Abstract Cake

Josh and I like to create art. And this is art. It may not be the form of art you are used to, but that could be because you aren't used to abstract art. This is what I fondly call Abstract Cake.

After a long day of work and school, Josh decided to make a beautiful cake and eat it too. Then Heather tried to help by pouring the batter in the pans, and oops! She forgot (or didn't know) to flour the pan. So thus the beauty of Abstract Cake. Hey, who said delicious food had to look good?





And here is the consumption of the Abstract Cake! Don't worry, he didn't eat the whole thing. If he did, he would definitely be on his way to resembling the displayed Pillsbury Dough Boy. Woohoo!

"We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of the dreams." Mr. Wonka.
So Heather and I thought it would be fun to catch up with the times and start a blog, it seems as if everyone has one these days and we were falling behind. I enjoy designing and creating things, and Heather enjoys writing and sharing ideas and stories so I figured it would be perfect for us to have a blog.
So this week has been a fun busy week, we have done a lot. Starting with last weekend, we got our first pet, a Betta fish. It was on a whim, we were at the local Wal-mart and Heather was getting some soap and stuff and my brother Clark and I felt awkward it those girlie aisles so we went down to the pet area and I decided I had to have fish, and Heather concurred. We got a classic round fish bowl from Michaels, the craft store, and a bright red Betta for only 3.47 from Wal-mart. Now our pet Poiseidon is a great accent to our table.
Thursday was a good day, after studying all day long in the institute, even longer than usual because my writing class was canceled, and Heather was at work, we were both excited to come home and head up the canyon. We went rock climbing with our good friends Matt and Carla Thorup up Big cottonwood canyon, a little bit above above dogwood camp area. Then when it got to dark we went down and got some Little Ceasers pizza, yummy.

Also Heather was asked to help with the Relief Society Broadcast next weekend so we spent a couple of late nights, really late nights, cutting and glue letters out to make six posters. We got that done early Saturday morning, and what a relief to be done.
Saturday we went up to Snowbird and spent a couple hours wandering around Oktoberfest. I remember going once as a little kid with my grandparents, and now that I realize you have to love drinking bear to like Oktoberfest and wonder why my grandparents took me?
We are watching Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and as charlie puts his everlasting gobstopper on Wonka's desk "a glimmer of hope, in a weary world," and to finish the movie and this post, "do you know what happened to the man that suddenly got everything he wanted? He lived happily ever after."
