Chocolate Chip Bundt Cake

1 yellow cake mix with pudding (will say that on the box) - I prefer Pillsbury moist supreme.
1 sm. pkg chocolate instant pudding
1/2 C. sugar
3/4 C. vegetable oil
3/4 C. water
4 large eggs
1 C. sour cream
1 C. semi-sweet chocolate chips

Combine first 3 ingredients. Stir w/ fork or wire whip to remove large lumps. Add remaining ingredients except choc. chips. Stir until smooth. Stir in choc. chips. Pour into greased/floured (the Pam with flour works awesome) bundt pan. Bake @ 350 for 1 hr. (in my oven I only do 50 min. because it's a fast oven, and also because I like it super moist) Cool 10 min. on a wire rack in the pan. Remove from pan and cool completely. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve!

I am not a frosting fan and the beauty of this cake is that it is so moist and delicious that you don't need frosting! ENJOY!!

Birthdays and haircuts!

It has been a BUSY BUSY week! I have already had four meetings and one activity for my new job at church, and now I need to learn how to cook with a dutch oven so I can teach all the girls about it on Wednesday! Other than that, I sprinkled in a get together with friends, having a family over for dinner Friday night, Jack's 5th birthday party on Saturday, and a family party for him today. Unfortunately our camera battery was dead and I didn't get one single picture of Jack and his cute pirate friends at the party. Luckily our video camera was up and running and we got video footage. Some day I will learn how to post video for you to watch. It was hilarious. Our camera was charged today, so I have a couple of pic for you anyway.

Max with his new Summer hair-do! Sorry Mom, I know you like him better with hair, but it was just too bushy! His noggin looked too big for his body!

The boys sharing their Pinata treats!

Jack - in his swimsuit - with his favorite cake (Chocolate chip bundt cake - to die for - I will post the recipe for any interested parties!) That is his cousin (my brother Dave's oldest) Andrew in the background imitating his pose. Yes, these two are related by blood, and yes it is still April here, not August!

I'm still working on my friends and soundtracks posts...look for them soon ...I hope!
