So this weekend we decided to have my youngest daughters first birthday party. After much contemplating I went to the store and got the fancy cake decorating kit. I went to the store the first time and left without it but could not resist and had to go back, so here it is! Fancy, huh?
Being the novice baker that I am I get the great idea to stick the cake in the freezer. Easier to decorate a frozen cake, right? I wrapped the cake in wax paper and get my husband to help me carry the ginormous cake to the garage. We gently place it in the freezer and wait for it to freeze! The next afternoon I return to get my cake only to find that it had frozen to the bottom of the freezer! Note to self for the future, do not put warm cake on bottom of the freezer. After a slight heart attack, I grabbed the spatula and chiseled it out. So after five cake mixes, eight cans of frosting and an ice pick, here is the starting product.
Thank god for the crafty
Neighbah for remembering how to curl ribbon, you wrap it and stick it in the oven, who would have thought??
To our fabulous finished cake!
Birthday girl was not even interesed! What baby does not dive into the cake?
Finally!!
Happy birthday girl with the cake!
Anybody need a cake made!!?? I have learned I need a lot more practice before the next party!
Welcome to another week of Alphabitty moments this week the letter "H". Thank you to MaMaBear over at For the Love of Family for Hosting! It took me a whole week to think up this one and I can not take credit for the idea! This one came from my husband who pretty much spends most of his time with these things! H is for Helicopter, or more specifically the HH-60H. How is that for a bunch of H's? My girls are also fascinated with them and loved seeing all the pictures put together. So now I am all caught up with the letters, hoping I can keep it together for next week! See you then!
We had some beautiful weather this weekend so we headed out to the beach with the Neighbah's. And it was a great opportunity for me to try out my new camera some more!
Hello all! Thank you to Mama Bear for hosting! I am a little late on the F, this should have been here last week but I figure better late than never! For the letter F this week I chose Furry Friends! These are all the pets in the house. We have Ada the German Shepard and Brown Cat the cat (yes he's a black cat, what can I say I was pregnant when we named him!) and Tank the Fox Terrier.
She loves the camera!
I would love to say that she was concentrating intently at the batter but I think that a butterfly may have flown by!
An entire softball game is really hard to keep your uniform in shape!
Pets entry for this week is anything goes! Our dog Tank and the cat, they really do love each other!

Welcome Wednesday! I was sure I would not have a post for what's the deal with that Wednesday but then I went to my oldest daughter's first softball practice last night. I should start out with she is 5 years old. I got to the parents meeting and was handed a shopping list! She needs white baseball pants for now and in a few weeks when it gets warm, white shorts. Don't forget the red socks and special cleats to match. Practice will be twice a week with games on both Saturday and Sunday. I did mention that she was 5, right??
I did not lose the remote to the brand new Wii. I would not be that irresponsible, I know where everything is at all times. Since I did not "misplace" the Wiimote I would have never left the house at 11 o'clock at night with the neighbah to track down a new one!
