Biznis of Cake

3rd Birthday

This girl loves Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, and I think it turned out so cute.

See what I have to work with? I really love my job.

(kidding, kate)

Melanie's Baby Shower cake.

I flew solo on this one since our schedules didn't mesh.

My mother-in-law's birthday cake.

Yes, it was as good as it looks.

I've been wanting to try some old school piping scroll work for a while and this gave me the perfect excuse. I love the way it turned out.

My cousin's most recent blog entry. I totally get it.

Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner

This looks like so much fun and Jeremy really wants to win, so check it out. If we aren't lucky enough to win but you are I will totally come and visit you in the Emerald City (as long as you take me to lunch). Deal?

It's ALWAYS about perspective, isn't it?

A few months back I got a frantic call 2 hours before church asking if I would fill in because they really, really, really needed someone to play for Sacrament meeting. Fortunately for me I don't play the organ so I had to decline. Unfortunately for me Kim was desperate enough that she said the piano would be fine.

This past Sunday the ward officially sustained me as a Ward Organist. Say what? {Yeah, I'm right there with ya.} So really, the only thing that has changed since that fateful Sunday last year is that now I suppose I can that say that I play the organ.

How many mistakes do you think they'll let me have before they officially rescind their offer? My guess is waaaay too many.

So Says I: Brynners Edition

As I'm loading the washer:

"Don't forget my nasty underwear!"

With big eyes as she hears daddy's voice in church:

"Whoa, that sounds just like our dad!"

Driving down the road:

"Mom when I get the age you are now I'm gonna drive you somewhere sooo special!"

As we are taking the sacrament:

"Why don't they ever put butter on this bread?"

As I am typing this blog:

"Are you trying to spell 'Daddy is a turd. I love Brynnlee?' on that blog?

My Awkward Family Photo Submission

While perusing the old family photos yet again I ran across this perfect little gem.

I'm not sure what qualifies this picture more: Nathan looking sulky and downtrodden, three people holding cats, Adrienne and Melissa's extreme fascination with their cats, my totally weird face, Alicia's totally creepy smile, or my mom's glasses. Ummm.... I actually think that the combination of all of those amazing factors contribute to the total and complete awkwardness of this family photo.
