Someone is turning 3!!

I took a class this week on fondant. I was very excited to try it out for Eva's Birthday tomorrow. You can't really see in these pictures but the flowers have a sparkly effect done with a powder. Not bad for my first time working with fondant. I know fondant has a bad wrap for tasting bad, but I got this really good tasting fondant from the decorette shop were I took the class. I was very shocked when I tasted it that it actually tasted good. They also have choc. fondant that I guess tastes like toostie rolls!! I will have to try that later this summer.

Now I just have to figure out what kind of design to make for her actual birthday party in two weeks!! The pressure!! LOL

Our first harvest!!

Well this is our first "harvest" of veggies. I love eating the entire pea pod raw. I can eat them like chips! They are very tasty. Eva likes to shell them and then carry the peas around in her hand. She did that last night when we picked one to see if a few were ready. Too funny. I am not sure were the peas ended up!! hmmmmm....

Ok, so I am not sure what kind of smile this is!! LOL It doesn't even look like Eva. This must be her, get it over and take the picture smile!

Sick little girl!

Look at my poor little girl! She has been sick all day long. I went into her bedroom this morning to get her and she had thrown up all over! :( I feel so bad for her. She could not keep anything down all day. After the first 4 outfits she threw up on, plus two of mine, I just gave up and kept her in just a diaper! She slept on the couch on and off all day long. She is finally asleep tonight. I am hoping now she is done throwing up. And please pray that Eva does not come down with it.. Tomorrow is her birthday and that would just be sad!!

Brown Bag Concert Time

Last Thursday we went to our first brown bag concert. We got there really early so we were able to get a table and eat our lunch. Once it started the seats filled up.

The girls got to dance around where ever they wanted to. They loved that part.

Here is Eva dancing with some girl she introduced herself to. Her new thing now is to go up to any little kid and ask " what's your name" over and over till they answer her!! After the concert we were off to the farmers market down the street. All in all it was a good day. The girls slept till 5pm that night. I did not get them home and down for a nap till 2:30! They were just warn our from the sun and long fun day.

Playtime!

This is what my girls do to entertain themselves! Not only did they strip down naked while I was not looking (a whole 15 seconds) but they decided to use the water table as a wading pool! Had to take the picture!! Way to cute. Thank God that thing is sturdy!!

First black eye!

For the longest time that morning I kept thinking she had blue ink on her eye. Nope! She had a black eye. This was the beginning of it. It looked worse two days later! Not sure where she got it. I am thinking the new outside table on the deck.

Roll making

Eva and Kia helped me make rolls today. They really like playing with the dough. They could not make up their minds on a snake or a ball.



They decided on a ball!! And I helped Eva make the heart.. I enjoy making these rolls. The rosettes are mine!! :) ~ Not bad for the second time I have made these dinner rolls. The girls loved eating them. They are great tasting rolls.

Lollipops

I saw this on a show called Jon and Kate plus eight. I loved the idea and had everything in my pantry. Eva loved it.


















I just melted candy melts in my candy bottles and she went to town. She liked decorating them with all the candies I had out.


















These are the ones she made.

This one was my favorite. She was nice enough to share them with her sister!

Pigtails for the first time.

To my surprise this moring I decided to see if Kia's hair was long enough for pigtails.. And yes as you can see it is!! Wow what a surprise.

But what is not a surprise is that while I am typing this blog entry she has already pulled out one of the clips :( figures!!
And the office is smelling oh so odoriforis becuase I am guessing she needs to be changed!! LOL

Look at that grin!!

Cake, cake and more cake!

I made this cake for Jenny's brother and wifes baby shower last weekend. The bottom layer came out a little dry but all in all it was not a bad tasting cake. I get to take a class on Fondant this month! I cant wait. This cake would have looked a lot better covered with white fondant then the dots on top!! You just can't get frosting perfectly smooth. Then in July I am taking a crooked cake class! I have been wanting to learn that since I saw them on Ace of Cakes on the food network channel. I still have no idea what I am going to do for Eva's birthday cakes! I have to figure it out soon. But I have a little time, thank god, We decided not to have her b-day party till july 12th. That way we have more luck with having a hot day since this year we are doing a Luau theme!
