Celebrating

We had a little party for her on Saturday too. We had some friends over for pizza, cake, and ice cream. while we were getting ready for them to come over- we were having some fun...


I just don't know who looks better?

OR

So I did not have too much time do to school projects to make a supper cute cake for a Hailey but still had time to make her what she wanted-asked for- a fun fetti Dalmatian puppy cake. So that was fun. 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY 2 HAILEY

So Hailey is officially 2 as of Friday. It was so fun. We decorated the house so when she woke up it would be all pink! We had a good normal day. Hailey was loving the balloons!

It was so fun to spend her birthday with her Grandparents. She had so much fun with the. Grandma made some cupcakes and Hailey loved having us sing to her and to blowing the candles out!

Pretty sure this was her favorite gift-the sunglasses. She also got some books and a great busy bag and a swimming pool! We plan on using that one a lot this summer!

Oh Sunshine!

Oh how I have missed the sun.Welcome Welcome. I only had one class today and was not feeling the best (luckily the worst pregnant days far--which really is not that bad at all compared to some) and I knew that if we stayed inside movies would be going and that just not was not an option to me. So we headed out side around 2. Hailey loved it and so did I! It was so fun to see everyone(almost) outside. We stayed out side for 3hours just playing. It was so nice and peaceful. And I can still feel the sun on my face. I never would have thought that i would get my first sunburn today. It is a slight pink but it just feels good to know that i got some sun. Which means we need to be careful  so Hailey does not get sunburned. 

 

SUNSHINE!!!

Daddy-Daughter time

Last Sunday we all had so much fun playing with each other. Hailey asked Jason to put on her tutu and butterfly wings. I just had to get a picture of him in it. unfortunately that was as far as it could go.

Shopping

We were playing in Toy's R us and just looking around and we both turned around and Hailey had this helmet already figured out and thought it was so cool. So we stayed around and played in this section for a while. It was so cute---maybe she'll play softball...I think it is so fun to play the guessing game of what she is going to do as she grows up.

Her thinking it is golf-

Jason trying to show her how a baseball bat should be held and how to hit the ball.

Sorry- no luck this time---THIS is the way to hold it...lol

Ducks

Just last week on that really nice warm day Hailey and I went for our first walk of the year. It was so great to get out and feel the sun. We walked to the nature park to feed the ducks. She really enjoyed seeing them. i have a feeling we will be going a lot this summer ( and we will really enjoy every minute). These ducks those are getting more and more comfortable humans. They get just a little to close and a couple(the geese) are a bit nippy. So We have to kind of shoo them away from us while we are feeding them, but that it what is kind of fun is that they will get so close.

Once we were out of crackers another car pulled up right in time and they all started running over there. The mom was not even able to get he child out before they were over there ready for more. Crazy...

Right after a man and his dog walked by Hailey started running after the dog say "here puppy" it was so cute. The old man was nice enough to see that and stop the dog and let Hailey pet it. She really enjoyed that. Any time she sees a dog now even from the car she wants to go and pet them. She is not fully comfortable around them yet but she sure likes them- Can't wait, only two more years and we can get our own dog!!!

Hailey was soaked by the time she was ready to get back in the stroller. When we got home i was able to pour water out of her boots.

And then it took like 4 days for them to completly dry off so she could wear them again.

Weather

I just wanted to  complain. I wish Rexburg could decide if it was winter or Spring!

Cause this is sure what is seems like. We can all be out playing and enjoying a semi warm day with the snow melting all around us and only having to wear a light jacket. And then it snows all the next day...

Don't forget day light savings tomorrow!

Aspic

So just today in class we worked with aspic. It is a jello giggler but it the max. Gelatin can hold a 7(water)parts to 1(gelatin)part ration. We were working with an 8-1 ratio. and because it was not flavored they were saying it smelled really bad. Luckily i had a stuffy nose so i could not smell it, but it is a lot of fun to work with. Really the only reason you would work with this is for center pieces. You could flavor it, but as we described it- it has the texture of cartilage. So really not something you would want to eat.

So this is a Calli Lilly, It was so fun to work with the colors. I want to do another one before the semester is out. I want to do one on a mirror. They look so amazing. but what is fun and i hope my classmate does not mind but you can peal these of the plates and put them somewhere. So he did the transformer logo and peeled it off and put it up on our window in the class room. crazy. it got a little dis-formed, but you get the idea

 

Class

So i have been having so much fun in my Advanced Presentation class. I made a cake this weekend. I just love playing with fondant. I could totally tell that it has been a long long time since i have used it but it sure is fun. And with the forms that i got for Christmas It makes things so easy and fun- no mess of making a cake. Just decorate.  So It was supper easy and fun. I would love to do this more often.This picture is with the columns. which are supper cool because you can fill them in with what ever you want.

This one is just the simple three layer with out the pillars- another reason why using forms are so much cooler-because you can rebuild-take apart as much as you want.  Great!
