Earth and Cake

On Earth Day we celebrated Preslie's 6-month anniversary. The days leading up and following were very difficult. It's hard to believe that when our lives once felt like they had stopped, they are slowly moving forward again. To celebrate our baby "P" we went out to dinner and then went and saw the movie "Earth" we absolutly loved it. There is just something about nature and animals that is so comforting. I have no visited Preslie's tomb in a few months and I feel guilty for not doing so. I find that I get even more sad when I am up there, because I don't want to leave. I know that I need to go up there sometime soon.

Last week a woman in our ward asked if I would make her daughter's birthday cake. Of course I was up for the challenge. Her daughter wanted a Cherry Chip Ladybug cake. I premade the cakes and fondant the night before, and it only took me 6 hours to design and put it all together. This is my first attempt at using fondant, and although there are a few noticable flaws it turned out darling.






Chris is in "finals mode", and I am getting ready to kick it into my finals mode as well. I am so ready for school to be over and done with, the last couple of weeks have just been dragging! Maybe it's not the weeks, but me that is dragging. We are looking forward to a great summer out here, with some much needed vacations.
