You Can Do It Too!!

A few years ago I bought this guitar cake pan to make husband this cake for his 22nd birthday! It turned out to be a wise investment...

I was also able to make Creighton's puppy dog cake using it!

Step 1: Make 2 guitar cakes. These ones are red velvet with a cream cheese filling.
Step 2: From one cake, remove the neck of the guitar, slide the top part back (whatever it's called) and carve an angle into it.

Step 3: Add the paws. They are Hostess Snowballs.

Step 4: Frost your puppy whatever color you want to!

Step 5: Using a "grass" tip, create hair for the dog. This does not take any skill-dog hair is messy and matted anyway. The messier-the more life-like!

Step 6: Give your puppy eyes, a nose (milk-dud), and tongue (air-head, not pictured). And don't forget his doggie house and a few bones to snack on! (Oh yeah, the ears Cason shaped from paper and I frosted...NOT edible)

So glad the puppy cake turned out... I am looking forward to seeing what else I am able to turn a guitar into!

Spaghetti Monster

Creighton LOVES spaghetti.

Daddy LOVES to clean him up!

A New View

Creighton's mommy and daddy waited far too long to get him his big boy car seat.

He loves looking forward and enjoys taking in all of the "new" sights. They look different this way! Creighton thinks just about everything is fun. Hooray for big boy car seats!

We Love Weddings

We love weddings. Especially when it is this adorable couple...

Tom and Tasha were sealed Friday in the Salt Lake City temple and Cason and I were thrilled that we could be a part of the happy day.

Creighton loves his Uncle Tom, but he really loves his Aunt Tasha.

After the 3rd Chambers' winter wedding Cason's mom told her youngest son, and now the only unmarried Chambers (he's 11)... "No winter wedding for you buddy!" You wouldn't believe how cold it was looking at these two, they were so happy!

Creighton was such a good boy despite the many upsets in his routine.

He was excited to party all night long at the reception and stay up way past his bedtime.

We love you Tom and Tasha!

24 Years Young

The birthday wreath is hanging on the front door... so that can only mean one thing... A party! Today we celebrated Cason's birthday. Boy do we have fun around here on birthdays.

Cason couldn't get Sunday, his actual birthday off of work, but he did come home a little bit early Saturday night and we went out for chinese food. Creighton of course did not disappoint us and as usual, embarrassed his dad by leaving a huge mess under his high chair. Then we went to Perkins and brought a pie home to eat while we watched Disney's Heavyweights. It wasn't as great as I had remembered from 15 years ago... Playtime before bedtime consisted of family pictures in the bathroom! Creighton says it's the most fun room in the house and is always trying to find an excuse to be in there!
Then this morning Cason got up nice and early for Bishopric meeting-but he took bagels and cream cheese so everyone else could help celebrate the big 24. For lunch, by request, shredded beef burritos. Cason is so predictable. Gift opening: I was selfish and got Cason some guitar stuff for birthday and Valentine's Day. I say selfish, because I will be happy to listen to him play! Off to work... (Creighton and I sat home BORED) Then when he came home, leftover burritos and for dessert... root beer floats! My husband isn't much for desserts, like cake.

We are happy to help our daddy celebrate his birthday however he wants to! We love him!

Neighborhood Watch

Creighton likes to watch and study our neighborhood. He is always on the lookout for anything suspicious. So watch out... don't come cause trouble in our neck of the woods-he will catch you!
