Princess castle!

Mandy asked me to decorate a cake for Avery's 3rd birthday last week. It was so fun. Took a lot of time, but I love doing girly things! I think it turned out pretty good. Happy Birthday Avery.


Rex says Avery is his girlfriend and he is going to marry her some day. This kid has started early and knows what he wants!
Hopefully this baby cooking right now is a girl. Yes, I said it, I am pregnant. Happy, but sick, but happy.

Mark's birthday, a little late...

We had a party for Mark's birthday a couple weeks ago. Sadly, I am just getting to posting about it! I'll explain in the next post why that is, but needless to say I have no motivation right now.
Since Mark and my niece Michelle's birthday are in the same week we had a joint dinner and party at our house one Sunday. I wanted to make Mark a fish cake since he loves fishing so much, but didn't think Michelle would love that, so I made red velvet cupcakes for her. They all turned out pretty cute. Sadly, while I was chopping the lettuce for dinner, I also chopped off the tip of my finger!! It sucked. It looked way worse than it was though and I didn't want to miss dinner or have an ER bill so I just dealt with it! It's healed really nicely and I don't think I will be to permanently deformed.
Mark got the new Android phone for his birthday. He was stoked. Sadly, he knew exactly what he was getting because Rex has an impossible time keeping a secret.
Happy birthday babe, we love you!! Even if you are becoming an old man... ;)

Kim did a great job again. We decided to go up by the river in Eagle and the location did not disappoint. It was beautiful. What did disappoint was that Rex would not do anything but a creepy forced smile!! I swear that child. He is Jekyll and Hyde, sweet as pie one minute and ornery as can be another minute. Oh well, they still turned out pretty well. Now I just need to figure out which one to use for the Christmas card...
