Pecans anyone?!?

It's been drizzling pecans for the last month or so, and apparently this is only the beginning! We've had fun picking them up and yesterday Brent bought a nut cracker so we could harvest some! He and Champ sat on the porch shelling pecans for about an hour yesterday and we used some to make pecan chocolate chip cookies! The first time I have pulled out my KitchenAid and make cookies in this house!! And as a wife!!! haha

our harvest

crackin' away

Champ supervising, but really just wanting Brent to throw his ball.
 **We have a feeling there have been MANY pecans shelled on this front porch!**

all halved up!

The awesome cookbook Rhonda gave us. We've loved cooking out of it so far.

I've missed this thing!

About to be baked

cooling off (Brent already ate half of them)

and into the cookie jar!
