Parties and Messes!

So this past month has been quite busy. It all started off with an awards night for the city of Henderson with my dad receiving a surprise award! He had no idea he was recieving it and no idea that his kids were coming, SURPRISE. Next, we babysat our neices Ali and Corinne so Tana and Loren could go out for Tana's birthday. The girls were great, so well behaved....well until Ali and Ryan decided to pull out everything from Ryan's dresser and throw it on the floor. It was quite the mess but it was so cute to see them in their beanies and surprised faces when we came in. We had to take pictures of it. Last but not least my sister in law Tana and friend Leesha had a birthday on the same day so my friend Cairen threw a little birthday lunch for them. I was in charge of the birthday cake which was so fun to do. Cairen told me about a cake she saw online and when I saw it I had to make it. It's layered, not 1,2, 3 even 4 layers, it's 12 layers! It looked so cool when we cut it I had to post pictures of it. I probably won't be making another one anytime soon but I'm glad I tried it and it was a success until I almost hit a biker coming out of our complex. As soon as I saw him I slammed on my brakes and the cake flew off of the cake stand!!! Luckily there was minimal damage to the cake and none to the biker, nothing a little frosting couldn't fix.

Tana and Leesha, the birthday girls.
All 12 beautiful Layers!

My amateur decorating skills, but I thought I did a pretty good job.

I think your cake looks amazing. I have never really attempted to decorate a cake beautifully like that. I think I may have to try it. Is it super hard?

Good job on the cake, it looks great! Someone brought that cake into our dental office last Christmas and it was so tasty. I heard it takes a long long time to make! The girls really are cute!

The cake looked great and yummy. We really need to get together one of these days with our kids. Parker loves having friends over. I think he gets sick of me all day.

Melissa,
Yes-Stephanie and I are taking pictures for other people. We are just officially launching our business and we would love to take pictures of your darling girly. Just call me or email me and let me know when you want them?!!!?

BTW, you really should make and sell those wipes containers. EVERYONE comments on mine. I think you should start an ETSY shop or something--just a thought.

Your cake looks amazing! So, I'm just wondering-- will you email me or send me Jeremy's email? I have some questions about law school, and I figured he'd be a great person to ask. Thanks!

(sorry, I didn't mean to send that to you twice, I didn't think it worked the first time, but realized after you have to approve them first!) :)
