Prince Jace

My daughter is Sleeping Beauty one day, Cinderella the next, and Snow White the next. Jace is always the handsome prince. He'll be glad one day to know that she totally has it figured out and he never had to be a princess.

I've been a little busy and behind on some blog posts.

First an update on Jace. 4 months. He seems to be growing into himself a little, he had only gained 1 and 1/2 lb since 2 months, but Dr. was not concerned and neither am I. You could call him Mr. Smiley. And a flirt. If I may say, he loves his mommy :) He totally doesn't mind when I smother his face with kisses. And at 5 in the a.m. his eyes pop open and he starts smiling immediately, pretty hard to keep up with him if you know what I mean! He's found his voice and screeches alot, which is cute so far.
He's rolled over and loves doing it. He'd really just like to get up and run around I think. But I really hope he takes his time. This is going by WAY too fast - I just had to schedule is 6 month appointment already!

Paige's Dream

This morning on the way to drop the kids off at my parents house, Paige told me that she had a bad dream last night. I asked her what happened in her dream:

"I said Momma I fell down and you said Oh No you got dirt on your pants! And I said Yeah, I did!....it was like that."

Smile.

Cake of the Year - Part 2

I decided to first post My Inspiration:

Some cakes are totally amazing, some are mediocre...I totally cannot do Fondant or whatever it is...so you see, I thought I knew my limits but could still make a fabulous castle cake. Couldn't I?

Well, turns out my cake was LESS than medicore, waaaaaaaaaaay less.

WHAT IS THAT??!?!?!?!?

Now to be fair to myself, of course the above picture is missing the most crucial parts of the castle - the towers. Which were the only part of the whole thing that I made that actually worked. We stopped at Costco and got a big flat white cake, I still used the towers and the Princesses and made a Castle Courtyard cake instead. It worked.

Now I laugh at myself - I mean seriously...a fabulous castle cake can only be done by someone with experience. Something I certainly don't have! Now...if I could make a castle cake out of an excel spreadsheet, then we would be in business!

Cake of the Year!

Now that I'm done with school and have soooo much time on my hands (HA!) I was so excited to make Paige's birthday cake for her bday party this past weekend. My brilliant plan unfolded and I bought the supplies more than a week in advance. I researched, daydreamed and visualized until I had the perfect cake and I really thought it was going to be...a piece of cake. (Ha, I love puns).

Come Wednesday and Thursday I began feeling oddly nauseous, just like I was pregnant. Yikes! I kicked it (the weird little bug) around and toughed it out W, Th and Friday and by Friday night I felt pretty icky. (But never got head-in-the-toilet-bowl-sick, just lay-around-sick). I felt sick enough that I decided I probably shouldn't make the food & cake for the bday party on Saturday though. My knight in shining armour, The-man-who-always-gets-to-say-Itoldyouso, My husband, said, "It's ok, we'll just pick one up in the morning." GASP!

After some pouting (that is, me pouting) he asked, What is with having to make some fancy cake? I always had a square cake with frosting and it was good enough. I'm sure you know how that question and answer session went over. Well, it DID end with him agreeing to make the cake and hopefully I would be better in the morning to put together my masterpiece. Yes, it would be a masterpiece, the cake of the year NO DOUBT!

Hmmm.....what shall I post first - My Inspiration or My Masterpiece?
I haven't decided yet and I've ran out of time for now...check back soon to see a cake that truly puts ALL others to shame.
