B...B....B....Busy

I know I haven't been blogging regularly, but truly, did you expect anything more from me? It seems I've been too busy to even sleep lately. I think I'm averaging 5 hours a night these days :( So, let's see what's happened in the last month or so.....
Mid-march I attended a 2 day training session for Wilton cake decorating so I am now a certified trained instructor. There are some exciting things starting in June so I had to go find out all about. I wish I could say more, but I'm sworn to secrecy till May 8th.

My last post was the wedding cake I did last month. That was fun and rewarding.

The kids are keeping me busy as usual. Brendan and Devon continue their music lessons. Brendan on guitar and Devon on piano. They have a hard time remembering to practice..hmm, wonder where they get that from :P....but are doing well regardless. They are both having fun in scouts as well.

Brendan, Devon, and Bailey are preparing for the summer ball season. Bailey is sooo excited to play t-ball and it's going to be hard to keep Garrett of the field as he always wants to do what everyone else does, especially Bailey.

Bailey is also very excited to start kindergarten in the fall. He got his physical and shots earlier this week. We get to pre-enroll him this next Friday. And once again, it's going to be hard on Garrett to not join him. I'm seeing lots of tears in August from that little man.

Garrett is finally potty-trained. That seemed to take forever! He was so close twice before and had set-backs, but I'm 99.9% sure we're done now. He hasn't had an accident in weeks! 4 down, one to go then no more diapers in this house, yay!

MacKenzie started walking almost a month ago and improves all the time. She's even starting to climb things. And talk about slimming down once she really got moving. I do not remember any of the other 4 slimming down as much as she has. We started her on vitamin D milk shortly after her birthday, but it gave her terrible diarrhea so we switched to soy. Jeremy accidently bought organic whole milk once and so we went ahead and tried it. It didn't cause the diarrhea so we decided to try the vitamin D again. But, the diarrhea started again and this time there was a rash around her mid-section. Back to soy! And I need to get her into the doctor to discuss this. Cheese, yogurt, pudding, and ice cream don't seem to bother her, just the vitamin D. Perhaps there is a preservative in it that is causing the problem.

I'm still keeping busy with work 3 days a week and teaching once or twice a week. I have been blessed to get every Sunday off from work now so I can enjoy going to church EVERY week. I love it! I tend to make 2 or 3 cakes a month these days. I'm currently preparing to make one for a fundraiser for the arts called Tunes on the Tarmac. The theme is fire and ice and I know exactly what I'm doing. Now let's hope it comes out like I envision it. I usually get my inspiration from somewhere else, but this cake is coming 100% from me.

Well, that sure doesn't make it sound like I should be that busy, but I am. And now I'm ready to call it a night.
