Too behind, so I will sum up in one post of just pictures. :)

Aren’t these cute?  Of course, I bought the CD again, because it’s way cheaper than getting a package.  Who wants wallet pictures anyways?  I hate wallets!  All the packages had a sheet of wallets with it and no substituting them for 5x7’s or other sizes either.  So…the cd route we went again.  :)  It was hard to pick just 1 anyways.  I love his daycare pics.

  Here was my finale cake from my last course. The humidity was so bad that day, that my fondant was tearing in places.  I was so fed up, that I about skipped my class too.  Terry made me go, ahah…  I do know for the next time I make chocolate cake, to make sure my fondant is thicker.  You could see through it!  :)  I love making flowers though, although these were super hard to make, unlike the last time. 

That same day, we went to my parent’s house to celebrate Dad’s belated birthday.  I got these sweet pictures of Piper.  She is so pretty.  I think I’m a proud aunt huh?

We went to visit our friends two weekends ago on a Sunday to finally meet their baby boy Logan in Raleigh.  While there, we went to Marbles Children’s Museum.  That place was huge! Skylar had so much fun! If you never been, you need to check it out.  We had a good time!

Family- Mothers day

For Mother’s Day, our good friend Kelly came to visit us.  She showered us with flowers, food and toys for Skylar.  :)  She took the pictures above for us.  :)

Skylar is watching Kelly, while she is showing him how to blow the bubbles.  BTW-he’s totally in love with her.  The second picture is my Mother’s day gift from Terry and Skylar.  I got a new lens for my camera.  I’m so excited!  Now I can play a little more.  I’m not a photographer by all means, but I love taking pictures all the same. :)

Can you say another Craigslist score?  We got Skylar an early birthday present now.  For those of you that own these, you know how expensive they are.  Well, any power wheel for that matter really.  We got this for a third of the cost, actually less than a third.  :)  It’s about 2 years old and works great.  It has 2 speeds, slow and fast (haha) and it reverses.  It’s too cute!  He loves it and drives it like he’s been driving it for years.

 Serenity and Skylar

Skylar’s cousin Serenity came down yesterday with Maw Maw and Paw Paw.  She was so sweet and Skylar loved her.  Everything she did, he would do.  He thought he was tough stuff when he was driving her around on his gator.

They were so cute together.  He was so happy!

Until, he was told to let Serenity drive.  He didn’t like it then.  :(  Tantrum was at an all time high. 

  relay for life4-1

Earlier yesterday, before everyone came over, we participated in the Relay for Life in Greensboro.  We walked last year and wanted to do it again.  Man, could it have been a hotter day?  Yikes!

relay for life6-1

We walked this track for a hour in about 90 degrees of hot heat.  I will say that I liked our shirts that we were sporting.  :)  We walked for Terry’s work.  There were several organizations there.

Skylar would ride in his stroller, walked, run and then loved being on his dad’s shoulders.

After walking, we rewarded Skylar with a sprite.  haha…  Yep….that's how we roll after working out. :)

Fun Sunday

Today was a super busy day.  I made a cake for one of Terry’s co-workers son for his 7th birthday.  He had an army theme party.  So, I was asked to make a camouflaged cake.  I was SUPER worried that I couldn’t pull it off.  :)  The cake is fudge marble with green coloring for parts of the batter, so when they cut into the cake, it’s also camo.  The frosting is vanilla and chocolate butter cream.  I made the road out of graham crackers, but had a hard time writing Happy Birthday in frosting over it, so I added fondant to improvise and wrote on the fondant with a edible food marker.  The only things not edible are the toys that the mom provided.  This was a pretty neat cake to make.

What the cupcakes and the cake looked like before they were frosted.

I hope they were happy with the cake.  I thought it was cute. 

After that, Skylar got him a much needed hair cut.

Up to no good  funny- no smile  

He cracks me up when I take his pictures…  He’s either making a mean face, a sweet face….or I just burn down the house face.

That’s my sweet one.

Sunday Wrap up…

Sunday was my Niece Piper’s Christening and what better yet, than have her big brother’s Rex and Zeb singing a song for her in church.  It was the cutest thing and I wished I had it on video.  I did take a couple pictures before I slaved in the kitchen with my mom and sister Mely.  Just kidding, they slaved in the kitchen and I cut all the bananas and washed the grapes for the chocolate fountain.  :)  My part was harder, I know.  Tough job. 

Rex and Zeb singing They were truly adorable.

After Piper’s reception, I met up with my girlfriends for a long over due get together at the Village Tavern in W-S.  We all chatted it up and you know, I have no pictures of us girls.  UGH….  About 2 hours into our brunch/happy hour, 2 of the hubbies showed up and not empty handed.  I finally got to meet Baby Hunter.  Katie’s son who was born 3 weeks ago.

Hunter was too cute and sweet for his mommy.

Then we have Skylar’s twin Logan.  Twin, in saying they are the exact same child in their mannerisms and playfulness.  Skylar always came home with bruises, bumps, scrapes…from daycare, so it made me laugh when I saw her.  Yep….twins.

When I got home, this is what I had waiting on me.  :)  If you’re wondering, we always put grenadine in our coronas…yum!

Family time…

We had a great Easter Sunday hanging out with our family.  We ate, laughed, wrecked a golf cart into another family member’s truck, ate, hid eggs…  yep, you heard me correctly.  It was a wild Sunday.  :)

Some of you on FB might have see these pictures, but here they are again for those who don’t get on FB.

My niece Piper is really growing fast and is oh so beautiful.  She still has her blue eyes and her skin is light.  She definitely doesn’t look Asian.  Skylar finally will have someone that looks like him on the Mathis Side, lol.

Not sure why Skylar loved wearing this helmet.  That crazy kid of mine!  He wore it most of the day and wanted to wear it home as well.  Boys…
