The Decorated Wedding Cake

This summer I was able to assemble and decorate Brandon & Janet's wedding cake! It was a lot of work but also a lot of fun and I learned so many things in the process of it all. Steven helped me in tons of different ways and babysat Juliette for like 2 1/2 days straight....he was pretty happy when I finished. :)

It was a 3-tiered cake and one bride and groom cake. It was frosted with all butter-cream and had different fillings in the middle of each of the layers.

Where's Daddy?

Friends Visit and Costume Cuteness

Sometimes when I ACTUALLY get ready for the day I like to take a picture so that Juliette realizes when she gets older that I wasn't always a bum. :)

Our friends came into town a couple weekends ago and they came over for a visit as they were passing through here! So we visited for a while and let Archer and Juliette meet for the first time (We secretly hope they'll get married once they're old enough) and then we went out for some ice cream.

Archer and Juliette's first kiss! :)

So my cousin gave this Halloween costume to me for Juliette's baby shower before she was even born so the other day I found it and wondered if it was going to fit her for Halloween this month....and how CUTE is this little kitty!? Oh man! When I put it on her- I couldn't stop laughing because she just looked so adorable!

Then I put her in front of the mirror and she started giggling when she saw herself in it! Oh man...I love having this little girl!

Teeth and Messes

Somehow Juliette always finds the garbage! I don't know what her interest is in it but she sure does love it. Usually she takes the red tie from the garbage bag and tries to eat it....like father; like daughter! :) J/k

So I stuck her in her walker while I was in the shower and I came out to this mess! It's kind of her official 1st mess (besides her toys)....so I had to take a picture!

She has 3 teeth now! One up on top and two on the bottom...so I had to buy her a toothbrush! And she actually is good at brushing her 3 teeth! :) So cute!

If you look closely you can see the bottom two teeth!

This is just a random pic and she looks so serious...but isn't she cute? :)

Pure Goodness

So...you may have noticed that Juliette has gained a few pounds...She has...She weighs 17 lbs. 4 oz. these days! :) Oh man she's a cutie!

She was getting a bath in the sink and obviously needed a sip of water :)

We had lunch with Steven in the apple orchards at the school. It was just last year when I first started blogging, pregnant with her, Steven and I rode our bikes to the school and picked apples in the orchard for a date. It was a blast! Weird that she's enjoying the same orchards with us now.

We came home and picked some things in our garden that we planted this year in our back yard and this was one of the bigger carrots I picked.

And we picked two zucchinis this big!! I've made 4 loaves of zucchini bread with this one and have grated 11 cups (of this same zucchini) of zucchini AND I still have 1/4 of it left over!! It was HUGE!! And..I still have another one left! Lets just say our first garden has been a success! We also came back to tons of cherry tomatoes and like 4 big tomatoes growing! They're pretty tasty! We're thankful to the Roberts and the Wilsons for watering our garden for us while we were gone!

Grandmas, Grandpas & Cousins

We spent the 7 week break with my parent's and Steven's and enjoyed being able to spend time with them. Juliette was waiting for Vivienne to finish her bath. They are too cute together!


Liv is always asking to hold Juliette. It's super cute!
