Wedding Cake

I had the pleasure of doing a wedding cake for a cute couple who got married this week in the Bountiful Temple!  When she brought me her color swatches for the cake I was surprised at how bright of colors she had chosen, but they are such a bright and fun couple so it totally fit them.  This cake was a lot of fun and I am also doing her twin sister's wedding cake too...in two weeks!  Can you believe it, twin sisters getting married two weeks apart!  Watch out Michael and Jenny!  Luke of course helped me deliver the cake and he has a new appreciation for his dad that delivered wedding cakes for his mom for 25 years...it's a heavy and stressful job!  I'm very grateful for his help and support.  I get to start learning the "Mrs. Flinders" cakes (from Mrs. Flinders herself) in the next couple of weeks, so wish me luck!!

Summer Lovin Fun

One of my favorite things to do with the kids during the day is to go out and draw with chalk on the driveway and blow bubbles.  We do it several times a week, sometimes several times a day.  Last week our next door neighbor, Darlene, saw us out playing and grabbed her camera (she's a photographer) and came out to take a few pictures of the kids playing.  Wasn't that nice of her?  I love these pictures because she captured our normal everyday life, which I usually forget to take pictures of.  So it will be fun to look back and see something that wasn't a holiday, birthday or special occasion...just two kids and their mom out on a summer day.

You can all breathe now...

I know there are so many people who read my blog and are anxious for me to update it.  I'm sure you've all just been checking your computers daily for the moment when I will post something magical for you all to see.  Well wait no longer...the day is here! 

Ok really, I know my mom and mother-in-law are the only ones who really look at my blog, so for you two lovely women...here are some pictures of your beautiful son and grandchildren.  Enjoy. :)

 Yes, Master Luke graduated with his MBA (technically he walked across the stage and was hooded with a harry potter hood thing and will actually receive his diploma in two weeks when he finishes his last two classes!!!!)  Are we proud of him or are we proud of him?  I don't think I've ever met someone with the kind of dedication that Luke has had in completing his education...and yes, it is complete.  He is done forever!

 I know this picture isn't very good quality, but I feel like this picture sums up the life of Brock and Sophie so perfectly.  Brock is always such an animated little thing and Sophie is just enamored with him.  It is such a fun thing to see my children interact and play with eachother.  I absolutely love it!

 My sweet kids.  Sophie is usually such a smiley girl but for some reason the day that I wanted to take pictures of my kids in their Easter outfits she was feeling oh so meloncholy [read with a Megamind accent].  Still cute though wouldn't ya say?

 For Memorial Day weekend we decided to do our very first "stay-cation" and we took Brock up to the Heber Valley Creeper for a "Day Out with Thomas".  On this very special weekend, Thomas the tank engine himself actually pulls the Heber Creeper and we got to ride inside it!  I wish I could have captured the look on his face when he first saw Thomas...it was a look that you would imagine if a child saw Santa Claus; just complete awe and utter bliss at the same time like, "Thomas is real!!!"  Let's just say he was one happy boy!

This was Luke and Brock on the train together.  Mimi and Papa sat across the isle from us and Papa was able to capture some priceless pictures of Brock on his very first Thomas ride.  It's obvious to see where Brock got his adorable looks from! {raising eyebrows up and down}

"Look at my huuuusband ya'll!" -Flo, from Disney's "Cars" (I have way too many Disney movies memorized)

And last, but not least...our Beautiful Sophie.  Our little Peach.  She might possibly be the sweetest little girl on the planet.  She's got a little of her mom's crazy in her too, but what an angel we have living in our family.  We love our Sophie B.
