LET THEM EAT CAKE!!!

Happy Birthday Kevin! What a great week it has been. Dan and I attempted our first themed birthday cake, together. Well? What do you think? We had such a blast from beginning to end. We are both pretty excited about our venture into the "Cake World". And both of us are eager to challenge each others skills and creativity. I was quite impressed with my "Maine Man, Dan". He came up with the idea of the castle, and made the cake from start to finish. Even the marshmallow walls. The only thing I did to the castle was spray color and make the flag. WOW!!! GO HONEY!! Anyway, it looks as if we may have our first customer. Our friends son is getting married in May, and while at a birthday party, we were approached about making the "WEDDING CAKE" UUUGGGGG!!!! OOOOHHHHHHH!!! They heard about our dragon cake, and the rest is history. Dan and I are VERY excited, and nervous. But it's not until May 2009, so that will give us both plenty of time to create. YEAH!!!
Finally, Thanks go out to the Cohen crew for letting Dan and I share in the family fun and excitment of Kevin's birthday. We had alot of fun, and the look on his face was priceless.











Thanks T-Rohey for taking the pics. Until next time! Oh, remember to BRUSH YOUR TEETH ALWAYS after eating creative concotions containing such sugary substances!

SURPRISE!!!! GREAT GRAMMY!!!!

Happy Birthday Mom! This weekend, Kristen, Jared, Haleigh, Joanna(my sister), and I, surprised my mom for her birthday. We left Friday, and stayed at a motel overnight in Fort Myers, Florida. My mom had no idea we were down there.

My dad was in on the whole thing. Dad even came to the hotel and met Haleigh for the first time, and went out to dinner with us.
We had a wonderful time! On Saturday, we drove down to Naples to my mom's friend's house for the surprise party. Mom had NO IDEA! We were all hiding in the kitchen and mom was telling Christina how we could not make it down for the party. HILARIOUS!!! SURPRISE MOM!!!! After the party we drove back to Fort Myers and spent the remaining weekend at my parents house. On Sunday my mom, sister, and I decided to try and find an indian grocery store. She loves one of the dishes I make. I gave her the recipe, and we went on the hunt for the spices she would need. We found a wonderful Indian Grocery Store down there. I was like a little kid in a toy store. It was so organzied, and had such a variety. The people who owned the store were very nice and amuzed at the three white women squealing, giggling, and frolicking like little girls inside the store over all the possibilities of great new tempting dishes awaiting our creativity.SWEET!!!!!
Anyway, mom bought me a new chappati pan for my birthday. Dan was really excited to see that come home with me. He already has plans to use it to make some blackened chicken. YUMMMY! It was a great weekend, and I had fun with the family!It is also nice to be back home. Now I can rest. Do you ever do that. GO on vacation, and come back needing a vacation from your vacation? Oh well. We played hard, laughed hard, and enjoyed EVERY FUN-FILLED MINUTE!!!

Pick me up, and I'll be your best friend..Oh bring the turkey too!

Hi Uncle Alex! Well, it's been a busy past few weeks...work, family, fun, you know, the usual. Haleigh Bug is growing SO fast! Pop-Pop and I are having a ball watching her while mommy and daddy are at work. Her mommy and daddy have been introducing her to new foods...sweet potatoes, carrots, bananas, pears, peas, and green beans. What a great variety. Kristen's really excited about feeding her turkey for Thanksgiving. Did you know that you can buy turkey and chicken in baby food jars now. Yes, it's already ground up and ready to go. Just heat and eat. WOW!! Yum, Yum. You try it first Pop-Pop!

Now, can you guess,besides eating, what one of the other FAVORITE activities Haleigh is beginning to enjoy?
