Weekend Update

Man, we had a crazy week! Lots of working, little sleeping. But its back to normal now, thank goodness!

Saturday we went with the Meases to see High School 3! Christian didnt go with us. He has to go see the movie with his girlfriend and couldnt bear to see it twice. Ha! I have to admit, Eva and I seemed more excited than the kids! I love movies, I love musicals, I love family time! And I have missed my children this week, it was nice to be with them. We went to Movie Tavern so that we could eat lunch while we watched the movie. We have found this is the best solution for squirmy children (Trinity!).

So here is my movie review: Each and every one of us (and we made Abe and Michael and my Dad go to the movie!) LOVED it! OK, hold on, all of the girls LOVED it. The boys agreed it was good and they were surprised at how much they liked it but I dont know if I should go as far as to say that they loved it. The choreography was awesome, WAY better than the first two. It was very cute.

Dont let Dylan fool you, he is not asleep. Just trying to maintain his cool and pretend to not be interested. Here are our awesome kiddos: Kylee, Trinity, Kaylee, Tyce, Dylan, Taylor

And here we are with my Dad ...because every grandparent should have to see at least one High School Musical!
Later that day, it was party time again! This time we celebrated Timothy and Naomi's birthdays. We moved the party up a week so that my Dad would be able to be here for it. So that left me less time to do their cakes and was at the end of the busiest week of the year for me. With that being said, I think they came out ok. And it was definitely worth it to have my Dad here with us! Timothy wanted Camo but his favorite color right now is Orange, so here is what I came up with...my attempt at camo

And then, of course, Naomi is a little princess! She had to have pink. Simple looking, but this was my first fondant bow and I think it came out ok. I just need a little more time to practice....
Sugar shock!! She loved the cake!
My favorite part of making cakes for kids is their faces when they see it for the first time. If their little eyes light up, I smile and know that I accomplished what I set out to do! Next cake I am working on is one for Kylee for her 13 birthday....we have come up with something adorable so lets hope I can make it happen! That will be in a few weeks.
