Freezer Recipes?

Cooking is one of my least favorite things to do on a daily basis. So we eat out a lot, and mostly just junk. So every once in a while I like to stock my freezer with frozen meals that are easy to reheat and serve. But I'm getting tired of lasagna and funeral potatoes. So I need your recipes!!
If you know any good ones that freeze easily let me know!! Thanks :)

Happy Halloween

Tonight is our annual family Halloween party. Stay tuned for pics of the costumes and fun.
Here's a preview of dessert

My sick boys

Last night as we had everyone tucked into bed and off to sleep KC started waking up crying. We couldn't figure out what was wrong, no fever, no 'owies' anywhere. Just uncontrollable crying. We got him back to sleep and about an hour later he was at it again. This time we took him in our room, so not to wake up Parker, and to give him some tylenol in case maybe he had something hurting him that we didn't know about. As Aaron was getting the tylenol KC threw up all over me, our bedroom floor, and part of our bed. On my side of course. He did this a few more times before we could get anything fast enough to help contain the mess.
Sweet Aaron helped me get KC's clothes off and mine and get us changed and KC bathed. Then while I cuddled KC on the couch Aaron cleaned up the whole mess, even put the dirty stuff in washing machine and cleaned it.
We got KC all settled and just as Aaron sat down on the couch by us we heard Parker start to cry. Aaron rushed in and got him just in time to make it to the bathroom where Parker was sick, really sick. That began our long night of sleeping on the couch, throw up bowls, and crying kids. KC was up about every hour being sick, and Parker about as often. At least we could put Parker back to bed eventually and know that he could get to his bowl if he needed to.
We had to stay up with KC all night to make sure he was okay and that there were no more messes around him. So we took shifts, but I don't think either of us really slept at all till this morning. When it was my turn to lay down in the bedroom I couldn't help but come running out whenever I heard the kids crying. So finally I sent Aaron to bed hoping he would have more luck at getting to sleep than I did.
So KC's finally sleeping soundly, Parkers up and eating a little without any problems yet. Aarons still in bed and I just got up a few minutes ago.
They hadn't been sick at all during the day yesterday, and still don't have any fevers or anything. The only thing we can think of is that maybe they got food poisoning from lunch yesterday. We ate out and they both had the same thing.
It's so sad to see them so miserable and not being able to do anything to help them other than sit there with them. I hope that we don't have to do this again for a while.

Well, there are no barbies in my near future. I have to admit I shed a few tears when we found out, and I'm glad I have 5 months to get used to the idea of having 3 little boys. So even though I'm a bit disappointed, I'm sure we'll love this next little boy just as much as we do the others, and in time I will be excited. At least I can reuse all those cute little clothes I had for the others that I loved so much.

---Big thanks to Evelyn for stopping by the cheer me up and remind me just how cute little boy stuff is :)---

One down...one to go

Here's the first one, now I just need to finish the other than deliver them tomorrow and I'm done for a few weeks :) This red one was a headache to do, but once it was all finished and assembled I like the way it turned out. The damask wasn't quite and sharp as I would have liked but overall I think it looks good. I was worried about the colors, but I really like them now. I'm excited to see how they have their reception center decorated.

Polls

So I got a little bored and added a few polls, check them out and let me know what you think. The 'home birth" poll is because I'm seriously considering it, it is a lot less expensive and I could have a water birth, but at the same time it seems really scary.
The toy poll because last week I got the kids some new toys and they have already forgotten them. I usually only get them at birthdays and such, but I gave in to the constant complaining of boredom and we went to the toy store.
We should find out in the next few weeks what baby number 3 will be :) so I'm wondering what your guesses are.
anyways, I'm off to work on my cakes, pics coming soon :)

Draculas Masquerade Ball

This last weekend we decided to get away and have some fun. We dropped the kids off at Mom and Dads (thank you!!) and headed to SLC for the night. We stayed at the Marriott by the University of Utah and went to Dracula's Masquerade Ball. Lots of people were dressed up, we should have, it would have been fun, maybe next time. The show was great and so was the food. The hotel was nice till we tried to sleep. The nice feathery bed was deceiving. When you first lay down it seemed so soft and cozy, but after about 10 mins in any position you started to get achy and had to move. So we both tossed and turned all night, but oh well. It was still fun, even if we didn't sleep much. The next morning on our way back to get the boys we drove by the new Draper temple. Its beautiful, kind of reminds me of Mt. Timpanogas temple, only smaller and without the big windows. The temple as cool, but you should see the houses up there! They look more like castles, it was incredible. I'm not sure why anyone needs a house that big, they were the biggest homes I've ever seen. And about half of them were for sale. It was crazy.
Then we went and got the boys, who are always so much cuter after being away from them for a little bit. They had a great time with Grandma and Grandpa.

A quick baby shower cake I did tonight. I originally wanted to cover it all in fondant instead of buttercream, but I didn't have any made and didn't have time to worry about it so here you go. I had to paint the giraffe a little to adjust the colors after I iced the cake in such a bright pink, it didn't really match. Gotta love luster dust :) I wasn't really sure what to do with the top so I tried to make it look like the giraffe was sitting on a blanket. Overall I like how it turned out, but I'll like eating it even more tomorrow at the shower :)

This cute little guy is modeled after one I saw at Cake Camp. When I saw the ones there I so wished that I had taken the class, but I did take pictures was happy to find that it wasn't that hard to replicate. It's not as good as the original of course, but I think it's pretty cute. This guy gets to sit atop a baby shower cake I'm making this weekend.

Still here

Here is a peak at what I'll be doing next week with one of the wedding cakes I have sceduled. It looks a lot better in person, and when it's all done I'll try to get a better pic.

And here is my new toy!!!! A pasta roller attachment for my kitchen aid! I'm so excited, I've wanted one for a long time, it'll be great when doing cakes and I need to roll the fondant or gumpaste out thin and make sure it's all the same. :)

Over the next few months I have 5 cakes, all very different and unique so I'm excited for the new additions I'll have for my portfolio. Not much else is going on, just the same everyday stuff. We're looking forward to Halloween and the start of all the fun holidays, hopefully we survive them with everything else there is to do.
