Little Lola

I have a picture and a video for you this time! Lola was playing on the bed with Jeff and kept putting Sophy's Jean shorts on her head as a hat. It was super funny. We'd take them off and she'd find them and put them back on. We finally traded her for a denim hat.
The other night Sophy crawled in Jeff's lap and asked to hear music. Jeff switched to Utube and played some of his favorites. Lola crawled into he room and kept trying to dance. She would stand up and start then fall. It was cute and funny.

Cake #3

I learned something very important about roses this week. I learned that I HATE making roses! I also learned that I'm no good at judging icing consistency. I did get my ten roses made and I think that my cake turned out pretty good. I got a fancy piece of paper saying I'm finished with course #1! Yeah! One down 3 to go. I start course number 2 on Sunday. I am not as excited about this one, but that's ok because at least I don't have to make a cake every week this time. I am very excited to take course number three! I do get to make a friend's birthday cake this week and I'm thinking about making a birthday cake for all the many July birthday's up at church next week, so I might end up making a cake a week anyway.

Cake #2

I have now finished my 3rd cake decorating class. We leasrned roses and lots of little flowers. I also learned how to make a clown. I wasn't sure what to write on my cake so "eat me" it was. Hopefully all who see it will follow directions well. It is a strawberry cake with a vanilla pudding center! I kinda want to cut into it myself! I liked the flowers though. That was fun. Roses are Hard! I have to make 10 before next class and I have some work to do to get 10 good ones that's for sure!

Rose Garden Adventure!

Today I took a tiny break from working. Can you believe I've had 4 photo Shoots in the last week? Trish called to see if we wanted to go do something since we hadn't hung out in a long time. So I suggested we go to the rose garden since I have an upcoming Photo Shoot there and wanted to scope it out. I saw where all the construction was and were things are still blooming. Since we were taking the girls we packed a picnic lunch and we all sat in a little stone gazebo and ate. Afterwards we played with bubbles and walked around the garden taking pictures. I played with my new UV Filter and it seems to work well. I was really sad because at one point I was carrying Lola and we came to a bridge without good railings so I needed to hold Sophy's hand. I shifted my camera to the hand that was holding Lola and she thought it was great fun to poke my new filter. All the pictures after that have a smug in them that I didn't notice till we were on the way home! Oh well. Good thing it was just a family fun photo shoot!

Happy Father's Day!

Today Jeff got to choose where he wanted to go eat and he got to go to the park afterwards with the girls. It was a perfect day for pictures! I even let him play with my camera a little! Happy Father's day honey!

A new member of our family....

No I am NOT having another baby, but look at this beautiful piece of machinery that my loving husband surprised me with this weekend. I had a big photo shoot today (a friend from FE was getting married and talked me into doing the photos) and I was sad because my camera had such low resolution and we couldn't get my new one yet. Then all of a sudden the UPS guy was asking for a signature and there was my camera! Jeff can be so sweet!
Now I need to dress up the girls so I can go play with my new toy before the next shoot....

Cake #1.

I've always wanted to take a cake decorating class. I've loved watching Ace of cakes and looking at pictures. My wedding cake was only #2 then my dress in my minds eye. So I finally found out that I could take an inexpensive class at Micheal's. I got the class for my mom in Arkansas for Mother's Day and I signed myself up here. I've been two times now and I love it. Here is a picture of the first cake I made for class. Next week is roses and flowers...ohhhh, fun!

Are you hungry?

Today after her breakfast, a healthy yougart and bowl of cereal, Sophy stated that she was still hungry and wanted cake. I think it had a lot to do with her father standing in the kitchen eating cake for breakfast. The cake is lemon and had no frosting (a mess up cake from attempting to make a smooth iced cake for class) so I thought "why not". Jeff cut her a small piece and put it on a plate. Unfortunately he chose a segmented plate that we use for dinner time. Luckily it only had two sections. She took a look at the plate and demanded that something be put in the smaller section. We asked her what and began looking for some sort of fruit that would fit int he small space. She piped up that she wanted "Ketchup". So I decided I'd put some on to avoid the tantrum and try not to look as she ate her cake. Sure enough she sat and dipped her lemon cake into her ketchup and cleaned her plate! Yuck! Jeff stood by giving me the play by play since I refused to look at her. By the end I decided this needed to be kept for prosperity so here is a picture of Sophy eating Lemon cake and ketchup.
