400 Servings!

Here's what 400 servings of cake looks like! I just finished these sheet cakes for Jim's work - they are doing a customer appreciation supper tonight.

Carrot cake with cream cheese icing, Chocolate / Yellow cake with Chocolate icing and the rest are Chocolate / White with White Almond icing. 6 cakes total.

We're Alive!

Just in case you have been wondering, we ARE still alive! I have a 400 serving cake order to finish by tomorrow noon, so this will be short and sweet. More detailed update next week!

Yesterday, there was an ad on our local radio stations "buy, sell and trade" morning show, for a Little Tykes 8-in-1 play set, a few years old but in great condition, and a price that was incredible! I called the party selling it, and snatched it right up. Jim took the kids and drove to Ogallala to pick it up yesterday afternoon, and he put it together after work today. The kids are just delighted with it, as am I - it keeps them entertained for hours!!!

Unfortunately, it looks like today was the last nice day for awhile. Oh well, we'll have all summer!

Annie - Its Hard Knock Life

If you can't get your children to scrub the floor, maybe they need some inspiration?!
This is Kyrie's...she scrubs the bathtub too!!!

Kids these days....

Have you ever stood on your head to make a kid happy?
I don't think I have, but I've done some pretty silly things to get a giggle!
I had Ryan watch the kids for a little while today while I ran some errands, and when I came home this is what I saw! Uncle Ryan and Kyrie barefoot on the kitchen floor, scrubbing to "it's the hard knock life" and Kyrie telling Uncle Ryan that it had to "shine like the top of the chrystler building"! (yes, she's obsessed with Annie!)
Amazing what a Kid can make you do!!! (and now I have a nice shiny clean kitchen floor!)

Happy Birthday Jeanne!!!

Happy 30th (!!!) birthday today to my oldest sister Jeanne!

New Skirt!

Kyrie is so delighted to have a long "big girl" skirt! After getting a long skirt "hand me down" from Aunt Kaela, that is still too big, Kyrie kept asking me for a long skirt to wear. Finally I decided to take a pair of her jeans that she didn't like to wear and make a skirt for her. I made one for Relyssa severial years ago, and decided after that project I wouldn't be attempting any more, but I have to say, toddler size is MUCH easier than Adult size!

Happy Birthday Jessi Bear!

Jessi Learah is ONE today!!!

Happy first birthday to my sweetest (and only!) Niece!

In 3 weeks, it will be Trey's turn!
