Wrrrraaaaaaar!

It's getting pretty close to Jaiden's 1st birthday and I'm feeling like I better get going on the plans.

Today, I decided to give his "gator" cake a trial run.
It consists of 24 cupcakes and a ton of frosting. For this practice go I used mini-cupcakes and I made a buttercream frosting. I've decorated tons of cupcakes before, but it seems like everytime I try something new it proves rather challenging. To make the frosting look like scales I had to cut the perfect tip and use a super steady hand. I think it will be easier to frost the larger cupcakes.

So, it turned out great! The best part is it didn't even take that long. I can't wait to make the final cake!

Finally!

We FINALLY got a new sofa!

Sorry Grandma Jesse, but the flowers had to go.

It feels really good to have something that matches the rest of our apartment... and when Jaiden saw the movers bringing it in we could totally tell that he was just as excited as we were. Hopefully, I'll be able to get the loveseat... soon.

I told you there was more!! Our precious lil Nugget found a new sleeping spot. This one is for you SHIRLEY! Who does this make you think of?

Seriously... when I think he couldn't get any cuter he does something like this. Mind you, he fell asleep "mid cracker."

This is my favorite... he moved about five different times until he got here.

Sorry everyone...as much as I try to be a good lil blogger i really suck at it... haha. So, today I decided to take brand new pics of each of us.

Of course Dal was sleeping. What's new.









Jaiden stared at the camera like a good lil boy...












...and i took a "teenager" quick pic of myself.
So, here we are as updated as we can be. I promise there is more coming!!
