My baby isn't such a baby anymore

Sorry this video is sidways, I didn't consider it when I was recording. Talan is getting so big. His three favorite things to do are:

1. tackle his brother at any opportunity, especially when it is time to wake him up from a nap! He can definitely hold his own with Austin now. SCARY!

2. Stand without holding on (the video is a little short bc he kept trying to grab the camera)

3. Drink from mom's cup, and yell at the dinner table if he doesn't get what we are having!

Home Decor

Well, I found some pots on clearance for $5 and had to decorate right away. I've been waiting two years to figure out what to do with the clock I got a really good deal on (no surprise that I got a good deal). My itch only comes about once every 2 years. Thank goodness or we would really be poor! My friend helped me arrange it. I think it turned out well. I still need to get a green plant where the greenery is and I'll redo the flowers in the fall, but it will do for now.

Cake

Jared's birthday was a month ago, and I never posted a picture. Here are the cake lover's waiting to dig into their "special treat."


This is so hilarious, Lisa told me to post it. So I attempted a trial run making a cake for a friend's shower. It is supposed to be a duck (the real thing would have been yellow). Good thing I did a practice cake. I should definitely be a cake decorator. RIGHT?????? Jared snuck behind my back to take a picture for a funny memory. I am not offended if you laugh hysterically at my attempt!



My second attempt worked out a little bettter (those are supposed to be bubbles and water). Rest assured, I won't be entering any contests in my lifetime. I don't think I'll ever master being good with details! At least the second cake tasted a lot better than the first.
