Cake #2

Last night we had lesson #2. We made our cakes with a basketweave and roses. it took me forever to get the hang of the roses...but once I did it seemed so easy! Krystals cake looked like a GIANT compared to mine but that was just because we used different sized cake pans...oh and she made 2 cake mixes and I made one :D I will be putting Cake #3 on here next week so be sure and check back!

Cakes - Lesson #1

Krystal and I wanted to start to learn how to decorate cakes, so we were going to take a class @ JoAnn, BUT they were all full and we didnt want to have to pay (I get free classes but I was going to pay for half of Krystals to make it fair) My sister-in-law Shannon is great @ cake decorating (she made our wedding cake) so she offered to teach us. We had our first lesson this Monday, character Cakes, Krystal and I both decided on pumpkin shaped cakes. So here are some pictures. I hope to update each week so you can see our progress (exciting right?)

I thought I would add the picture of my wedding cake that Shannon made :D

Our new Great Nephew

Our niece Krystal and her husband Ruben just had a little boy! Ruben George Madrid "Ben"...I got to meet him yesterday so here is a pic of me and Ben. Enjoy!

Our Little bow Show!

Last night Jessie and I had our very first Little Bow Show! It was soo much fun!!! We put out all of our handmade goodies (bows, headbands, jewlery, cards, and baby blankets) and invited our friends over to shop!! We were very impressed with our turn out and can't wait (litterally we are too excited to wait) for our next one...wink wink amber!! We had the intention of taking pictures with all of our friends there but after an exausting day of chasing around 2 little ones, cleaning and re-cleaning when they took everything out again, setting up and finishing last minute projects, we were too pooped to remember to do anything, so after everyone left I snapped a few pictures of the table...not very good pictures...but that is beside the point!

Waiting for the tram

We recently went to Disneyland while Chris's Aunt Debbie, and cousins Ronnie, Zack, Timmy, and Emily were visiting from Utah. Here are some pics...Im not going to put a lot on bc my computer takes forever to upload so if you wanna see more they are on my FB page! Enjoy!

Okay so our niece Krystal is about to have a baby boy which is very exciting... I was a little sad that I didnt have anything to make for him bc I am much better @ making stuff for baby girls and Jessie had the whole rag quilt thing cover (darn there went the one handmade gift I could give) but then I stumbled across a whole bunch of tutorials for a car seat canopy and thought that that was something I could do for a girl or a boy (I am not giving direct credit to any one blog since I looked at so many and used diffrent aspects of all of the ones I saw...sorry) Anyway I am pretty sure Krystal does not read this so I am going to post it now instead of waiting until May after the shower! I used the crab print bc Krystal is having an ocean themed shower and nursey and I am a sucker for anything red white and blue!

For Jessie!

Okay Jessie Lemme know if you get an email that I posted this! I think that I did it right!

(FYI for everyone else Jessie would like to get email notifications when I update the blog and this is how I am testing it out!)

A little warmer this is us outside of Target! Around 3:30...We never went to bed on Thanksgiving...we went to the disney store @ midnight, old navy @ 2, Walmart (kinda) @ 3, Target @ 4, and Joanns @ 6! It was fun and we saved a TON of money!

Chris puts up the tree on Black Friday!

Aubrey is showing of her lost tooth

She has lost her bottom 2 teeth the one on the left is growing back in! Also a good up the nose shot! Sorry!

Aubrey asked me one day to help her with a Christmas present for her mom...I said sure and I thought we would go to target and pick someting out...So I arranged a sleepover so we could go shopping...I asked her what she wanted to get for her mom and she had some BIG plans! Apparently she had thought about this for a while, She said she wanted to do a scrapbook all about her mom and her (in kindegarden they did an all about me book, which is most likely where she got part of her idea) she said she wanted pictures of her mommy and her when the were babies and all sorts of stuff! So I took her to Grandmas house and we started looking for pictures of little Amber...Aubrey picked out all the pictures of Amber and all the pictures of her that we used, helped me copy them, put them in the book and decided what the captions would say and wrote them herself...I did most of the sticking down bc I am really anal about things being straight...but she used the sticker maker and did most of the work! The book turned out super cute and Amber loved it!

She was soo funny she said she looked like Handy Manny! Oh and she said I had to put her hair in a bun so she could work! She is sooo funny!

That is her working with the sticker maker paper

We went up to Big Bear with Ian, Jessie, Kira, and Jessie's siter Emily. This is me shoveling snow

This is Chris"shoveling snow" it is in quotations bc I shoveled and he said lemme get a picture shoveling snow and then handed the shovel back to me!
