AHHHHHH.......That's More Like It!!

Sniff....Deep breath.....Sigh! I love it! It has been an absolutely gorgeous day! I feel like I've been waiting soooo long for sunny skies and warm air. When Spring comes, I mean "really" comes it feels so free! It's just so nice to open the windows and let the breeze blow through. I actually sat outside today to wait for Brock's bus. It was so amazing. I know it is sort of odd to go on and on but I am just so thankful for this day. I love to stop and enjoy the beautiful things around me. The grass, the blue sky with fluffy white clouds, the smile on my little boy's face as he runs home from the bus stop. Ok ok I'm done! :)

So I have another date with a cake. My sister has asked me to make a cake for my niece's first birthday. Yea! I want it to be so pretty! I already have some ideas floating around. My sister has given me all creative rights. I can't give details incase she reads my blog! I'm not going *all* out because like most 1 year olds I'm sure she'll dig in and tear down!! Her party is on April 10th so I won't have any pics until then. Well I'm going to go finish enjoying this beautiful day!!!

Thanks!

Its always nice to get compliments, especially when your insecure about something. I am so critical of my cake decorating. I really appreciate the comments girls (you know who you are!!). It really means a lot. I enjoy the decorating immensely but I'm so very critical of myself. I take pictures of the cakes that I do but rarely share them with anyone but my mom. I guess we always tend to be harder on ourselves than others are. I don't know about you but I notice things that most people probably wouldn't. You know what I mean? I'll notice something about my house or a cake, some imperfection and then get all insecure about it. I feel the need to like apologize or something so I point it out to guests or cake recipients. They usually always say "what" "where" followed by my really pointing it out!! Why do I do that? Why do we do that to ourselves?

Introducing... Springy Cake

Well here it is! I am very tired! I wanted to post the pics tonight because I am just exhausted and I'll be busy tomorrow all over again! The cake didn't turn out quite how I had pictured but then do they ever?

Date With A Cake

Well Spencer decided to stay home from work today so I'm finding myself with a little free time again! Tyson is taking his afternoon nap and the majority of my house work is done, so here I am again! My mom called about an hour ago and asked for a last minute "favor". It turns out that tomorrow is Tina's (my bro's fiance) birthday. My mom has asked me to bake the cake hence the title "Date With A Cake". I had absolutely no idea what kind of cake to make for her. I don't know her that well yet and my brother was really no help! He said "anything is fine". Wow that really narrows it down! So I've decided that since we just welcomed Spring (although you can hardly tell) I will create a "Springy cake". Not the bouncy kind, the pastel and flowers kind! I'll try to post some pictures after its all done. I'm actually kind of excited because I haven't done a cake in about a month or so. Its time to get back into practice mode. I have to get busy on my miniature practice wedding cake for my brother. I don't want to feel any pressure when the real time comes! It will be the first actual wedding cake for me! Yikes say a lot of prayers!!

Hello!

Well here I am! This is my new blog home... Well at least for now! I've been thinking of moving for quite sometime now and tonight I had the time! Spencer came home early from work not feeling well. He went to bed (which is right where he should be) and I fed the boys and then put them to bed. So now here I am with free time! That let me tell you, does not happen often! Not that I don't absolutely love my family but.... I have to say its been awhile since I've had time to just hang out and, do well not much! Sometimes as much as you enjoy those you love you still appreciate those times alone. It's so funny I can remember being a teenager and thoroughly hating being alone. I despised being alone at that time of my life. I wanted to be out doing something, anything but being alone. Now I appreciate it! I love being a mom don't get me wrong but every once and a while it's nice to sit back take a deep breath and know that no one will tug at your leg for juice! Hehe! I love my little guys! It's hard to believe that they've grown so much. Sometimes I look at them and wonder where all that time has gone. I know my parents must feel that way about me. Yesterday we went to Brock's Spring program for school which was held where I attended High School. My parents came to watch Brock sing and it was all so strange. There we all were together where I walked the halls with all my books ten years ago. I had so many memories! I remembered meeting my best pal in the commons (she ended up marrying my cousin). In a way it was kind of neat to be there. The halls where all locked up so I couldn't explore my old class rooms but it was still fun. Brock did a great job and we all had a great time. Tyson even enjoyed all the singing and helped out a time or two!
