It's Been A Looong January

Wow, I am so happy that January is over. It seemed to drag on for an extra long time, but we stayed busy and (mostly) productive.

A trip to the Bean Museum with the Bartlett fam

I had part of an ingrown toenail removed-again- and this time had some "residual side effects" to the stuff they numbed me with, which is a nice way of saying that a good portion of my left big toe is now completely numb. Although, how it can be numb and still hurt at the same time is beyond me.

Liz and Lad took us ice fishing a few weeks ago, which was very fun.

In self defense, I want to point out that I'm wearing at least four coats, plus about three shirts, and a scarf. It's bulky.

Riley was a complete champion, and such a trooper. She had a blast and ran around like the cold didn't have any effect. Iris, on the other hand, has no coping skills, and had a rough time.

A very fun time was had by all.

I took the girls to the circus the other day with some friends. It was seriously amazing!

Lastly, we went to a "kidney party" yesterday. One of my cousins is donating a kidney to our aunt, which is so incredible, and the fam put together a party for them. The donor's sister, another cousin, recently started her own cake making business, and she's fantastic! I have no idea how, but she made a kidney cake. And it was delicious.

You can't see all the amazing detail in this picture, but she has more on Facebook. (facebook.com/snowcakes1)

I want to put in a shameless plug for her here, and not just because she's my cousin. I really think her stuff is fabulous. So, for all your dessert needs, call Holly Krukowski, 801-750-7222, or email her at snow.cakes@yahoo.com. At the very least, look at her stuff on Facebook- she's awesome!


Here's to a short February! Hope yours is great!
