What You Have All Been Waiting For

I have had a really busy week so it has taken awhile for me to get around to blogging about our good news. I had my ultrasound on Monday. Here is a picture of our little bundle of joy.

And the really exciting news is that the baby is a girl! We have our little girl. I'm excited to have a new experience. It will be fun to see how the boys interact with her. We are very happy, and can't wait to see her!

Fun Cake

Tonight the Young Women in our ward are having a dinner and a cake auction to earn money for girls camp this summer. Since I am one of the leaders, and because I love to bake I decided to make a cake to donate to the cause. Normally I would make a plain old cake and decorate it with homemade frosting, but this time I decided to do something a little different. I didn't have the time to meticulously decorate it, and I didn't want the leftover frosting around to tempt me. I don't normally take a risk by doing something new when it is for someone else, but I'm glad I took the chance. I think it turned out well.


This is a Neapolitan cake. It is a vanilla, strawberry, and chocolate cake. On the top is some powdered sugar, white chocolate, pink white chocolate, and semi-sweet chocolate drizzled on top. I will probably have to try it again someday so I actually get to see what it tastes like. It was fun to make, and pretty easy.

Zachary's Birthday Pictures

Better late than never I guess. I was sick most of February, so I never got around to posting these, but as promised here are some pics from Zachary's birthday.
