Fun with the kids!

Brigham's choice of restaurant....anywhere he can watch a game and have a steak!

Brinley's choice....anywhere she can get a ton of ketchup!

Our puppy sitting day was so much freaking fun!!!

Look closely.... this is my new puppy who will not close her mouth.

Look closely and you will see my chubby bear in the tree. (where's Waldo moment) and he was so proud and I was so scared!

Better late than never....

Happy Birthday Brinley!

Very hard to find a moment of him smiling at his performance. His nerves get him every time!

I will forever miss this smile with so many missing teeth!

Great time at the ice castle!

Little gymnast!

Cade and Pops doing their thing.

Picture-Redo....

ya... Brinley said a jumping picture was a must!

New Name!

So with all that as happened this year in going into business with my mom and sister, it's brought forth some changes. While I began as Simply Sweet Cakes and Treats, I am now merging with Carmela's Cottage. A name that means so much, and is the right fit to continue and grow my name and talent along with. What started as a darling cottage set for small events and cooking classes has grown into so much more! Now to add to is a cupcake cafe; also offering custom cakes, wedding cakes and other sweet treats. It has been a lot of work and is continuing to grow. Hope you will all follow me there!!

Family Picture...sorta

It was an "off" day for pictures, this is what we got and we'll take it! Nothin' fancy...just us.

Big Day for Brigham!

Miss Brinley

Let's just leave it with this picture instead of the one we have when we first got to the hospital. Brinley is doing better than great! She is doing amazing considering what her poor body experienced. We got THE BEST possible outcome and we couldn't be more grateful. She still has the occasional headache and can hear muffled talking in the ear that she landed on but is expected to be totally fine in maybe a few more weeks. The only thing making her crazy is the down time. Go figure, my lazy lizard is finally sick of being lazy when now is the time she needs to be to recover. Thanks for all the love and prayers for Brindle-pants!!

Our crazy-busy summer....so far

Working on tumbling! It's not that hard for her.

                                           This boy is aching to line his room with trophy's!

                                So happy soccer s starting right back up to get ready for the fall!

As of this last wednesday night it is EMPTY! I would never wish moving on anyone!

Lovin' on Belle

Havin some Bridger time

The kids and Belle could spend all day playing in the creek.

We get a lot of girl time at the baseball games!
