Cakes!

I've been asked a few times to put some pictures of the cakes I've made on here so people could see them and I'm finally doing it. The 1st one is a cake I made for Holly's Birthday. I wish I had a better picture but this is all a could find. The second picture is the train cake that I made for Carter's 2nd birthday. The third is the carnival cake I made for Carter's 3rd birthday.

The past few months...

Once again I've been terrible about updating. My only excuse is that I've just had a ton going on.

The first week of March my cousin Holly moved here to live with me from New Mexico. It has been really fun having her around! We've had a really fun time together fixing stuff up in her room. We were determined to do things by ourselves without any help from a man. We made a closet, hung shelves, hung mirrors, and much more all by ourselves. Ok, well, almost by ourselves we did have to have my dad help us on one little part, but we pretty much did everything ourselves. Now her room is looking good. Our next project as soon as we save up some money is to make a home office in the third bedroom.

April was a hard month. My dog Cara of 13 years got really sick and I had to put her to sleep. It took me several weeks to get used to her not being around. And I still really miss her. Then a few weeks after Cara died my Grandma Bobby passed away. It was really sad, but I know she is now in a better place. I'm really glad that I went to visit her in March and got to spend several days with her...it was a nice good-bye.

Then after the loss of two family members I gained two. My sister gave birth to my niece, Shannon Marie Talley, on April 3oth at 12:30pm. She was 6lbs. 6oz. 20 inches long and sooooo cute. I got to be in the delivery room, which was really cool! Everything went well and both Laura and Shannon got to go home the next day. That weekend I found out they were having dog adoptions at all the Petsmart's in Dallas, so I thought I would go look. While I was looking I found Lexie. I officially adopted Lexie this week. She is a Collie/Shepherd Mix and she is very cute, but very shy. She just enjoys hanging out on the couch. When walking on a leash she gets scared and walks between my legs. Its very funny!

So anyway its been kind of a crazy couple of months. I think God planned everything to happen in that order so that we ended on a happy note. Gaining Shannon and Lexie sure helped to dampen the sadness of losing Cara and my Grandma.
