More DISNEYLAND!







I will get more pictures on later for the fam...my computer hates me, or I just don't know what I'm doing.

DISNEYLAND!

Brigham was just minding his own business enjoying his pasta while he let his sister enjoy Princess time!

Belle somehow stood out as her favorite. We have sooooo many pictures of hugs for Belle!

This was the face we saw a zillion times!!
This was taken 3rd...
2nd...
But this was first and Brinley was sure she was an imposter!!! Can you tell by her evil glare? Maybe she was wanting proof from her fins...who knows?

Love these gals!
What a cutie!
Brinley wasn't quite sure who this was.... but she's beautiful...so why not?
Again...the favorite!
This was taken after the ride... but this sure was spooky the first time through!





My brave little boy was juuuuuuuuuust barely tall enough for his favorite ride! The payless boots gave his the extra 1/4 inch he needed! This was ride #4 or #5 or maybe #6. Not sure?

More Cakes!

My nephew Gehrig was very specific about needing chocolate and vanilla cake with green stripes and dots. His mom and I thought strawberry buttercream was just the right finishing touch. YUUUUM-O! Tho I had to rush myself on this one....his friend party has greater expectations with a camping scene cake!
This weekend was full of cakes and it's not letting up this week either.....

I'm so glad my #1 cake tester doesn't let his lactose intolerance keep him from enjoying a slice of heaven!




Koleman had such great expectations for his birthday and he had a picture in mind that I had to recreate for him...hope I did Spongebob and Krabby-Patty justice!




And there was no way I wan't getting myself a really great hamburger after making a giant one out of cake! Thank you JCW's!
On to Pirate Cake, Camping Scene, Giant Cupcake Cake, Cupcakes and Dot Cake!!!

Family Bowling Night

We need to do this more often! It was really fun! And Brigham almost beat me...what a natural!





Move over Martha Stewart!

I hosted a Valentine's dinner party/reunion with my friends I met my first summer doing summer sales and we had great time! It was so fun to pull out my best China....


and get a beautiful floral arrangement from my favorite florist (Every Bloomin' Thing)
and my little additions such as these yummy rasberries floating in a Raspberry/Pear Bubbly, rimmed with Sugar was the final touch to make my table quite the show piece. I loved it!
And that was just the decor. So if you have ever had to back out of one of my dinner parties....here is a taste of what you might have missed. Yes I'm bragging, but I love to be a great hostess!

Back from Haiti

Home Safe and Sound! We are so glad they were able to go and make a difference!

Oh Dear!

I was so glad to stumble upon these pictures! Here is my Dad, obviously being a good leader and directing others. He looks so tired to me :(
And then there is a giant arrow pointing to my cute brother Sam, who like many others, were trying to help the Haitian people by buying their food and in result... got sick and was resting with these others who did the same thing. My Dad also saw a bag of Costco trail mix and asked if they were ok to have..... he was told yes but then later was told by another that they were for the haitian workers. Without details... my Dad was sick for 2 days. Many are being so kind as to buy their food to help them, but knew to be smart and throw it away.
