Here's an update (including pictures) of what I have been up to lately!!

Zion, Lincoln and I went to Union City to pick up uniforms for the Lima Knights Volleyball team a couple weeks ago. Linc got to meet my Aunt Deb....Uncle Jim....and cousin Melinda... Plus. we watched the first half of Logan and Grant's (My 2nd cousin's) football game. Tyler(my other 2nd cousin) and Steve(their dad, my cousin) were both coaches of some sort!! =)

Lincoln loved the cheerleaders.....He didn't like the loud horn that they blew whenever they scored a touchdown....

(Poor baby)

Here I am coaching the volley ball team with Jess....

Some of our fans... ;)

I have been donating a cake for each home game for a fundraiser... here's the first one!! (I don't know why it's sideways... I thought for sure that I had fixed it on the other program... oh well, you get the idea...) =)Here's the cake from the second game... I actually got a piece of this one (Dana and Sarah won it and shared!!!!) it was pretty good. Chocolate with chocolate icing... yum!!! =)

Lincoln has been working on crawling quite a bit.... he's getting REALLY close....he kind of does a squat and crawl thing right now... but he definitely gets where he wants to go!!! =)

My happy little guy is getting 3 teeth in (all on the top) and he's been a real trooper!! That's about everything... I'll try to update again soon!! Things have been a little busy 'round here lately, though!!! =)

Graduation Cake!!

This is the latest one of my cakes... I made it at class today! I have now graduated from course one and am signed up for course 2!!! It's so fun!!!

Anyone need a cake??? =P

Ace...er... Apprentice of Cakes!!!

This is me repairing my cake after learning the valuable lesson... "Don't open it while in the car!!!" It looked alot better BEFORE the smashing it with the lid in the car thing... Oh well.... live and learn. =)
Week 3 of class... Cake #2!! I was very unprepared for this class because I was at my first day of volleyball practice... so I just practiced the techniques a little bit at class and actually decorated my cake at home... in like 10 minutes just so I could say I had done it. It doesn't look too terrible... considering. =) (I was supposed to use more colors... but it had been a very, VERY long day and I was too tired to mix more icing colors.... it was just for practice and the family ate it!!!)

Check out my newest link to see some of the most adorable little barrettes and other hair accessories.... JJoy Originals... handmade in Phoenix, Arizona!!! They are sooooo cute...

Well, we just got home from camping and I am tired!! We had a wonderful time despite the rain and the fact that Linc is suffering with his first cold/ ear infection! Pictures to come later...

We said "so long" to Jariah, Becca, Brandon and Ben tonight... that was depressing. Brandon cried.... I'm not sure if it was cause he's leaving in the morning or cause he didn't want to go to bed tonight... either way... it was sad! We are really going to miss them, fingers crossed that it will only last as long as last time. (Not really counting on that though since Becca's preggers... but last time I was, so who knows!!! lol)

We are going camping on Wednesday and Thursday with the whole family... and I am really excited about it... (I love camping)but at the same time it's gonna be bittersweet. Jariah and Becca are leaving straight from the campground to go to Canada. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that our separation will be of short duration much like the last time we were separated (when they moved back to Ohio and we stayed in AZ) and only last 6 weeks! Unfortunately.... I don't know how that would happen. They do keep leaving us... could it be that they are sick of us?? Maybe I should take the hint?! I always try to be a good friend/ sister/ sister-in-law.... but it does make a girl wonder!!

Come to think of it.... last time I went camping... the day we were done was also my Grandma's funeral. Coincidence?? I don't know... camping might not be my thing after all...
