Birthday Cake and Blessings!



So, I am making my birthday cake for tonight...Yes, I am making my own cake, but Justin works all day, Jaicie is in school and Felicity is just not interested...oh and the girls can't do it on their own. But regardless, I am making my birthday cake. I decided that I LOVE the Crisco bars. I don't know what else to call them or how long they have been out. But they are by far the best way to use crisco. No more measuring cups, measuring spoons, no way, I am cutting it with a knife and calling it a day! I had never used it before, but it is so much cleaner and easier and yeah, I am a big fan. So, if you are out buying crisco any time soon, you should definitely buy this instead of the big can. 

Aside from birthday cakes, we have a lot going on this weekend. We are finally getting the chance to bless Collin this weekend. Justin's parents and his oldest brother and family are coming into town tonight. My dad and Grandpa come in tomorrow night.  We have a few friends coming to the blessing and we are really excited about it. We bought him the cutest little blessing suit and I will post a bunch of pictures on Monday. (or maybe Sunday, depending how on the ball we are!) Collin is 4 1/2 months old and is growing unbelieveable fast. He is still our litle chunky monkey, and we sure love him!

Report Cards

I just wanted to write a quick note specifically to Jaicie. 

She got her first report card yesterday.  She did so well and I just want to say how proud I am of her. She got excellent remarks from her teacher and was able to do everything that she is supposed to be doing. They do report cardsin kindergarten a little different than they did when I was growing up. They grade on a scale of 3. S is satisfactroy something or other. It means that the skill is mastered I think is what it was. E is that the skills are emerging. And N (or maybe M) means that the skills have not been learned. Jaicie got all S's on the whole list. And check marks all the way down the list of items she has been working on, letters, numbers, colors, shapes, etc. I am so proud of her and wanted to make sure she knows that. I Just hope that I tell her often enough how well she is doing and that she continues to think School is amazing. 

Anyway, Congratulations to Jaicie and good job on your work in Kindergarten!

OOHhhhh! That was awesome!

Recipe Organizer

I recently began using this software for organizing my recipes. It is great!  It allows me to create my own recipe book that has all of my own recipes in it, plus it comes with its own book of recipes!  It is great! You should take a look at the product!  Use the following link: 

Cook'N Recipe Organizer It is a really nice way to organize all the recipes you have and cut out some of the notebooks that everything is stored in! You can create shoping lists, and menu plans and everything!  Check it out!
