3/29/11: Things You Thought You Never Could Do

There are many things I never thought I had the ability to do. Being an analytical, left brain type of person who is very scientific and mathematically driven anything creative seemed to be a challenge. Once I had kids I think I have been able to overcome this challenge a bit.

In my previous post "She's Crafty" I also explained that I was really in to scrapbooking since having the kids in addition to making crafts and cake decorating. These are things that don't come naturally to me, and you can tell an engineer did them as everything is so symmetric. I took a Wilton Class at Michael's that was well worth the money. I only took course 1 but was able to learn how to make leaves, flowers, and the basics of cake decorating. So far I have made many cakes for the kids birthdays including, this Princess Castle (which a friend had for her party and paid over $100 for). I never thought I would be able to make these creations, but low and behold I was able to. I highly recommend a Wilton Course at your local Craft store if you have any interest.

My favorite, the Mickey Mouse Cake. This was only my second cake. I was quite proud of it. Dora. And another one of my favorites, a Tinker Bell cake.Fire Truck for Evan.

For my husband's birthday.

Graveyard for our Annual Monster Mash.

I am looking forward to other things I will challenge myself with due to the love of my kids and trying new things.

What things have you tried that have been a challenge to you? Comment and let me know.

5/9/09: Lauren's Photo Shoot Looking Adorable

We went out with the kids a bit early for Mom's Day and here is Lauren looking beautiful in her new dress.

So Adorable!
Yippee for me.

2/15/09: Kids on the cover of Parenting magazine

I was having fun on Parenting.com and created these covers of the kids. They look like naturals on the cover.

11/17/08: Pretty in Pink

Lauren striking a pose in her new jacket. She especially likes the matching hat. Such a pretty girl. Here is Lauren looking like an Eskimo trying on all of her winter warm outerwear.

9/21/08: No reason, just cute pics

Ok, I didn't really have a reason, but I thought these pictures were cute. Here is Evan and Lauren in overalls. They just look so adorable. Of course for those who know me well you know I take tons of pictures. This is proven by my Shutterfly Share site.

Evan hugging his sister.

And more Soccer pictures. I just think Evan looks so adorable in this little uniform I take so many pictures. Here he is with Austin (or daycare provider Neicy's son). He has been playing Soccer since he was 3 and is now on the Varsity team as a Sophmore in High School. He helped us out at practice since John is now the head coach of the Green Goblins (our new Team name).

Here is Coach Daddy running drills with the kids. Here he is with his 5 out of his 7 Team (left to right): Sriganesh, Nicholas, Evan, Nolan, and Caeden.

Evan scored 2 Goals in the 3 on 3 Games (unfortunately they were on the wrong Goal, but despite that, great effort!) He loved playing and didn't want to sit out.

And here is Lauren learning some pointers.
