MMMM . . . MMMM . . . . MMMM

I tried this syrup recipe over french toast for the breakfast after Abby's sleepover and it was SO good!  Not lowfat or healthy but very yummy!

We have had three days of birthday festivities for which I will post pics later today after I've had a nap.  

Camping

We ran up the canyon to go camping this past weekend. Here are all the kids:

The kids had fun climbing through the trees on the mountainside. 

Then as we were getting dinner together 5 deer wandered through the same spot the kids had been playing in! Here are a few shots of them peering down at us:  

We roasted hot dogs and marshmallows over the fire.  

Its so nice to have a fun camping place 5 mins from home!!

Yummy!

I don't get a whole lot of time to eat for the straight week that I work so I spend it thinking of yummy things to make to eat for the week I am home.  This week I made this:  

German chocolate cake . . . from scratch. It was kinda a lot of effort but worth it.  It was all beautiful and perfect in the oven until Abby came up and jumped in front of the oven and it collapsed! Still yummy though.

Real Salt Lake

We got to go to another Real Salt Lake soccer game! It was against the LA Galaxy but Beckham wasn't there! :( We had a lot of fun. The game was good, we were up 1 until the last 7 mins of the game and ended up tying 2 to 2.

The Mascot

The action

And Abby's favorite: Beckerman
(she asked for this pic to be blown up poster sized for her bedroom!)
