Last night we had some friends over for games and dessert. I decided to attempt a cheesecake and it turned out great! It was super easy and super yummy! So I thought I would share it with everyone. The recipe comes from the Easy-to-Bake Cookbook.
Easy Chocolate Lover's Cheesepie
Ingredients:
3 packages cream cheese softened
3/4 C sugar
3 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 C Hershey's mini chocolate chips (12 oz bag)
1 extra serving size graham cracker crust (9 oz)
Instructions:
1. Heat oven to 450 degrees
2. Beat cream cheese and sugar in large bowl with mixer until well blended. Add eggs and vanilla; beat well. Stir in 1 and 2/3 C small chocolate chips; pour into crust.
3. Bake 10 minutes. Without opening oven door, reduce temp to 250 degrees continue baking for 30 min. or until set. Remove from oven and set on a wire rack. Cool completely. Cover, refridgerate until thoroughly chilled.
So if you decide to take a cheesecake cooking adventure... have fun!

Kaylynn the Queen of Not Going to Bed!
So the other day we put Kaylynn to bed and lately she has become the queen of stall tactics. Her favorite stall tactic is to do something cute that makes us all laugh. So this time Chad went in to put her back in bed and she said, "Wook daddy! I walkin on my head!" Ha Ha! She bent over and put her head and hands on the ground with her hiney up in the air and she would move her feet around! She cracks us up!

36 weeks down... 4 weeks to go!
I can't believe that I have four weeks left! We are getting ready for Madison to get here!Daddy LOVES His Little Girl
So we were having a relaxing Sunday morning. Kaylynn was ready for Church and Chad was ironing his shirt. We had the Mormon Tabernacle Choir on the TV. Kaylynn kept saying the music was beautiful. Then she walked up to Chad and said, "Daddy, dance wif me" and of course Chad stopped ironing to dance with his little sweetheart!
It was so sweet to watch them. Kaylynn sure has stolen her daddy's heart! We love her so much!

So while on vacation down in Utah Ben, Chad and I wanted to go to a Sonic for lunch. We weren't sure where the nearest one was so we used my mom's GPS system... it took us twenty minutes away and then right when it said "arriving at destination" we looked and well...
This is what we saw! We drove twenty minutes away for a Sonic that had closed down!!! Oh man did we get a good laugh out of that. I guess this is proof that technology is amazing but it still lacks the ability to think things through! lol

We went down to Ogden, UT for a family reunion. We stayed with my Grandpa while we were down there. Kaylynn has always gotten very attatched to Grandpa E every time we have visited and this time was no different. Grandpa was reading so Kaylynn grabbed the books we brought down with us and sat down next to Grandpa to read... SUPER CUTE!
After a little while Kaylynn wanted Grandpa to read with her so he set down his own book and read with Kaylynn. She has so much fun with her Great Grandpa E!

Well I am playing catch up here. We went to Utah a couple of weeks ago for a family reunion on my side. We decided to go down a couple of days early and make a family vacation out of it. We took Kaylynn to the Utah Hogle Zoo in Salt Lake City. Her Uncle Ben met us at the zoo for some animal fun!
Kaylynn and Uncle Ben looking at the snakes and reptiles cages.
It was crazy to see a leopard so close... there is glass between the leopard and us but it was so neat to get down on the leopard's eye level and it would look right at you as it walked by.
Look at how close the leopard's face is, Kaylynn loved looking at the leopard!
She absolutely loved the small animals, I don't remember what this animal was but Kaylynn had to be dragged from the display because she wanted to stay and play with it.

So Kaylynn didn't sleep at all the night before, total we all got about three hours of sleep. Somewhere between the gift shop and the car (which were relatively close together) she fell asleep. The lion she is cuddling with is what she picked from the gift shop.
