My Hubby ROCKS!

Okay, so my birthday wasn't the greatest...MOST of the day.  I didn't feel good, I had to get a chest x-ray (how fun!)...just what every girl wants for her birthday, right?  I wanted to stop at a bakery and just get a little cake for my birthday because I didn't feel like making my own birthday cake. Doug said nothing was open.  I was like, whatever.

Well.  After we got home, Doug and Jacob made me a cake.
And it was perfect.  It was super moist chocolate cake, and he used the peppermint frosting I had gotten on clearance at Christmas.  He hates peppermint. : )  He made little cake pops for himself and Jacob without the peppermint, although Jacob DOES likes the peppermint.
I mean, LOOK at that face.  (He's trying to cover up the "bite" I had taken before I got my camera!)  They were so proud. Jacob wanted to make the heart shape, and they decorated it with snowmen and snowflakes.  And the icing says "Happy" on the top left, "Birth" on the top right, and "Day" at the bottom.  Then the middle says "Love U Mom"... see the U under the heart?  I didn't see it right away, but how precious!

And for dinner, he made me home-grown sirloin steak and snowcrab legs.  He said they just jumped in the cart at the store...Snow crab is the only crab I like... And I LOVE it!  PLUS he made his famous twice-baked potatoes.

And this weekend he's been cleaning the pantry.  He knows it's been driving me crazy, but I can't move everything.  My arms give out.  It's looking AMAZING.  It's absolutely wonderful.

No one is perfect, but MY HUBBY is perfect for ME.

Thankful

Yesterday Karen and Kerry came over with Kerry's daughter Emma..
Playing hide and seek....Not sure who was seeking.....

.it was SO awesome to see them again.  Since Emma started pre-school and Karen started working part time, we don't see each other every week like we used to...and man, how I miss that!!  Miss Karen makes beautiful cakes....Check out her blog here.

THE yummiest chocolate cake with raspberry filling!!!
It was awesome.  Wonderful visit.  Plus Karen brought some meals AND made supper for us....Taco Cupcakes.  (No, not really cupcakes...)  She found the recipe on Pinterest!!

I'm so behind on my jewelry, so that's what I'm doing today...working like a madwoman. 

I will post pictures on my facebook page when I'm done.....Having a special right now (I'm going to extend it):  Buy one item at $15.00 or more, and get a second item of equal or lesser value at 50% off!!

Really Cute Cake and Other Cute Pics

So I made this cake today for Doug and Jacob...it's supposed to look like a giant bowl of candy... But it's really a cake in there! I got it from Lindsay's Kitchen. My hubby's 2 FAVORITE candy bars are Kit Kat and M&M's. Okay, so technically M&M's aren't candy bars, but you know what I mean!


Anyway.....here's how it turned out....

Interesting, eh? I thought it was supposed to look like a giant cupcake, but it doesn't. It's kinda cute though!
Anywho....here's what we did this weekend:
Oh, and have you ever seen anyone use a rototiller IN a wheelbarrow????? Not me!



And finally, LOOK at this FACE!!!

Love Changes Everything by Micah Berteau - A Book Review

If you're not familiar with the story of Hosea and Gomer in the Bible, it's really quite shocking.  Here's my brief synopsis...
