Aspens Cake

I AM NOT A BAKER! I love to cook but I usually do not bake. Anyhow I did really want to make Aspen a FUN Birthday cake. She LOVES My Little Pony. So I wanted to bake her a Pony cake.

This is what I attempted.... The inside a rainbow cake: green, purple and pink for my little pony of course! The frosting: this AMAZING recipe my mother-in-law had, it tasted just like marshmallow creme, YUM!

I covered the outside in purple fondant and piped some fun stuff on the sides ( I am not an artist).

My favorite part, the my little pony train we found to go on top. As I brought the cake into her, the candles were lit AND the train was going on the top. She loved it and even though I could tell you all the mistakes I made on the cake, Aspen didn't care and boy did it taste good!!

I need to send a big shout out to my husband because He made the fondant. I was so tired by the time I was making it he just took over and good thing because even with all those muscles he has, it still took about an hour to roll it out paper thin. Fondant is some tough stuff!!

Aspens turns 2!

Aspen has just turned 2! Everyone was so sweet and sent her so many cards and gifts. She was in seventh heaven. What I loved most about this birthday was that Aspen new what the presents were and who they were from. That was much different than last year!

We're Pregnant!

We have some exciting news to tell everyone. Aspen is going to be a big sister! I am due July 5 and we are very excited! That is probably the biggest thing going on in our lives right now.

Since it has been so long since I posted I guess I should give an update.

Adrian is working at Enterprise and I am teaching preschool and piano a couple days a week. It is nice that Aspen gets to come with me and I am enjoying all my students!

Aspen is taking tumbling classes and every week I am impressed at how athletic and coordinated she is. She uses the beam, tramp, she loves to run and jump full speed into the foam pit and her favorite is that her Uncle Tyson and her Grandpa are her teachers! (pictures soon to come!)

Adrian is the secretary in the Elders Quorum and I am serving as the Music Leader in the Primary.

We are not too exciting but life is good. :)
