Jill's birthday was actually yesterday. She was way nice to come over and help with work stuff (she's training to be an appraiser). I felt bad having her come in on her big 28th birthday celebration, but I've been slammed lately so she came in all morning to help get stuff caught up. I woke up early, got a good work out in, the kids were sleeping in a little later than normal (7:30ish rather than 7:00!) so I decided to make Jill a yummy treat to say thank you and happy birthday. I decided to make "coffee cake muffins" a personal favorite and a family tradition for birthday breakfast. Everything is from scratch...they're delicious! I thought, "hey lets double this, that way I can give some to Steve and Mandy (Mandy watches my kids on Wednesdays) and I'll even have a few left for Matt after work!" I was so proud of myself for thinking of others for a change. They were baking and smelling so delicious! The kids were awake by now and in the tub. I was running back and forth between the bathroom and kitchen to check on these muffins (heaven forbid they burn). Only a few more seconds to go....
The timer went off, I ran back, opened the oven, took them out...and.......
Well, what a disaster. They went crashing to the floor. There was only one halfway normal looking muffin, so I gave that to Jill and said "Happy Birthday." Thanks Jill for all you do! I'd be even more crazy without your help!
Jill has a blog folks! Check it out! Glad you finally joined the blogging world!

It has been forever, and I have obviously missed a lot! Ok first of all, my birdnest cupcakes went spilling all over the floor on easter...so much for time and effort. Anyway, Canyonlands looks like so much fun you stacie and katie, it is so fun to see you guys still together all the time. Also, marathon...come on...you guys are amazing!!!
It's the thought that counts right?
this is for sure what would happen to me if I was to bake from scratch-so I just don't. they look yummy though-at least you had one left!
