Families are Forever

When Laura was in town from BYU, we decided to do some familiy pictures. It had been a while since we had gotten a semi-coordinated family piciture, so it was time. I think overall, they turned out nice. I "picnik'd" some of the best photos. Picnik you might ask? It is one of the best kept secrets (unless you are in college and since I am around college girls all the time, I found out about it). You can upload pictures and add all sorts of effects, graphics, you name it. Plus, it's really user friendly. Here's some of the family photos.

Mother- Daughter Time

I took the day off as a mental-health day and spent the majority of it with my mom. We had so much fun! It was good to do errands at my leisure and then spend time with my mom. Although we may live close, we don't get to have Mother-Daugther time a lot. Here are some pictures of our day together.


Ezekiel Bread...in the works.


The finished product. It is so good, really easy and fun to make. We even ground our own ingredients in the wheat grinder. If you want the recipe, let me know.


We decided to make apple crisp while we were at it. She had some apples to use. I love baking!


I love my family so much and it was great to be able to spend some much needed one on one time with my mom.

Happy Birthday Tom!!

Today we celebrated Tom's 29th birthday! He's in the last year of his 20's! We went to dinner at Red Robin. Red Robin is a west coast thing but has made its way over here in a few places. He first ate there on his mission in Seattle, WA and it was love at first bite. It's his favorite burger joint. There is one at the Forsyth Avenues. They're known for their gourmet burgers and bottomless steak fries. Below is the cake I made for him...completely by scratch. It's one of our favorites. So moist and chocolatey!! I added reeces to the top for some variety.




I love you babe!!
