Cake Company

I am looking for suggestions for a cake company I am starting up.  I really like frosted but it is already taken.  Any suggestions?

Gingerbread houses

So these aren't really gingerbread houses, but graham crackers are so much more convenient.  This first one is Hailey's house.  She wanted a big one.

Here are the girls eating the candy rather than using it for decoration.

This one is Emma's house.  The roof collapsed and so they made it into a dog house for Digby.  Sad I know, especially since we don't have Digby anymore! :(

Then the piece de resistance . . . My Dad's.  We were lucky to have him visit for a couple of days.  He had some work near us so he stayed at our house.  Here he is admiring his work.

This is his masterpiece.  His inspiration was the Frank Lloyd Wright House in Wisconsin.  He said that he didn't want his design to conform to "The Man" and so he followed nature and came up with this.  

For all you moms out there!

This post is dedicated to all you moms out there.  Does anyone else hate it when there husbands come home and ask what you did during the day?  For some reason it really irritates me.  I am usually so incredibly brain fried that I can't remember what it is that I did.  Plus whenever I DO remember what it is that I did it just doesn't seem like I have done that much.   So when I found this song on a friends blog I just had to share with the rest of my fellow moms out there.  Share it with your husbands if you feel like me.  For the mom that can't quite remember what she has done during the day, this song reminds you! http://deseretbook.com/video/view/61

Idols In Concert!

Last night I got to go to the Idols In Concert!  It was awesome!  They performed a ton of Christmas music and each of them did one of their own songs.  My favorite was Diana Degarmo.  She just came out with a country album.  Now I am not normally a huge country fan but she did a song called Thanks about the men and women currently serving in the military and it is absolutely amazing.  The only place you can buy her new album is at this concert series so you better believe I picked one up.  And had it signed!!!!  Plus, I got to have my picture taken with each and every one of them!  It doesn't get much better than that!  My friend and I felt like we were in high school again, especially when David and Chikezie came up right next to our faces and put their arms around us to take a picture.  We were smiling from ear to ear!  It was so much fun!!!

Christmas Outfits

Every year we buy the kids Christmas outfits.  I was so excited to find a little suit for Carson!  But he didn't really want to have his picture taken to these were the best I could do.  

Home School Ice Skating Party

Today we got to go ice skating.  This was the kids first time ice skating and they loved it.  It took Emma a while to warm up to the idea, but eventually trusted me enough to really enjoy herself.  But let me tell you, it was not easy trying to hold up three kids who are learning to skate.  Add to that, myself being on skates, which I am not that good at.  But we had a lot of fun! Then we went to pizza hut and used our free pizza coupons for the Book It program.  It amazes me that this program is still around.  They had this when I was a kid.  You read a certain amount each month and then you get a free pizza!  Pretty awesome if you ask me.  Hailey kept saying over and over again, "Mom, this was the best day!  We got to go ice skating and eat pizza!"  Oh, bringing joy to the hearts of children, one heart at a time ;)!
