Wrapping up another week...

Another week has come and gone- so quickly as usual. Last Saturday Corom came down with the flu. It continued to worsen and ended up wiping him out for about 5 days. He still doesn't seem to fully be back to normal. Thankfully none of us got it, but it has been a week of tending to a sick, sick little boy. Dan has completed his therapy hours for his summer internship. He has a week of training with the company and then is officially done. I can't believe the summer is almost over! We leave for California on Friday to spend some time with our family and then the fall term begins. This is our last year of school. The countdown is on! WOOO HOOO!
A few highlights from our week are as follows:
I completed the second course of Wilton Cake decorating classes. I still can't figure out my oven temperature to successfully do the baking part. I know it is off and my cakes always crack! GRRRR! This week I was so frustrated that after having a cake crack on Wednesday morning I went to the Grocery Store and bought an undecorated one. All of the flowers on the top are royal icing and we learned the basket weave that night. (That was my wedding cake) I was pretty pleased with the final product! The final course is fondant and I am going to give myself a bit of a break before taking that one in October! It has been fun and I would recommend it to anyone.

We joined in on Jessica's family party. Ashley hosted a quaint Princess Tea Party for Jessica's birthday. It was really a family party with Noelle and Grace. The children ate croissants, fruit, veggies and dip on real china, dressed as princesses and Ashley made the most amazing cake complete with fondant royalty. Quite possibly the cutest thing I have ever seen.

These were taken last weekend on a hike to Silver Lake up Big Cottonwood Canyon



Sorry folks, my little crawler didn't get in on the pictures this week, I'll just mention that he is moving around the house all day, pulling up on things and getting into things. He has soooo much energy and the funniest little sense of humor. (And boy, can he eat!) The highlight of my week with Elijah has been teaching him "Popcorn Popping on the Apricot Tree!" Here's to another week! Hope all is well- can't wait to see all of you Sacramento family/friends! Have a great week!
