While the baby sleeps...
Look what I made today!
It isn't really all that impressive, we are trying to work through some of our old food storage and I found I have a ton of cake mixes. Hence, Cake Cookies. These ones I didn't have a 1/3 cup measuring cup, so I added too much oil and they are really flat. I put a little icing in the middle and doubled them up. I'm also testing out my skills with icing tips. (I think most store bought icing is nasty by-the-way.)
I also took a picture of this:
for cuteness.
I especially liked the juxtaposition of these two good things I have made lately.

EASTER
Last year I found a Paas dye kit on sale that allowed you to create monsters. I just couldn't turn down the idea of creating little monster eggs to find. Turns out I must have known we were going to have a little boy all along :). We dyed eggs with the inlaws on Sat. I think these are a few of the really good ones.
The inlaws did an awesome job of filling up big eggs for us to find. Graham was the only little kid, but he was pretty good at finding those eggs if you ask me. Here we all are with our haul. (I ate most of Graham's candy yesterday... it felt sooo good to be so sick from eating candy ;) ).
We still aren't sure if there might be an egg or two hiding out in the back yard. Ojiichan says it is pretty normal to be mowing during the summer and have one or two fly out! I'm just hoping I don't have to smell it when/if it happens!

FYI: this happened before the 2 month dr's visit! I'm just a slow blogger.
Graham had the cutest outfit my sister let me borrow! Unfortunately I never got around to doing a photo shoot. We did get a few shots of him on the day of:
Both the boys were not very excited, but Graham was a rock star for the blessing. Sean did a great job and didn't do anything wacky like name him Jehosifat.
We had a nice brunch at Grandma's big house, and both sides of the fam were able to come.
(p.s. Graham just woke up. typing with one hand is slow so pardon the short phrases and lack of capitals)
I turned 25 this year and had a weird birthday. My mom's present still hasn't shown up (if one of the clan took it there will be fireworks). I went to a lunch with the "clan" that really was for Sean's uncle (I was feeding Graham in another room while they sung happy birthday). We also did cake and ice cream with the inlaws (and again I was in the other room feeding Graham while they sung happy birthday). I did plan a bbq with Nater and got my own cake etc. I decided to go pretty unique for my own little dessert, and I made Nate, Kim, kids, and Sean sing to me during half-time of the BYU bball game.
(Yes, there is a giant donut on top.)
We also went out to Tucanos earlier in the month for Sean's, mine, and Sean's mom's bday. It was great, but all in all pretty weird. All my days seem to focus around Graham now... even my birthday... and I wouldn't have it any other way. He is the bomb. Sean's birthday was also pretty mellow and I didn't even get out the camera. He got a sweet leather jacket (that we had to send back to get the right size) and I forced him to go out to dinner even though he wasn't really hungry. (It's a rough life.)
