Gabby's Awesome Weekend!

Well she did it!!

She took her written and driving test and

passed both with flying colors!

So everyone look out she's got her license!

Of course you're somewhat safe for a while because she doesn't have her own car to drive and Scott and I think she needs some more experience before we just hand her the keys and let her go. :)

Then today...she had a recital. It went very well and she had a lot of support in the form of several family members who came.

Easter Weekend

We had a pretty quiet weekend around here. Scott came down with a cold on Thursday and so he was down and out for the weekend.

Gabby & I went to church on Sunday and then over to Teresa's mom's for dinner. Kim and Noelani were there so I'm posting a couple of pictures.

This past week...

This was Wednesday April 1st. Yes that is snow! Crazy!

We went over to Scott's parents for dinner tonight. So I made the yummy dessert that I posted about last time. Here are the pictures. The first one is the way Paula Dean made it. We added ice cream. It was yummy! The cake smelled really good but it was kind of dry. The ice cream and fudge sauce helped though. :)

Yummy recipe!

I tried a new fudge sauce recipe tonight and it was YUMMY!

I was at the dentist last week and while there they let you watch TV and listen to it through the head phones. So I chose the cooking channel. Paula Dean's show was on and she and her two sons were sharing some of their "secret" recipes or secrets anyway at the end of the show she made a fudge cake with a fudge sauce. I'm not a big cake person but the sauce looked really good.

So I printed the recipe and decided to make the sauce to go over ice cream or in a milk shake. Oh my word was it yummy! But the other thing that surprised me is how smooth and glossy the sauce was. Gabby has already asked if I'm going to make the cake as well. We'll have to see how soon I get around to making it and if there is any sauce left or if I'll have to make that too.

Maybe that will be our dessert for Resurrection Sunday!
