pancakes anyone?

Cooper’s favorite food are Pancakes.  He doesn’t just like them he LOVES them.  Every morning he comes out and ask for “pam-caks.”  It is so cute how he says it.  So one day Colby and I made him his own HUGE plate of pancakes.  Don’t they look yummy.  We also made some homemade syrup and put it in my Grandma Flake’s Cow (any cousin reading this has to remember the yellow cow).  They loved the cow and the pancakes.  It was so fun and delicious.  If you want to try our favorite pancake use the recipe below and make them.  I bet your going to want to make them right now they are sooooo yummy.  Here is also a really yummy syrup recipe without all the preservative, additives, high fructose corn syrup, etc. that the syrups you buy at the store have in them.  This recipe is a family favorite also.
