our big boy is 1

Cody is now one year old. It's fun to think, "one year ago we didn't have Cody". It doesn't feel like we've always had him, but I can't imagine life without him. His good nature and easy smile is just what our family needs! Thank goodness for Cody!

I made a sugar free cake. I was sceptical, but it turned out really good. Good enough to pass along the recipe:

Oat Cake:

1 C water

1/2 C butter

3/4 C honey

2 C oat flour (oatmeal in the blender until floury)

1/2 C flour

1t baking soda

1/2 t salt

1 1/2 t cinnamon

2 eggs

1/2 C yogurt (I used vanilla flavor yogurt)

1 C chopped fruit (I used peaches)

Combine water, butter and honey in 3-quart sauce pan. Heat to boiling; remove from heat. Stir together dry ingredients and add to heated mixture, mixing well until blended. Add eggs, yogurt and peaches; mix well. Bake in greased 9x13 pan at 375 for 30-40 minutes.

I frosted with cream cheese frosting, and tried to get fancy with a cake decorating kit I found at a garage sale. notice there are no pictures of my handy work.... I still need practice
