Stuff That Makes Us Hillarys: Let them eat CAKE! Part 2

...in the beginning...

We are the Hillary family. I can't actually claim all of us to be Hillarys, we've meshed with the Stimpsons, the Doxstaders, the Merrimans, and the Lowreys - but the more you hang around us the more we kind of rub off on you, and poof - you become a Hillary. Which, after reading some of the things that we do might sound like a pretty frightening thing. The disclaimer is that I cannot embarrass any of my children, and I promised. Then I uncrossed my fingers. We love the following people in our family.... Del & Nicole, Matt & Bethany & Drew, Em, and the Noahman Ashley & Mike and Baby Mackadamia and soon to be..., Mandy & Ryan, J-man and Dimples, and Ryan and Katie - yes we own two Ryans! Not pictured: Zoey the German Shephard, Opi the newly adopted puppy, BG & Baby Red the Macaws (the latter two Zoey would eat if put in the same picture). Welcome to our Blog. Don't take us too seriously.... life is meant to have a never ending, bottomless tub of buttered popcorn and laughter.

Let them eat CAKE! Part 2

.... here's how it went down after I posted last night. My amazing 21 year old son came home from the SL Temple all adorable and spiritual and wonderful - to find his mom - standing over the stupid Bundt Pan at 11:30 PM with half of the cake on the plate - and half still in the pan... and saying no no no no no no no no no no no no no - in an unusual unmedicated sort of rambling. I decided to put the pan back over the cake and leave it until morning - and then just make a new cake. When I woke up this morning early, there was my cake, pieced together, perfectly, (ok - so it needed a little extra frosting, ok a LOT of extra frosting on on side) by my son, who absolutely KNEW that I would have a melt down this morning. I'm pretty sure - I NO DOUBT have the winning story, if not the winning cake. Thank You Ryan - for seeing past all of the things in your life, and taking a moment to fix mine. You are my winner. Contest at 6 - maybe I'll post pictures!! ?? if there's any left....
