Favorite Baby Photos of 2010

I LOVE taking pictures of babies...especially brand new ones.  These are my favorite baby photos (and some 1 & 2 year olds...they're still babies, right?) from last year.  A few of them are babies with their grandmothers.  Something about that just makes for such a great picture.  Some of them are of my own little one :)

Favorite People Photos of 2010

Yeah, I know it's March, but I wanted to share some of my favorite people photos from 2010 (I think I'll do a separate baby category another day).  10 of my favorites, in no particular order:

MIA and Cake!

I took a break.  A long break.  Much longer than I had planned, but I needed to simplify my life for a bit.  Then I realize that it's been 5 MONTHS since I posted last.  Ridiculous, no?   Now I'm back!  And I have a yummy recipe.  In high school, my friends and I used to make this cake all the time.  I have no idea where we found the recipe, but I'm sure there are lots of variations out there. We had a few different names for it, but sometime after I had left home, my mom asked my brother David to "make that cake."  So now we refer to it as "David, Make That Cake."  My husband, who dislikes most baked desserts, loves this.  I think because it's kind of gooey and has the "frosting" baked right in.  And, it's super easy!

David, Make That Cake


Cake:
1 chocolate cake mix (my personal favorite is Pillsbury's Devil Food)

Mix cake batter according to the directions on the box and pour into 9x13 cake pan. Sprinkle 1/2 cup chocolate chips over cake batter.

Cream cheese mixture:

8 oz  cream cheese, softened

1 egg

1/2 cup of sugar 

1 tsp vanilla

Beat cream cheese, egg, sugar and vanilla together until smooth.  Pour over top of cake batter and chocolate chips.  Bake according to the directions on the cake mix box.  (Usually about 35 minutes @ 350*)

So yummy!
