Granny and chocolate cake!!

My granny came out to our house while my mom was here, I just love her so much! She is such a great woman and I am so grateful that my children know who she is. This is only 6 of her 17 great grandchildren (if I am counting right) She has taught me so much and has always done so much for her kids grandkids and great grandkids. What a wonderful blessing she is!!

I love to look at this blog bakerella.blogspot.com she has the most wonderful desserts on there. And she is very talented and creative I wish I could do half of what she does. I saw this and had to make it. It has peanut butter cups on the inside and out. The frosting is dark chocolate peanut butter and heavy cream.... so it is pretty much fat free!! It does'nt look that pretty mostly because I can never wait for a cake to cool before putting the frosting on!! It was sooo good but you could only eat one peice (thank goodness) way too rich! This is why I go to the gym.... so I can eat things like this and not feel too guilty. I love sugar way too much!

Hitting the Slopes

Our Brother and sister in law were so kind to treat us to a day of skiing at Powder mountain. We had such a blast.
Brian convinced Emily and I that we could go down a black diamond run with no problems.... WRONG!! We so obviously didnt belong that people on the ski lift above us were shouting "the green run is over there girls" and the ski patrol came and followed us down. All the while we had 10 yr olds zooming by us. Can you say embarrassing. It was still fun to say we did it. We rock Em.
Brian put the kids in Ski school, they had the greatest time. Brynleigh did'nt even need to have edgy wedgys she can't wait to go back. The boys did so great I was expecting to come back with them whining to go home, and I could'nt drag them out of there. Thanks Brian and Emily for the great day we owe ya!!

Snow and more Snow

I did not know it was going to snow today . Wyatt and I went out to play and shovel and Dad let us drive the tractor around a little but I don't think I was being very efficient so he took over! Not that it matters because it is all covered with snow again!
