school

Yay! I'm so excited that I can say I'm a student at BYU! I started class last week and I'm only taking 2 night classes.  Tap and Weight Lifting!
They are both going to be so much fun! Good classes to help me get back into the swing of things!

Our Christmas card 2011

donuts!

For Christmas I got an awesome babycakes donut maker! (Thanks mom!)
So I tried it out yesterday and I made some really good doughnuts!

I used a recipe that my family uses to make Danish Pastry Puff and I thought hey why not put in here and try it!

Ingredients:

1 stick butter (has to be butter NOT margarin)
1 C water
1 tsp almond flavoring
1 C flour
3 eggs

In a large pot boil butter and water to a rapid boil.  Add almond and remove from heat.  Add flour immediately and stir till dough comes together.  Add one egg at a time and mix together.
I put the dough in a zip lock bag and cut the tip off and filled the donut makers and cooked them for about 4-6 minutes, or until golden brown.

Frosting:

1 stick butter
1 lbs powdered sugar
4 Tbl milk
1 tsp almond flavoring

Mix all ingredients together. Then frost the donuts and enjoy!

Goodbye 2011 Hello 2012

We were in St. George for New Years Eve.  We had fun just hanging out and playing games with my family.
The city decided not to do a party this year so David, James and I went to lower Denny's for some snacks and to have fun.

We got James a quesadilla, something he normally loves, but instead he decided that he was going to eat just the barbecue sauce.  Whatever floats your boat kid! Oh and we also got him his very own soda! A first for him!

We had the count down every shouted and cheered and James thought it was fun and joined in the fun!
After that of course he was getting sleepy so we went back home.

James fell asleep on the table cuddled up with Grandpa

2011 was a fun year and I really enjoyed watching James grow and seeing his personality really start to shine through. David and I have had a blast and can't wait to see what 2012 has in store for us!
