Birthday Party Numero 7

Can you believe Briana is now 7!?!? She loves the movie, Camp Rock, as well as the Jonas Brothers, so we had to have a "Camp Rock" birthday party. It was great! The weather was perfect and she had a good time.

Halloween Fun

So Halloween was fun, but seemed like it lasted forever! A week before Halloween, we went "trunk-or-treating" at church, then had a Halloween party to attend the next night. That weekend was crazy in the fact that I had to make sure all costumes were put away for the next night and so on. Then Halloween finally arrived and I was so tired of it!

Not much fun.....

Isaac developed a nasty staph infection on his left buttocks last week. We went to the E.R. on Sunday and was there for 5 hours. The doctor had to lance the abcess and shoved a rather large Q-tip inside and Isaac was screaming in pain! I hated watching - it was horrible!

We left and thought that with the atibiotics prescribed, he would be okay. Well.....on Tuesday, we followed up with his regular peditrician and he decided to admit Isaac to the hospital, since he started having a hight fever and the site actually got bigger.

When he was finally admitted, a few hours passed and he went into surgery to have the rest of the area drained and a temporary drain put in. It was a quick procedure, which today, has helped! His little booty is still sore, but he's feeling a lot better! I hate staph infections - YUCK!!

First Day of First Grade!!

Briana and Kaitlyn are in the first grade!! They are NOT in the same class - we requested, but have aready managed to get into some trouble in their P.E. class. For the most, they have enjoyed the first week together.

They love having backpacks this year, since they didn't get to have them last year. Hooray for school!!

Cake - Yumm-O!

I made this cake for a baby shower. It was chocolate with chocolate icing and the baby was made out of fondant icing. This was one of my favorite cakes to make! I am not a huge fan of fondant icing, due to the flavor, but I do like working with it. It makes cakes stand out. It took about 3 hours total to make the baby.

It was a HUGE hit at the baby shower. Everyone loved it and the guest of honor saved the face - I think to eat it when the baby arrives. :o)

You know......it reminds me of Charlie Brown!

I made this pink cross cake for Alonzo's cousin. Her daughter was getting baptized and wanted a cross cake. The cake was marble flavor and pink buttercream icing with a fondant bow.

The bow took a while to make, but was a beautiful finishing touch. Everyone loved the cake!

I made these chocolate covered apples and strawberries for Alonzo cousin that got married last month. I even made these in a hotel the day of the wedding! It was very easy to make and once again, everyone loved them!

Spaghetti Boy!!!!

Need I say more? This boy LOVES spaghetti! He likes to wear it all over too. :)

Fun Birthday Cake!

This past weekend, my niece had a pool party to celebrate her 5th birthday. I was asked to make her birthday cake and I have to say, I was pretty surprised with the outcome! It was so cute! I love to bake and decorating it is even more fun!

All he wants to do is Dance!

And that's all! Isaac loves music and dances everytime he hears music. This time, we were cleaning Briana's room because we got a desk for her to do her drawing and writings with and put our PC in her room because we haven't had it up for a long thin. We were going through our computer with all the thousands of songs we have and we were playing some and decided to catch Isaac in the act. It's so cute!

Summer has arrived......EARLY!

Yes it has! It feels like summer and it's still officially two weeks away! I can't believe how hot it is. That only means that when summer gets here, it is going to be miserable.

Well, it is nice that my in-laws have a swimming pool that we have been indulging in. This is Isaac's first time swimming and he was okay with his feet in the water, but then Alonzo decided he needed to get all the way in and Isaac did not like it! But the water seemed to warm up very quickly and Isaac decided he really likes the pool! Of course Briana loves the water. She took swimming lessons two years ago and she has forgotten how to swim. But that hasn't stopped her from jumping into the water - with her floatation device snugly attached.

Isaac is so relaxed

I thought this year I would enjoy yard work. We've been in our house now for a year and a half and most of that time was spent pregnant, then having a new baby last spring and then before I knew, Briana was starting out in Kindergarten and then fall and winter came. So this year, I was trying my hardest to keep up with yard work. Well, with the "summer" heat - it's too HOT! But I have done a little watering of the grass in the backyard and that's about it.
