the brody bear and i went to the zoo today and it was won-der-ful! pure bliss i tell you. the weather was a dream. the warm sun was shinning a light breeze blew and lots of fun animals to see. we loved it. brody L-O-V-E-D it! he always has loved the zoo. but its been a few months due to our horrific winter, and going today was probably one of the most fun times we've had there. brody just ate up those animals, telling them 'hi', 'hi guys', 'bye', and 'bye guys' a hundred times, checkig out the 'fishies', waving and blowing kisses to the elephants, ahhh be still my heart he just loved the animals and i love him. such a great time!

for our evening we went to our church's chili and chocolate cook-off. i entered this...





i called it...CHOCOLATE FORTRESS! and i won for most chocolatey dessert! fun! we had a really fun evening hanging out with friends and testing out lots of yummy chili and eating some yummy chocolate desserts. winning was just a bonus!

it was pretty simple my friends, pretty simple...
how to win a chocolate cook-off...
step one: bake a chocolate cake in 2 - 8inch rounds (i like the betty crocker chocolate cake mix) yes i used a box.
step two: make some vanilla frosting and put it between the two rounds
step three: top with some hot fudge topping
step four: use a tub of chocolate frosting to attach pepperidge farm creme filled pirouette choclate fudge rolled wafers (yum) and add some chocolate dollips of frosting on top of the cake add some wafer decor and viola!!!

happy weekend!!!
