I am really trying to work hard on my sewing. I love making these dolls!! I'm not as good as I could be if I were a little more patient and tried to slow down. Once I start, I don't take my time because I'm so anxious to finish. I'm like that in a lot of ways. Oh well. I am going to try and tackle making a purse in the next few weeks...if I can find the time. If I can get that down, I think I'll start buying patterns and making Ivy dresses.

Some proud & not-so-proud moments

Mikey made Honor Roll again! He has really stepped it up this year. He tries really hard and feels quite accomplished. He is doing really well in Cub Scouts and has passed quite a few achievements. I am so proud of him!!


Speaking of school, I picked up Dylan's kindergarten registration packet the other day. Really?! Is it that time already? He looks WAY too small. I don't think I'm ready for this. He has been quite the scriptorian lately. He carries his scriptures around everywhere, and for some odd reason, always has to wear this sweatband while reading. This is why I love him so much.


I have been really busy with cakes lately. I made 250 cupcakes for the Scout's Blue and Gold banquet. I am so thankful to Rory for making the cupcake stand. Otherwise, I don't know where we would have put them all.


And the latest cake has been probably my favorite. My nephew, Steven, had his 3rd birthday party a few weeks back. He loves Toy Story. So, I made him a Toy Story cake. So fun!! I've got 2 cakes in the next two weeks. I'm super excited to make both! I enjoy making them so much.....just hate the mess.


Oh, and the not-so-proud moment....I backed into Rory's car. Damage to the car: minimal. Damage to my awesome driving skills ego: bad, very bad.
