Cakes

So I am starting my own cake business...I intended to wait until I had more practice and especially planned to wait until my kids were a little older but hey....I dove right in. I'm working on starting my website www.simplysweetbyleslie.com and it is a work in progress as I gather pictures of cakes, cookies and cupcakes that I have made and also sort out pricing so be patient... but here are a few that I have worked on in the past couple of months.

A cake for "someone" who LOVES butter!

Like I said, please be patient cause my sister helps me with my blog background and my brother-in-law is the guru helping me with the rest. BIG thanks to them!

Halloween

We LOOOOOVE this pony. He lives by Nani's house and it's the sweetest, most loveable pony! Yee-Haw!

Playing Catch-up!

Of course we had to go to Cornbelly's! Brigham was the most darling cowboy ridin' the bull!

Isn't this a beautiful girl?! Smiling or not, I LOVE it!

Brigham is the best big brother. He truly loves Brinley with all his heart!

Brinley...Being Brinley

Yep...she too wants to be Indiana Jones.

Loves to give Belle hugs!

Found a place to take a nap. She sees Belle sleep here...must have thought it was a good place!

LOOOOVES to color!

CHEEESE!

Goin' Fishin'

Brinley was scared of the fish and for some reason kept blowing on them???

This was the first of 4 fish! 2 from Brigham all on his own and 2 from Dad's pole he reeled in.

SOOOO FREAKING CUTE!

Camping

I know these are out of order...but here they are!

Of course they come to me when they are cold, tired and cranky...

This is a great picture!

Totally captured the moment! She loves running to Daddy!

Anxiously waiting to go for a ride!

Brigham's impression of a moose.

At this point they were howling at the moon... it was funny.

Jackson Hole

Cowboy Ranch. This was a lot of fun and Brigham was soooo excited to see "real" cowboys. Too bad the allergies and asthma flared up so we made it through the dinner but couldn't make it for the show afterwards. As we were finishing up dinner a cowboy came through and in his "rough cowboy talk" asked if anyone wanted some hot, fresh-brewed coffee....after saying no thanks, Brigham turned to me and said "Mom, do aaaall the cowboys drink coffee?" I said yes and he looked so disappointed cause I think he wanted to be one.

Ahhhh....LOVE!

Brinley loved Dad skipping rocks.

1st Day of Kindergarten

"BEFORE SCHOOL". We couldn't get out the door soon enough! Brigham was dressed and ready to go at 7:45am. "Is it time?" "Is it time now?!" We ended up leaving early, walked very slow and were still 10 minutes early! When it came time to line up and go inside, his teacher Mrs. Lemmon (or Mrs. Melon as Brigham keeps calling her) she said "Wave goodbye to your mommies and daddies".... he waived but didn't even look for me. He was WAY beyond ready to get in there!

"AFTER SCHOOL" Very very happy! I asked if he met any new friends and he named Parker, who is in his Primary class... I asked if he met anybody new at his table and he replied very embarrassed to say "Moooom, there's just ALL girls at my table!" Oh boy!

Brigham's First Tooth Gone!

I sent Brigham to bed tonight telling him to keep wiggling his tooth cause it's been loose for so long and ten minutes later he comes to me telling me it's stuck! He wiggled it to the point it really was stuck and it just needed one snug twist. EWE that sounds gross! But sure enough- it came out into my hand and I freaked out more than he did which made him not know if he should be scared or excited. Anyway, he's very excited for the tooth fairy to come tonight! Maybe because his Pops told him the first tooth out is worth a whoppin' $5.00!!! Nice! Goodbye to my little gap-toothed boy!
