i love cakes & naps

The last few days have been a whirlwind! I worked Friday and Saturday, then went to visit Courtney and her family Saturday night. I haven't seen them for a couple of years, but it was just like the old days...well except Courtney has baby Asa now. I was literally holding him all night, which is why I neglected to take any pictures! If you would like to see how incredibly adorable he is, take a look at Courtney and Nate's blog! I will see them again on Wednesday, and I promise to get a good shot. Saturday night/Sunday morning, Paul and I stayed at Stefan's house. Thank you Stefan! Stefan was a life saver- he helped me make Nanny's Birthday cupcakes and made us an awesome breakfast. The cake part was coconut, and the frosting was supposed to be homemade buttercream with coconut extract, but ended up being store bought frosting. I was slightly disappointed in myself, and I know Martha would be horrified to know I iced her precious little cakes with fake icing...but it actually was pretty good- especially with the toasted coconut. They were pretty for sure! I can't wait to be living within a mile of a Central Market and Whole Foods where I can actually find all the crazy ingredients needed for Martha's cupcake recipes. We stuffed ourselves at Outback, then went for cakes at Nanny and Papa's house. Staishy and Sean- I just wanted to point out that yes, that is a mustache on Papa's face! By the time we got back to Denton, we literally walked in the door and crashed for a three hour nap. When I say we, I really should speak for myself because I honestly was out so fast, I had no idea what Paul did. : )
