Introducing...

I know it's been almost a week since I got my Ultra Sound but I just got these scaned. Hope you enjoy!

Zombie Land

Since they had to stay home for Halloween Alex and his friends wanted

to scare the kids and dress up as Zombies.

As kids came up they would act like Zombies.

I think Corben was the best at it.

At one point a teenage girl came up and was

freaked out by them and Corben chased her

down the street! It was great!

Zombie Feeding time!

Jake & Griffin

The Zombies minus Jake

My Sweet Corben!

Trunk Or Treat

This year with Halloween falling an a Sunday we decided not to let the boy's trick or treat.

But our Ward had a Trunk or Treat on Saturday so they got to get plenty of candy.

ODST Jedrek

Alex and his friend Griffin dressed up as the Men in Black
but I failed to get a photo of them.


Here is our trunk. A feast of brains and slimy animals!

I won a prize for my trunk!

After our Jack O Lanterns died I found a blog post

on these cute Jar Jack O Lanterns. Perfect for the Az weather!

Jack O Lanterns

These were our Jack O Lantern's this year.

Sadly they only lasted 6 day's.

Jed carved this one of Jack Skellington

Alex's creation.

Corben drew this out on paper and Jed remade it on his pumpkin.

Corben and I carved this.

Jedrek's pumpkin.

Jedrek's 10th Birthday

Jedrek had a Pokemon party again this year. We said it was a water battle and had our water slide out and a water volleyball game I found on clearance. But we failed to get pictures of the activities.

Jedrek's present from Mom and Dad

The Pokeball he requested as his cake.

(thank goodness haven't been on my A game for cake decorating this one was an easy one)

Making a wish! He got them all out on the first try!

Happy Birthday Jedrek we love you!

First day of school

I know it's been awhile since school started but I've been under the weather with this baby and not feeling like posting. Better late than never!

Jedrek

Corben

Brothers.

Alex started High School this year and I failed to get a picture of him before he left for the bus.

Let's try this again...

Well Here we go again! So far so good, I'm almost 12 weeks!

Hoping everything goes smoothly!

Rag Quilt

One of Jed's good friends from Best buys wife is pregnant and we were invited to there

baby shower. A few week before was his birthday party and we were invited

and just for small talk I asked her what her theme was for her baby and she said

Elephants! We'll a light went off in my head and I know what I had to do.

I had picked up a yard or so of this Elephant fabric for burp clothes at SAS

and knew I had to go get more to make a rag quilt for them. I've been wanting

to make one and this was a perfect time to make it!

I got the instructions here. I omitted the batting in the middle so

it wouldn't be so hot since it is made from flannel any how.

Here it is... I love the way it turned out.

Back
Up close. Once it gets washed more it will frey more.

I made a card to go with it.

Safari Baby Shower Cake

I was asked by a friend to make a cake for her sister in law's baby shower.

They didn't have any request besides the flavor and filling.

I logged on to her gift registry and found her bedding

and came up with this cake.

I had a fun time making all the Animal's.

It was a technique I've been wanting to learn...

The animal's were a bit heavy and didn't want to stay but...



I think it turned out pretty well!

Tank Cake

Doug & I made this cake together. I baked the cake's, he carved them, I made all the frosting and fondant and covered the cake. He added all the details.

Right after I layed the fondant.

The layers were Red, White, & Blue

Putting in the gun I made...


After all the detail work. We are not brave enough to make our

own figures yet...



Finished work side view...

Happy Birthday Corben!!!

Corben Turns 7!

Friday Corben turned 7.

So Saturday we had his birthday party.

The theme he picked this year was ARMY.

My best friends husband and I made this cake together.

I'll have a post later with more picts of my cake.

Corben going thru the training coarse... Slip and slide...

Going thru the trip wires...


Up the wall and down the water slide...

Pinata time! His Grandma made this cool jeep pinata for him!

He got lots of cool gifts!

Blowing out the candles of his cool Tank cake.

Thanks Doug for helping me tackle this project it was fun!

Topsy Turvy

I've been wanting to make one for a long time... I was scared to try it, it is such an intimidating

technique I was afraid to try it for fear of all my hard work not working.

I showed a picture of one to my friends who asked me to make her a cake and she loved it. (Secretly I was hoping she wouldn't want one like that). So I researched and read and watched tutorials online a million times and finally did it!

The top tier after I carved and dirty Iced it...

Bottom tier after Carved and Iced... a much harder tier to do I had to carve a flat spot so the

top tier would sit right on it.

Top tier after I decorated it. I made Chocolate Fondant! It SMELLS So Yummy!

Fully assembled, the bottom tier was a pain to cover, the fondant the first time wasn't right and when I went to take off the fondant part of the upper part tryed to come off and was never right after I recovered it. But it turned out good.

After all the finishing touches (except the tag) A good experience over all! Thanks Audra for having me face my fear and learn a new technique!
