Eight Cow Woman Cake

This is the cake Lindsay made for 21st Ward's Relief Society Birthday Party. The theme was eight cow woman...and this is her lovely cake. I got to make the buttercream frosting that goes under the fondant, and she did the fondant. I also got to do the cute little flower topper. I think it seemed much larger in real life than this picture makes it appear, it served 70 and it tasted great. The top three layer cake was Lime, and the bottom 12 inch cake was chocolate with raspberry filling. Yummy!

Wedding Cake

Lindsay (my dd) made this wedding cake for a demonstration cake. It is currently residing in my living room window. Sort of different Living Room decor, but I've enjoyed it for Valentines Day. I did all the flowers on it, and she did the frosting. It will last forever, (it's not real cake or real flowers, but hard to tell that, even up close) so if you or someone you know has pink as a wedding color, or needs a wedding cake at the spur of the moment, let us know. I am currently trying to figure out how to store it, so it will stay dust free and lovely and doesn't fade in my window. Got any ideas for a tall thin not too big storage container? And it won't fit in a food storage bucket (too tall) and a plastic garbage can is too big. Wedding Cakes are so happy, this one is is so spring, and very cheery!

Yummy Supper

 

Sometimes having a daughter in culinary school, and watching her baby pays off. The other day...this is what she brought us and made for dinner. Baked Orange Acorn Squash, Zuchinni Pasta, Fresh Wild Salmon baked with lemon butter and a lovely rice pilaf. Yum, Thanks Lindsay!

I had fun making this...my friend Glenda posted her lookalike on facebook, and I told her I didn't have one. But apparently I'm mistaken...so here it is, entertaining anyway. :)

Take Your Own Picture!

 
OK so I'm holding the camera, pointing it right at the toddler. He's not standing still for anything, but I'm trying to keep him in range. So he suprises me, lunges forward, and pushed down on my hand, esentially taking his own picture. Of course my hand was in the way a bit...but still, pretty funny. Gotta love this kid. :)

2009 Ends...

 
Winter's Beauty! This is the same shot I took of the Golden tree a couple months ago from the front walk of the house. The seasons are dramatic here. The sun is shining today after two days of snow. It is beautiful fluffy snow, the snowflakes sparkling in the sun. I can hardly believe a new year is ready to start.

Christmas Fun

 
 
 
 
My daughter decided to use up the Gingerbread houses I purchase after Christmas every year...her brother wanted to decorate one for a date, but needed a little help in the doing of it. She got her oldest brother to bring a date, and she got her husband involved, and soon all three couples were merrily spreading icing and glueing the houses together. I got the job of babysitter and was summarily ordered out of the house with my own dh and grandbaby. We went to Chuckarama and had a delicious time feeding the baby macaroni and cheese, madarin oranges, and green beans. But when we came back we found these cute houses. Oh, and the ornaments on the chandelier idea came from Better Homes and Gardens web site, it sparkles and shines light all over the place...fun!

Georgie in the Living Room

 
 
 

George and I were playing hide and go seek in the Living Room yesterday. Mostly that meant I hid behind the wall or the Christmas tree and he laughed his head off. Lindsay started it all, and then she took pictures. I just thought he matched the room in his cute Sunday Christmas clothes, and he got to enjoy the Christmas tree from the safety of the play yard. I just think he's fabulous!
