Craving

Wally's mom had shared these cupcakes with us a while back, and I had been craving them, and so I bought all the ingredients and made them! Many steps and take time, but well worth it! As you can tell, the top frosting needed to be a little refrigerated before putting it on (thanks to Texas weather), but I couldn't wait!


Oh, I regret forgetting the ingredient that gives it the final touch.... a piece of caramel on the top!

Conference weekend

On that Saturday, we went to some friends house to watch and listen to conference. The kids paid more attention while playing bingo with "smarties" (candy). So on Sunday, we were going to watch conference supposedly, on the internet through our wii system, due to no cable anymore. But it was unsuccessful because of the video streaming or something. So I thought we could watch it on my iPad, but it was not coming up successfully and fast. Then I told Wally to bring the PC so we could hook it up on the TV. By then, we ended up needing our keyboard, mouse, speakers, and for some reason Wally brought the monitor too.
So, the picture below is to show that at a certain point, 3 screens were working fine with conference showing. I thought it deserved a picture! Weston enjoying it on the computer monitor, Wally and Noah on the iPad, and me watching it on the TV.


 Our Conference bingo worked great with jelly beans, and I don't know for other people, but my kids totally paid attention to conference! We had a very good time, and listened, and learned, and it was probably the best time of all the conference sessions we have watched at home in the past years.

Blue bonnets


A texas tradition, I will call it, to take pictures at the blue bonnets fields.... But we still had not done it! Procrastination... bad, bad. So, Whitni called me one morning and asked if we could meet in about an hour or so at the blue bonnets! What?! Ok, let's do it. Hurry, find somewhat coordinated shirts, get in the car and go. Luckily I had the car. So after all the many, these are a quick selection of some that I liked. Fun time!
