So, we tried more cupcakes a few days ago and I failed to tell you about them. I tried the vanilla cake with choco frosting one from Trophy and DID NOT like the frosting. BLAH! Tasted semi-sweet, which I don't like. So, Ben and Keven ate it. I also tried the Hummingbird one from Trophy. It was banana cake 
(like a muffin) with coconut and pineapple in it(hardly any) with a cream cheese frosting. HOLY MOLY! Can you say, YUMMY?!?! That one was hands down the best one of all. I think I am going to attempt making these (minus the pineapple and coconut, since I didn't even taste them).
Ben had the triple chocolate from Trophy (he shared with Keven) and he said it was really tasty, except it was a bit dry. Now, mind you, it had been a few days since these were purchased, so they were probably more dry than the 1st day. Keven REALLY liked this one. He said it was, "SO YUMMY" and made a lip smacking sound. haha! He just loves chocolate.So, only a few more, which Ben will eat tonight (the coconut ones) and say which one was better, but again... it's been 5 days now, so they won't be so great.
Onto ward business... (I sound like I'm at the pulpit)
My dad was called as 1st counselor in the Bishopric today. He's been in before, but it's been a little while. He was needed to be in there because he's a go getter and makes sure things get done. He doesn't leave stuff hanging. The other new counselor is a young fella. I want to say he's around 26 or 27 and has 4 young children. It will be very challenging for their family, but his wife is strong and there's plenty of us to help out during sacrament.
We have also received word that the ward could be splitting in about 6 months, which is a good thing. We have 100 active Primary/Nursery children (which is NOT normal for our area... remember, we aren't a Utah ward that is primarily young families in the ward that's a 2 block radius!). No one but the Bishop knows the boundaries he submitted for the split. I have a feeling on how it will go, but won't bother saying anything about it, because I really have no clue. We'll see what the next few months brings.
Ben's back is still bothering him, thus hindering our move process. I'll just have to get my butt in gear this week getting things packed and over to my mom's house. I can at least get that going without Ben's help. Time is creeping up on us and it seems nothing is done. I hate when this happens and I hate moving. At least with this move, most of our stuff will be in storage, so when we move out of my parents house, it'll be a MUCH easier move!
That's all for this glorious day. I have stake choir practice tonight, so I need to get ready for that. Goodnight for now!

All those cupcakes sound delish (well most of them anyway!).
That's neat your dad's in the bishopric now. He'll do a good job. So who's the other counselor they put in? Do I know him or are they a new family?
Anyway, hope Ben is feeling better soon and your moving goes well for ya.
Yeah, your Dad already called and gave Jeff the list for who is speaking next week last night. He is soooo happy about that. He might actually get them done before Saturday night now. Woohoo, papa Blackburn!
Are you in 4th ward? It's splitting?? I loved your dad when he was in Bishopric. Everyone always joked about avoiding him because he was always the one to hand out talk assignments.
That's really funny what you said about Aaron Terry. I remember a couple of Christmases ago, my mother-in-law said that she didn't understand why all the girls were so crazy about him, because he wasn't that good looking. Ha! But yeah, he's a really good guy.
