Bama Football 2009

Went to our first game of the season yesterday. Bama played Arkansas. We had made plans to tailgate and spend the day on campus despite the constant rain we have had for the last two weeks. We got there really early and got to visit and grill out with the Blakes. We also got to see the Higginbothams, too! It was great to see them. The rain held off all morning but then the bottom fell out about the time we started packing up to head to the stadium. We will had a blast despite the rain and all the mud. And of course Alabama won so that made for a great day too! Ready for the next game!

Had to get a picture in front of the stadium since we did this last year. Its now a tradition:

We got soaked!!!! But still had fun:

Stephen did not have a rain coat so he had to buy a poncho. I think the athletic association made a killing on these yesterday:

Waiting for the game to start. It was still raining but thank goodness we were covered once we got in our seats! Thanks for the seats, Rectors!

True fans tailgate all day no matter the weather:

Canton

We went to Canton this weekend to spend time with my family. Our friends have a cabin there that they let us use. We just hung out, played games, played the Wii and visited. It was a nice time and so good to see some Pourciaus. We also celebrated Dad's birthday while we were there. He is all into cycling right now so I had him a cake to go with that hobby.

Bowling on the Wii:

Lucy's Birthday

Lucy turned 4 last week. She wanted an owl party. This cake was based on her invitation that was designed by Jenny Holloway. Her mom made the cutest cookies to match the cake. To see her mom's designs click on the cookie mama button on the side of my blog. Her cookies are so cute and taste great!

Cakes

Thanks for all of your interest and support of my cakes but I will no longer be taking any orders. I will honor those orders that have already been placed. Thank you for your support but please understand that this is necessary so that I can honor other commitments that I have made at this time.
Thanks,
Casey

help!!

So I found a few sites tonight that help you dress up your blog. Does anyone know the easiest way to make a cute header? Do you have to use photoshop? I would love to learn. Any advice out there, bloggers?

Its finally football season again!!!!!!!!

So glad football has finally started again. We have had a countdown going at our house. It took two years but I have finally gotten Stephen excited about college football too so Im not watching the game by myself. We have had ESPN on all day watching any game we could find. Ha Ha! The Blakes came over tonight to watch the Bama game with us (and hopefully the LSU game too). I made these cupcakes for them to celebrate the opening game. I saw these elephants on a cake on cakecentral.com months ago and have wanted to make them but had to save them for a special event. They all loved them and are almost all gone and its still the first quarter. If we win Ill have to make them for every game in case they bring us luck. Now I just need to figure out how to make buttercream tigers so I can make some LSU ones to match. Ill have to do some research and figure it out. Dont worry Pourciaus, I did not even eat one :)

Batman Cake

Happy Birthday, Brennan! He turned 3 this week. I hope he had a great batman birthday party this afternoon!
