Baseball season has officially started here. Johnny passed this season but Gavin is still playing:

and Sawyer had fun watching…

Johnny wouldn’t let me take his pic. When he does- most look like this.
The joys of having an 11 year old…

Wordless Wednesday! Soccer Ball Cake!

Last weekend we had the end of year soccer party for Johnny and his team. They are big into soccer and when the outdoor field closes in the fall they play three more sessions of indoor soccer. They just finished their final session and now will be done with it until the end of July when practice starts again on the big field.

Johnny really wanted me to make him a cake. I was worried I was biting off more then I could chew but it came together rather easily.

First I baked two cakes. One sheet cake and one soccer ball cake pan.

I cut the soccer ball so the bottom would lie flat and then spread a layer of frosting on it to use it like glue. It doesn’t need to be a lot or be even it just needs to hold it in place.

Of course I had a cute little side kick sitting next to me while I worked on it…

Next I lined the black and filled in the areas needed. I messed up here and was all worried that you could tell I did the wrong sections.

But in the end it didn’t matter. This happens every time. You can’t judge a cake you’re frosting until you’re done because it won’t look right until then. I thought it came out great. Next I did a quick base layer with the green. This made sure I had to blank spots.

This made it easier to lay the grass. I did it fast and not with great technique but it worked and I got in the shower on top. Which says a lot lol. I thought it looked great in the end. Johnny was so happy and I was a happy mama to be able to make it for him

{Wordless Wednesday} Only Took 4 Years…

As many of you know our house burnt down January of 2007. In January of 2008 we moved back in but still had a lot of projects left to finish.

Over the weekend we finally had our deck built.
{and yes, I realize my husband still needs to take down the xmas lights, lol}

We still need to stain it (and the front door) but we are so happy that it’s done.

We even bought these lights for the walkway and capped the stair posts with LED lights.

{Wordless Wednesday} Sawyer’s Nursery – Finally!

Originally I planned on doing this big reveal and going through the room in detail and giving credit to some of the sponsors of my favorite products. Then the day before I did it I went into labor and now that Sawyer is here time is just slipping away. I wanted to make sure to share as promised so here is his room. These were taken 2 days before he was born and looks the same for the most part just with more clothing.

Here is the view when you walk into his room. It’s technically the master bathroom to our bedroom that we never finished. It works though. So we went with it and for now it lets our kids all have their own room. Of course in a year or so we’ll have to come up with a plan.

For right now we’re not using his crib as I want him right beside my bed. I do place him in here after I change his diaper and need to wash my hands. He loves his mobile and as long as the music is going I’m able to get stuff done.

And, yes, I know bumpers are frowned upon but it’s my choice to have one and really don’t want the comments on it. Thanks.

When you look to the left this is one side of his room. The first closet has all his clothes and below is all the products I’ve either reviewed, won, or bought that we’ll need in the first 12 months. The back closet is everything 12+ months. It also houses all our luggage and gift wrapping supplies, and some baby products I don’t plan on using.

Here’s another angle. I made it more the playroom side. I plan on putting a gate over the second closet entrance and laying down a small play rug or foam puzzle pieces.

Here is the other side of the room. This is the side I’m always in. It’s where the majority of the furniture is and where I keep the rest of his “supplies”.

Closer.

I love the wall stickies. Since it will be our master bathroom we don’t want to invest on paint or flooring. These (IMO) really took the room to the next level and pull it all together!
