Cakie Cake!

I have two new hobbies! I have to give all the credit to my bestest friend Kristen for the first one. She inspires me to try new things and be proud of my new accomplishments. She is an amazing wife, mother, sewer, cake maker, and best friend! Anyway check her blog out she pretty much rocks! Now, back to me! ha! Here are the second ever cake made and third ever cake made. I unfortunately don't have any pictures of the first. I have three more on my to do list for this summer so far, and two of them for next week! I am super excited to see how they turn out! 

Trisha's 15th Birthday cake

Alex's Wedding cake

Adventures with Aunt Shere

We haven't beem keeping up with our blog...I know I am very sorry. Hopefully I will be able to update y'all on what has been happening over the past two months. Just a little hint... I made three cakes, Alex got married, Josh finished school, a few sewing projects and so much more! So stay tuned to see it all!

As for today...Aunt Sheree invited me over for a swim in the pool and then we went on a mini road trip to a farm and nursery out by Gervais. It was called Bauman Farms and Garden. It was super cool and had  some amazing hanging baskets! They were huge. They also had the yummiest strawberries and raspberries! I don't know if the picture does it justice but the petunias in the baskets were ginormous!

What we have been up too!!

So I have not been keeping up with my blogging. I know that is very lazy of me. It just seems like we aren't really doing anything exciting, and who wants to read about that!
Well, back in January it was my birthday! We didn't have camera but everyone else did, so if you want to see pictures of that tell my mom to update her blog! Valentines Day was pretty awesome. I got flowers, a new mug, and a camera. The Camera was OK but we decided to return it. So here are some pictures of what we have been up too!
Josh has been doing a lot of this...

I got some of these...

And, I tried out a camera...

Oh, I love Carnival glass, really antique or not. No matter if it is real or fake. I got this bowl at the antique mall in Newport. Some told me it was fake and I paid to much, but I don't care it has great memories of a trip to the beach in it. Oh and it is really pretty!

Looking Up

Every day is a step towards the place I want to be.

Every stride is one more closer to my dreams

I march on

Through every ache

Though the winds hiss,

And the plummeting rain stings my face

I do not look back

I will never slump

I prevail by the simple taking of a footstep

I will endure and I will look up

I will carve my path out of the very stones that stand against me

I will break the tethers that bind and hold me back

I remain true to my quest

And never fear

For with each step I take

I feel your presences at my side

Although my path is rigid and testing

With you, I know I can reach the crown

With you I know I can conquer this summit

At the finish we will embrace,

And look back at the challenges we faced

Remember everything we fought for

Every sacrifice we gave

And everything we achieved.
