Fall Flowers For Maddie

On Sunday we went to visit Maddie and bring her new fall flowers after church. This picture was too cute not to post. I bet that grin was just for her...he knew where he was.

Happy Halloween!

We had a fun filled Halloween! We spent all day with friends eating, decorating Halloween cupcakes, carving pumpkins, playing and watching football, and a little trick or treating at the end of the night. Drake didn't go up to any doors but it was such a fun atmosphere with everyone and their children outside going from house to house. I hadn't been out doing that since I was in middle school, so it was alot of fun seeing the excitement on the children's faces. Our little tiger was pooped by the end of all the festivities but that didn't stop him from waking up bright and early at 6:30! That time change has been killing us!


Hope you all had a great Halloween!

Cake Decorating

Making fun cakes has always perked an interest of mine and I have alot of fun doing it, so when I heard JoAnns offers cake decorating classes I jumped at the chance and con'd Cassie and Melinda into doing it with me. It was a Wilton beginner class and I totally enjoyed myself. I am not good at it, it definitely takes practice, but when my children have birthdays I would love to be able to make fun birthday cakes. So this was a great start!

This was week 2 (week one you learn the basics) the star, zigzag, and writing. The colors don't really go but I was messing around with my new food coloring.


Week 3- flowers and shell border

Cassie and I after class-
we had a little girl's night at my house after, hence Cassie's cake! So cute.


Week 4- the rose and leaves


It was such a fun class to look forward to each week. I'm excited to try the fondant class now.
