The Baker's

Moving to our new location has made me ponder deeply on life, social relationships and interactions, gospel principles vs. cultural traditions etc.  I usually don't post my thoughts, but this one is well one that I would like to share. Here is where the thought process began: I went to this fun night with the girls, Bunco. I found it to be an entertaining and enjoyable evening. I was chatting with my table before the bell rang and someone asked this gal across from me 'how old she was?'  Okay in my mind I'm thinking really, we are still asking 'how old people are?'  So this sweet lady, in an apologizing voice, replies I'm 26.  Okay hang on a second.  Why was she apologizing?  Is it wrong to be 26?

So I started pondering on it.  I ask myself, if she was 20 years old, would she still have feelings, emotions, a brain to contribute to a conversation, and experiences....YES!  If she was 50 would she still have feelings, emotions, a brain to contribute to a conversation, and experiences...YES!  Anyways, so sweet new friends at Bunco, don't apologize...LOVE the age you are. We can still be friends if you are 20 or 60.  I'm not apologizing for my age...its a good one;)

Tad and the boys put together the boys christmas present and they LOVE it!

I had so much fun at Valentines Day making these cutie bug cupcakes for the boys classes. They were adorable, but pretty messy when the kids ate them. 

Here is another new yummy creation. Being pregnant I don't find sweet things appealing, but shortbread has seem attractive to me. These are Raspberry/Almond Filled Shortbread Cookies. Super yum and beautiful! Recipe found on my pinterest page.

A few of you asked in your comments about our new little baby, if I was feeling well. I have felt just fine this pregnancy. I don't have too much going on right now in my life so it is a wonderful time to chill and bake a baby. My boys are so good to spoil me and let me rest. Thank you for your thoughts and concerns. We love you!
