Sleepy Lil' Man...

This is Jacob right after we pulled into our driveway. We went to our friend's house to celebrate their daughter being hospital free for a year! The hospital people told her that she would have to be hospitalized every time she got a cold. Well Jacob had so much fun with the other children he wore himself out!

Growing too fast!

Here is Hannah on her first day of 2nd grade!

Where has all the time gone? It really seems like yesterday she was a lil' babe.

Hannah was so excited about her 1st day that I went to her room to wake her up but she was already dressed and ready to go. Let me tell you that is not like her at all! You usually have to drag her out of bed in the morning.
We are all set for a great year!

Cars Cake!

Here is the cake I made for my son's 2nd birthday! He loves the movie Cars so we decided to do a Cars themed party. I was looking at cakes everywhere but could not find an easy looking one to make. My searching either led me to tiered cakes or ones that where done with fondant (which I know nothing about). I finally found one that someone cut out into the shape of a Two. I thought it was perfect, until the time came to make it. I was thinking "how in the world is the cake not going to fall to pieces when I frost it" So that's when I came up with the idea to frost the top like a road in the shape of a two and decorate it like a road and add cars to it. Then frost the rest of the top like grass. It really was a lot easier than my 1st plan. I was very pleased on how it came out, since it was my very first cake that I have decorated. My mother-in-law, Gaytha frosted the sides and red ribbon parts. I still have a lot to learn.

Easy Truck Cake!

This is the cake I made for my son's 1st birthday party. The theme was "Construction". We had construction hats, safety cone to hold the balloons, caution tape and this Truck Cake! It was perfect and easy. At the Dollar store I also found candles that said Happy Birthday that where on little sticks.

Recipe:
2 baked 8- or 9-inch round cakes
2 3-oz. pkgs. prepared chocolate pudding
3 to 4 cups chocolate cookie crumbs
1 Dump Truck (washed out)


1. Cut the cakes into 3-inch-long slices, then cut them in half.

2. Layer the cake, pudding, and crumbs in the clean dump truck

Thats it!
