Happy Birthday week to Tara!

So last night we had a surprise birthday dinner for Tara at her grandparents' house. Her grandmother made a great supper and I ate way too much. Here are the pictures of the cake that we made for Tara. This was my first time to do scroll work. It is a work in progress but as not as difficult as I thought it would be. Ill have to keep practicing. Im going to work on my basket weave technique today so that I can use it on a cake tomorrow that was ordered for a retirement party. Ill post some pictures later this week of that cake. Going to Market Street Festival this weekend. Should be alot of fun. Ready for the weekend already and its only Wednesday.

My hubby

So this summer we will be running the roads going to several weddings. Stephen and I are both in weddings this summer. Anyway, we needed to get Stephen some more dress clothes for the rehearsals and weddings. We picked some up the other night (P.S JcPenny is having a really good sale). Last night I asked Stephen to go try on his new clothes to make sure they fit. He came back in the den dressed like this. HaHa! If you know my husband at all, you would know that this did not suprise me at all!!! He then ran and got the camera and said "Take my picture so I can put it on facebook". He has only been on facebook for a few days and is already addicted. Just wanted to share the craziness that I live with. Would not change it for anything :)

Sick

So this is day 3 being home from work. AHH! Im so bored. I have not had an ear infection this bad since I was a preschooler. And this time my mom was not there to hold my hand while they gave me a shot :( They put me on enough antibiotics to cure a horse's ear infection. My fever finally broke this morning so maybe I can go back to work tomorrow. There is only so much facebook and blogging a girl can take before she is just bored out of her mind.

Take a look

Stephen got glasses today! After much encouragement from his wonderful wife. It has been obvious for a few months that he needed to get his vision checked but Stephen HATES when people touch his eyes. He wont even let me put eye drops in his eyes without freaking out. We went Friday afternoon for his appointment and they ordered his glasses. They called today to say they were ready, just in time for his test he has to take tomorrow for school. I think they make him look even more ready for school. He goes to register for classes tomorrow. Getting ready to get back in the school schedule. Please pray for him as he takes this next step in his life.

Golf Ball Cake

Made this cake this weekend for Jim's birthday. It was the first one I have made completely in my kitchen. I usually use my mom-in-laws kitchen. I have about 2 feet of kitchen counter space so it was frustrating at times. Especially when I also had the crockpot plugged in taking up some of my valuable space. But, anyway, I got it finished. I was using a new pan that allowed me to have two different flavored cakes inside. It was half chocolate and have vanilla. Turned out better than I had thought it would. I was just glad he could tell it was a golf ball. Haha! Happy Birthday, Jim!

Finally

It is finished! Finally! Not the best roofing job we have ever seen but just really glad it is over since they were up there before 7 this morning. Yuck! its Saturday and I had been excited to sleep past 7. Oh well, there is always next weekend. So happy not to hear men running around on our roof anymore! Woohoo! Just finished another cake. Ill post pictures soon. Happy Easter!

Day 12...
