Insightful Vinyl For The Week
"Don’t be gloomy. Do not dwell on unkind things. Stop seeking out the storms and enjoy more fully the sunlight. Even if you are not happy, put a smile on your face. “Accentuate the positive.” Look a little deeper for the good. Go forward in life with a twinkle in your eye and a smile on your face, with great and strong purpose in your heart. Love life.” ~ Gordon B. Hinckley

KRESTA'S FIRST BIRTHDAY!

 I couldn't decide between a butterfly or this cute little farm scene idea.  I showed Jason a pic of each of them, and his response, "Oh my goodness, look at those cute little chicks. You HAVE to go with this cake." So how could I resist! The barn was simple. I just used a jelly roll pan and one cake mix and cut it to shape the barn. The rest is easy to see. 
The pigs: pink frosting for the snout, m&m eyes and nose, fruit leather for the ears. 
The sheep: white frosting to cover, pink for nose area, m&m for nose and eyes, marshmallows cut in half with gumdrops for ears.
Chicks: White frosting, with tinted yellow coconut, m&ms, triangle shaped gum drop for beak.
Birthday girl getting ready.
Poking the poor little piggie.
 Tasting the frosting for the first time.

 Quickly deciding it's definitely worth the mess!

 
Her first present!


 Logan helping her out with the next one.
She's not really sure how she feels about Silas playing with her new toy.
Daddy giving the Birthday Girl kisses.
 Enjoying her new pony ride.
 Helping mom in the kitchen....
well making a mess is more like it.

What do we have here?
 Oh...another instrument to bang and make noise!
 But who could get made at those cute little chubby cheeks and triangle fingers!
 She can help me in the kitchen any time.
