A well played Family Home Evening (out)

Monday night Adam got a call at 5:45 from a certain friend. we pretty much knew what that meant immediately - free tickets to the Diamondbacks! So we hurried our way thru dinner and made a few calls to find another couple to go with and scooted out to the door to pick up the tickets and head to the game. Look how great these seats are! Yep, can't pass those up. Plus the D Backs had been playing pretty good the last few games. And lucky for us, they put on a great show and won that night too!

Here we are enjoying the game! Don't mind my flat hair! I had just gotten a hair cut and did not have time to fix it if we were going to make it to the game on time!

Thanks friend for the tickets!

Homemade Pitas!

While my good friend Mary was in town recently, we had to of course try a new recipe. So we went with homemade, whole wheat pitas!

They were actually pretty easy and we had them all figured out after a couple of batches. Here they are on the pan wiaiting to go in the over.

Darn it! I forgot to take a picture of them while they were in the oven and puffed up! But here is the evidence that they actual do make a pocket!

They were really yummy with hummus. The next day we had the leftovers for breakfast, filling them with eggs, bacon, peppers, onions and cheese! Yummy!

More Birthdays!

This month we also celebrated my adorable nephew Brycen's birthday!

And who wouldn't want a pinata at their party?

Especially when its filled with tons of candy...

And especially when no ones stops you from eating all you want!

I don't think he moved from this spot nor made a sound for minutes! He only looked up long enough to hand someone a piece of candy to take the wrapper off for him.

Love you Brycen!

Well we tried....

In honor of the Suns, I made these fun little "cakelets". I promise, they were actually purple and orange though they are bordering on BSU colors!

Adam got me this fun cake pan for my bday, and I just had to try it out!

I guess it didn't really help the Suns win, but they were sure fun to eat!

More Surprises...

A few days after I got my dad's surprise b-day package in the mail, I got another package in the mail! So fun!

I got even more excited when I saw the return label
Oh what could it be!
Ha! Giant cupcake pan from Williams Sonoma! YEAH! I am so excited for this baby!

Mom also got me a dough scraper after watching me try to pick up donuts off the counter. Good one!
Thanks mom for some super presents!
