Yes, we're alive

Okay its been a long while but here I am with not a lot to talk about. Its probably much easier to blog when you have children to talk about and blog about with waiting aunties and nanny annies and grumpas to look at them. But here is my exciting-ness. I'm baking again. I used to LOVE to back and now I am back at it. I made sugar cookies a couple of weeks ago and they were AMAZING. the best ones i've made ever in my life. You are supposed to use almond extract in the glaze but we were out. So I used lemon and it worked out quite nicely in my opinion. Then saturday was my mother in laws birthday so I made her a cake and we headed up to Malad with it. The recipe said to make it in a 9x13 pan but I really wanted a circular, layered cake so I made it  and wow did it fail. The picture I took is of the 4 inches that actually turned out. the rest was horrific to look at. Its a carmel cake and the Semrads and Daysa said it was really good I don't like cake at all so I only tried it and thought it was extremely too rich. But I did get a cake carrier out of my temper tantrum of the disastrous cake.

Hopefully I'll have exciting things to post about soon. My once a month posting is much better than my previous blog.
