Bryn's 1st Birthday

Wednesday was Bryn's birthday!! i can't believe she is already one year old! She's not quite walking yet but she is talking gibberish a lot and crawls pretty darn fast. Darcy was pretty excited for the cake but she ended up not getting any because she didn't eat her dinner. The video is pretty pathetic because Bryn is eating away at her cake and Darcy is crying her eyes out. I cut the video just short of that. And I don't know why the audio is normal and the video is double time. Oh well, it'll be over twice as fast.









Darcy's meltdown. I did give her some the next day just so you don't think I'm totally cruel.

Sushi!!!

I have been making my own sushi for about 7 years and I'm always looking for something different than the usual California roll I make all the time so I took a sushi class from Chef Joe at the Mt. Fuji Sushi Bar in Sandy, UT. It was really insightful and I learned some new techniques. Plus, I branched out from the usual and make a lot of new rolls last week. Soooo good!!

This is the yummy Vegas Roll that is tempura dipped with salmon, crab, cream cheese and cucumber in the middle.

These are all Drew's creations wrapped in rice paper.

Clockwise : 12 o'clock : California Roll, Mango Mamma Roll, Wasatch Roll, Philly Roll, with a Salmon Nigiri in the middle.

Left to Right, Free for All Roll (all my left over ingredients), Playboy Roll, and a messed up something that still tasted pretty good.

Me holding the bright orange fish roe (tobiko). If you ever want to make sushi, let me know and we'll have a sushi party!

So....it's been a while.

I haven't even logged into my blog for over a year!!! But the girls are getting way too cute to not share with whoever still may be checking in.



Darcy does this semi-creepy smile when you say "Darcy, Don't smile." It started out cute but evolved into this.

Bryn always smiles when she see the light on the camera flash. I can't believe she'll be one in a week!!
