The Party Dress

I don't know how I have never come across this website before! It's absolutely gorgeous parties and tips and inspiration. Very fun.

The Party Dress

Here's a little sample...

March Pictures

Kimberly and Abigail came down to visit a few times this month. So we had lots of time for the cousins to play at Grandma and Grandpa's.

Abigail think Sophia is amazing with her bubble blowing skills. Griffin needed a little trim. Such a big boy!

Then he got so sleepy he had to crawl up in his Grandpa's bed to get a little shut-eye!

This past weekend we had a baby shower for Marisa and Baby Don (due May 10th). It was a great party. I did the cake and the banners, Kim always has the vision! Pretty good team! Marisa looks so adorable.

Abigail gave me the biggest, cheesiest smile possible, I think!

Auntie Ris with her little nieces. Hope you had a great March! I'll put the rest of my pictures on Kodak later thisweek.

New Blog

I have decided to create a new blog to share all of my cakes! I'm hoping to start making cakes more often and for more than just close friends and family. We'll see where this little step takes me... Please feel free to start mentioning me to anyone who might be interested in a cake. The link is below and please don't forget to add a link to your own blog page (or at least to your favorites)! ~Enjoy

Silly Hair Day & Brownies

A couple weeks ago Sophia had silly hair day at preschool.

She told me she wanted two long piggies off the sides

and braids in the back... Here she is!

Griffin Boy is really good at saying "CHEEEEEEEESE!"


The next day we decided to make some brownies.
Sophia was a good little mixer...

And they are both really good when it's time to cleanup...

Have a great week!

Wow! Wow! Wubbzy Cake

The fun party decorations...
The cake I made to coordinate...

And the adorably happy birthday girl! (And beautiful big sister in the background!)

Boys and Girls

Soooo different in so many ways. I had some scraps of ribbon and gave one to Sophia and one to Griffin. Here is what Sophia promptly went and did with it (even hanging it on the fridge herself):

And here's what the little man went and did with it:

I am always amused with these two. That's for sure. :o)

Remember...

Always wash your hands...

And always try to make people smile! :o)

Check out my February album in the list for more silly pictures!

Snow Day!

Splish Splash

Silly Talk

Sophia just informed me that she needed to take off the ring she was wearing because it was giving her blizzards.

In other news... Griffin has a new word this week. "Mine." Yuck. I do not like hearing that.

Baby Jake's 1st Cake

Wow - I'm kind of on a roll with the new posts! And the cakes! So I did this cake for one of my preschool mom friends. Her little guy turned one and had his party the same weekend as the bumble bee baby shower that I did the cake for (posted a few days ago). It was a busy weekend, but fun to do these cakes for such special people. Jake's mom was very appreciative. In fact she came and visited and watched a little while I decorated. Such a great lady! I was so busy chit-chatting, though, I forgot to take pictures of the cake before I sent it off with her. She shared these photos with me, though. It looks really cute! She did the toppers herself, which saved me some time on my busy, busy weekend.

Happy Valentine's

Hope everyone had (or is still having) a nice Valentine's day. We had a lovely day (despite the ridiculous amount of rain and my horrible chest cold). My Valentine's actually started yesterday when Kyle surprised me with a card and some calla lilies, my favorite. He brought home a balloon too, but that was more for the kids, and it had a hole in it by bedtime. Anyway, I saved my card for today since the flowers were an early surprise. I returned the favor and made him some chocolate chip cookies.

This morning Sophia had preschool. We took Valentines for all her classmates. They had a fun little party at the end of class. Then we had a lunch date with her friend Isabella, who also does ballet with her. The kids had a nice little play session, then it was time for ballet. After ballet we headed home. Kyle got home early (well, 4:30 - but that's really early for him these days) and we all opened our gifts. I got the kids some new bath towels and few treats, Kyle got a big container of licorice and some sweet tarts, and I opened my card that went with my lovely flowers. I broiled some steaks and we watched Charlie Brown's Valentine special, and that was that. It was a long day, but very fun! Now I'm excited to watch some TV and have a little down time. Happy Valentine's Day, hope it was filled with love.
