My Latest Hobby and a few other things...

Early this month, I joined a few friends and enrolled in a Cake Decorating Class at Michaels. It has been so much fun. I would say I have dabbled in Cake Decorating my whole life but I have never had any formal instruction so it has been really nice and I am learning a lot. I have only had three classes so far but I plan to continue the classes for the next couple months and I will post all my cakes so you can all watch my progress- exciting huh?

Here is my new "toolbox" full of fun stuff!

This was my second cake. I had my mom in town last week and she joined me for cake class. We started learning the rose but didnt finish so when we got home we learned from the book and voila our very first roses- pretty cool!

We celebrated Uncle Scott's 24th Birthday on Saturday with this cake. I cant take credit for it though because unfortunately I was smitten with a terrible cold and not feeling like I should handle food so I watched as my mom created this one. Aren't those clowns so cute.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SCOTT- WE LOVE YOU!

And speaking of hobbies, lately I have been getting a bit of flack for slacking in the scrapbooking department. I think to scrapbook and do a a blog is just overkill so I created a book of my first year of blogging and have sort of phased out scrapbooking. I composed it and ordered it from Picaboo. I am semi happy with how it turned out- not thrilled with the quality but pleased with the accomplishment- a year of journaling right? When I endeavor to put 2007 together I might do something else but at least it's done. I also just completed Brielle's mini scrapbook of pictures from the weekend she was blessed- another big accomplishment for me.
And now for my next big project- clean out my house for the big move---ugh!

As for any other updates... we had a fabulous week with my mom visiting and we enjoyed Dad's drop in for the weekend. Most of us are sick at the moment- Brielle has it the worst and it is so sad when little babies are sick because--what can you do? This week we are meeting with realtors to get our house on the market and doing some online house shopping in Omaha with plans for a trip out there in the not-so-distant future.

And lastly I thought I would post this cute pic of the kids with their daddy. We have new goals to read to our children more (esspecially Brayden) - maybe posting this picture will help us.
