While sitting in the doctor's office last friday I came upon this recipe in a Martha Stewart magazine. Anyone who knows me...knows I love cheesecake!!! Actually we all do. Dave, Brook, Tay...we are all fans. Well, I made these on Sat and we gobbled them all up!!!! I made another batch tonite (per Dave's request) and I hope I can stay away from them!! This can't be helping my diet. If anyone wants the recipe let me know..Im too tired to type it right now:) The recipe is from the Comstock Fruit Pie Filling Brand. We used cherry and blueberry pie filling but any flavor would do or even fresh fruit!!! Enjoy the pic!!!

Last friday we headed up to Orem to attend Dave's aunt Kathy's funeral. She was recently diagnosed with cervical cancer and then they found out it spread to her brain and other parts of her body. It was a very fast and aggressive cancer and we are so glad that she did not have to suffer long. The funeral was beautiful and everything went perfect. The songs that were sung we so beautiful and the speakers did an amazing job. Dave was able to sing with the rest of his siblings and all of his cousins. They sang "Family's can be Together Forever " and I think everyone in the whole chapel was in tears. It was cold and rainy the morning of the funeral but as we walked out of the chapel to go to the cemetary it was a so sunny and it stayed that way during the whole time we were at the cemetary. Dave was a pallbearer along with his brother and cousins. It was a beautiful service. We are so thankful to have known Kathy in this life and we are sure we will see her again. She was such a strong, vibrant, happy woman and we still can't believe this has all happened. Her husband Mike and son Tyler have remained so strong through all of this. Kathy was an amazing woman and we are going to miss her!!!!!
