A slice of chocolate decadence!
I think she likes to bake so she can lick the bowl!
(no those are not fake lashes, no she didn't get them from me!)
Doesn't he look happy to be in there?
After every baby I have something major happens, maybe I should stop having baby's!!
First was Annalyse and 2 months latter was 9/11. I had just bought tickets to go up to Utah the day before, so I was a little scared to fly after that.
Next was Zander and 3 months latter it was Katrina.
And now there is Madden and 3 months latter my sister passed away and we have a huge hurricane about to hit the coast of Texas. Coincidence? My luck? Another challenge to over come? I don't know, but I better stop before the world falls apart! the first two didn't directly impact me, but still, after each child there has been something huge that happened!
And today being 9/11 I was just reminded of all of those things.
Life is still good though, I have beautiful healthy children, a wonderful husband, a nice house to live in(even if it is in TX!), and of course the gospel of Jesus Christ.

On a way different note, Annalyse is loving 2nd grade! She always says she had a great day at school. She is also wanting to learn to bake and cook, which is happy for me to see, wanting to be like her mom!
We made the quad. chocolate cake again yesterday after school, it is just to good and I was still craving it, so made it again! I made some into cupcakes and they came out in a yummy little snack size, to tempting to just sit there, had to eat 3 before dinner, ooops!, I mean its okay because I'm the mom and an adult and can do what I please! DO what I say not as I do children! ( I let A have one :)And we got the high chair out of the attic, cleaned it up and plopped the big boy into it and he enjoyed being up high and watching all of the action! Hope it will help when I am trying to clean the kitchen or make dinner!
Again this weekend is going to be a bust! It is supposed to rain hard all day Sat. and Sun. So now I have to think of something indoors to do, besides nothing! I would go to the movies but there is nothing I am really wanting to see. Shopping isn't as fun when you cant buy the size you want to be, and you have kids in tow. Could rent some movies but we always do that. Any ideas? O000 maybe I will be able to go four wheeling in the mud!!! And get all muddy!! Don't ask me why that is so exciting for me! It just really sounds like fun!
The bebe is calling me so I have to stop typing and go tend to his needs, probably wants some milk, I'm telling you he has an addiction to that stuff, might have to do an intervention or something!!!

Ok....I had enough of looking at that yummy cake so I had to make it. Man O'live.....that is the best cake ever. I used Hershey's Special Dark cocoa and WHOA! Delish. My family thanks you for adding that to our plethera of desserts. Rhett said I should open a bakery. So Cara, you should move to Ohio and we could open a fabulous bakery together. You can make the pastries and cakes and I will make the muffins and granola. :) Oh and I have the best recipe for hot chocolate too. It would be a happening bakery. Only in my dreams. We will just have to pretend we have bakeries and bake all the time so we can eat delicious goods all the time.
Ha, I love how much you love 4 wheeling in the mud!! We really need some nice, muddy pics of you...preferably with M in the sling!! That's awesome that Annalyse is into baking, how fun to be able to share your love of that with her. And everyone knows that cupcakes have waaaay fewer calories than a similar sized piece of "real" cake, so no worries!
