Rainbow cake and rainbow balloon arch, I made myself.... I must add. It was for Felicity's 4th birthday! We sure had fun!!

So after Christmas, I had cleaned and put away all the decorations and I left the top of my piano and my mantel (which is behind the piano) bare. They were bare for over 2 months, I finally decided at the beginning of March that I needed to do something so I hunted Pinterest and a few blogs for ideas on what I could do and this is what I came up with. It sure made me feel like I could accomplish something. My sister even said that I was channeling my in Martha Stewart! Ha! so funny. I just wanted to post it here.

 I know this is a little late but better late than never. His first birthday was great. He loves spaghetti and you can tell from the pictures that he loved every minute of his birthday supper. Double fisting it!

I just had the most horrible night that I can remember in a long time. The children were heinous, is an understatement. Daniel was off at Young Men's and I ended up eating a whole Cadbury chocolate bar. Now the day was bad and I ended it by cheating on my diet. I am frustrated with my lack of commitment and am disappointed at my inability to be in control of my choices. The one person I normally vent my everything to is very busy in her own life and I am so happy for her. Just needed to get this off my chest.

So once again I'm recording random funnies. I've got two for you today, and in fact they were from the same day. I was making lunch on sunday the 22 of April, I was using some fresh sliced mushrooms that I had bought at the store and Aurora ate some. Well she had a bit of a reaction to them and got a bit of a swelled lip. She was bemoaned about the fact and kept saying that she looked like an Elephant Seal. I didn't know what that was so I had to look it up. Let me show you in case you don't know what they look like. But this is what she really looked like. She was being so funny about it that she was wearing the bandana to hide it. What a funny girl. She's trying to be "not impressed" So the second thing that happened was I was getting Gage's birthday cake ready for his first birthday, I'll post more about that later. But Aurora was reading the colors of icing I was using and instead of reading 'Moss Green' she read it as ...

After the great snowfall of March we rolled right into April. Easter came and went and we had just as much fun this year as we have every year. We colored eggs, put up our few decorations and attended General Conference. I don't have any pictures to record Felicity's 3rd birthday, at the end of March. We did video rather than stills. Maybe one day I'll get savvy and figure out how to put video on here. Anyways, here is easter in a nut shell.
