Fun with Mason and cakes

These pictures made me laugh. Lately, Donovan will only cooperate with one article of clothing. It's either a shirt or pants most days, unless we are going somewhere.

Sometimes it's no clothes at all. He looks like the opposite of what he really is. His head looks huge and he looks so skinny, but it's really the other way around. He is still a little chunky and his head is still below average size.

I haven't posted a recipe for a couple of weeks, I apologize but we have been busy on Fridays. Last week my parents were still here and I was decorating cakes for our fundraiser dinner/auction today. I will post a recipe or two tomorrow.

Here is my first attempt at a Barbie Cake. Not even close to what my mom does, but I think it's pretty good for my first attempt. Someday I will have to figure out how to do flowers or something so it's not so plain. One of my young women actually asked me to make her one for her birthday so I felt pretty good about what I did. I also made another soccer ball cake, but everyone saw that for Donovan's birthday so I won't bore you with another one.

We got to play with Mason this week, hooray! Lenna has had conferences this week so we watched Mason in the afternoons when Scott was at school or at work. Donovan had a lot of fun playing with his cousin and we hope Mason had fun too. They are so silly together. Whenever they see each other they flip out. Donovan got to run around with him again today. He and Mason played with bouncy balls, ran around, and played piano while Lenna and I helped out with the fundraising dinner. Actually Lenna helped and I kept an eye on the boys and chased them around. Lenna is a little too pregnant to be running after crazy boys!!

Donovan has so much fun with his silly daddy. Brad is coaching a high school team this spring (on top of his college coaching duties, he is insane) so he doesn't get home until after 6:30 most nights. Any time Donovan gets with his dad is precious to him, he can't get enough of Brad!
