cakes

Here are the cakes from the three weeks of my classes, I did manage to put them in the wrong order. So the last cake is the first on I did. I had a lot of fun doing it. My roses still need a little work, but they turned out to put on the cake. The last cake I did, the one that is pictured first, everyone in my class really liked. One of the ladies in the class asked me if I would make her birthday cake for her. My teacher told me that I should start thinking of a name for my business. So enjoy and sorry you all are too far away for me to make you cakes.

So sad

One of our favorite things to do on a hot day is go to Target and get there popcorn and drink combo. The kids would eat it in the cart and I would walk around. Best of all they have air conditioning, which I don't have to pay for. Pretty good for a $1.00. Well we went there and they have raised the price to $1.50. I can go buy a box of popcorn for less than that. So I am thinking that our days of getting it is gone.

Another first for me

I went to one of my friend's beach house the other day and had lots of fun. It is in spot where there are only beach houses, so the beach was nice and private. The kids loved it. While we were there I show some fins out in the water. I thought for a minute that it might be a shark, but it turned out to be dolphins. That was after my friends laughed at me for getting so concerned. But that was the first time that I had seen them swimming out in the ocean, so cool. Then she was telling about the shark teeth they had found there. So being me I asked her what they looked like. Again she laughed at me because I had never seen them before. So she showed me the shark teeth they had found. Again another first for me. I am loving here and only wish that I could share it all with everyone.

Swim lessons

Aubrey started her swim lessons this week, she likes them and doesn't. They are working on getting them use to the water, which Aubrey is, but she can't figure out how to kick with her legs behind her. On Monday she was up at 7:00 because she was ready to go. The next day she went because she was able to play at the park after wards. On Wednesday she went because then she was able to go to a beach house with a friend. Today she went because her dad went as well. It has been go for her, because she has had to listen. She is learning, it just takes time and there are a lot of kids. Mason just can't understand why he can't go with her. When she is done he is always waiting right at the fence to see her and giver her a hug. I really don't know what he is going to do when she goes to her summer camp.

Try again

I tried putting this on with the other pictures, but it didn't work, but it does go along with my other post. Sorry Dad I didn't forget you! Happy Father's Day.

A day late....

Just wanted to say happy father's day! Hope is nice for everyone.

Masons head

I took Mason in to the doctor and they didn't do anything to it. It could have used something, but well it put it nicely, I hate the doctor. This time she pretty much told me that she didn't believe that it was an accident and that it didn't happen while someone else was watching him. Finally she was told me that if someone else really was watching him then I should never let them watch him again. Grrrrrr! So I am now going to find a new doctor, one that does think that I beat my children and never feed them. For those of you don't know this isn't the first time that she has said something like this. But Mason is doing fine, now we just have to healing process to go through.

crazy week

I have been meaning to write, but we have been busy. We were outside all day Monday, just playing. That night I had the first of my mother’s day's gift, cake decorating lessons. So far I have liked them, we will see how I do when I have to start the decorating, I will make sure to post pictures of my cakes. On Tuesday the kids wanted to go swimming so we went to the beach. They have a splash park for the kids there, so we didn't even make it down to the beach at all. But hey it keep the kids entertained for 2 hours, can't bet that. Wednesday we went to the library and played at the park for a while. It was the park with the carousel, so they both rode the horses. The first time Mason wouldn't ride them, he got scared. Now I have to pry his hands off when we are done. Last night Richard and I went on a date. There is another family in the apartments who we trade watching kids. We went to the beach, had dinner and played in the water. It was fun to do without the kids. Richard gave me a new ring on our date as well. I should have pictures, but they are on the camera and I really need to get them off. I also had a first last night, I saw a live armadillo walking on our sidewalk last night. I had to go to Wal-Mart to get stuff for Mason's head and there it was. Now for Mason's head. He hit it again. He hit it while we were out. I take him into the doctor today. I don't know if they will stitch it or glue it but we will see. Again I have pictures of it, but once again they are on the camera. So I will try to get them up today. So that is our week so far. Well other than Richard, but he spends his time in class and studying, how boring is that. Anyway, but on the watch for my pictures, I promise I will get them up.

Fun time

Richard had to work tonight and when he left to go we went to the pool. I love it when you can go swimming at 5:00 at night and the water is warm. The kids love it, they are even getting more daring. Aubrey will put her head under the water, as long as she has her goggles on. The both jump into the water and go on their stomachs and backs. I can't believe that they both are growing up so fast. We also went to a store today and there was a butterfly flying around. The kids thought it was one of the coolest things. It was fun to hear both of them laughing and trying it get it.

One of my hobbies

So I think it is fun to look at houses. I don't know why but I do. Richard just laughs at me, because I find one and then he has to look at the pictures. He has learned that it is better to just look, then to remind me that we can't have it. So I found this house the other day and fell in love with it.

So you can all laugh at me now, but I thought of all the cool things I could do with the house. Then I could turn around and rent it out for well over $1500 a week due to location. If only I had money and time.

Fun weekend

We had a way cool weekend. It was the space shuttle launch and we decided that we should head down to see it. Richard asked around his class and come to find out that one of the girls dad's works for NASA. So he was able to get us a parking pass for the base. We headed down to Daytona to a big flea market. It was huge, but all we bought were sunglasses. Then we head to Cape Canaveral to meet up this the girl and her dad. They had a pass to go to his office to watch the launch. We had to go in with him because it is only for people who work there or are retired from there. We weren't able to get in with our parking pass, because we were there too early, we could only get in an hour before the launch. So someone brought another pass out to us to get to the office. It is five miles away from where they launch the shuttle. So we were on the roof as it went up. It was so cool and something that was well worth it. After the launch the traffic was crazy so we headed down a little bit further to Cocoa Beach to play. The kids loved it and managed to get all wet. At least I put an extra pair of clothes in for both of them. Someday I might get to the point that I remember to throw in swimming suits. I have pictures and videos of all of this, but I have no idea where they are right now and will have to wait for Richard to help me. But it was one of my favorite days here.
