Too cute...

Aside from taking a one year old to church...one is my favorite age. Raegan is at that perfect age where she's still a "baby" but yet such a big girl at the same time. She is loving to climb up on things and explore. She loves to take things apart and it is so neat to see her actually learning about her surroundings. I love to stop with her and let her feel leaves, and moss, and grass. She is so amazed by it all!! At the grocery store it is so cool to just take an extra 2 minutes and let babies feel a pineapple or a kiwi. The expression on her face is so worth it! Raegan so far is my climber. She climbs on everything. Tatum and Carson were NOT like this. They were both very timid and afraid of the unknown. Not our baby Rae. She is all about new things and loves it. We love you, Raegan...thanks for being so darn cute!!

When did life become so crazy that the very thought of logging in to my blog and posting some pictures became "too much". Shame on me! I need to do better. I know it's only been a couple of weeks since my last post, but in earlier years and months I would post a few times a week. So things have been busy around here. And a little crazy. I applied for a TLC Cake competition show with Cake Boss. And was denied. But that's ok. Wow, it was such a great experience applying and putting together my submission. The kids have been keeping me busy and Raegan is climbing everywhere! Here are some recent pics from the past week!

Kiddos and some cake...

Yes, I'm still here. I realized that I haven't been as diligent in my blog lately. I feel bad about that. I keep a blog for the kids. I want to get blog books printed for each one of them and copied into a pdf. I have been so busy the last month. It hasn't really made the time go fast or anything but at least I'm not bored. I am excited for things to slow down in August and spend more time just hanging out with the kids. And maybe folding laundry. Maybe.





















Damask...

I have been wanting to do a damask style wdding cake for a long time now. I finally got my chance! It was much harder and time consuming than I thought. But I'm happy with the end result. It looked so nice set up at the venue with the topper and flowers. Thanks Cricut Cake for the nice monograms!!!






Retired...

This was a cute little retirement cake I did for a nice lady who served 20 years in the Navy. I love that it is both patriotic and feminine.






Luau!

I recently did this Luau cake and I love love LOVE it! So much fun to do... I love telling a story through cake. : )
