Baby Animal Days and Easter Festivities.....

Luke and I took Logan up to Wellsville for Baby Animal Days. It was pretty fun although Logan wasn't really interested in the fluffy, cute animals. Baby chicks?? Nope. Fluffy bunnies?? No way. It wasn't until we got to the snakes and turtles that he showed any enthusiasm for our outing. He wasn't even afraid of the giant boa constrictor.... go figure. 

On Easter we did the Easter Bunny thing in the morning. That afternoon we went to Luke's parents house where Wyatt did another egg hunt for Logan and then we had an excellent BBQ. After that we went to my parents to play games. All in all, it was a great day. Thanks to everyone for the Easter goodies!!

My First Fondant Cake.....

Here's the product of my first experience with fondant. I'm pretty pleased... it was a lot easier than I thought it would be. Up next, a 2 tiered cake! Also, a picture of Logan being Spiderman... I love the look on his face. He's really perfecting his Spiderman moves... pretty soon he'll be crawling on the walls.

Cake #2....

Here is cake #2.... the final product of our 2nd cake class. We learned how to do the flowers in royal icing.. the kind that hardens.. and the bird in colorflow.. kind of like royal but it dries kind of poufy. We also learned how to do the basket weave. Don't mind the right side of my cake, I smooshed with by boob while trying to carry it out to the car and protect it from the rain!  On to fondant!!

Flight of the Conchords....

Every time I watch this I laugh... it's too funny. I love Flight of the Conchords these guys are hilarious! 

** this video has some mild swearing**

The Big 28.....

Apparently, I was mistaken... this is not an official movie poster. But still delicious! 

It was my birthday on Friday and Luke surprised me with a mini-getaway to SLC for a night. We stayed at this really cute hotel called Hotel Monaco. It's right downtown across from the Capitol Theatre. I absolutely love the wallpaper. I told Luke we should do our room like that but he wasn't too keen on the idea! They had these cool leopard print robes instead of the usual white. I wanted Luke to strike a sexy pose in it to post but he didn't like that idea either! 

For dinner we went to Flemings, a steak house in the Gateway. It was super-yummy and they gave me a little box of chocolate covered strawberries because it was my birthday! Score! I had a great birthday, thanks Luke!! 

This was the little entry to our room (below). It was so cute. I love the funky stool. There were a couple of cute chairs I could have stolen, too! 

A Few Things...

I've been a blog slacker lately but I haven't really had anything to blog about. I could take some pics of me watching TV and post it but something tells me that wouldn't really interest any of you!  

The other day I was watching TV in my room when Logan woke up from his nap. He walks in and says, "Mom, it smells like Dad in here."

Me: "Really? Well, Dad's still at work."

Logan takes a big whiff then, "It stinks!!"

I can take this one of two ways... either Logan thinks Luke stinks or because I was the only one in the room, I stink. Hmmm...

Below is a picture of Logan playing in the sink. I thought it was funny because he did this for at least 30 minutes... just pouring water from one cup to the other. The things that entertain kids sometimes!!

Alicia and I have been taking a cake decorating class at Michaels. We've just finished the first course so I figured I'd post the results. This is the cake we made on our last night. Let me just say that I'm not crafty, artsy, or creative in any way so I thought I did pretty good!!

Those roses are freakin hard to make!! They look semi-respectable in the picture but in person they looked a bit misshapen. 

The cake below is a random cake I made in the middle of the class to practice how to make the cake smooth and to practice writing. Yeah, I need more practice.

Nap Time.....

I went upstairs to wake Logan up from his nap and this is what I found. He's all wrapped up with his anaconda, which is actually supposed to be an eel that we got at the aquarium in SLC. He saw the Go Diego Go episode with Ana the Anaconda and decided it was an anaconda. Lately he's decided that bringing toys to bed is the only way he can fall asleep. What a funny kid.
