These past 2 weeks have flown by - I can't believe it is going to be August already!! Last week we were busy from 8am every day until 8-9pm every night...Ben had a bunch of playdates and I had a bunch of work! I had a great night out with some other mommies last Friday night. We went to the Ivory Club and had some drinks and danced. It was a blast! I have not danced that much since I was 19 or 20...(I don't think I've drank that much either...). Needless to say, 7:40 came very early, getting home at 2am... it was still worth it! This week was supposed to be a bit more relaxed and calm, but it soon became crazy, just like the week before it!
We are leaving for Vancouver tomorrow for my "cousin" Rachel's memorial golf tournament. She passed away from Cystic Fibrosis and each year her family puts on a day of golfing and gathering - it is a lot of fun and it gives us an excuse to get out to visit them. Dave's sister Carrie is Hudson-sitting for us while we are gone....she is so great! We would miss out on so many trips if we did not have her!
OHHH! Speaking of Mrs. Carrie......I am going to be an auntie!!!!! YEAH!!!! Her and her husband Chris are expecting a baby BOY in the middle of December! I can't wait! Ben is going to have so much fun with a cousin, and a BOY... does it get any better than that!? She can feel him kicking and moving around already - makes me miss that.... I can't wait for the baby to come. She loves being an auntie, but wait until she can be a mommy! Life does not get better than when you are a mom! (Maybe I can convince her to let me take some Tummy photos of her for my blog....hmmmm we'll see)
So much for a "quick" recap. Anyway, I had my last cake class of Level 1 this past Monday. It was a great class. We learned to make those roses you get on Store bought cakes...not too hard once you practice them! This was my final cake:
My Level 2 class starts the second Tuesday in August... on to Gum Paste and Fondant...I am excited for that!
And of course, what would a post be without some Ben photos.... this was him on Wednesday helping Granny water her flowers (he had his own watering can that he figured out how to fill with the hose himself). Granny said that he spent most of the time "watering" his legs and shoes even though he thought he was actually watering the flowers...so cute! This makes me want a deck and yard even more!
