Hoppy Easter!

Happy Easter! 

Our Cute little Family. 

 Giggles before church

We tried having a different color of egg for each kiddo, successful egg hunt!

Sadie turned one!  

She sure was excited to have cake! 

She enjoyed opening all her gifts and tearing the paper! 

and the tissue box was a fav

Over spring break we saw these cousins... 

and these cousins... 

and these cousins! 

Happy St. Patrick's Day 

I made this cute  CTR cake for my piano student who got baptized! 

Frozen Olaf Treat anyone? Ice cream body in a cup, cookie head and melted chocolate arms and hair.

How about a Frozen Elsa Cape? We used organza, fabric paint, a little velcro and a candle (to burn the edges so it doesn't fray)

I made this...

This is one of my favorite pair of Jammies…they remind me of my sister, Sara, who actually gifted them to another kiddo. These jammies have elephants, which my sis loves, and they are pink and orange, which she also loves, and the very 'modern' portrayal of them is just like how she would sketch them. I miss Sara, but I am excited for her to be home this summer! And Sadie is a thumb sucker!

 I made this brownie for valentines, 

 and I made this door sign, with the help of a more crafty neighbor,

 and I made this skirt to go dancing in with my handsome dancing partner,

 and I made this cute cake for a friend,

 and I made this cute cake for my cutie pie, and I made her 3 years ago. Whew, I've been making a lot of things lately!

This is Miss Alisa on her birthday, with My Little Pony 'Rainbow Dash,' her favorite!

 I'm ready for the baby to be born!! Her blankets are finally done!!

(I made them, too!)

No need to tell Sadie she was 11 months old before I finished them :)

Sadie, 11 months, and one of Alisa's tiny My little pony's

Merry Christmas!

 So my Ward Relief Society had a service auction.  I auctioned a kid's birthday cake (that I would make for the winner) and this little firetruck was what I made for them! It was my first Gluten Free Cake, all buttercream. Fun!

Other cake decorating adventures of late were these…Minecraft Cake. Thanks to those little paper fold-up box people I printed off the internet, the cake was a success!

Happy Birthday Keoni!!

 Ahem, funny story, made short: yeah, that's a big fat turkey and we killed it, and ate it! 

It was 40 pounds!!!

 We always do the 'Baby Jesus Play' on Christmas Eve. Wisemen, shepherds, angel, Mary, Joseph and Baby Jesus. This year we even added a Roman Soldier (who announced that all should be taxed) and Samuel the Lamanite who prophesied of the Savior's Birth.

Merry Christmas to All!

Sadie 8 months

 Christmas Morning

 Sadie got twin babies. One disadvantage to shopping early, sometimes one forgets what they already bought.

 Alisa got new dress ups, already in her new Sleeping Beauty dress.

 I took this pic today, so fun!!

Sadie 9 months!

 And look who decided to climb all the way up the stairs! She looks so proud of herself!

School Parade! Kyra and Melodee came to watch, too! 

Pirate and Transformer 

Two princesses, Maya's Preschool class had a little parade, too. 

Mmmmm, Thanksgiving Pies! Yes, I made all those. 

99 days of summer vacation

 Another successful piano recital!

 Check out that wild hair!

They all did such a good job!

Alisa got glasses!

 Just in case you've never seen a picture of JL's favorite birthday treat: Oreo punch bowl cake

 Swimming lessons, piano camp, tumbling, tae kwon doe, 2 camping trips, so fun!

 Sadie - 3 1/2 months

a budding photographer took this...guess who? 

 John Lee and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary!! I made a little cake that was similar to our wedding cake. And, this lovely cake plate was a wedding gift, and the first time I've ever used it.

And then we went to LEGOLAND!!

 We stopped by the Redlands LDS Temple. It was beautiful. This is the part of California where all the orange orchards are. In fact, the land that the Temple sits on was once and orange orchard.

More LegoLand!

And these people came to visit us while we were in California!

 Giant dinos we saw from the freeway.

And my children's new favorite play-time hero, LegoChima's Laval, keeper of the Chi.

 Look at all those cute Rorings!!

 First day of 3rd and 1st grade!

 These tiny people hang out with me all day; it's pretty much a party!

That's right, we pretty much make super-cute babies.
