More Fondant

Okay, I know that I talk about fondant all of the time, and you're probably sick of hearing about it, but I just wanted to show you a little comparison. Here is Emmaline's birthday cake last year, and here's the one from this year. I mean, it has been a year and I have gotten better, but I haven't improved that much since then, but the fondant makes it look so cool!! I love it! (And more importantly, Emmaline loved it :) )

Peanut Butter Pie...MMMMMM

We're having a cooking competition among the student housing for the National Night Out, and I had to submit the recipe beforehand, and I thought since it was already on the computer I'd put it up on the blog. My Aunt, Gabbie, brought it for Thanksgiving a couple of years ago, and it's so good! So here you go. (And I found the cute recipe card on-line... http://www.graphicgarden.com/files17/eng/print/reccard1.php)

History of Texas Museum

We went to the Texas history museum, which is right across the street from Royce's work, so we rode the bus in with Daddy today. (Mommy's first time ever on a public transit bus :) )
It went pretty well, because there were four floors to the museum, and lots to look at, but then we still had some more time to kill before Daddy got done from work, and the UT Museum of Art was on the other side of Daddy's work, so we decided to go in for a little while. Not the smartest thing I've done all day.
The only experience I've had with a museum of art is the one at BYU, and I didn't even think about stuff not being appropriate for a 2yr old. Not only did we have lots of naked guy statues, we had painting of naked women stabbing themselves, some pottery from Greece with more naked guys (yeah, exactly), and lots of weird, gruesom death stuff. So we didn't stay there very long. Plus by that time Emmaline and I were both pretty tired, so we went to the building daddy works in and went up and down the escalator for the last ten minutes. So now we're home resting, and watching Veggie Tails. :)

Fun stuff from home...

Helping mommy in the kitchen. Every time I make bread, she puts her stool up by the counter, and puts a little flour down and kneads her own little roll. It's pretty cute.


We still haven't gotten Emmaline a bed yet, because she would fall off and hit her head a thousand times a night; every morning we go in there she ends up in another spot so we line the mattresses with blankets and pillows.

Dancing in the kitchen with Daddy...

Mommy keeps interrupting their fun taking pictures...maybe I should just let them play :)

Dinosaur Exhibit

They've got the dinosaur exhibit at Zilker park for a couple of months, so we thought we'd go check it out. The dinosaurs looked so real...it was a little creepy :) I had a hard time getting Emmaline to turn her back on the dinosaur so I could take the picture :)

Guess who's pregnant....

Haha...not me! Turns out Aunty Lea was about 4weeks pregnant in this picture, and didn't know it. It was a pretty cool thing, though, because they were one month away from going through a ton of fertility treatments and stuff. So whoo hoo! She's due on May 7th, just one day after her birthday.
