This is what happens when you blow the candles out on a cake that has chocolate shavings on top!

The greatest homemade meal I have ever attempted. Garlic bread with melted Gruyere cheese, roasted red potatoes with orange peppers, salad, and chicken cordon bleu with gruyere and prociutto! A huge thank you to Andrew Mason and David Dexter Nelson who assisted me in learning how to make this fabulous dinner.
The whole family, Rowan, Alan, Myself, Phoenix, McKenzie, Annie, and Emily.

We had a blast in Utah going to visit my family. Alan, Rowan, and I drove down there for 4 days. We were able to stay with Andy and his family in their new house in Springville. Even though it is in Springville we are still totally HAPPY for his family to have such a beautiful home! Swen is now officially a lawyer! We were also lucky enough to see my mom while we were there since she flew in from DC!
