Mommy! Kaylee's Eating the Cake

"Mommy! Kaylee's eating the cake" are not the words I wanted to wake up to this morning. I have been selling cakes from home because it's just plain fun and I don't want to gain weight by eating my own cakes. I did two cakes for today. One German Chocolate ( which has become my best seller) and a pirate cake. It was not an easy task because Kaylee is once again teething. She has three teeth coming in. All I can say is I am thankful they are all coming in at once instead of one at a time, through a drawn out process. It has been hard though. Kaylee has hurt so much that She hasn't slept more than an hour solid for the past three days. This morning she slept for three but Jaedon got p only an hour after she went to sleep. So I started the cakes last night and only got as far as Jeremy's patience held. I left everything on my working station. The boys know not to touch it and Kaylee can't reach. I stayed up with Kaylee and slept on the couch so Jeremy could let me sleep in the morning. He made good on that promise and I went to sleep. The boys came running up the stairs two very short hours later. I was confused at first and asked ho in the world Kaylee could reach it when I got my answer. She climbed on a chair with a spoon. Too smart for her own good.

And happy about it. Her smug look made me laugh and erased any anger I felt when first waking up.

Ibaked another layer to the cake. Very neatly cut out all of Kaylee's section (don't want to share germs) and layered and recovered it. I think it still came out okay. You can't tell unless you notice the difference in color. It's slight but I can tell.

I boxed the cakes as soon as I was done.

Fun at the Park

I know you probably get tied of seeing pictures of the park but I love to show you what were up to and this is my life. We went to the Berryville park last night. We had so much fun the kids could nearly tear themselves away when it was time to leave. Threats of time out and no treats was all that could pry them away. The park has an enormous jungle/slide area, a sand box, different types of swings, and lots of other cool stuff.

Ashlee was there too.

Daddy and Grandpa

We were playing Mr Potatoe Head. The boys took it to heart. JJ is a Daddy and Jaedon is a Grandpa.

Summer Fun

Independence Day

This year 4th of July was a great time. First of all we got a new addition to the family. I am an Aunt. I am so happy for Justin and Amanda and little Ollie. I am also so very thankful that Mommy and Baby are doing well. It was also my birthday on the 2nd. I didn't make a cake because, well since i started doing it for money I don't fell the need to make beautiful cakes for myself. T had a great day though. I ran errands and nobody complained (meaning Jeremy) and I got a new book I've been wanting. Thank you Mom.

The 3rd is when we did our Independence Day celebrations. We had a good morning where Jeremy and I got little thing done, like oil in the car and a new light bulb in the garage. Than the boy went to the movies. Did I mention my brother came to stay with us. Then we came home and had hot dogs and everything to go with it. Than we made our way down to the river. We found a nice place with lots of shallow water. JJ was terrified for about an hour than finally got in and played for the longest time. Kaylee loves the water and was the life of the party. Jaedon was better than I expected. He wasn't scared and even began swimming with some help. Ed and Jeremy sat against each other and played pass the kid with the current of the river. Both of the boys were well protected with water wings and floating tubes.

Than we came home and I made banana splits for everyone but JJ who got a sundae (he's allergic to bananas). I put the banana than four kinds of ice cream. Than i drizzled chocolate and Carmel. topped with whipped cream and sprinkles. They were good.

I hope everyone enjoyed their fourth of July weekend and and remembered to thank a veteran for the freedom they protect.

My Girl

I love my little girl. She always wants to wear a dress and get all pretty. The only thing I cannot convince her about is doing her hair. I do it everyday and it lasts a whole twenty minutes. This morning she was fighting me about getting dressed. She wanted to wear her cherry dress and I was putting on an undershirt. How could I? So I got the shirt on and put on her dress and she went and got her favorite princess necklace. I love having a little girl!
