The Land of Disney!



Adam and his family have always been huge Disney fans, and yet we have never seemed to make it there with our own family. In fact, since having kids, we haven't ventured out on a single family vacation -until now! This November we walked into the park after a long drive, a 24-hr flu bug for the Carter man, two nights of no sleep because both kids got the croop, and over an hour in guest services because of mix-ups with our tickets, and we had a blast!


  Adam and his family have always been huge Disney fans, and yet we have never seemed to make it there with our own family. In fact, since having kids, we haven't ventured out on a single family vacation -until now! This November we walked into the park after a long drive, a 24-hr flu bug for the Carter man, two nights of no sleep because both kids got the croop, and over an hour in guest services because of mix-ups with our tickets, and we had a blast!





   We were lucky enough to have one day in Disneyland with Adams parents and have them be a part of Rachel and Carters first experience in the park. I never thought the highlight of my trip to Disneyland wouldn't be the rides, but would be meeting the characters! From Aurora to Cinderella or Mater to Tinkerbell, we had an awesome trip!


 I couldn't believe how much Rachel lite up when she saw and got to talk to the princesses, she would run to meet each of them and they were all so amazing with her.It took a bit of work to get her two favorite princesses Belle and Ariel, but with three days in the park we were up to the challenge. Carter felt the need to share his food with almost every one of them, and often is doing so in the pictures.




Carters favorite parts were seeing all of the mickey mouses on people shirts and hats and would get so excited each time he saw one. He also loved the Buzz Lightyear ride and was adorable to watch in the Tiki Room, especially with his love for birds he just stared and kept saying "Woah!"



Cars Land was quite a treat! They did an amazing job at making it look just like Radiator Springs. Carter has been absolutely obsessed with Mater and Lightning McQueen, and we were looking forward to how Carter would react when he saw them life size! Turns out, he likes the toy size version a lot better!


   He also loved the day we went to the beach and fed one seagull a Cheeto, which lead to a whole flock swarming around us until every crumb was gone from the bag. He never really made it to the water, but would run away everytime it got close to him and he just kept saying he wanted more birds. Rachel on the other hand was a total fish, and loved jumping over and into the waves with Adam.

A New Hobby- let them eat CAKE!

Image
I am to the point of being a stay at home mom where I start to wonder if at the end of the day I have accomplished anything! Hence the need to find a new hobby where I can actually see the fruits of my labor, or in this case, the cake of my labor. This was a great month to start this new goal especially where we had three big birthdays in my family as well as my brothers fiancée's bridal shower for which I was partially in charge. Some are definitely better than others, and they are surely all ammature work, but I can't believe how much fun I have had making them, and even cutting it up and eating it afterwards! So, with that great intro, here they are! Rachel Belles 3rd Birthday Tinkerbell Cake Carter Mans 1st Birthday  Adam's Pool Party cake       complete with Jello swimming pool (harder than it looks!) Robert and Molly's bridal shower cake               ...

A few new cakes

Image
Still very amateur, but this is a phone book cake I made for my brother to ask a girl to a dance. He left clues in the book as to which page to turn to to decode both his first and last name. Cute, but I had no idea how hard it would be to frost a smooth layer of frosting over a saran wrapped book!  Here is my version of a Tinkerbell waterfall cake I made for my niece. I even wrapped the waterfall around to the back and had Vidia there too. To make the water look a little shinny I added some blue food coloring to some light corn syrup and spread it all over the water. I was pretty hay with how it turned out, especially since I am making this up as I go!  For my nephews birthday, all he said he wanted was a cake that had toys on it. I finally got a little more from him when he said he would like a Cars cake with Mater coming out of the cake, so here it is!
