Update...

So, this blog is going private too. E-mail me or just post on here if you want your e-mail on the "safety list".

Also, I have decided that if Mallory doesn't have her baby I am going down to Las Vegas for Easter to go to the picnic with my mom and sisters.

Blake will be at a track meet in Queen Creek on Friday the 29th of February. Anybody who wants to go watch him jump in welcome to but you will have to pay to get in.

3 tsp. vanilla
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 c. cocoa

1 c. nuts
1 c. miniature marshmallows

Cream sugar and butter. Add eggs and beat. Sift flour, cocoa and salt. Add to sugar mixture. Add vanilla and nuts. Pour into a greased 9x13 inch pan. Bake 30 minutes at 350 degrees. Take out and cover with marshmallows. Put back in oven for 5 minutes. Take out and frost.

Frosting

3 1/2 c. powdered sugar
2 sticks butter
1/2 c. cocoa
1 c. nuts 1 tsp. vanilla

Finally

So, mom finally got a blog! I,(Marti) have been bugging her for ages and she finally told me to make one for her because she has tried but doesn't know how. I guess we'll have to get some pictures (I have none yet).
