Kindergarten

Today Fischer started Kindergarten.  You don't realize how quickly times flies until you realize your oldest baby is off going to school.  I can't believe how grown up he's becoming and I am so proud of the person he is.  He was a little nervous until he saw his friend and they instantly teamed up to conquer this new adventure together.  I'm not one to get overly emotional but I was so proud seeing him lined up with all the other kids ready to go into school.  Then without warning just as he was about to go into the classroom door he stops, turns around, and runs to give me a big hug, only to walk back into the classroom with his head high and all the confidence in the world.  I love that boy so much.

Vintage Lace & Flowers Wedding Cake

Made this cake for my sister-in-laws mother who was getting married.  All the flowers and lace were handmade.  It was fun learning new skills and I'm grateful for friends who trust me enough to attempt such an important cake.

Summer Fun

Wow!  This summer is FLYING by.  I know it's really only been a couple weeks since I posted things onto the blog but it seems like so much has happened in that short time.  My sister and her family were in town so we've been busy enjoying the company of family we don't see often.  Here is a recap of just some of the things we have been doing the past couple weeks.

GRANDMA'S HOUSE

We have been spending some time hanging out with Grandma Kate and Grandpa Brian (My Parents).

 Grandpa pulled out the four wheeler so the kids could take took turns going for a a ride.

 The kids had a great time being silly and dressing up.

FOOD TRUCK TUESDAY

We had a picnic and enjoyed food truck Tuesday in Eagle Mountain. Everyone got to pick what they wanted to eat.

 Afterwords the kids played duck duck goose.

 and decided to "doggie" pile on top of hunter.

GREAT GRANDPARENTS

The family decided to drive up to Peoa and visit my grandparents.  It's been a long time since I've been to my grandma and grandpa's house.  Usually when we have family gatherings we are at a banquet hall so it was fun to show the kids the house I remember playing and having fun at as a kid.

Picture with great grandparents

 My grandparents house has a ditch that runs in front of their property.  The kids LOVED playing in it and seeing if they could find/catch little fish.

 Seeing my kids walking and sticking their feet in the water reminded me of the many times I did that exact thing with my cousins and siblings

SUGAR FLOWERS 101

My niece Alyson come over so I could teach her how to make fondant flowers.  She needed to learn a new skill to pass off a goal in her personal progress book for church. She had mentioned an interest in learning so we had her come over and made an afternoon of it. 

 I though she did such an amazing job.  It was fun getting to hang out with my oldest niece.  Its not often she and I get to hang out with them living so fat away so it was nice catching up with her and doing something fun.

PIONEER DAY

For the 24th, we got together at my parents for dinner and fireworks.  Cristy and her family were leaving for home the next day so we wanted to hang out, say our goodbyes, and wish them a safe trip. It'll probably be awhile before we get to play and visit with them again. 

We love our family and I love that my kids are building friendships with their cousins that I hope will last a lifetime.
