More Cakes

So here are a couple of new cakes that I made this week. I have been doing some new things and new recipes, lots of fun. The yellow one is a daisy cake. The daisys took me a while, but I like them, I think that they turned out well.
The 2nd one I like to call Fall Foliage, although, Phoenix looks nothing like that in the Fall, I am not even sure what Fall is anymore.

Stay tuned, I am going to launch a blog dedicated to cakes. I will keep you posted!

"30"

Today is my 30th Birthday and I expected to wake up with grey hair and a bad back, but none of that happened. I have been dreading this day for the past year. But today as I look at my life I realize that God has been good to me and that I have nothing to feel bad about. I have 2 beautiful children and wonderful husband. We have a nice home and good friends. What more could a 30 year old ask for. And besides, tonight when we were at dinner the waitress told me that 30 is the new 21!! So right on

Help

I am moving forward with the cake decorating business. For a while it was just a dream, but I really think it is possible. So, I am looking for someone to help me with creating a logo. I have an idea of what I am looking for but I am not very computer savvy, so I need a graphic designer who can help me out. Any of you out in blogger land who can help me create it, or know someone that is a graphic designer that you could pass along would be extrememly helpful. I am eventually looking for someone who can also create me a website also, so if you have any guidance in that area also that would be helpful.

Willis Update

Willis seems to be a little better. We got some of the bloodwork back and his thyroid is low. Which I'm not sure would cause seizures, but it would make him lazy and overweight and he is definitely both of those! I'll keep you posted.

Dogs Dogs Dogs!

For those of you who are not dog owners you are going to think that this next post is silly. But, we have 2 dogs. We have had Willis since right after we got married, he is a beagle and he was our first baby. He has moved all over the country with us and he is defintely part of the family. While I definitely feel different about him after we had children, I still love him with all my heart. I say all that first so that you understand my sadness. There is definitely something wrong with Willis. He started having these spells about 2 weeks ago, the vet says that they are seizures. Other than that, he still seemed fine, he was eating and playing and all the normal things that a dog does. Just every now and then he would flip out. Last night however, we really thought that we had lost him. He was lethargic and unresponsive and he wouldn't move at all. My husband carried him in the house and he just laid on the floor. We even rang the door bell to see if he would bark, because he usually does, and all he did was lift his head.
When we woke up this morning Patrick took him to the vet and they did a $500 blood test!!! I think Vets are full of crap, but that will be another post entirely. So we have to wait for the results of the blood test to see what the problem is. He has moved a little today, but not much. And he is not eating. Which for a beagle is strange, if you have ever seen Willis you would see that he has not missed too many meals.
This dedicated to by beagle boy Willis, we love you buddy!!

LIfe As We Knew It

Morgan is officially crawling, which does not really excite me. She is barely 6 months old, I think she is too young for this craziness. She is still pretty slow, but se is movin! When Reagan was this age we really had the house baby proofed, but over the last year and a half, we have slowly started putting stuff back out. So, now I need to go through the house again. She keeps finding my shoes and putting them in her mouth!! AUGH!!! And so it begins.

Awesome!

I just made the first cake that someone is paying me for and it is awe... wait for it some!!! If I do say so myself. I am very proud of it and I hope that you all enjoy it. I had so much fun doing it also. So tell your friends that I am available. I would love to do a wedding cake sometime soon, so keep me in mind and pass the word along!!

The cake is for someone's 22nd B-day, but I actually like it without the numbers better. But here they are!
