Cake Boss in my Kitchen! Olivia and her friend made a three layer cake with fondant frosting, all by themselves!!!! It had palm trees and starfish and sand (Brown sugar) and it was amazing! they were so proud of themselves, and the sense of accomplishment that they had was unreal! They kept saying, "can you believe that we made that?":) They were pretty proud of all their hard work.....approximately 5 hours of baking! But they had fun!

The process.....

Olivia stole my camera and took this picture....Baby Drooooooollll, Gross!

First Day of School! Random pictures but I thought they were fun!

Family Pics by Mandy Williams!!!

So it has been 4 years or so since we have had family pics taken! (By someone other than myself) So when I met Mandy Williams at story hour this summer it started the wheels turning in my mind.....and we finally had family pics taken (wether the kids wanted to or not!) Mandy did an amazing job, I would highly recommend her! But you be the judge!
