Missed May

 So I slacked a little last month. Most of these I pulled off my phone since I haven't really been in a picture taking mood.

 A few weeks ago we made some homemade pretzel bites. The kids were in absolute heaven!! We found the recipe on Our Best Bites. The kids often request a trip to the mall just to score some pretzel bites. We thought it was pretty fun being able to make them at home. They were delicious!!

A few weeks ago my brother called wanting some thoughts on a cake (a sexy male torso) he wanted to make for my SIL for her birthday. I tried explaining to him how I would do it over the phone and some how that turned into me making the cake and not him. So I found a few pics online of some others that had been done and I didn't think it would be too bad. I think it turned out pretty good, considering this is my second time using fondant on a whole cake. I even made red velvet with cream cheese frosting from scratch (also a first).

 So I mentioned previously that Boston broke his arm on Easter Sunday. I have some pictures of his x-rays on a disc but I can't seem to pull the files off so this is all we really have documenting his Dr. Visits. He had to wear a sling for the first few days after breaking his arm, because we needed to wait for the swelling to go down before they could cast it. That was an extremely miserable 3 days. A 2 year old and a cast to not mesh well. The cast was too big and we constantly had to readjust and situate his arm in it. So that just ended up causing additional pain each time we did that - so we were relieved when it was finally time to get the cast. He picked blue for his cast. He was a little wiggly and upset while they were trying to put it on, but they got it done. The cast didn't hinder his wildness at all. You would think it would slow him down a little, but it didn't.

Here the kids are the day Boston got his cast off. The wanted their picture taken with the skeleton who bonked his head.
