Cody Takes Baking 101

This week Cody attended Smuckers' Baking University. He spent two days learning all about flour, corn, mixes and the chemistry of baking. He got to make various items and brought home many different yummy sample items for us. Cody made this beautiful cake on his first day.
He made the whole cake and frosting from scratch. I always tell people that Cody is the cook and I am the baker in the family but I think I'll have a run for my money now.

Morgan also appreciated Daddy's new skills.

Just another great perk from working for Smuckers!

This past week was a bit tough. Cabin fever is really starting to take its toll and I am completely done with the winter weather. I was also helping plan a Visiting/Home Teaching workshop and dinner that took place last night. It was a great success and a very spiritual experience but was a lot of work and just added to the stress of the week. Cody was gone in the evenings a lot with various activities; also not my favorite.

Thankfully, we made it through and the kids and I even managed to have some fun together.

Here's a little video of us enjoying the afternoon together. It was a nice lull between my constant yelling of, "Do not push your sister! Pepper is allowed to touch things in this house! Do not sit on your sister! Pepper, stop trying to eat shoes and the garbage can!" These moments, luckily, make it all worthwhile!
