Happy Birthday Sam!

We celebrated Sam's 34th birthday last night. We went out for dinner at Chili's and ate yummy cake. (if I do say so myself Ü)

He huffs and he puffs and he blows the popcorn away! I had a lot of fun making this cake. (Well all except the frosting part...for some reason the frosting wouldn't stick to the cake...very strange.) As I'm sure a lot of you know...Sam LOVES popcorn. When I saw this cake design, I knew it would be perfect for his birthday.

Even at 34, one of the best things about birthdays is OPENING PRESENTS! Swami says... Milkshakes and smoothies are in our future along with sweet tunes to wake up to! Happy Birthday Sammy!

Here Come's Peter Cottontail...

The Easter Bunny was able to find us in MO! Unfortunately this is the only picture we took that day! LOL We had a lovely day of church and dinner with the Carlson's. I brought macaroni and cheese. It was the first time some of them had seen macaroni and cheese prepared that way. I assumed they liked it...Sam and I loved it, of course. All and all it was a successful Easter even though we weren't able to share it with family or spend it in the South.

Maggie in the curtains

I couldn't resist this picture. We had to move the furniture around in our room when we got a new bed. As a result, Maggie's bed was moved under the window. Apparently she thinks the curtains are her new blanket! She makes sure that she's behind them before she lays down. Sometimes she gets completely behind the curtains so that all you can see is her nose sticking out. She's too funny. (BTW, the small pillow used to be a throw pillow for our bed, but she decided that she needed a pillow for her head and stole it in the middle of the night.)

Happy Birthday Me!

We celebrated my 32nd Birthday this year by going out to dinner with our friends, the Carlson's. We found a Moe's in the middle of nowhere KS. Definitely not a good as Clemson's Moe's, but still better than Chipotle. I had a yummy chocolate cake with Fluffy White frosting and Barbie colored candles. It was a great birthday!

Valentine's Day

We took this picture after our Stake Valentine's Dinner/Dance. We left after the dinner because we didn't know anyone there, and we were extremely bored. ...Yawn... So salvage the night (and the fact that we were dressed up), we drove over to KS to have a special dessert at The Cheesecake Factory. Yum! Now that's worth spending 45 mins curling my hair!
