Diaper Cake

I don't know what is going on with me lately but I am having this sudden need to be creative. I made this diaper cake for our sister-in-law, Sevina's baby shower. I thought it turned out cute so I wanted to share it with you all. I loved making this and can't wait to do another one. In fact, I am making one for Tiffany's shower this coming Saturday. But I think I will do an additional tier since she is having twins. I was thinking jewel tones of blue and green, what do you think?

Underwear Hat

Logan is pretty well potty-trained now and he LOVES his underwear. Tonight he was "helping" me fold laundry and he was in charge of "folding" his underwear (fairly simple to fold-cause you just put them in a pile!) not only does he love underwear- he also loves hats. As you can see! He ran around like this for probably ten minutes. He thought he was the coolest thing ever. Half the time he had it pulled over his eyes so he couldn't even see and he was running into things so then he started running around with his arms out it front of him. Steve and I were laughing which only made him do it more! It was so cute, and also hilarious. Funny little kid! Sorry it is such a bad picture-I took it with my cell phone.

Then and Now.

This past year has just flown by, I thought it would be fun to see how much Bronson has grown and changed in the last 12 months.

Bronson's First Birthday

Well, yesterday was not Bronson's first birthday, however we had a party anyway. His actual birthday isn't until the 16th but since we are celebrating with each side of the family we are having two parties. He just adores music. Anytime there is music on, or even Logan singing the ABC's he starts "dancing". So we planned a music themed party. We had a lot of fun breaking my seemingly indestructable pinata-which I was shocked by because I was just hoping it was strong enough to hold the candy-

I worked really hard on the cakes- (made all three of them by myself- a small one for Bronson and two big ones for everyone else)- and then the frosting FELL off of the sides of the big cakes so they looked terrible at the party. I was very frustrated. I am just glad I got pics before they fell apart.

Instead of "pin the tail on the donkey" we did "pin the note on the saxophone". I didn't get any pics of it at the party, but I got one before shot with Logan (the reason he has no pants on is because we are potty-training right now.) I cut out little music notes and had the kids try to stick them on the saxophone.

We have video of Bronson eating his cake but my photo program isn't working, so here are a couple pics. He was pretty funny, he was being so careful and delicate, picking the frosting off the top. I actually had to help him smash it a bit so that he could see that there was more than just frosting.

Some good friends came to celebrate with us, though it was so hectic I barely got to say hi to them (sorry Tanya, Amber, and Katie! I really do appreciate that you came!) Lastly, here are some pics of the present opening.

More Pinata Pics

I haven't posted any more pics of the pinata because I was just layering more newspaper, but last night I did more visable work so I thought I would post updated pics. I have only done the top, still have most of it to go, but you get the idea. I also put the candy inside. Fun Fun!--By the way, I was planning on doing this in white and brown but for some reason there is no brown tissue paper to be found, I even went to a craft store and party store, oh well.
