For Jolynn

Here is the monkey cake up close. I used two round cakes, cut one into a moon shape and then fit the other round cake into it. The ears are chocolate covered doughnuts, the eyes black jellybeans. I made regular white frosting, added a little cocoa powder for the light brown and then added more cocoa powder to make the dark. It was probably one of the easiest birthday cakes I have ever made. Hope this helps!

Monthly update

So this blog thing might become a monthly update, unless my life gets a little less busy, which I don't see that coming any time soon. Thanks to all those who still read this thing. I love reading yours.

Since I last wrote we have had three birthdays...

Jace turned 4...

I turned twenty-blahblahblah...

and Gage turned 2.

The kids are doing great. Katie is starting to read like a pro and loves her dance class. She is very excited to do her recital and shows us her dance moves all of the time. Jace is loving the warmer weather lately because he can spend all of his time outdoors. He uses the potty like a pro and we couldn't be happier. Gage is talking like crazy and yells more than he talks. He has such a goofy personality and we love it.

Scott is busy at the office and I keep things going at home...most of the time anyway. I've been on a cooking binge lately, but now it's gone. Back to spaghetti and grilled cheese.

My sister Erica also had her babies. They were born at 24 weeks. Their names are Conner, Emma, and Aulani. They all weighed less than a pound and a half each. Aulani passed away a week after she was born. I got to see and hold her. She was perfect. Emma and Conner are doing well. They have their ups and downs, but they are amazingly strong for being so small. Erica and Eric are great parents. They are doing well and I'm so proud of them.

Until next month...
