Cade's Big Day!

Cade got baptized today...it was a very special day that we all enjoyed. Thanks to our friends and family that came and supported her! She also gave the missionaries their ties and they loved them. They wore them and made sure everybody knew where they came from.

Ties....

Here is a picture of the ties that Cade and I made for the missionaries. Hopefully we will see them tonight so that we can give them to them in time for them to wear them to Cade's baptism tomorrow.

What a busy day...

Today I started my new shift and within ten minutes of being at work I did a nice job on shattering some glass that then smashed a computer screen...thankfully my day got better. Time flew by and before I knew it it was time to go home...and I actually got in a hour of overtime! Tomorrow Cade will stay at daycare until Karate is done so that gives me about three hours of mommy time!!! I hope to get some laundry done, go tanning so that I can avoid getting the lovely "farmer's tan" this year, and maybe get a few groceries! On Wednesday night Cade and I will be joining some friends for game night at their house, this should be a lot of fun, or it could be a disaster since I am the only one with a kid...so we will see if we get invited back! Our weather is beautiful during the day and I am hoping that it stays that way, I am ready for spring!!!!

I really dislike coming up with titles for these things...

Our weekend has once again come and gone. It was a good one! Traci came and visited for a night along with some other friends of mine. Cade spent Saturday with her Best Friend Angela, they went to the Family Fun Center and had a blast. Today after church Cade and I took a walk and took some pictures it was a lot of fun. Tomorrow I start my new schedule and I am very excited to be getting off three hours earlier in the day!!! This week ahead will seem long due to the new schedule but in the end it will all be worth it!

Busy...

I have been so busy!!! I was looking at my calendar today and everyday has something (other than work) until at least next Wednesday!!! YIKES!!!!!!! Today I started doing my new job at work, and it made my day go by way faster!!!! Other than all that it has been work, visits with friends, and homework for Cade. Cade did get her yellow belt in Karate last week so she is excited about that!!!! And is doing some sort of reading Olympics at school so she is reading like a mad woman!!!!! Here are a few pics from our weekend, enjoy!

YUMMY!!!!!!!

On Friday I went to a nice families house for dinner! It was one of the most amazing dinners I have ever had. We had a wonderful pulled pork salad that was delicious, and then we topped it off with these things.....I thought I would share the recipe, I am thinking about making them in a few minutes!

Oatmeal Carmelitas
Prep Time: 25 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Ingredients:
2 cups flour
2 cups quick cooking rolled oats
1-1/2 cups firmly packed brown sugar
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1 cup butter, melted
14 oz. pkg. light caramels, unwrapped
1/3 cup light cream
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup milk chocolate chips
1 cup chopped pecans
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 13x9-inch pan and set aside. In large bowl, combine flour, oats, sugar, soda and salt and blend. Add melted butter and mix until crumbly. Reserve half of crumb mixture (about 3 cups) for topping. Press remaining crumb mixture in bottom of greased pan.
In a small bowl, combine caramels and cream. Heat in microwave oven for 4-6 minutes on 50% power, stirring twice during cooking, until caramels are melted and mixture is smooth.
Sprinkle chocolate chips and pecans over reserved crust. Drizzle evenly with melted caramel mixture and sprinkle with reserved crumb mixture.
Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool 1 hour or until completely cooled. Cut into bars.

All Moved

Cade and I are moved into our new home, and loving it. Cade loves having her own room, and I love not having her toys all over the house. Cade is fighting a cold, and I am keeping my fingers crossed that this doesn't turn into a major thing. I have a busy week ahead of me, and I will share the news of what I am doing in due time. Decision I have made are not easy for people to understand, and I have been ridiculed for sometime now, and I just want you all to know that the decision I have made is a very personal one, and one that I feel is right for me. And I will let the cat out of the bag soon enough.

Peace to you All!
