CakeTastic

Tomorrow I am back to Sweet Cakes for the remaining 4 weeks of externship before I am officially done with school, and degree accomplished. Its really great to be able to write down a goal and finally see it come to fruition.

We had our family pictures taken on Friday afternoon up at the rose garden. We are getting the pictures either tomorrow or Tuesday, and we are super excited. Lily even behaved for a few of them! Sara was really great and I cant wait to see what she came up with.

---------------------------------------------------

We are working on redecorating our bedroom and upstairs bathroom. Its been really fun and we love going and finding random awesome things for the house, paint samples, frames. All that fun stuff.

---------------------------------------------------

No new pictures today. Will add some as soon as we get our new family photos. So excited! Until then I should head to bed. Well I will probably stay up for a few more hours designing cakes, but hey atleast I will be IN bed.

Spring Break

Huck and I have the week off from everything for Spring Break. Its been really nice doing whatever we want and just relaxing.

------------------------------------------

Monday I chopped my hair off again, after letting it get longer for a few months. Love the length and layers now.

-------------------------------------------

Friday we are getting our pictures taken with a really great Portland photographer in downtown. It will be our first family photos with Lily. Should be really fun and I cant wait to see what kind of pictures we come out with!

------------------------------------------------------------------


Lily will be 2 on the 12th of April and our 2nd wedding anniversary is on the 14th.

Im done with my externship on April 24th, and officially down with school that day.

Graduation ceremony is on May 9th.

My parents and Grandma Zola are coming on May 8th to stay for a little while and we have a lot planned. Trips to the beach. White water rafting trips. Fancy dinners on the river. The whole thing. Maybe even dinner at Bleu. Really excited.

----------------------------------------------------------

Finally got pictures back from one of our weekends on the beach with our friends Jonny and Nicole (their baby Kyser) and our buddy Addison. We had a blast taking Lily and just running around. The beach is so close to our house that we try to get there as often as we can.

It was time for an adventure

The weather today wasn't perfect...it was pretty much the opposite. But we didnt care. We decided that today was a day for an adventure. We started by getting on the busy freeway into Portland.



One of my favorite parts of Portland is this tunnel.



You start in the busy city of Portland. And by the time that you enter this beautiful tunnel with houses built on and around it........



You find yourself in the forest.


We made our way to the zoo to spend some time with our friends.

Chocolate cake and chocolate buttercream.

Getting some practice in before the big cake in June.

Been a little while...

I have been really busy with work and life lately and havent had any time to write! Or I have been passing out on the couch around 8 every night!

------------------------------------------------------


Lily is doing much better. She got her stitches out yesterday and the wounds are pretty much healing nicely. She has some swelling, maybe infection, in one of her joints and they had to do a "BUBopsy". We will find out in a few days what is going on.

Other than that......no more stupid cone!

(Her head is so big that we had to fasten the cone on the largest ring....making it satelite dish HUGE. She has knocked us both to the ground more times than we would like to admit.)

She is still really attached to us though.....




------------------------------------------------------------

I got on Hy's case the other day about how I bake SOO much for him and how he never suprises me with any baked treats. I was totally kidding and trying to give him a little bit of crap, and soon headed into the shower.

When I got out, I found him making AMAZING chocolate brownies... can you believe it??

I couldn't either....so I took a picture for proof!




------------------------------------------------------------
My good friend Cassandra Lynn FINALLY had her baby girl! After what must have seemed like the longest pregnancy EVER ( what with being dialated for 4 cm for nearly 2 weeks) gave birth to a beautiful girl named

Olivia Honey Lynn Rangel

She has been fighting off some jaundace but things are looking better.

I cant wait to see baby and mama. I am so happy that that they have each other!



-------------------------------------------------------------
Ive just been working up a storm, my hours got doubled and I am now 4 1/2 weeks away from graduation. I cant hardly wait.

Been making lots and lots of cakes and working really hard on my cake designs. Melissa got me into sketching lots of cake designs and now I am really into it!







Nothing too exciting, just a quick work party cake.
--------------------------------------------------

Thats about everything......lots of Lily, work, friends,family, school. The WHOLE THING.
