• ran 3 miles without the vicious sun beating down on me
• enjoyed a peaceful swim alone
• saw the most beautiful yellow butterfly
• made 4 lovely trips to wal mart{one in which i left my groceries in the cart..who does that?? i do}
• baked a cake
• spent time with my sweet boys
• maddix survived an unpleasant fall off of the changing table..
• devoured down a delectable salad and pizza at bj’s with family
• i learned several lessons.

sunday:

• maddix slept in until 7am..
• listened to elder neil l. andersen from the quorum of the twelve apostles speak at our stake conference
• brigham & i felt the Spirit so strongly
• he left a blessing upon the youth that no matter what choices they decide to make in life, to always remember that they heard testimony from someone that KNOWS that Jesus Christ lives.

NEXT item of business. Maddix LOVES LOVES baby food. {yes even his peas.} maddix scoots like crazy. likes to pretend like he knows how to talk. makes spitting noises. enjoys waking up in the middle of the night STILL at least 3 times now. has now started to get to a sitting position from his belly {it is soo cute when i go into his room in the middle of the night when he’s crying and he’s just sitting there. its precious. the sitting in his crib part..not the crying part}
picture #1: {“hey ladies look how cute my round face & big eyes are”}. picture #2: don’t be fooled by the “im shy” smile. picture #3: "{“okay, enough pictures of me mom. my turn!”}

SO i really wanted to get into cake decorating so i went and bought some stuff, watched and read some different things online, and threw together a cake. this is what i got.

i want some more practice but i need an occasion to make a cake for! anyone need a cake for anything?? party? just to eat? gift? anything? i would love some practice so let me know. please!

{happy monday}
