Wedding Cake I did last June...

I invited Neil and Kristy over for dinner last night so we could discuss the wedding cake I will be starting on Thursday. It made me remember the last wedding cake I did and decided to put a picture of it on my blog.

The bishops wife asked me if I would be interested in doing a cake for her daughter-in-laws sister. I reluctantly said yes, not because I didn't want to help, but because I get so crazy when I make a cake for anyone. I worked mostly with the mother of the bride and she was very accommodating to my lack of skills and/or experience. They were trying to keep costs to a minimum so she decided she wanted just frosting instead of fondant...problem was...bride wanted ribbon around the cake. Frosting and ribbon don't mix well because the frosting moves as you try to attach the ribbon.

My poor family has to deal with my insane-ness (is that a word?) and my panic attacks and my nervousness but they are so great to give me love and encouragement along the way when they probably really want to smack me upside the head! Here is the finished product...I will post pics of Neil and Kristy's cake soon!

The Many Faces/Phases of JoJo

My JoJo has always had big, beautiful, luscious lips...and she could turn the pout on from the time she was a wee little baby!

Isabella Sky Moon Fry Mitchell has surgery...

Our little Izzy girl had some surgery on the 3rd of February. We had her spayed, her hernia fixed and all her shots given. Then the vet said she had a baby tooth that was bad enough it needed to be pulled to prevent more severe problems in the future. Poor pitiful little thing was drooling all over Alex and Jordan when she came home. She was held as much as she would let the girls hold her.

WTH?

It has been forever and a day since I have updated my blog and I am a little embarrassed about the whole thing! LOL I think it was right around the time I was introduced to Facebook that the blog thing went in the toilet. Well, I am back and I will be updating the blog from time to time...I PROMISE!

Samantha Mitchell - Student of the Year!

Samantha's teacher, Mrs. Kohler, pulled me aside at the graduation ceremony last Monday to let me know she was going to be named "student of the Year" this morning at the awards ceremony. We are so proud of all of our girls!

Our Ward had a Pinewood Derby Competition Families This Year.

When I heard that our ward was doing a Pinewood Derby this year I thought it would be fun to go and watch the races, I didn't think anything about us putting a car together. Mike had different plans because he was ready and willing to get it done. I agreed to getting a car for the competition if I could decorate it really pretty with nice girlie stuff...and of course he let me have my way. We had to add some weight to our car once we got there so there is some "other stuff" glued on it that wasn't there during the designing proces. We didn't win any of our races but we did win a certificate for Funniest Car...Mike was offended but I thought it was great. Mike wanted number 111 for our car because that's what all of our birthday's add up to, but our official number was 7.
