The cake

I was totally nervous to pipe this cake today--but with the help from Cassie over the phone, I didnt do too bad!!!
Usually Cassie is our cake girl but she is preggers and this little baby hates cake LOL so I was on my own!! Not to bad!! I think her and I can open up a bakery as soon as the funds come in hahah

Brooklyn loved the cake too!! It was vanilla with strawberry filling and buttercreme frosting! YUM!!!

We love parties!!

We celebrated Brooklyn's 6th birthday today--it was a success!!! She is so happy her friends were here!!
I am truly thankful I have found friends who are now apart of our lives!!! Friends are the best and I think all of mine are the bestest (all of my old, new and future friends)!!!

Meet Pissy

So you might be wondering how this tiny frog got it's name...

Ian brought in this frog and I go "oh looks like a piss frog" (we called them this growing up cause they piss on you when you catch them)

So Aydan exclaims "let's name it Pissy"

(Seriously)

31 getaway!!

I Love that once a year I have a planned mini vacay!!!  We had amazing speakers (including Leigh Ann Touhey from the Blindside) learned lots of good info, and knew GOD was there with us!!!

Hope

31 is not all about selling bags, it is based off of "Proverbs 31", they have a big organization call Thirtyone Gives (which every time you round up--it goes to this organization)
So while we were there some of us got to stuff bags for women with "world vision"
First they get these awesome pink cosmetic kits-we added shampoo, soap, toothbrush and things like that--then we wrote little personal notes for each bag, for these women who will recieve them---THIS WAS MY AH-HA (total GOD moment) I turned around and asked the head 31 lady of it gives--How do I get involved-she took me to the main world vision guy and I gave him all my info to get involved!!
Single moms have always had a HUGE place in my heart and this is where I wanna help!!! So stayed tuned with all of that!!

Thirty one Gives is also partners with "Ronald McDonald House" the one in Denver is in Great need and I will also be doing what I can to get there and see what I can do there!!!
