Our Favorite Missionaries

We have loved our missionaries out here, they're all incredible! Great examples, furthering our Missionary efforts, and strengthening our testimonies. It's been fun to have so much time feeding them-in Utah we hardly ever saw them.

Emily Schlerf's Sugar Cookies

This is the ultimate, best recipe for sugar cookies, given to me by my sweet neighbor at Ricks College. Dorm 2 anyone? Try them, and let me know if you agree...or if you know her! It's the only one we use, it wins all taste tests hands down.

2 cups sugar
1 cup butter
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup sour cream
6 1/2 cups flour
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt

Mix sugar, butter eggs. Alternate adding sour cream with dry ingredients to the sugar mixture. Blend really well. Chill in refrigerator for about an hour. Roll out 1/4 inch thick, cut with cookie cutters. Bake at 375 for 6-8 minutes on ungreased cookie sheet. Don't overbake! Let cool on cookie sheet or wire rack. Frost with cream cheese frosting. (Mine is on the cinnamon roll recipe).

A favor:

Here's some pictures of Monte's favorite toys! They are all discontinued, but they are usually readily available at D.I.'s. And for so cheap! Ebay has a few occasionally, but they can't beat DI's prices. Or maybe you have some that your kis have outgrown. So, the game is on! We will reimburse all costs, shipping,toys, ect, and bribe you with all kinds of presents, ect! He so rarely falls in love with new toys, and these have been tried and true favorites. They've gotten him through so many ups and downs...but they're starting to break on us!

Since we don't have DI's or even thrift stores with them, we're relying on the sweetspirit of service and love. Can you help us? The toys are mostly Fisher price, there's two different pianos, a drum, a star stacker, a fishbowl, a cookie jar, a square shape sorter, a monkey flashlight, a tiger flashlight, a bert, ernie,or cookie monster (when you shake them their head open and closes). Bonus points for the ABC mirror toy, it's nearly impossible to find! (And I can't find any identifying labelson it). The Boyles gave him a Milestone alien looking fabric toy that somehow got lost during our move...and we miss it a lot!

Also, any Fisher Price musical toys, he loves, loves, loves them! Hmm, and Piper is very into Little People right now, and only has a few people/animals. Thank-you, and we love you!
