A New Appreciation

I have a new appreciation for cake decorators. I have been working very hard the last couple of days on a trial run for Micah's 1st birthday cake.








This was my first time I have tried my have at cake decorating. I used marshmallow fondant and I wanted to see how it might turn out. I liked the way the fondant looks on the cake, but I don't think I like the design I came up with. It looks like a blue peppermint and I need to work on word spacing. Oh well. Now we just have to see how it is going to taste. I am not so sure about it, but I think that Dillon and I will try some tomorrow. I'll let you know how it turns out. Wish us luck!

A day that will go down in Micah's baby book. This is the day that he took his first steps! Three to be exact. I will try to get a picture of this soon. I would have tried today, but three was all that we got out of him. :)

One of the many uses of a trash can...

Our son is very creative...If I do say so myself. Take a look at what he can do with a trash can.

Good Distractions

Today was quite a busy day! Since Dillon is out of town, my friends are keeping me preoccupied with things to do... Really, just lovin' on us while Dillon is away. This morning I went with my friend Rachael to to grocery store to find out more about The Grocery Game. We have tried it once before, but I really didn't do too well at it. We don't get the paper so getting a paper and THEN cutting out coupons was too much to do. However, I wanted to see how this game really worked and see if it was worth it for our family to join in on the "Game." Thanks, Rach for showing me the ropes! I don't know if this will work for our budget, but we had a lot of fun hanging out with you and John Michael.

On my way home from the store I received a phone call from Cheryl. (She and her husband, Jack are our class "shepherds" for our ABF...AKA - Sunday school class.) She graciously offered to watch Micah for the afternoon so I could get a chunk of my work hours in today. So Micah and I returned home, he ate lunch, took a nap and then it was off to Ms. Cheryl's for fun times! On the way there I pick up my friend Vonda and we stopped to get ice cream on the way back home. Yummmmmmm, CONNIE'S!!!!

After I picked up Micah (hours later) we returned home and our friends Roy and Claire come over and Roy cut our grass since Dillon was out of town. (What GREAT friends we have!) And since Jeremy was out with the guys for the night Vonda came over, too. Girl time was fun. It was great to catch up with you, ladies! I will see you again for game night on Thursday! Can't wait!

Dillon, Micah and I miss you, but we have wonderful friends who are taking care of us in so many ways! Don't forget to "Have fun, do good, make A's!" I love you!!!!!

Another First

Today was Dillon's first Father's Day. It was a little biter sweet because he left this afternoon to go to Dallas for a week long seminary class. It was so sweet to get to pray with him and Micah before he left. My husband is such an amazing and loving father. I love you, dear!








I didn't get to take any pictures today on the actual day :(, but I will do so when Dillon returns and we can celebrate Micah's wonderful Daddy!

Spider-Boy, Spider-Boy

Around our house my husband loves to make up songs to anything and everything. He also loves Spider-Man. Hence, the reason our son looks like he is stuck to the wall. Dillon was singing "Spider-Boy, Spider-Boy..." while this photo op. was going on.
