Eggs Eggs Eggs

Our chickens that I wrote about here, are now turning out 4 eggs a day! Wowa! They have really been a great buy, Nathan loves them! He checks daily for eggs and even has his own egg basket to bring the eggs back up to the house in! He was putting them in his jean pockets! I'm shocked he didn't break any!

His very first egg!!

We just took an old Easter basket that was a stuffed dragon, and cut up an egg carton to fit in it. He has room for 6 eggs in his basket. Hopefully all 6 chicken don't start laying daily! That would be a lot of eggs!

So in the spirit of using more eggs, I"ve been baking! Sydney eats eggs for breakfast every morning and Nathan will a few times a week, but they just can't keep up!

I made these tonight, I've got to say they were nothing to write home about. Bummer!

These cookies however were a hit! I made two batches in one week! Before you think we are huge fatties, let me tell you that our house is a very busy place! We have a visitor (usually a few) every other day! We love it! But it sure makes the cookies go fast! Now go make yourself some yummy cookies!

What I Nathan didn't give a cookie!

Or maybe he did!

Carmel Apples!

Yummy I mentioned here that we went up to Julian for the Apple Festival and apple picking!

Well what better to do with apples then make Carmel Apples!

Yummy!

 These did not last long!

My Birthday Cake in...October!

So yeah I'm a little late with this post!

But when I get writers block I scroll thur picture's on my computer looking for inspiration,

 today I came a crossed all the picture from mine and Nathans birthdays.

Which I never shared, because well I'm a slacker!

So... today I thought I would share the cake I made for my birthday.

 I know, I know you're sitting there thinking,
"Wait, you made your own birthday cake? "

Well, yes I did!

My mom made me a wonderful dinner and I offered to bring dessert.

I had seen a cake recipe that I wanted to try out!

 I of course can't seem to find the site now,

so I'll just explain it.

But this was from another site, sorry!

Ok it was super easy with great results! I'll for sure do it again next strawberry season!

You'll need:
1 White Cake Mix box
1 Red Velvet Cake Mix box
2 cups chopped strawberries
1 large container Cool Whip


You just bake a white cake mix in two 8 inch rounds and a red velvet cake mix in 2 eight inch rounds. Allow to cool, then layer every other using cool whip and chopped strawberries between each layer. Then take the cool whip and frost the whole cake! Decorate as you desire! Super easy! Super yummy!

**I added 4 kabob sticks to the center of  my cake for stability on the drive up to my parents house!
