Birthday Lunch with friends

I had such a busy/fun weekend. I started out the weekend with a lunch date on Friday with my best friends in Utah. Kelly wanted to take me out for my birthday even though it was a week late - I love dragging out my birthday, everyone knows that and I am not one to argue about getting together with friends. The only one missing was Tera, wish she could have joined us but she had a sick child at home. Thank you Kelly for the fun lunch date - I am so glad we're friends.

Last class in course one

Had my last cake decorating class Wednesday and we learned to make the Wilton rose. It has been a really fun class and fun to learn how to decorate a cake. Next course starts in April and I will be learning how to work with fondant.

Elvis is Alive

Look who was driving next to me in Layton yesterday. Here I am trying to slyly take a picture of this guy and his car when I look at the guy in the car on the other side of me and he is also taking pictures of "Elvis". We were both laughing. I wonder what his kids think when he comes to thier school functions. This man is having too much fun - love it.

Emma Victoria Woods

It was spotlight week for Emma at school. She brought in one of her favorite books, I like Myself, to read to the class and made a poster all about her to share with the class. Jeff and I were able to come to class on Friday to be with her while she answered questions from the students and told them all a little about who Emma is. What a fun thing to be a part of. She is precious and brings us such joy.

Emma also received another "Cool Colt" award this week for helping a special needs girl who was having a hard time. If there is one word that describes Emma it is definitely, helpful.

Licensed to Kill.....Animals

Jeff is now licensed to hunt and he is excited. He got his first gun as a present from Santa, went through training to receive his license and now awaits hunting season. There is something about hunting that just seems wrong to me, and the last thing I want is my freezer full of Elk meat. Although I am happy that it is something Jeff and Jeffrey can do together and I know it will bring may fond memories, along with bonding time, for the two of them.

Cake Decorating

I have always wanted to know how to decorate a cake so Jeff got me lessons for my birthday. It is a really fun class. This is my first cake and I love it because I love colorful spring flowers( I just love spring colors). Cake decorating is so fun and easy once you learn the little tricks of the trade. Check out those leaves - no lessons, figured it out on my own, it's all in the angle and the pressure. Hee hee.

My Birthday Weekend

I had a fun birthday weekend. Mom and Dad came up and we had fun hanging out, eating and shopping. Olivia was so cute and must have told me six or seven times happy birthday on Sunday. After we ate dinner, Olivia told me not to clean a thing and to go sit down on the couch so she could rub my feet. I love my kids.

 Mom and I went to The Quilted Bear to shop around on Friday. I liked these signs for the laundry room. The top is my favorite - it says, "I don't skinny dip, I chunky dunk.

I saw this a few weeks ago at the Quilted Bear and finally bought it this time as a present for myself. I am excited to decorate it each season.

We went to dinner Friday night with Nathan and Tanya and Mom and Dad. We went to a place in Ogden that my girls(Emma and Olivia) went to before with some friends of ours. It is called Prairie Schooners and it is really good with a fun atmosphere.

 

Nathan's Rico suave look. He loves it.

This was in the center of the wagons(tables) we were seated in.Tanya is picking the bears nose.

Birthday cake at home with the family on Sunday. It was nice that my birthday was on Sunday so it could be a more relaxing day to enjoy the company of my family without anything else going on. We played games, ate a good meal and had two delicious cakes.

 

Jeff gave me cake decorating lessons for my present and mom bought me some new supplies. I made up the frosting before we left for dinner Saturday and when we came home, this is what Renae had made just off of the little bit mom taught her about decorating earlier that day. She's a natural. It was beautiful.
