Enjoying time with Grandma Re

For the past week we have had the pleasure of having Ryan's grandmom stay with us. We are very excited about this because we don't get to see her as often as we like to and also this trip was also intended for her to go to Florida to find a new home to rent in prospects of moving permantly. The trip thus far has been a sucess. We are now actually in her new trailer that she is renting. It is in a lovely town called Inverness. We are only staying one night but are enjoying the short trip. In a little while we are going to take the kids fishing and maybe to a local park. We will just have to see what adventures we can find. Also, in the past week our little Meghan has decided that she is ready pull up on everything. Now, keep in mind, she has only been crawling for no more than 2 weeks.So it seems she is going to take after her big sister, and skip over crawling, and go straight to walking. We'll have to keep you updated. To be continued...

Long time no Post

I know I am a total slacker. What can I give you all as a great excuse??? I guess none really. At least not any new ones. I do however feel totally guilty for not at least posting something. So I am here now, posting on what a busy week we have had. It is all do to Nathan. He turned four last Wedsenday and we were celebrating his birthday pretty much since then. He is very much into Spider man, so that is the cake and cupcakes design I made him this year. Yes, I made cupcakes and a cake. The cupcakes were of course for his class up at preschool. Then over the weekend I was going to make his cake for his "party" on Monday. Nathan and I had looked at different types of spider cakes to see what he wanted. He chose a Spider man bust cake. It was really cool looking and really didn't seem had to make. I was ready for the challenge. I had everything ready to go, cakes baked on Saturday ready to frost and put together on Sunday. With the time change though, we all needed naps, desperately. Nathan of course didn't want to and so he watched a movie. When I woke up I noticed he had chocolate all around his face. It took me all of two seconds to fear/realize where it came from. Yes, I found the cakes that I had made and put up (at least I thought I put them up well enough) half eaten and pieces everywhere. Needless to say, I wasn't very happy. So long story made longer, he did not get the spider man cake that he wanted, but I managed to salvage what I could. I think he could have really cared less what it actually looked liked, but I was looking forward to trying out this new design of cake. All in all we had a great time with family and friends enjoying hot dogs and hamburgers. Nathan received many nice gifts and had a great time. So once again, HAPPY BIRTHDAY NATHAN!!!
