Josh's New Motorcycle
Even though Josh just bought his motorcycle last year, he has been thinking about selling it and getting a new one. He got his previous bike for a really good price and was able to sell it for a substantial profit. After looking at several bikes, Josh finally decided to get this Honda CBR. He is excited for something new, and already has plans to modify it to make it the perfect motorcycle.

Soft Sugar Cookies and Buttercream Frosting
I've been looking for a new sugar cookie recipe for a while and finally found one from the girl who ate everything that is delicious! Try it out - you won't be disappointed!
1 cup sour cream
2 cups white sugar
1 cup butter
4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
6 cups flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine sour cream, sugar, butter, eggs, and vanilla. Mix well. Add dry ingredients until everything is mixed together. Let the dough chill in the fridge for 20 minutes or until firm. Roll it out and cut or whatever you want. Bake until LIGHT golden brown-no more than 10 minutes. When you take them out they will seem underdone but aren't. Let them cool on the pan and they will be perfect and moist. If you like harder and more crunchy just bake them a little longer.
Here is my favorite frosting recipe to go with the sugar cookies.
Buttercream Frosting (from Wilton's Cake Decorating Guide)
1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup butter, softened
4 cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk or water
1 teaspoon vanilla
Cream together the shortening and butter. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well. Add food coloring if desired.

Josh's Haircut
Josh has been needing a haircut for a while and decided this time he was going to get it cut differently than usual - so he went with a mohawk. It allows him to style his hair in a presentable manner for school things if needed, but he is able to wear it in a mohawk whenever he wants.

New TV
Josh and I have been thinking about getting a new TV for a while now, so when Josh found this 42" LCD television online in the classifieds for half price we knew we couldn't pass up the great deal! It's nice having a big TV to watch movies and television on and it fits perfectly in our living room.
