Ice Cream Cake

I finally put the ice cream cake recipe up on my family's recipe blog. Click here if you want to see it. There are pictures to go along with it, because honestly, how often do you skip over making something from a cookbook because you can't see what it looks like?

Easter Sunday

AD didn't get to go on the normal Easter egg hunt that she's used to from being at home, but Cal did hide a chocolate bunny for her to go find.

We tried multiple times to take a "sister" picture but Jordan had to get in there with his cheeser smile!

FINALLY!

Adrianne had a hard time being serious.

Even now she's half smiling...

The girlies.

My best friend

So proper...

...until I say something that makes them really mad.

I don't remember how it happened, but AD said "wipe me" about something, and Cal followed orders!! It was hilarious!

And I have to throw in a picture of Gracie, the crazy cat who loves playing around in water.

The Office Calendar Quotes:
Apr. 8th: "This is who I am now, a guy on a train with no answers. I hope that can be enough for you." -Michael
Apr. 9th: "All right, let me ask you this. Tell me if you think this is creative. When I was five, I imagined that there was such a thing as a unicorn. And this is before I even heard of one or seen one. I just drew a picture of a horse that could fly over rainbows and had a huge spike in its head. I was five, five years old . . . couldn't even talk yet." -Michael
Apr. 10th: "I keep various weaponry strategically placed around the office. I saved Jim's life with a can of pepper spray I had velcroed undder my desk." -Dwight
Aprl. 11th/12th: Michael: "I was under the impression that this was going to be a rap." Darryl: "What's rap?" Michael: "Ok, Darryl, wow. You need to learn a lot about your culture. I'll make you a mix."

Dyeing Easter Eggs

AD and I spent Easter at Auntie Cal's. We went over Saturday night and spent the night. That night we dyed our Easter eggs.

I did all the work while they posed for all the pictures.

Getting really excited about the dyeing.








She's so proud!


The eggs are looking at you!

My New Toy

This is my newest purchase. A 22" monitor. Work is going to be so much easier on the days I'm working from home.

I love the cute picture of Dylan on the screen. My little boy is growing up so much! And yes, I'm on facebook, chatting away with Leah, and yes, those are Office magnets on the back of my desk. I truly am addicted.

Moving...

There's been a lot of moving going on the last 2 weeks. I moved apartments the end of May. I'm sad that I'm not living with Erika anymore, but not much I can do about that. Her job was up in the air until 2 weeks before we moved out, so we couldn't really plan on anything because she didn't know what her situation would be like for a while there. I moved in with Amy, who I met through Becky. They were in the same ward. I don't realize how much stuff I have until I'm trying to pack it up and move it. It's a little ridiculous, but I can't seem to part with any of it!

AD's moving out of her apartment, too. It's the end of the semester and she's going to go home. So I've been helping her move some stuff into my TINY storage unit while she's gone for the summer.

I pulled out all my DVD cases to pack them up. I guess I like movies.



Caging the wild beast... I mean, putting my bed in place. (Gotta love having the bed that's been in the family since before you were born!)

I'm a master at fitting stuff into a 5x5 storage unit. We'll be able to fit so much more of AD's stuff!

Becky, thanks for all of your help!! You were a life saver. And Amy, thanks for putting up with me and all my stuff all over the apartment before I finally got it organized!

Babysitting a Cutie!

Aunt Cathy and Uncle Gary, and Jeff and Kelli and kids were in town last weekend. One night they all went to the Real Salt Lake soccer game. AD and I babysat Addie for them that night. She wasn't too happy about mommy leaving, but she finally warmed up to us for a little bit. She is definitely a cutie!!

April Fools!

I never really participate in April Fools jokes. I'm not creative enough. However, we had to do something at work to keep ourselves entertained. M.C. and Becky decided to take a huge plant from one of the break rooms and put it on Kurt's desk. In response, Kurt took Becky's frog (a stressball with a gooey inside) and dissected it while Becky was in a meeting. He also unplugged everything on her desk. And then we didn't want Margaret, who was working from home that day, miss out on the fun. So we cut her plant down all the way! So we really aren't THAT horrible, because the plant was really mine, and it was just a sad little thing, and I had wanted to throw it away so she tried to help it get better. It wasn't, so I feel no remorse whatsoever for cutting the plant. I uploaded all the pictures and posted them on the respective persons Facebook walls. We definitely had some good fun in the office that day... maybe a little too much!
