A little bit of this...a little bit of that.

Um....er....well....we have been up to a whole lot of nothing exciting lately, hence the lack of blog posts. Todd's still very busy with school, and feeling a little burnt out. I try to give him a break when he's home, but with only one car that's the only time I have to do the household shopping. Let's just say we are very much looking forward to September, when he'll be done with massage school and all those trips to Wenatchee! I keep busy trying to track down good deals to save our family money and it's becoming a bit of an obsession. I just don't want to miss any free or dirt cheap stuff! ;) This last weekend I was able to make a cake for the baby shower of a girl in our ward. With some help from one of her coworkers, we came up with a design and she came over and helped with some of the fondant. I think it turned out pretty cute :)

After the cake was done Lauren decided she wanted to play with the leftover fondant....do we have a 3rd generation cake decorator in our midst??? Ever since Garrett's birthday, she asks me daily when we get to make her birthday cake....just one more month!

Garrett finished up wrestling and is anxiously awaiting the start of soccer season. He's enjoying school and is becoming quite the reader. How did my little man grow up so fast?

The week before Valentine's Day we had several kids over at different times so I baked up a batch of sugar cookies and let the kids go to town decorating them. I was glad to see when the cookies were all gone, because I am a huge fan of frosted sugar cookies and couldn't leave them alone!

Mat Muscle

Once a week for a little over a month now, Garrett (along with Daddy) has been participating in our local Mat Muscle wrestling program. The first night he refused to go out on the mat until Todd joined him. The next week we promised ice cream afterward and while he still made Todd join him on the mat, he was a little more excited to get out the door that night. He's really grown to enjoy it, and the ice cream afterward :). Monday night was their last so we made it a family event and I went to snap a few pictures. Todd didn't even go out there that night and Garrett did great. He looked a little nervous when he had to start wrestling with a kid he didn't know, but looked much more relaxed when they changed partners and he got to be with a boy from our ward. All in all I think it was a really good experience for him and he'll probably be doing it again next year. Next up, Spring soccer!
