We've had some birthdays -shout hooray!

Taylor's now 12! He is now a deacon! Where has time gone? He went golfing for his birthday. This cake was sooo good. If anyone ever needs a good chocolate cake recipe, I'll send it over.
Here he is in his new suit

Amy is now 8! This is her getting ready to take treats to school.


The untraditional birthday pie.




Amy had a cooking party. A lot of work, but very fun. The kids made their own pasta dishes, salad, and mini pies.

Our New Garden

I've been wanting a garden for a while now, but Dale didn't so I recruited the kids and even the neighbor's kids to dig the grass out - they loved it!
After Dale realized I was serious, he was kind enough to build some boxes and fill them with dirt. I'm programmed to want to plant around Mother's Day, but unfortunately Florida's growing season just ended and I'll have to wait until the fall for planting season to start again.

Quick trip to Utah

I took a quick trip to Utah to see Dale's sister in the Mrs. Utah pageant. She took 3rd place and swept the swimsuit competition - doesn't she look beautiful? I also surprised my mom for her birthday - she screamed and cried when she saw me because she didn't know I was coming. It was a very quick trip, but nice to see all of my family and some of Dale's too.
