GI-GI'S CAT! GI-GI'S CAT! PEESE? CAKE! CAKE! PEESE?

Caleb and I have been busy around here! I got my first real cake order. My good friend Stephanie told her sister about me and I got to make her little boy's 4th birthday cake! I had a blast and a nightmare of a time! Nightmare only because I am pregnant - high emotions and many dreams. I had a few nightmares about how the cake turned out.

Overall, I had a great time and hope that it's Carson's cake of his dreams. I even dyed the yum cream cheese frosting filling bright blue to match the cake. That should be fun to eat! The buildings are dark chocolate cupcakes, cut into building shapes. They were a beast to frost, but I took my time and Blake helped me by watching Caleb. Plus it helped that Caleb took a 3 hour nap today!

We had one little mishap with Caleb sticking his finger in the cake, which resulted in a pregnancy meltdown, but turned out alright in the end. He just couldn't stop saying, "Cake! Peese!?"

Another thing Caleb begs for is to see "Gi-gi's Cat!" It's the huge Halloween on her front porch that both scares and intrigues Caleb at the same time. It's head moves side to side. He thinks about it constantly and wants to go see it. Plus it's fun to play with Gi-gi.

I LOVE OCTOBER IN TN!!!!!

This is a video of Caleb, who is still only 1 1/2, catching and throwing a football. What a crack up!

Caleb just started eating cereal and milk. His favorite is Kix. So cute!

Caleb found this picture of me and Nathalie, brought it to Blake and said, "Mommy" then made this face. :) That's what face I'm making in the picture. So we did it together!

Caleb absolutely LOVES pumpkins!

Pumpkins with face stickers are fun too!

Bellies and Punkins

Our good friends Chris and Scarlet, or as Caleb calls them, "Kiss and Karlet," (he adores them) are pregnant at the same time as us! They are having their first, and Scarlet is just 2 weeks ahead of me. We have a great time discussing our pregoness.

We went on a fun date tonight with them to Corky's Barbecue and Cold Stone, then home for some games. We ate a lot so the boys decided to take belly pictures too. I love how Blake is holding his little bloated belly up like a pregnant lady. He is so funny.

Also, we had another Young Men's sleepover at our house this week during fall break. It is so fun having these boys over. This time only 4 were able to come, so they took charge of the master bedroom with video games and stinky socks. Gotta love it. This is how we found them in the morning.

Cake Baking and Partying

I got to make a bridal shower cake for my friend Myriam. I had a blast doing a square cake! Oh so fun. Go here (or to the link to the left, "MY CAKE BLOG!") to see more of my cakes lately!

Here I am in all my roundness with the lovely bride herself. And we've been attending lots of parties and showers lately. Well I guess I have been attending showers. I love these events. Here are Caleb and Blake after last week's wedding that I made a cake for. Aren't they handsome boys???

My 2nd Wedding Cake Experience!

So I got to do another wedding cake this week. No fondant, she only wanted buttercream. Of course it took a bunch of assistance from Blake and my mom to get the freakin' huge thing finished and to the building. I swear the bottom tier weighs probably 30 pounds alone.

This cake is a little bigger than the last cake, because the bottom tier is 2 inches wider. After lots of prayer and hard work, it turned out lovely and I was sooooooooooo excited! My cake blog can be found in my blog links to the left, below the tickers.

It's official....

... Caleb could fit in with Blake's high school friends...

Caleb has made a new friend. Her name is Mayci, and she's downright adorable. Plus we like her parents, Nicole and Tim. :) Tonight, they all came over for dinner, and Caleb went in to hear his favorite song, the Black Eyed Peas song from the post before this, and he yelled from the other room, "Mayci!!! C'mon!!!" It was sooo cute. First time he's ever done that. He was SO excited she was there! Mayci is about 6 months younger, but very tough and athletic and holds up well to Caleb!

Caleb's Favorite Song

This is one hilarious boy!!!

Six Months Along Today!

Today is exactly 3 months until my due date, January 4th. Yay we are 6 months and counting - 27 weeks along!

I LOVE OCTOBER IN TENNESSEE!!!!

Tennessee has GORGEOUS fall weather. We got lots of rain in September, and then when the sun decided to come out, it felt crisp and 65 to 75 degrees outside, clear cloudless sky. Absolutely beautiful. The nights are not too cold either, and we have had some fun playing outside.
This has never ever ever happened before so I had to take a picture. What a cutie.

Chuck-E-Cheese with Gi-Gi

Tonight after General Conference, Caleb and I went to Chuck-E-Cheese with Gi-gi (my mom). We had a blast and ate lots of pizza. It was awesome!
