we have a fabulous place to watch the parade thanks to our fearless leader "Kenny" who has been a fireman in Spanish fork for many years and we get to sit there in the shade! We went to Marietta and Kenny's for our usual barbaque!!!!!!! It was so fun and soooo good! Even though it was 100 degrees we still had a great time! We love our Pruitt family!!!!!!

FORD FAMILY REUNION

2009-07-20T13:22:00.000-07:00

Every year since I was born we have attended our FORD FAMILY REUNION! It is an event that we look forward to every summer! My Grandfather's brothers and sisters and all of there families attend....needless to say it consists of about 250 people! We really dont talk to everyone or even know everyone all that well but we still have a great time with our own little Joe Ford family members! It is a tradition that is quite unique and maybe some think it is crazy but it is a large family that loves each other and wants to remain close and keep the family alive!! I bet my great Grandpa William is looking down on it and is amazed at how many of us are proud of our heritage and love to be together! We miss very much Grandpa Joe and Grandma Elvira it is not the same but we continue to plan every 3rd week in July is FORD REUNION TIME! We go to different spots in the Mountains that Great Grandpa would run his sheep and camp throughout the weekend. My favorite place to camp in the whole world is Wolf Creek......that is where it was this year. Every time we start to head up that canyon the memories start flowing of growing up spending many a Deer Hunt and camping trips with my family. THANK YOU MOM and DAD for making those memories for us!!!!!! Dad has taught us all to Love the Mountains especially that place!!!! I hope that my kids have those same feelings throughout there lives! I especially LOVE camping with my own brothers and sisters and Mom and Dad, kids, and my wonderful Husband!! He is the Man you want around in the mountains!!!! He can do anything, cut wood, pitch a tent, set up a trailer, and drive you all in the truck to roll rocks!!!! Fun was definetly had by all!!!!!! Just a little FYI.....Wedding pictures should be done next week, I will put them on as soon as we get them!

The Beautiful Bride!

It is certainly not that I dont want to show her off but I am "JUST A LITTLE BUSY!", but for Aunt Missy pretty much everyone in this household will do anything!!!!!!! Lindsey had so much fun taking these pics other than the large amounts of bugs and heat that was going on. I cant believe she is getting married....I keep telling everyone that she looks so young, forgetting that she is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was also a baby so I cant say to much! Well we will blog again AFTER the wedding!!

Other than a little wind and dust everything went just wonderful. The temple was so wonderful. I really do think the people there are angels from heaven....they are so sweet and helpful! The Mexican Fiesta turned out great. The weather was perfect and everyone visited and had a great time. Dallas and Haley were a little late but arent all Brides and Grooms late to there dinners.......:) The reception was beautiful!! We ALMOST had "inclement weather" but other than a few wind misshaps on the tables it turned out great. The dance at the end was without a doubt the favorite thing for most of us! Everyone really "Got there groove on!" Haley and Dallas were an absolutely gorgeous couple.....I think they really take after there parents!!!!:) Our first wedding experience was wonderful, having both sides of the family good friends really makes it the greatest! A big THANKS to the Swenson family for all of their help and hard work and love to make a great party!!!! Just a few minutes to take a breath.....and .......ROUND TWO! We are looking forward to Lindseys wedding in three weeks! We are all old pros at this by now....it should be no stress!!!!! hahhaha.
