I have been loving the cake mixes lately- must be the cooler fall weather. So I thought I'd share my 3 favorite things to do with a cake mix. These recipes are easy and delicious. Pie Filling Cake Blend one cake mix with 2 eggs and 1-2 cans of pie filling. Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes, or until cake tests done. You can frost it, glaze it, or it's delicious plain! Some delicious combinations: apple pie filling with yellow or spice cake; cherry pie filling with cherry chip or chocolate cake. Pumpkin Spice Cookies Blend one spice cake mix with one 15-ounce can pumpkin. (Alternately, you could use a can of pumpkin pie filling.) You can cook them like that, or mix in chocolate chips or cinnamon chips first. Bake at 350 for 12 minutes. Trifle A favorite, and so versatile! Bake a cake mix according to box directions, using a 9 x 13 pan. Cool. Mix up two small, or one large, boxes of instant pudding. Prepare other add-ins, such as sliced fruit, candy bar pieces, etc. Now...

 I can't believe Joziah is four months old already! It sounds so cliché , but the time really has flown by. He is such a fun, happy little person, as you can see in these photos. He kept sucking in his lower lip every time I tried to take a picture. Each Lloyd baby has used this bouncer seat. It has served us well, although the vibrating feature died 2 kids ago. R ecently we took a little trip to Twin Falls to go through the college's corn maze. It was pretty adventurous for the kids, and afterward we dined at one of our favorite places- Rolbertos. It's a fairly authentic fast food-ish restaurant run by actual Hispanic people. They also provide American food for some of their kids' meals, so several our kids enjoyed chicken nuggets and fries. They all decided to suck from their straws while I shot the picture.
