Today

Well turns out I have more than a yucky cold. I went to the Dr. yesterday because I woke up feeling really really lowsy. I have a sinus infection and the start of bronchitis. So a few copays later and 3 prescriptions and hopefully things will get better. I already feel much better today than I did yesterday. So to enjoy my sick time I have been vegging with the kids watching tv and making gumpaste pearls. Hundreds of them. I need them for a wedding cake in July so thought I'd better get started. They are a lot simpler to make than I expected so I think I've made about 400 so far. But I need a lot of different sizes, and they cost a ton to order premade, so I have a few more days work to go. But they are turning out great. They are going to look really cool. I'm making a practice wedding cake this weekend so I can try some out and see how they look.
So since I haven't been up to anything more than rolling little balls of fondant we went to dinner tonight. We found a pizza buffet place that we had a coupon for. So for all 4 of us to eat dinner it was only 6$! It wasn't all that good, but for 6$ I can't complain. There was even kareoke(sp?). Then we stopped by the park so the kids could play for a min. Now Aaron is off picking up a vacuum from freecycle for a guy that he home teaches that lost his to his evil exwife in a divorce. So I'm glad we could find one for him. I hope it works okay for him.
KC's new word this week is Owwee. Anytime he hits you in the face or bits or falls down or really anytime he feels like making noise I guess, we hear owwee with a cute little concerned look on his face. It's so fun to see him learning new things and how he interprets them. So tomorrow I'll try to post some pics of the cake I am making. I think it will be cool, I hope. Till then have a good night!

hunting cake

Here's the June cake for Aaron's office. It's for his boss Vic. He's a hunter, and we out the Y on the mountain just for fun since he graduated from BYU. My reverse shell border is getting better. When I first tried to do it I could not figure it out. I don't know why, it's not that hard, but it seemed impossible.

Today I booked another wedding cake. That makes 2 for July. This one is part gluten free. I'm also charging a better price on it. The first one in July I am totaly losing money on. But oh well. I'm learning as I go how to do pricing. It's hard because every cake is so different. But I think I need to set some prices for basic party cakes, like sheet cakes, and keep them the same always. I feel bad, since I started doing the cakes for Aarons office I think it's been a different price every month. But it's hard to know how much it will really cost and how much time will go into it. I am getting faster though. My new program works well for all this, it's just time consuming to get all the recipies and such in there.

Well thats all today. I have a really yucky cold and so Aaron is going to go to the store and get me some more Nyquil. Thanks honey, I love you.

Oh ya, in case you aren't in Aarons fam, my sis-in-law Julie had her babies!! Charlee and Gaven. They are so cute!! Now they have 5 kids! 5 and under. wow, good luck Julie!. I can't imagine how hard that would be, but they are adorable and I'm excited for them. I'll try to put a pic on. Hopefully I get better fast so I can go and hold them.

It worked! See how cute they are!! I wish my little guy was that small, they get big way too fast. I can't believe in only a month KC will be 1!. Well, goodnight.

Just some pics

Saturday was the 2 yr anniversary of Kennys death so we went to the cemetary and took some flowers and a big balloon. Since it's right by my parents house we dropped by for a visit. Here are some pics.

Can't keep me down

KC has learned to climb out of his highchair. I was trying to get the dishes cleaned up after breakfast yesterday before getting KC down, so he decided to take it upon himself to get out. Needless to say it's time to get a strap for the chair so he can't do this again and fall down. He was so proud of himself though.

The dentist chair

Okay, if you look at this don't tell Kris about it. (my bro). It's a surprise for tomorrow. He's coming to town with his fam for 2 weeks to do an intership at the UofU. We are having a party/dinner tomorrow with our family and his in-laws and my sis-in-law asked me to make a cake for it. Its a guy in a dentist chair, with awful teeth. Everything but the top half of the chair back that is upright is cake. That part is styrofoam covered in fondant. The eyes are a little freaky, not sure what to do about that, I tried making eyelids but that didn't help much. It took most the day, but I really like how it turned out.
