I had a request for instructions on Corey's Cake.
It was super easy. I made a 2 layer white cake(Betty Crocker cookbook) and frosted it with chocolate cream cheese frosting (1 cube of cream cheese about 1 cup whipped cream and about 1 cup powdered sugar and 6 tbsp of cocoa.)
Then put around the edges kit kat bars and sprinkle reeces pieces on top . Tie a ribbon around and Viola!!
For a more peanut butter chocolaty experience, you could make a chocolate cake and frost with a peanut chocolate frosting. I thought about it......bit didn't have time to hunt down a peanut chocolate frosting recipe.
Super Yummy. I loved the fact that the cake and frosting were not very sweet at all and then you had the bite of extra sweet reeces pieces............I thought it was well balanced. You could eat a lot of this cake and not get too sweet-ed out!

Happy Birthday Corey
Here's to a Great B-Day celebrated with family.
Spending the whole day hanging and watching football with Lars, eating a fantastic Reeces Cake, and visiting with his Bro & Family = Good Birthday
p.s. unfortunately this cake was not my idea. I used the idea off someones website. Loved it!
I've been Dissed
Well it has finally happened. It is Saturday, Football Season, and his dad is home to play with. He woke up from his nap:
1. calling for his dad
2. when he came out of the room he didn't even look at me, but heard the football game on and signed "Touchdown"
3. Ran to the couch to watch the game and control the remote...
Does he like football or what

The last 3 months
In Sept. we went camping to Mammoth Cave. It was beautiful and a much needed vacation, and packed with a few unexpected thrills.
Corey's parents came up and stayed the afternoon with us. As they only lived about a half hour away they decided that their own beds were more comfortable than tenting it.
Lars did great and loved exploring everywhere. There is no fear in this kid. Because of his adventurous spirit we found the tiniest little tick on his arm when we went home. It was so small I wasn't sure it was even a tick. But it would come off his arm. Lars was so brave because we stuck a match to his arm to get it out and sure enough it's legs started wiggling...........good thing we got it. We were able to get it out without incident and Lars did great through the whole procedure.
During the night we also had a few suprises. Knowing that Lars thinks it is play time whenever he gets on our bed, i worried a bit about him sleeping on the air mattress with us. We brought extra blankets just in case. We put him to sleep at his regular time on the air mattress, and later when corey and i decided to turn in, he woke up and decided he wanted to play. It took us about 1 1/2 -2 hours to get him back asleep again. This time i made him a little bed with all the blankets we brought and that seemed to work. He slept the rest of the night................However, We did not. About 2 or 3 in the morning i woke up to some howling outside the tent. It seemed far enough away, but being a bit of a light sleeper due to parentage, I struggled to go back to sleep. Well, while I was dozing, the howling started again and this time it was super super close. It even woke corey up. We could hear creatures crawling outside our tent and hoped it wasn't the wolves that close but perhaps a deer. For about 1 hour the very close wolf would howl and a couple farther away would respond. After a while it finally died down and it seemed they were gone, although I think it unnerved us a little bit so it was hard to go back to sleep. Corey also decided he really needed to use the restroom.....Convenient timing i know, but when you gotta go you gotta go!!....He was waiting at the door contemplating if he should go or not, when i mentioned that he should yell or something so i know if he is getting attacked or not.........and he said it wasn't himself he was worrying about it was his unprotected family.........I laughed because we were perfectly fine in the tent and if it had been me, i would have been terrified to go out there for fear of a wolf attack. Needless to say all went well and the wolves had disappeared, and we ended up only sleeping about 3 hours between Lars and the Wolves. But it was a great trip. Just nice to get away from home once in a while.
