The post where I feel like crap.

Hyrum and I have just been a handful of busy lately. Between his work, my work, and our mutual commute there just isn't enough time in the day!

Today I am sick and miserable. I cant breath, hear, swallow; I think you get the point.I stayed home from work and laid on the couch all day. It was entirely boring.


Last weekend Robin and I went to an old hotel for a wedding out in Hillsboro. It was lovely.






After the Christmas rush and the pace of the whole Holiday season, The last few months have felt really easy. Now that Easter is closing in (and thankfully Valentines day is over) we are picking up again. We are doing these fantastic 3D egg shaped cakes.

Beth has been up to her shoulder in cake batter constantly!



Now that it is full blown SPRING here, our little family has been venturing outside!
We are lucky to have so many hiking areas and fantastic little spots for a picnic.





I am really hoping we can get over to the International Test Rose Garden tomorrow and just hang out after work tomorrow!

And finally my favorite two photos of the week...

Just a wednesday

Today is Wednesday.


I got up about 5:45. Yay. Let me walk you through my day.

All of the girls wear bandannas at work, so every morning I don't really have to care about my hair...



Straight into that bandanna with the occasional fake flower.

Once a week I go for a drink before work, I try not to let it become a problem.



I sit under the tree, in my car, and relax for a few minutes before going to work!

Where I do some of this...



Lemon buttercream and Lemon Curd with Gingerbread cake

When I arrive home after an hour of traffic

I am met with this face...



I went straight from greeting the dog to washing up and making chocolates for mom's birthday.



Tonight that is all.

Just a sec...

I don't really feel like writing a big old post but I did want to share a few pictures of cakes I did today.

This is a Ginger Bread cake with Vegan Lemon Frosting and Lemon Curd on top. Drool.




And this is just the top of a Lemon Raspberry Poppy Seed that I decorated for a special order.



Ehh Ehh. Blogging twice in one week!? The madness.

February ( I think)

I can't believe that February is almost over. It is February right? Ive been very busy.

Where to start??

After 3 months of living with us, brother in law David FINALLY moved out! But before we could get comfortable and get life back to normal... Hy had to go out of town for work.

We originally thought the trip was for 4 days, but it then turned into the never ending job. 2 weeks later he is finally home!

We are both very glad!



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

In the time that he was gone I spent a lot of time at work! I was able to help out with

CHOCOLATE FANTASY!

at the Jenkins Estate.



Which was GORGEOUS!



It was also really fun! (I found out that not only am I able to say "Try my fudge brownie" 30 times a minute, but that people will eat whatever you shove in their faces!)

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

Speaking of work... I did this cake Saturday



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

Now that Hy is back home (yay!) we have been just sitting at home, watching movies, and catching up! And I even made CHICKEN ROLL UPS! Drool.



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

And finally... my two favorite photos of this week...

Open Letters...

Dear Napster,

I love you, trust me when I say that. I lovingly pay your monthly fee and explore your depths often. But if you do not put Marina and The Diamonds on your play bill soon, I will be forced to cut you off.

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

Dear Pregnant People of the World,

Leave me alone. Stop projecting your dreams on to me.

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

Dear Falafel vendor,

I am pretty positive that what I ate was NOT in fact falafel. Why??

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

Dear brother in law Dave,

You can move out now. Thanks.

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

Dear hands,

I know that I wash you 200 times a day (very literally) but stop being so cracked already. I put lotion and bag balm on you constantly, yet you are still pissed off. PLease forgive me?

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

Dear people who talk about private things publicly,

Go on and shut up already!

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

Simple things I am thankful for....

1. Waking up early and knowing I get to sleep for a few more hours.
2. Hyrum coming home safely from work.
3. My JOB!
4. Our daily ladies lunch followed by a cuppa.
5. My super sexy car.
6. Banana whipped cream cake.
