Jan 22 & 23 cakes

January 22 was Amanda's baby shower. I hosted the shower with her step mother Cheryl. We had Valle Luna - only the best mexican food for my friend with cravings. Doug made the cake. I planned the games and prizes. It was a good day.
Sunday Bryan was in Drill weekend for the Navy reserves. Doug made a retirement cake and we all went down to where they hold the drill. The other Guys and Gals in his drill unit brought food and drinks. What a great way to celebrate retirement.

Birthdays

Our friend Larry turned another year older the other day. For the occassion I asked Doug to make these special cookies. The first attempt failed, and don't ask me to decorate because my cookies were lame. Here is the end result. I think they are really cute and super funny.

it has been a while hasn't it.

So its been a while since I have been on here. Have you all missed me?

Working on the baby room and getting stuff ready while I am off work. Thats about all that I have been doing.

family camping trip

in June we went with Jan and Janzen, Kevin and Dianna, Amanda and Jed camping at Woods Canyon Lake outside of Payson. It was COLD and my child would not sleep in her own sleeping bag. First time for me to sleep in a tent. It wasn't bad, but was happy to be home sleeping in my own bed. We played a game of baseball with the kids boys vs girls and the girls won. Boys were not very happy. Janzen taught all the kids to shoot a bow and arrow. They had craft time, then played a golf ball game that was really hard.

More cakes.

I can't believe he has done some many, it started in 2008. He gets a little better with every cake he does. Amanda and him make a great team.

older cakes

These 3 cakes were made April 16 & 17 wow! What a LONG day. The bob and larry cake and hannah montana guitar were made for friends of mine for their daughter. And the LA Kings Hockey cake was made for my brother Chris on his 41st birthday.

fun with cakes

My husband was pretty busy this week making cakes. He made a graduation cake and a star wars cake. For my daughters birthday party, my best friend made the cake and cupcakes and planned the party, yeah she's pretty awesome. The truth is because my husband was taking FOREVER on the star wars cake. We had a great birthday party. I like cake but now have had enough for a while. My birthday and Amanda's birthday are around the same time so we will definatly have one more in July.

Horrible week

I am so glad this week is over. It has been the worst week ever. I have gone to two funerals for two amazing people. I am sad they will not be in my life any longer. I am sad for the children who are with-out thier parents.

Then another cousin of mine has a seizure on Wednesday, and to top it all off there are little squabbles going on inside another side of the family. Honestly, I couldn't take anymore on my plate after the funerals. I am really looking forward to having the time to reflect on what matters most in our lives and how to cherish the memory of the two that have gone from this world into the next.

Last night we decorated 2 cakes and this morning still have one to do.

time marches on.....
