Did some baking…
Made French Bread to go with dinner tonight. It looks pretty good. I can never figure out how to get a soft crust unstead of a hard shell but I know either way is fine. It smelled so good.
Also Kaylee went swimming again today. Sadly the pool was a bit cold because I had to drain it and wash it out and it didn't get a lot of sun time before she wanted to go in.
We went to the doctor and he heard a humming sound in her chest. This can be explained as normal blood flow sound, some people have it, and it's not serious. But to be on the safe side we're increasing her Diuril because her eyes and face have been puffy lately and also because of this humming. Then we'll go see him in six weeks and get some bloodwork done in 4.5 weeks to make sure everything is fine. I am really happy with this doctor. If this had been the doctor at CHLA she wouldn't have even seen anything wrong because she never in the year and a half we saw her did she order a blood test for Kaylee. It's the only way he really could be sure that the humming probably wasn't related to water retention because her blood work was normal. But it doesn't hurt to up the dose a bit and see if that fixes at the very least the puffy issue.
On the Potty Training front things have gone great today. She woke up in the morning dry and went to the bathroom right away. Then we headed out to the doctor and she stayed dry in her undies the entire time. We got home and she ran in to the bathroom and went potty. Then later she told me, "Mommy I have to go to the bathroom!" and ran in and went number two. Then she took a nap and stayed dry the entire time and got up and went potty. She hasn't yet gone to the bathroom since but she typically goes two to three hours between trips to the bathroom.
In local news it was approved that oil drilling can be done in SB again. Good for them. It should bring in some money. Some people are against it because of the environment. These are the same people that vote down taxes. So we have to get it somewhere and oil drilling it is and more power to them. I wish they could legalize Weed as well, not that I use it or think it should be, but frankly if it's no worse than alcohol why not get some money from it?
Tomorrow, Thursday and Friday I'm going to spend my workout pushing it because I have a wedding to go to and although I have no one to really impress by looking good I'd like to drop a few pounds so I can be comfortable with what I'm wearing. I mean it fit me when I was 10lbs heavier so obviously I'm not worried about that, but I don't mind looking a bit smaller in it. I'll have to figure out how to do my hair though. I also have to find the invitation. I wonder if we'll have to pay for parking? Hmmm.
Also seriously President Obama was not wearing "mom jeans" at that game. I'm not sure what people are making a fuss about.

Today’s Baking Adventure: Chocolate Cookies
Today I made chocolate cookies. I guess they technically came out good, I don't like them but I'm not fond of chocolate cookies.
Today’s baking adventure…
So today I decided to tackle a different type of cake. In my research I found that sponge cake is similar to angel food cake but perhaps a bit more heavy and not as sweet. So I decided to go ahead and make it.
So I think the cake came out great. I made frosting but it seems a bit oily but tastes good so I used a small amount just to cover the top instead of all that I made. Put some sprinkles on it as well. It's a pink cake.

Sugar Cookies
So this afternoon I've decided to make some Sugar Cookies.
Here are the ingredients I used to fthe cookies. Also missing in the picture is the food dye, I've made pink cookies. And I put sprinkles on them as well.
Here is my Kicten Aid Mixer that Brian got me for Christmas. The recipe didn't call for the use of this at all but I figured it would go faster if I used it.
Here is Kaylee helping me the cookies. She just stands and watches really.
The finished cookies!

Cupcakes
I decided to get out the Mixer I got for Christmas and make Cupcakes for Kaylee because she was asking for them. So far with the mixer I've made Angel Food Cake and French Bread. So now it's cupcake time. I made a basic yellow cake recipe and just put that into cupcake cups. I think I accidently put too much into the cups but hey that doesn't matter. Just more to eat!
So here is a picture of them out of the oven and cooling:
I'll post the pictures of them frosted when they cool and are ready.
Here is the finished product:
Here is a photo gallery of some shots of the cupcakes, I tried to be creative:

Back to the Grind…
Finally the holidays are over. Brian is heading back to work on a normal schedule. Activities are picking up again at the group and I'm hoping by everything going back to normal that Kaylee will go back to sleeping normally and her blood sugar numbers being normal.
The DMV sent Brian's license renewal to an address we haven't lived in for nearly 5 years. He had to go in and get it renewed after the fact and they sent it to the correct address. What they didn't do though was change the address apparently because his registration was never sent to us. I checked his car recently to see when it was due and it says Dec. 2008. Great so obviously his registration is not up to date. So tomorrow he's going to head into the DMV and get it done. I just hate that it means we're going to have a late fee on the damn thing because of it. I mean seriously how come they are sending crap to the wrong address? We didn't change our address at all. We got the registration for the car last year at this address. So how does it suddenly change? Stupid DMV.
I'm watching 1408 right now. I have to say I enjoyed this movie. I'm a horror movie buff that's for sure. I like good ones though, not the hack and slash ones. I mean I think the Jason and Freddie movies are cool but I'm more into the thriller type or the type that don't involve too much of "ripping people apart" horror. 1408 really focuses around the guy who is staying in the room and the crap he's been through, a mind thriller mainly. It's an unseen forces thriller which can frankly freak anyone out. "We've only just begun!"
I made French Bread again today. Hopefully this time I made it right. I'm in a baking mood. I think next will be cookies of some sort. I need more kitchen space though for sure to do what I want. Maybe I'll make cupcakes sometime soon as well.
I was trying to think of things I could make to sell online. I'm not sure what is selling though and whether it would be worth it. Like perhaps if I sold blankets. But I'd need to learn to sew and maybe even knit.
Two more weeks and I'm done with school! WOOOHOOOO!! I'm so ready for school to be over that's for sure.
