I love my husband

I am so grateful for my husband and best friend Jacob. He works so hard for our family and I am so proud of him for working toward his dream of becoming a nurse and getting his bachelors degree for nursing. He is one of the strongest people I know and he is so sincere and loving. He takes such good care of Sam and I. I could not have asked for a better husband and father to my children. He makes me laugh and always knows just what to say when I am having a bad day. I love that he is a family man and he loves the gospel.  I just want him to know how proud of him I am and how much I love him.

I know this is an older picture of us, but I love it!

Here is a picture of the Molten Lava Cake! Perfection!

Molten Lava

So I am in love with baking. I love to try new recipes, and I am currently wanting to start to learn how to decorate cakes (you know with like fondont and sugar flowers and stuff...). And because I am poor and probably will never go to pastry school, I am going to teach myself. But that is not what this post is about. A while back my hubby and I tried to make a molten lava cake. We FAILED! I didn't realize how hard these amazing little cakes were to make. So, a couple days ago, we decided to try again, I browsed the foodnetwork website and found one recipe from Paula Deen, I love her (except her accent kinda annoys me) but she is brilliant. SO we tried this recipe and it turned out perfect! I was soooo excited! I couldn't believe that we had actually mastered these perfect little cakes! I didn't take a picture because by the time I realized that I wanted to document them, they were gone! I also recently mastered the art of Creme Brulee! GO ME!

Tuscon trip

Well lets start off saying that I have never been to Tuscon until this weekend! Lame, I know. But Jacob's parents invited us for a weekend of fun, so we went! We left Thursday night, and since it was only 2 hours away, we got there at a reasonable time. We stayed in the Westward Look Resort, which was quite amazing may I say. His parents got there kind of late, so Friday was the start of everything. Friday morning we got up and around 10:30 we went swimming. Sam LOVED it. We ended up staying in the pool until about 1, which resulted in some great sunburns. Haha. And then we went to Funtasticks. We did some bumper boats, bumper cars (which is not really bumper cars because you are not allowed to bump, so its just racing) and laser tag! And then we did 18 holes of goofy golfing! It was so fun! Friday we went to Reed Park, and for those of you that don't know, that is the zoo. They had a polar bear, which was cool. Sam really liked the ducks and the monkeys and the elephants. Then we went to the Mall and then headed home. But it was a great family trip, much needed. Hopefully I will get pictures soon (my camera wasn't working, so my father in law and mother in law took all the pictures. So once I get them, I will certainly post! Here are two pictures of Sam that I took while we were in Tuscon!

This was right before the zoo. We had just got done with breakfast.

His new sunglasses. Pretty rad right?

21st Birthday! July 9

Well today is my husbands birthday! Whoo hoo! He is now 21! So I asked him this morning what he wanted for dinner and he was like hmmmmm mexican or steaks, of course he chose steaks so that he could grill them :) Too bad he has to work on his birthday, but oh well. He also told me that he wanted to have peanut butter cupcakes with peanut butter frosting (if you can't tell, he loves peanut butter!). I then convinced him that peanut butter on peanut butter was too much peanut butter. So I am instead making him chocolate cupcakes with peanut butter frosting (much better...).

Jacob's parents got him a grill. So it is his new favorite toy! And then next weekend we are going to Tuscon!

Happy Birthday Babe!
