Flour Power

So I let Stellar play by the lazy suzan and I came back in the kitchen and he had the flour lid off and was playing....

Oh and a piece of cake...

California!

I just got back from a week with my sister Bridget in California. I drove back with her after Thanksgiving and then flew home. Sadly Stellar had caught a cold and gave it to me. So this week has been recovery week. Thats ok. Its like -15 outside. Another thing was that Steve and I had some computer problems and they had to wipe our hard drive and so my picture editor program was gone and so these pictures are not going to be great. Sorry!
These pictures arent in order either. This is Eliza and Stellar in their strollers at the San Diego zoo. We had a great time. As we were walking up to the gates to buy tickets a lady handed me a free ticket. Score! Then no one was there and we got to see everything with out being bugged by lots of people.

I am a HUGE Conan O'Brien fan and well.... I just went to his show is all. It was a really weird experience. Very fun. Me and my sister Megan went and had a blast. William Shatner was the guest... (what a weirdo) and the Mary Poppins broadway show preformed. Not a great line up but we still had fun seeing how it all goes down.
Stellar usually bathes in a sink. This is his first bath time special in his cousin Martha's bath. THANKS MARTHA for letting us stay in your room for a week.
Stellar did soo good traveling 8 hours one day and about 8 the next. I was nervous but it turned out well.
Stellar and Eliza. She calls him "Baby Stellar". I had so much fun with Bridget. I miss her! Love you sis!

Update #2 For NOVEMBER- Here ya go Mom.

Here is the cute little man. 7 Months old November 8th. He has been crawling since he was 6 months old and now I swear he could walk any day. .. TO SOON!
This was Halloween this year. I had a bumblebee costume for him and I couldnt find it. Among my search for his costume I found a dress, So Stellar was a girl for Halloween. Probably the only Halloween I could get away with dressing him as such. .. .
So I learned a really cool basket weave method at my cake decorating class. I love it! This is the cutest baby shower cake Idea. Good thing my sister in-law Melissa is gonna have a baby boy! I wanna make a cake for her now. This weekend I am going to make a Dora the Explorer cake, Teenage mutant ninja turtle cake, a Dinosaur and a basketball. Then its my sister Amanda's birthday next week (Wednesday) and I think I know what I will do for her cake. Its to much fun. Thanks to my adorable Husband he is allowing me to be Cake Crazed!

My top two obsessions......

So there are two things I am in mad love with right now....... Stellar and CAKE! I dont eat the cake, I just decorate cakes. I look for every excuse to make a cake. Steve bought me a bunch of cake decorating supplies for my birthday and its been obsession ever since. I recently bought some Wilton brand character shaped pans off of craigslist for cheap and its sooooo FUN!!!! I made my nephew a hamburger cake yesterday for his birthday. Bridget my sister bought me some cake decorating classes for my birthday. My last class is tomorrow and I am soo sad. There are other continuing classes starting this spring. (I wont panic) Can ya see the fries in the back of the photo? They are sugar cookies cut into frie shapes and rolled in sugar. Rice krispies for the sesame seeds. Anyway.....Stellar is growing by leaps and bounds. He will be 7 months old on the 8th of this month~! Incredible. He starting scooting at about 5 1/2 months. Then started full on crawling about a month later. Well just in the past week or so he is pulling himself up on things and scurrying along the couch. The downside to that is that he has some new bruises on his 7head7bujuybhh8ihyhj. Ok he just got a hold o fthth mnmhn hkneh of the keyboard.. sheesh. He will be walking soon. To soon. :0 ) He is such a funny personality to have in our home. It is so fun and we just cant seem to kiss him or hug him enough. Now if he would just sleep all the way through the night.
