Fireman's Day

Waiting for the parade to start at the station


Christopher decided that he did NOT need his mommy to ride with him this year :(


So Robert rode the back of the truck Christopher was on, instead of driving a truck this year



Hailey was making all kinds of crazy faces at the sirens and people throwing candy(she loved that part!)

Sewing right along :)

Fireman's Day was a couple weeks ago and I asked Robert to get Hailey a shirt, because I thought she was going to ride the fire truck this year. Of course he brings home a child's small, and it is to her feet! Sooo, I headed to my mom's while she was at work and set to work transforming this huge t-shirt into a dress, and it actually worked! I was very pleased with myself :)

Before...



And after...

I made this

amazing cast iron skillet apple pie this afternoon! It is insanely good! I don't seem to ever be able to post links correctly, but it is from Southern Living and worth looking up! I also have 2 more apple recipes from the current issue I am looking forward to making, hopefully sooner rather than later :)

Dinner tonight

Was Cobb Pasta Toss

This was a RR recipe, definately not the best but not the worst one either. Of course I am not a big fan of blue cheese or avacodo,so if you like those then you may enjoy this more than I did.

And for dessert, Nestle Tollhouse Chocolate chip pie!! This is crazy good and I will be making it on a regular basis I am sure! So no pic of the pie...

Starting school

I can't believe, or maybe I just don't want to believe that my sweet baby boy is old enough to be going to kindergarten! He actually started Thurs, but now doesn't go back until Weds(31st). I think this is kinda stupid, but I don't have a choice in the matter so oh well.

A week of cakes

So, the cake business seems to finally be picking up a little, however, they seem to be in clusters. I had 4 cakes over the last 5 days! Everyone has been really happy with them and I am hoping they will help spread my name and get some orders from people I don't actually know.

They were having a pot luck dinner for someone's birthday at work last week, so Robert offered to bring the cake of course so this is what I chose for that one. He said it was a huge hit and lots of people asked for business cards, so HOPEFULLY this will bring in some orders!



This one was a 5 yro Birthday. She was very sweet and very excited about it when I delivered it :)






This one was for a friend's mom who was turning 50.


This one was for a guy who works at the Chevy dealership and is leaving to take over a Toyota dealership.

Last weeks good mail

I just love getting good mail! :)
