It's Friday....Feelin' Brave

Ok so I'm taking a cue from my sis-in-law Lisanne. In her latest post she invited her blog land friends to ask her questions about herself. So I usually DON'T ever do things like that but today I am! Go ahead ask me! I can't guarantee an answer for every question. I am shy and if it's to personal I might not answer. I have to admit I am really looking forward to seeing what kinds of questions you might ask. Ok here goes!

I've added a page for quiz and question answers. Check in for the anwers to the questions you asked me! There's a link on the right side of my main blog. :)

Happy Birthday Babe... It Was A Pi- zza Cake!!

Fondant: Crust, Mushrooms and Pepperoni
Butter Cream Icing Sauce and Shaved White
Chocolate For The Cheese


Today is my husband's 28th birthday!!! He just adores pizza and I am convinced without a doubt that if he had remained single it would have been pizza in the mornin', pizza in the evenin', pizza at supper time!! LOL!! Those of you who know him personally will agree!! So I made him a pizza cake! It's not my best work but then again it's my first one! I had a lot of fun with it and I hope he'll like it.

Happy Birthday Honey I Love You! I Hope You Enjoy The Cake!!

OLE`.......Hey Look At That Hat!!



I wasn't present for this little episode but Spencer took pics! So I decided to do a double post for today because this was too cute!! Tyson despises using the potty so I guess he found something more useful to do with the seat! (In his world anyway!) Notice how he then checked himself out in the glass doors of the fireplace! LOL!!!

God....I'm glad you love me!! Note to self: ALWAYS check under the bed!

Sometimes that's all you can say! I want to share what my day has been like but I'm not sure where to begin! This morning I had a major hyperventilation attack brought on by the sheer panic of not knowing where my child was. Brock had over slept. I woke him up (no big deal) then proceeded down the hall to Tyson's room. I peeked in and no Tyson. I wasn't surprised sometimes he wakes up wanders around with pillow and blanky in hand and rests quietly until someone else wakes up. So I go downstairs to say goodmorning and no Tyson. I decide not to freak out. I think to myself I must have just missed him. I go back upstairs and no Tyson anywhere. Brock and I are searching franticly shouting for Tyson and no Tyson. I checked closets,the garage, the guest room, the bathroom, outside and back in again. By this point I'm finding it increasingly difficult to breath!! I call my husband who must have thought that I'd had the worst news ever by my tone!!! I told him Tyson was gone! He said that Tyson couldn't be gone, he was just in his bed 15 minutes ago! Brock is in tears I am near tears when we go back upstairs yelling again! All of a sudden MUCH to our surprise little cute adorable Tyson comes crawling out from underneath his bed!!!!!!!!!!!

WHAT!!! I felt like such an idiot!!! How could I have checked everywhere else but not under the bed???? And all the while we're flipping out and yelling for him, my little stinker is under the bed innocently enjoying our terror! LOL! All I could do was hug him and laugh! I don't ever want to feel that way again!! I find it so difficult to imagine the horror that parents of missing children face.

Don't go just yet! On a lighter note it gets better.....sort of! I go to the grocery store happy and smiling grateful to have my little stinker in tow! Let's just say that my smile had packed up and left town before we got anywhere near the checkout lane!! AHHHHH, I think it was pick on mommy day in Tyson land!!! What happened to my sweet little angel? Who is this little person pinching and screaming? Yikes! Nothing like the whole store staring at you with that "look" in their eyes. What a morning! Oh but its not finished yet!!!

Let's just say that my cashier was less than thrilled about her job today and that her enthusiasm was well, rather low on the Richter scale! Where am I going with this? Glad you asked! I wish I'd taken a picture (didn't think of it at the time)! So ok my "happy to be here" checkout lady had bagged my food according to her mood. How's that you ask....pretty crappy! So I remove my bags from the trunk, an experience that seems uneventful, but wait!!! Oh no we can't have that!!! Let me just ask you something: have you ever cleaned an entire jar of spaghetti and cheddar cheese sauces off your garage floor? Need I say more??? I really am glad God loves me, especially today!!!

Cake Face


Well here she is! Everyone say hello my niece Avril! She is the one who just had her first birthday! This is her enjoying the butterfly cake I made for her!! This is the only pic I have of her eating the cake. My sister emailed it to me. I had to laugh even before I opened the attachment because it was simply titled "cake face!" Which I've borrowed for my post as you can see! We love you cake face, you're great!

A Great Day






We had a great Easter. We were able to spend the day with Spencer's family. My in-laws made a great dinner and even included hot dogs for the little ones! Sometimes Tyson can be a picky eater so it really helps to have hot dogs sometimes!! We celebrated the true meaning of Easter of course. We don't do the Easter Bunny but we did let the kids hunt eggs with the other kids. We don't tell them that the eggs are from the Easter Bunny, I'm not sure they even get the connection of egss and Easter. They just enjoy the activity aspect. Its not that we have some vendetta against the Easter Bunny, we just want them to know what Easter is really about. We colored eggs this year (as you can see) which is something we haven't done in a few years... mostly because of time issues. We had been very busy in recent years around Easter and well most holidays. Its nice to have some family time now! I love enjoying my boys. Sometimes we just watch them playing and enjoying life and we're so happy and a little sad too because we know they won't stay little forever. Right now I just want to be thankful for every moment and give them wonderful memories. I am very blessed!

Being Busy





I have been busy! I made the smasher cake for my niece's first birthday, cookies and cupcakes. Just tonight I finished an Easter cake (it's chocolate on purpose so I won't eat any!! :) I'm going to post the pics, I wish I had the smash pics! I'll try to get some and post them for you!!

The weather has been absolutely gorgeous here in good ol' Indiana the past few days. So far we've been out of turbulent storm range. My grandparents did have to take cover in Tennessee. They are alright!! I'm kind of glad we didn't go to visit them for Spring Break like we'd planned. No offense but yikes! I came really close to being in a tornado once, there are not words to describe!!! Prayerfully the storms will ease off by the time we are able to visit. Well I'm beginning to ramble. It's time call it a night!

Saving Daylight, Feeling Strange

I'm really hoping we get used to daylight savings. We are so tired but its so bright outside that it just feels wrong to go to bed! I'm sure we'll adjust soon. The kids don't seem to mind one bit. They love any excuse or reason to stay up later. Speaking of time all of my blog post times are wrong so I don't really post at 6:00 am! One of these days this time thing will work itself out! LOL

Ok, it takes guts


Here are some of my cakes I've decided to post and share.




Hey! Where is the sun little darlin?

Well today is a total far cry from my last entry!!! It is frigid compared to the weather we had last week! And the wind is outrageous! Our patio furniture has relocated! What kind of Spring Break is this? I talked to my dad this morning (vacationing in Tenn.) and of course it was totally gorgeous where he is! Mist was pouring over the mountains, sunlight glistening.........hmmmmm..........! Well there are still lots of things to be thankful for. I get to spend the week with my favorite little guys, my bathroom curtains are nearly finished and I am completing lots of projects around the house. I am blessed no matter what it looks like outside!! (Although glistening mists and warm air would be a perk!)
