Blake's BIrthday

I can't believe my baby turned one on Sunday!!! This year has just flown by for me, and I feel like my kids are growing up way to fast!! We had a big birthday bbq for Blake, and sadly I think he was the grumpiest he has ever been! He was happy while eating his cake though (or the frosting at least) and opening presents. We also had a little Easter egg hunt for the bigger kids and I think they enjoyed that!!! Do I go overboard on birthdays...YES!!! But I love having people over and having any excuse to host a party!!

Blake overall is such a happy boy. He is very mobile now, both crawling and walking while holding onto furniture. He had his one year check up today, and is now 20 pounds 10 oz, and I can't remember his height. He is so much fun, and I look forward to seeing his personality come out more and more!

My cake class

One of my New Year's resolutions was to take some kind of class or learn a new hobby. So when the new Hobby Lobby store opened in AF and I saw that they would be offering cake decorating classes, I decided to sign up! I do not think that I am a very creative or artistic person, but I think that decorating cakes is a skill that every mom should be a little familiar with for all of the birthday cakes!! It just so happened that the class began just a couple weeks before Blake and Jesse's birthdays, and then I have Brynn's in two weeks so I will get a little more practice!! Here are some pictures of a few things I have decorated so far. For some reason a couple of the pictures are sideways and I can't get them on here the right way, they keep flipping!! So you will need to turn your head to get the true picture :)
This is the first cake that I decorated in class. I actually ended up freezing it and using it for Blake's birthday cake!

This is the cake I made for Jesse's birthday.

And here are some cupcakes that I decorated this week in class.

Happiness is...

My kids, they make me so happy!! Aren't they so cute?!
