Baptism Day

Kaden had a wonderful baptism day.

His daddy baptized him.

Kaden had his two grandmas, his grandpa and lots of cousins and aunts and uncles there to support him.


We are sure glad Kaden is part of our family... how blessed we are.

Easy and Yummy

German Chocolate Cupcakes
Easy and Yummy! once again my two favorite words together.

I used my favorite gheradelli base for the chocolate cupcake
Melt 2 sticks of butter
add 2 bars of 100% Ghirardelli chocolate bars till melted
Set aside to cool a bit.

Cream together:
5 eggs
3 Cups Sugar
1 tsp vanilla

Then add Chocolate Mixture
Finally add:
1 1/2 cups Flour
1 tsp salt

Consistency will be thick.
Here is the part that is really easy... go to the store and buy your favorite German Chocolate icing, spread on top. Awesome right?



For the Frosting
Bittercream Frosting
1 pint heavy cream
11.5 oz. 60% Bittersweet cacao chips
½ c. butter
4-5 c. powdered sugar


Pumpkin Spice Brownie Bites

Recipe From: http://insidebrucrewlife.blogspot.com/2010/09/pumpkin-spice-brownie-bites.html
I pkg brwonie mix.. make it up and let it cool
pumpkin spice hershey kisses
1 bag semi-sweet chocolate chips

After brownies have cooled cut into squares. put kiss in middle then mush the brownie into a ball around the kiss. Put into freezer. Melt your chocolate, take balls out of freezer, and dip. Yup, it's that easy. Then you can melt any other kind of chocolate or in my case butterscotch chips and drizzle on top for looks. Ooohhh so yummy.

It's Great to Be Eight

My Kaden turned eight. He is such a good boy. For his birthday we had a cowboy party.

Aunt Ashley was so nice and brought her miniature horse for the kids at the party to ride.

with star sheriff badge sugar cookies, an oreo cake per request of the birthday boy, and ice cream the kids were plenty sugared up.
we also nailed a horse shoe to a board and let them paint it. Roping competitions and a few games before the hamburgers were served, this made for a crazy but fun eighth birthday party with like 18 kids in attendance. gotta love Birthdays.

My handsome Kaden gets baptized tomorrow into The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints by his father, we are so proud of him.
