What I have been up to

I taught the Young Women on Sunday about Marriage Standards. I totally remember this lesson from when I was in YW, and "Sister Weenig" taught it! (Hi Allison!) I was really nervous about it and spent tons of time preparing, but it really paid off. It went really well, and I think I connected with the girls. This cake was my moms idea (she taught the lesson in her ward the week before). It is actually a Flute dish turned upside down. All the girls were so excited to eat it and couldn't believe I made such a pretty cake for them! I asked them to cut and they were a little confused when they couldn't! I showed them the hollow inside. (Sometimes boys may look good on the outside, but the inside it the stuff that really matters. Also likened to a temple marriage).
We got to church a little late so I sneaked the cake into the fridge without any of the boys spotting it. After sacrament I went to the car to grab something and then went to get the cake only to find all the boys with the fridge door open, hands reaching, and saying "Whose cake is that? It looks so good!" After I was finished chewing them out, they ran out with their tails between their legs. We let them have some "cake" after church. So funny.


Made some onesies for Kate
These are not finished....
Played dress up with my little doll.

Went to Kate's 4 month check up. Sad. Two shots. But she is a happy baby. She weighs 13.5 lbs!

And I have spent a lot of time kissing this cute little face.

How cute that you're teaching about marriage standards! You're a great one for it and I'm sure the girls totally look up to you and love you! I'm so impressed that you made such a beautiful cake! I seriously thought there was no possible way for Kate to get any cuter, and she seems to be cuter and cuter in every picture! She's darling!
