Yesterday I was asked to make cupcakes for dinner at youth group. The only kind of cupcakes I have ever made were Cherry Chip (thanks to my mom). But I knew that kids love chocolate so I went out & bought a box of fudge chocolate cupcakes. They were great & moist....the only problem was it was almost impossible to spread the frosting on them (they were just too soft on top). So after ruining many cupcakes I decided to offer one to Micah...what follows is his first experiement with a chocolate cupcake....enjoy (he sure did!).

This has happened a couple times to us in recent weeks. Micah enjoys his morning breakfast (here it's waffles) & falls asleep in his chair before he can finish the last bite. After I took this picture I found him slumped forward with his face laying in the jam ;-) Let's just say, he took a good hot bath after that one.

Two weeks to go...

Well June is here! I received a coupon in the mail today offering me a free cake from Vons (aka Safeway) for Micah's birthday. It's hard to believe that it has been a year since the Lord blessed us with Micah. It's actually kind of overwhelming to think that we have had a whole year to enjoy Micah. Now his/our birthdays approach. I feel like I should have some wonderful first birthday party planned for Micah, but I've always been kind of cynical of kids parties when they are too young to enjoy them...but all the same here I am planning Micah's first party :-)

Do you know what I spend most of the time thinking about these days? Where I was a year ago. For example:

• My church was planning a shower for us
• I was driving to Fresno 1/wk for Dr. Appointments, I would schedule them early to avoid baking in the heat
• I was feeling wonderful, although concerned about my HUGE swelling feet
• I was guessing how long I would have to wait for Micah to arrive...Although figuring it defiantly would not come one my birthday

Hope you all enjoy your June!!

Playing around on the internet

Obviously I have too much time on my hands ;-) Micah has been spending the last half hour throwing himself around his crib like a WWF wrestler trying to decide if he wants to go to sleep...So I figured I'd kill the time by messing around on line. I hope you like it!
