October 29 - Pumpkin Carving

Here we are during our carving experience -- three big pumpkins, three kids, one mommy (thank goodness for one grandma too!!) It was fun :-)

BobCat Pin

When the boys receive their bobcat badge, they also get a pin. The Pack Leader told the boys that they had to wear it upside down until they completed three good deeds, in keeping with the Law of the Pack. Well, Mr Eager Beaver decided to wrap them up before bedtime!!! He was very helpful. (Mommy talked to him about how cubscouts should *always* do good deeds!)

Here he is displaying his recently turned right side up Bobcat pin. Congrats Jacob!

BobCat Badge

Tonight Jacob received his BobCat badge at the Pack meeting for CubScouts. In order to receive it, he had to memorize the CubScout Promise, Law of the Pack, Sign, and Salute. I am very proud of him! (and he's pretty proud of himself too!)


Here he's walking up to the stage to get his badge and crossing the "bridge" that all the boys walk across. I'm not sure what it signifys, but it was neat.

Jacob receives his badge from his Den Leader.

Pauses for a moment to examine it.

Halloween Party at YMCA

Here are the kids in this years cosstumes --- ever try to take a pic of 3 kids and get them to look the same place?? yeah, you know what I mean!! Jacob is a zookeeper, James is an engineer on Thomas, and Suzanne is a Pink Cupcake Lady.

Welcome Baby - Mexican Theme

Mexican Theme Baby Cake

Half Sheet cake covered in buttercream with a MMF baby. Blanket and sombrero were painted. Cactus were done with a 21 shell and tip 2 pullout needles.

Pics of the kids (2 of 3)

It's been a while since I posted any pics of the kids -- not cause I've not taken them just cause I haven't posted them! Here are some shots from last week. -- Let you think Suzanne is always serious, I thought I'd include a happy face too!
Here's Mr. James looking innocent :-) Hard to believe he's 3!

Jacob was at school during this photo opportunity. I'll have to make sure I get him some time in front of the lens soon!

Anniversary Cake

Here's an anniversary cake I completed for a friends In-Laws. Fondant calla Lilys. I tried a new icing smoothing technique and am very pleased with it. This is a buttercream cake, not fondant!

Enjoy.

My Cake Journey

I have begun a journey that I suspect will take alot of turns as the years go on. I've learned new skills and made new friends through my cake courses and created some beautiful things which I'd like to share with you!

Enjoy
