Temple Square Lights

We went and saw the amazing lights on Temple Square last week. The weather was perfect and the lights were gorgeous - as always.

Happy Holidays!

A look at what we have done this year!

Yummy!!

So, I really needed a treat tonight and I decided to make caramel corn. Which is funny, because while it is good, I don't usually crave it or want bunches of it. Tonight, something was up, I wanted it. Thanks to Traci for an easy recipe, I whipped it up really quickly. It satisfied my crave. Now, I probably will have to give the rest away because I have had my fill. But it was yummy.

Birthday Cake

So, even though his birthday isn't technically for 4 more days, we had the party. I made the cake (cupcakes). I love how it turned out! He didn't love the sticky frosting and tried to shake it off his hands, but he loved the cake, and wasn't even that messy.

Quiet Book

I have been working for months on a quiet book for my nephew's birthday. We celebrated a few days early and that time would have been useful. I was up late trying to get it finished, but I finally got it done. Just in the nick of time. Here are some pictures from the project. I am loving how it turned out, but man --- that is a lot of work!!!

INCREDIBLE!!

We discovered this little restaurant by our house a couple of months ago. It is delicious!!! It is a cute little house that serves up delicious treats. We have gone a few times. It probably isn't on the weight loss menu, but it is a great little indulgence once in a while. The Cherub is our favorite. (Milk chocolate cake with milk chocolate frosting.) We are waiting to try The Brooklyn Blackout, but they only make that on the weekends. Another reason we must go back. However, they have a cazookie that is amazing too. If you are wanting a sweet little treat, I highly recommend this quaint little place!! Already, I can't wait to go back!

There is no place like home...

So, my summer has been busy, busy but I love it. For three weeks I came home on Saturday and left for another trip on Monday. I love keeping busy and going places has been so much fun. After returning home from California, I went home. All the girls were home, the boys had to stay and work. We just chilled and had fun.


He is getting so big. He is cute to play with and loves family.
He was a trooper for the long drive!!
