Cake!

So I made a cake for our Thanksgiving meal at the Jones' today (we had the Thanksgiving meal today). I have to say that I am very proud of my cake. It is my best one ever. So if anyone is in Utah and wants me to make a cake for them (for a minimal charge) just let me know.

I'm never doing that again

I'm never going to a movie opening night (at midnight) again. I did not get much sleep last night and I need sleep to function. My sister and I didn't get home until 2:30 and then Ian woke up at 2:45 and didn't get back to sleep until 4:15 and woke up at 7. I don't know why Ian had such a hard time. He would fall asleep in my arms or laying down on me but as soon as I put him in his crib he would start screaming. There has been only one other night this bad and it was like when he was three months old. Rex let me sleep in this morning, but I could still hear them, so I didn't sleep much after 7.
The movie was alright. I didn't really like the people chosen for Edward, Jasper, and Alice. And Edward and Jasper had really wierd hair dos. Personally I liked Bella better in the movie than the book because you don't hear all her thoughts. There were also other little things that weren't right that bugged me. I thought Jacob was a good pick, but I did not think he would have long hair, until he started becoming a werewolf. I also really liked Rosalie's character, she was so good at hating Bella.

Twilight and Cake Decorating and other random stuff

Tonight my sister and I are going to see the Twilight movie. I am excited, but am afraid that I will disappointed with the movie (as often is the case when I see a movie and have read the book before). I don't even know if I will be able to stay awake through the movie, but my sister says going to movies opening night is way fun, you get to see all the fanatics and people who dress up. I don't think I have ever seen a movie on opening night, so it will be fun.

On another note, my sister and I have been taking cake decorating classes. We are now in the second course and loving it. It is fun and nice to see it is something that I can actually do. Our teacher is great too.

Also, I am making most of the Christmas gifts we will be giving since we have no money (Rex quit his job a couple weeks ago and is looking for a new one). I actually started one back in January becuase I knew that one would take a long time. I can't say what they are because the people receiving these gifts most likely will read this.

Okay, today I'm just going to ramble on various subjects. I have found a really good receipe for white bread and everyone loves it. I think I also make bread better without my KitchenAide (I can tell when it needs more flour when I knead it by hand). Our KitchenAide is at Rex's parents until we get our own place (hopefully sooner than later).

I want to have another baby. I have wanted to for some time now. We were trying the first time, it took a year to get pregnant (which was good). But all that year, I was jealous whenever I found out that someone else I knew was pregnant (which happened a lot). And now that jealousy is coming back, but only when I hear that friends are pregnant with their second or third child. I am trying really hard not to, but it isn't working very well. I know that I am blessed and I have to remember that. I have a healthy, happy, energitic son, who I love very much.

Sorry, no pictures this time.

Playing in the Leaves

Ian loves to play in the leaves when we are raking. He will occasionally help rake. He helps put them in the garbage can.
