The Cake

Friends and family know my husband is cake decorator extraordinaire. Actually he's just a wonderful artist that can apply that God -given talent to a cake. Me--not so much. I can bake a cake but it ends there. So when his sister asked for a wedding cake I really wasn't surprised---except that he said "NO!"
That was surprising, but he didn't want to disappoint her. And I understood. But the bride--not so much. Anyhow, his NO became my project. Thankfully, she took the pressure off by asking for just a sweet little cake to cut, not to serve necessarily but to have for the sake of tradition.

One thing led to another...

I broke two sifters!

The best icing...and help available on-line!

Four stacked tiers of lemon curd filled white wedding cake with hand painted chocolate shells.

And plenty of mistakes!

I'm Six!!

My mother worried herself sick,

wondering what I'd be able to say and

if I'd be able to play...

Now I am six and I play

and talk all day!

Happy Birthday, AJ!

My Dad always decorates my cake.

My favorite thing about Daddy is.....

he put Angry Birds on the computer!

I think....when I grow up I

want to be a "fix the heart doctor."

A new backpack...

I'm going to co-op this year at Holy Trinity.

I'm so excited!

I love this racetrack.

I like to watch the cars go around and around.

Yep, that's still a favorite!

I'm good at building things. I can follow directions now.

I still need some help but

can do a lot of it on my own.

I love legos too. I'm very creative.

I love dinosaurs...and my sisters. Oh, and my doctor thinks it's

cool that we all sit in the  'W' formation. See Dr, it's in our blood!

"I'm gotta put this on."

"right now." I'm not very patient yet.

I like to have my way. Right now. When I'm stuck, I'm stuck!

I can get myself dressed by myself though.

I'm still working on buttons, but I try.

I don't like underwear very much.

"Too itchy..."

And I am learning to write. I like to use a pencil "grabber" that

corrects my finger positioning but this year I'm willing to try without it.

I can color inside the lines. I can finally use a pair of scissors, and I like cutting paper.

I know my alphabet, the sounds the letters make, and can put

words together to form sentences.

My mom and sisters think I can read and just pretend not to..hmm..

I'm working on it.

Shapes and Colors are a snap. I don't like numbers very much.

I get bored counting and usually mix some of them up.

But I do know the numbers in print!

I can tell you place value..tens, hundreds and thousands.

I'm doing great! I still have movement episodes

and my brain still gets stuck, but I'm headed in the right direction.

Praise the Lord!
