Hungry yet?!
Buster-Brown-eyes was the first to get a snitch of the meringue for the frosting, (swiss meringue butter cream) He was a little unsure at first but didn't take him long to clean off the beater!

Garden Party Bridal Shower
Last weekend the kids & I were in Kearney for Jeanne's bridal shower.
Raimie & Aunt Gay hosted a beautiful ladies afternoon tea bridal shower on the lawn. It was 100 degrees out but we didn't melt (some of the food did though!). We enjoyed a feast of tasty little treats and iced tea, punch and water all with lots of ice! Raimie provided parasols and fans for the guest to use, and we did!
Aunt Lu and Cyndie Gray both helped with the food and "props", and everything was SO lovely! Almost everyone had fun with the "hat request" (notice I didn't wear one - no time for hat shopping!) and it was so fun seeing all the unique hats!

Be careful what you say...
You will hear it from your children!
I laughed so hard today when I found this video on my computer! Kyrie got a hold of Jeanne's camera last week, and took several self-portraits. I didn't realize in the mean time, she also took this video! I'm beginning to wonder if she loaded it on to my computer too, because it was in a very strange folder - not where I unload my photos!
Thankfully, it was nothing bad that I say that she was repeating, but when I take the kids pictures I usually tell them to say "cheese", and if that doesn't get any smiles, telling them to say "Macaroni and Cheese" usually does!

Amber teething necklace
I know many of you have seen Trey in his fancy little amber necklace and wondered what on earth has gotten into his momma!
It all started when he started teething big time. In March, he started cutting 4 teeth at once. 6 weeks later, he only had 2 of those teeth, and was trying to cut 4 molars along with the 2 front teeth. He was constantly chewing on his fists and was SO grouchy and whiny!
6 weeks later, it was convention time and he STILL didn't have any more teeth. I was resorting to tylenol and motrin nearly every day, and that's certainly not good for a baby! I was imagining my convention going down the drain as I dealt with this little bear, so in desperation I called my Sister Dalayna, whom I remembered talking about this cool teething necklace she had gotten for her daughter - the same age as Trey, and how impressed she was with it. She sent it to me and we got it in the middle of convention. It was seriously a lifesaver! (at least as far as my mental health in concerned!)
A week or so after convention, I decided to take it off of him because I was wondering if his good mood really had anything to do with the amber necklace, or that he had finally cut 2 of the molars. I left it off for 2 days and he was right back to his old grouchy self!
Now, what can I say? I'm a believer! Find more info about Amber Teething Necklaces below the picture.

Natural amber necklace facts:
· A natural analgesic, amber will help calm a baby without resorting to drugs.
· Amber is a fossilized resin, not a stone. It is therefore warm to the touch, as well as very comfortable and light to wear.
· Wearing Baltic amber necklaces on the skin can have a soothing and calming effect on teething babies and toddlers.
· When amber is worn on the skin, the skin's warmth releases miniscule amounts of healing oils from the amber which are then absorbed via the skin into the bloodstream.
· Amber’s anti-inflammatory and therapeutic properties are also recognized by allopathic medicine. In Austria , Switzerland and Germany
