must be in my cake phase........

So, I made another cake for LOST last Wednesday. I just can't seem to get enough of these things. Although not quite as hyper-decorated as the last cakes and cookies, this was one was fun to think up. Dusty just laughed and said "whatever does it for you Jess". I suppose that is what life is all about right? My favorite part was the blue sprinkles. I thought that one up on the baking "isle". Get it? I am soooo corny, but this is my blog so I can be whatever I want. :) You can't see it in these pictures, but on the computer screen are some numbers. you guessed it ... 4 8 15 16 23 42.... if those numbers mean nothing to you, you need to watch LOST from the beginning and become addicted like the rest of us.




I also made another cake yesterday just because reading the recipe made me salivate. It has caramel in the center and chocolate chips baked into the top of a moist chocolate cake. Can't eat to much at once or you might not be able to move later. I had to have Megan and Lauren come over and share so I wouldn't eat it all myself. If Marie Antoinette said "let them eat cake" (which she probably didn't by the way) then I am taking her words to heart. See ya!

It's fun to watch them learn isn't it?

Today Tyson and I played a new game "tilt your head and smile", maybe you've heard of it. This is how it goes. I lean my head to the side and give Tyson a cute little smile. I hold it for a second and then Tyson copies me. He tilts too and gives me a darling smile. Then I straighten and he straightens. This time it's his turn to lean. He does it, and I do it, and we smile at each other. By the end we were both laughing pretty hard. He is also learning how to hold hands. I put my hand out, and he reaches up and grabs it, and we hold for a minute. Then he lets go and we start over again.

This picture is of all of the kids at Whit and Tiff's party. Little teeny Ethan (who is an exact copy of Whit by the way) is on the end wishing it were quieter so he could go back to sleep. Baby Ayda is missing her momma (Patrice was at symphony practice). Gabe is fish-hooking Tyson and Tys is not liking this party very much at the moment. Why can't they just hold still for a second for the picture? kids........



Here are some pictures I took of Tyson yesterday. I must be OCD when it comes to pictures. But Tyson is just so darn cute.





Tyson looks just like Sara when she was little in this one. They both have gorgeous eyes.

Our afternoons ( and nights)

To all of you crazy banshees who think you need to see pictures of Tyson: May this satisfy you.


Now that it is pretty warm outside, we can actually go out and not just dream that we could.


I have no idea what is happening here, but it's fabulous!

I wonder if he will still get his look when he's older because it looks pretty mischevious to me.





This is one of the many times at night that Tyson does not want to be asleep. For all of you who have children who are actually good sleepers, (i.e. sleep for more than 5 hours straight through any time of the night), we are very jealous of you.
