The Girls

Thanksgiving 2011

We are so thankful for our wonderful family.

We have been blessed with 3 great children.

It is a honor and a privilege to be their parents.

We hope that everyone had a great Thanksgiving!

Cake

A few weeks ago I made a 4 tier wedding

cake for a girl at the church.

This was by far the largest cake I had ever made

 You will have to pardon what I look

like. I didn't wear makeup for days and wore 

a hat.

 Fondant

 Icing and Powered Sugar was every where!

The girls did some fondant work.

 2 tiers down, 2 to go

 Making fondant roses by hand

 Going up.

This was a little nerve racking.

I had never had to put so many supports in a cake.

Thanks to Jason for the help!

 Finally decorating

 All together

 Adding the finishing touches

 Complete

3 days of hard work finally finished.

I learned a lot and enjoyed it for the most part.

With one oven, 3 kids, 2 homeschooled kids at

times it was a bit challenging!

Tennessee-Dollywood

 While in Tennessee spending family time

with Grandmama and Pop which we had not seen 

since the summer we spent a day at Dollywood!

 The girls posing with Grandmama in front

of the beautiful pumpkin tree!

 Mackenzie and Pop on their first ride.

 Kaitlann and Grandmama on their first ride,

the high flying swings!

 Grandmama being goofy!

having a few goldfish.

 Kaitlann making a silly face.

 Knox squeezing a juice box on Daddy's head!

 Knox absolutely loved sliding.

We have got to get him a swing set!

We had a great time at Dollywood! 

And an even better time spending the weekend

with grandparents!
