  •  I've got quite a few pics to share from the past month. I already shared the family reunion/4th pics I've got. This is the rest of July.

    Cakes:

    This is the Bride's cake. She wanted something really simple. I'm kind of bummed about how the beaded border came out, they would normally be PERFECT. But when I was working on them it was like 3:30 a.m. and it was all I cold do to get them done.

    This is the groom's cake. The groom's mother insisted that it be iced with german chocolate icing, not any sort of decorations but the strawberries. My Mom was a real lifesaver and made the cakes and the icing for this cake. She kept saying "this is sooo ugly." - but in the end I think it turned out great. Thanks again Momma!

    This is the complimentary cake for the bride and groom to share on their honeymoon.

    I made this cake for Mikka's birthday this past weekend. I really enjoyed working on it. My kids cooperated, I wasn't rushed, and it was fun. I'm glad to end my cake baking on such a good note. For the next year, only Caden & Mattie are getting cakes. School first, cake later.

    Entirely edible:

    These are two of many I took one afternoon that I should've been cleaning. However, I was feeling artsy.

    Mattie girl:

    How about some T-Ball? Like I said, Caden finally "got it" towards the end. These are from his second to last game.

    Look closely at this shot, then check out the next. I took them right after one another.

    He LOVED the feeling of getting the ball first. I loved how happy it made him.

    Mattie at her Aunt Katie's baby shower:

    Aunt Katie had a great shower. I wish I had thought to take pictures of the diaper cakes I made for it. And the letters I made for baby Clayton's room. Maybe, I'll remember to take a picture of them when I visit his nursery.

    So, that's all folks. I've got to keep cleaning house and get school stuff finalized this week. I hoping that I can participate in the photo scavenger hunt going on. It looks sooo fun!

    MAKE it a great week!

    Love to all!

  • I don't know how you do it MorninGlorie...When I have Nash I can't do anything other than play with him...even when he's napping I have to watch him sleep ... I Love all the pictures too - It made my morning bright - ILYM

  • I am so proud of Caden! He looks like such a natural, really! The cakes look delicious, maybe even the german chocolate one the most to me for some reason.
    I LOVE YOU! I am so glad we got to catch up and I am so thankful for your wisdom and there are no words to say how much I appreciate you listening to me!

  • WOW! What a treat to come here and view these incredibly beautiful photos! The cakes are amazing. How far do you live from me? Tell me you live in the Midwest, and in IL. Oh please.

    I absolutely LOVE Caden's picture and the pictures from his game. OMG! I was there and watched him it seemed. How are you related to Mattie and Caden?

    This left such a smile on my face. Thank you for stopping by my site, and allowing me to come here in return. Have a great day.

  • @ZSA_MD - Hi! Thank you for the kind comments! I live out in West Texas (the oilpatch). Mattie and Caden are my babies, my precious, precious babes. You may have seen their pics on my Mom's (shellisland), Aunt's (mlbncsga), or cousin's (s_mt) site. We've got a lot of family on here, but they are really the only few that post regularly. I'm trying to get back in the swing of it. - I'm about to start a 12 month, intensive LVN program this August. I'm not so sure how well I'll be able to keep up on here! - Look forward to "seeing" you again!

  • Nice photos sweetie, i love seeing these, miss ya'll
