Birthday Cake

We had a delicious birthday cake for Paul on Sunday. I think he really liked having his birthday on Easter. We didn't have any candles, so I put toothpicks in the cake and lit them on fire.
Ellie did not like it when we sang "Happy Birthday".
Dallin likes to have 10 forks, knifes, and spoons with every meal.

Lame-OOO! My soap box!


On soap box: When you live in a small town and Wal-Mart is your only option as far as craft stores go...and they decided to get rid of embroidery floss, and eventually all "stitchery" items, including cheap fabric---I call that lame-OOO! Closest floss is a 15 minute drive. As for fabric, we do have a fabric shop down town. But, to be perfectly honest, the fabric is ugly. The shop owner, who has always been very nice to me, just doesn't understand that there is a market for fabrics that are cute and modern. Maybe I should introduce her to Michael Miller! Off soap box.


Yumm.....


We finally used a gift certificate (circa 2006) to Williams-Sonoma. This is the beauty that came home with us. My sister, Kodi, got one for her wedding and loves it. Paul and I love it too! It is a Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker and it ROCKS!!! You can have ice cream made from start to finish in about 30 minutes!

Here's what we've made so far...

Our favorites:
Chocolate Cinnamon Pecan Gelato
White Chocolate Peach-Berry Pudding

So-so:
Fat-free Chocolate Frozen Yogurt

Tastes like Medicine:
A mix of Strawberry-Orange-Banana Crystal Light and Evap. Milk

We have yet to make real ice cream in it, but we are having fun experimenting!
