My handsome little boy is too cute for his own good. I just had a parent teacher conference this last week and Carson is doing great in school...yay!! So his teacher pulled me aside and wanted me to know that Carson is the "heart throb" of his class. Awww... then she followed that sentence by saying "the girls are starting to FIGHT over him." I didn't quite know what to say. She said, "they are even turning in math papers with 'I love Carson H.' across them." I told her that I really don't know what to say and she said "he isn't doing anything wrong. He just wants to play motorcycles with Carson. E and Jake but the girls keep chasing him." I told her I had a similar situation happen in his preschool class. The two girls, referenced in the picture above, fought over Carson. So much so that one of the little girls got mad that Carson was sitting next to the other little girl and she picked something up and threw it at her...but the item hit Carson in the head instead and gave him a bruise!

 I'm not quite sure what his teacher wanted me to do if anything, but I'm glad to know that others think he is as sweet and handsome as I do. :-)

I love my little guy and I hope that I am getting through to him each day as we talk about him just being a little boy. I want him to just play motorcycles and football and whatever as long as he is just being a kid. I don't want him growing up too fast. These little girls are sure leaving quite an impression on his little mind!

One Year Older

I am thoroughly enjoying my new hobby of making cakes...so thanks to all who have had birthdays! I made this guitar cake for my little brother. He is an awesome guitarist and I wanted to make him a special cake to represent his talent. Hope you had a great Birthday Cameron! Love Ya!

My friend Sharlee got married this last weekend. I mentioned in passing that I wanted to take some cake decorating classes and she decided it would be a fine idea for me to make her a wedding cake...YIKES! I was pretty nervous and stressed but thought it would be an adventure so I agreed. Her wedding wasn't until July so I had plenty of time...hahaha..until she moved it up and told me I had a week and a half. WOW! OK! So, with help from my awesome brother, Andy, and my sister-in-law, Kristi, and her sister-in-law, Heather, this is what we came up with.

I think it turned out pretty good for my first cake. Her reception was decorated beautifully and the colors of the cake fit right in. Sharlee looked gorgeous and so happy and I just want to wish them the best! Congratulations Sharlee and Jeff

Happy Birthday!

WOW! Where does the time go? Makayla just turned 9! She is a pretty terrific little lady. She wanted a tangled, rupunzel tower for her birthday cake.. I went to work and this is what I came up with.

I promised Makayla a party full of fun and friends since I wasn't up to it last year after breaking my leg. Their great big bash is usually when they turn 8... sorry Makayla, I'm a year late.

So, we partied hard at Outer Limits with friends, games, food, and prizes! What a blast!

What a great time we had as family and friends. Thanks for all who came and celebrated this

special with day with us.

Happy Birthday Makayla!

Happy Birthday!

My sweet little boy turned 7! I told Carson to stay little forever and he doesn't want to. He is the sweetest little boy growing up way to fast. He is learning to be a gentleman opening my car doors, learning how to schmooz the ladies! He's only turning 7...not 16! He has plenty of girlfriends chasing him at school!

He is still interested in Camping and Motorcycles...his all time love. His other interests at this stage in his life are playing with his friends, playing the wii and xbox 360, riding  his bike, helping his mom make cookies, and taking his dogs for walks. I love my little guy and I hope he has a fun birthday with his friends and family.

Happy Birthday Carson

Valentine's Weekend Fun

The kids and I joined my brother and his family for a fun activity today. We made conversation hearts out of rice krispie treats and marshmellow fondant for Valentine's Day.

They turned out pretty good huh?!

Of course, with every frosting food project, there must always be a frosting war!

  We had a lot of fun and want to say thank you to my brother for inviting us over to make treats!

Makayla wanted to make a robot for her Valentine's Day box for school.

This is what she and I came up with tonight.

I think we did a pretty good job Makayla!
