Here is my niece Makenzie and her groom Phillip. It was a fun time and I got to make the cake. FYI. Plain white fondant cakes are the hardest to make. There can't be any flaws. I learned A Lot on this one. It was fun. Congrats you two and a happy life together.
Her theme was Lemons and Limes, here are some shots of the decor. Also some YUMMY treat from a German bakery. (He was 
born in Germany and lived there the first 11ish years of 
his life)
Okay, I won't promise to be better at posting because I hate to break a promise so we'll just see how it goes.
UTAH!
We went up for two weddings. I have pictures of neither. (don't ask) but I do have pictures of other things though. Here we go. We arrived Friday night about 5pm. That gave us just enough time to eat quick and head out to a community theater production of Suesical the Musical. My nephew played Horton the elephant and my niece played Gertrude. It was held outside, the weather was perfect and the kids loved it. Good job Jeremy and Casey! You both rock.
Also while there the kids got to do their favorite things. Take care of the horses, "pick" eggs the chickens had laid and hunt for the foxes. (There is a fox den behind the barn with a mama, papa and 5 babies) We actually brought home chicken bones they found around the den. (not my idea) Here are some shots of them with the animals and in Uncle Bill's awesome garden.
I do have a question? Since when is this normal at the tail end of June?
This morning Speed used one of his dollars so he could buy lunch at school today. Girly wanted to do the same but since she can't save money for the life of her she had none to use. She was SOOOO upset. No amount of explaining that Speed has money because he saves what he earns and she spends as soon as she gets it would calm her down. After a melt down in the kitchen and refusing to make a lunch - vowing to just not eat; the sweetest thing happened. Instead of gloating and mocking because he gets to buy lunch and she doesn't, Speed went quietly into his room and emerged with a dollar for Girly to buy lunch too. (I of course had to make up the difference, it was too sweet.) She grabbed him and sobbed "thank you, thank you, thank you!" Just when you think know what will happen... I am so greatful for a loving son.
I swear they liked it.
There was music, there was dancing, there was food, oh man - did I mention the food?
This is a Hawaiian shaved ice. They are Ginormous! This one is half gone already. If you haven't had one ever you are missing out. The ice is so fluffy soft, there is ice cream at the bottom the flavors, well they speak for themselves. And as if they weren't good enough you can have sweet cream poured all over it to top it off. Almost like being back in Haleiwa, HI.
The day was SO awsome and I must mention how we got there and back. Instead of driving, finding parking, paying for parking and fighting the crowds to leave we rode the light rail for the first time. It was a lot of fun and the kids loved it. Easy to do, and it dropped us about one block away. So Easy! I recommend it.
