Marshmallow Fondant

I like making fun cakes for my kids and just because. I'm definitely not professional but I have lots of fun trying. I've played a little bit with fondant and wanted to make a fondant cake for Kass for her birthday. However, fondant is expensive and not very tasty. I looked up how to make marshmallow fondant and I must say it tasted much better and was super easy to make. It doesn't work as well for making things like flowers or other things because it's not quite as firm as regular fondant but it looks just as great on the cake.

For the recipe check it out on my mom's new blog: http://cookiesheri.blogspot.com/

It's great to be 8

Kassidee was baptized June 5th. I am so proud of this little girl and the choices that she has made. Way to go Kass! You rock!
She had such a great day and was glad to have so much of her family there to support her.
I felt really bad because Logan started throwing a tantrum near the end of her confirmation and I missed the last part. I'm thankful that my mom-in-law wrote out most of what Matt had said in the blessing he gave her.
Mikelle kept making goofy faces

Kass got baptized the same time as her friend Bailee.







Brittany, Gracie and Cutter came all the way from Idaho to come to support Kass.
We love you guys!

Dressing up

In case you are wondering, Mikelle is NOT a princess. She is the royal dog.
Princess Kass



Princess Libby


Princess Aspen



Just McKay
(He does not like dressing up like a princess or a prince.)


Logi and Grandpa



A trip to grandma and grandpa B"s just wouldn't be complete without dressing up and having a tea party. I love that my mother-in-law does this with the kids. The princesses espcially love to dress up. I think it's what Kass looks forward to the most besides playing card games. It's always so much fun to go visit.

Pine Valley Picnic

Jamin and Karen's family came to town for Kass's baptism so we decided to have a picnic in Pine Valley the day before. Good times!



We roasted hotdogs and huge marshmallows.

It's so hard to find good help like this anymore.

Logan and Liberty loved throwing stuff in the stream and then screaming at the top of their lungs. Fun for everyone and everything but our ears of course!


Libby was so proud of herself for crossing the stream all by herself.

Logi and daddy

Awwww....

I know! When did she get that grown up and that beautiful? I wonder the same thing!

Watermelon

Mmmmm... yummy watermelon!








This is so much fun!


Going....


Going...


Going...





Almost gone.... and completely drenched!




Now what?

Hmmmm.... what is this thing?



Oh! I like this!


More, more, more! This is fun!


Ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha!


Okay, it's not so much fun anymore. I think I want off!


I said I was done! Get me off!

The Terrible Twos

Mia is Logan's best buddy! He loves chasing her and following her around. It's so cute to finally see them both playing.


Logan, someday you will be this strong!

I love the smile on his face when he figured out that we were singing to him!
Still carrying around his pizza!

Okay so the twos aren't that terrible... although they do have their moments. I love this little guy so much! I can't believe that he is already 2! He has grown so much. He is finally starting to really talk and communicate. He loves to tease and chase us and "get" us with things. He loves Big Tars (cars) and twucks (trucks) or any kind of motorized vehicle really, motorcylces, airplanes, if it makes a noise has wheels he loves it. He loves to help me in the garden. Mostly he just picks the plants and eats the peas but he's learning which plants we don't pull. He follows around Tassi all day. By the way, in case you are wondering, Tassi is both Mikelle and Kassidee. He used to call them both Tell Buh (Kell bug) but now they are both Tassi. They love him and are usually pretty good about letting him tag along but they also get really tired of it. He is so sweet and snugly and so much fun to have in our family. We love our little Logi bear!
