During those 7 years we have seen quite a few changes in our lives, but none compare to the birth of our daughter. Makaylee Ann Hale was born May 11, 2006 at 11:23pm. My how life has changed.
For those interested, here is a link to my pregnancy website:

We have now added Kaiden to the mix on January 8, 2008, what a wild and crazy ride!Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08599670188466984676noreply@blogger.comBlogger105125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31708025.post-49428230932269563132009-05-17T20:52:00.000-07:002009-05-17T21:07:45.162-07:00Candyland Birthday Party<div align="center">My baby is 3! Can you believe it? I cannot believe she is 3. Her party was Saturday, and Makaylee was sooooooooo excited. Maybe so excited is an understatement. She talked non stop about her candyland birthday party all week and kept begging to go to it. Of course it was the normal combo party with Bailey. Bailey is 4! So her are some pictures going backwards.</div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center">Here are the girls blowing out the candles:</div><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y24/SSmiley908/Kiddos358.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 640px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 480px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y24/SSmiley908/Kiddos358.jpg" border="0" /></a>Here is the candyland cake. Makaylee says she made it and Mommy helped. All the fondant work took me days to do, and it was my first tiered fondant covered cake, but I am happy with the results. Of course it was destroyed in seconds! </div><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y24/SSmiley908/Kiddos331.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 360px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 480px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y24/SSmiley908/Kiddos331.jpg" border="0" /></a> For the main activity we had a candyland board drawn on the sidewalk. The kids drew colored cards and played the game for real. As they passed each station they got candy building their goody bags as they go. Makaylee and Bailey were the only two who lost interest in the game and took off halfway through. But it was still fun!<br /><br /><a href="http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y24/SSmiley908/Kiddos353.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 640px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 480px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y24/SSmiley908/Kiddos353.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Here is the sugar cookie trail on the candyland table set up.<br /><br /><div><a href="http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y24/SSmiley908/Kiddos323.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 360px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 480px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y24/SSmiley908/Kiddos323.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Here is our candyland table. There was a ton of candy! The kids were thrilled, the parents, not so much. But they got distracted by the water balloons, bounce houses, and candyland game real quick.<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y24/SSmiley908/Kiddos318.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 360px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 480px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y24/SSmiley908/Kiddos318.jpg" border="0" /></a> </div></div><br /></div>Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08599670188466984676noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31708025.post-49995387857506109742009-04-20T13:56:00.000-07:002009-04-20T13:49:15.084-07:00Kaiden and the dog doorYes, kaiden is dog door trained, we are so proud.

Hot and cold plain milk, chocolate, and strawberry (both hot and cold), soy milk, rice milk, smoothies made with milk and yogurt, we finally found something that Kaiden will drink. Ovaltein!

She tells us she is a genius. And I am partial, but I think she is :)<br /><br />She is also finally pooping in the potty. It is a fight every time, but she is starting to do it.<br /><br />Kaiden is walking. Not a full time walker, but deffinetly on the way.<br /><br />He is also starting to talk. I think now that he is mastering the physical development, he has started to move onto mental because all of a sudden he has several new words. Mama, Dada, All done, More, uh-oh, and weeeee (that one he picked up from Makaylee). Not bad for just turning one!Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08599670188466984676noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31708025.post-62323254856643873082008-12-13T18:50:00.000-08:002008-12-13T18:47:08.466-08:00Puppy love<p class="mobile-photo"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1elHhc4eMn5as9IoSN3_NRXnZ3VFTsxI5oMkEQP5bh-nNBkoy2vkDBKVQIQmLIE70mPrEw5y5Vo8m6Hu_XLcu9LydMS2jcCaB5f4q6k16OBLBovsmvRog43I6JeZFaaCAf2CT/s1600-h/bm-image-728480.jpe"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1elHhc4eMn5as9IoSN3_NRXnZ3VFTsxI5oMkEQP5bh-nNBkoy2vkDBKVQIQmLIE70mPrEw5y5Vo8m6Hu_XLcu9LydMS2jcCaB5f4q6k16OBLBovsmvRog43I6JeZFaaCAf2CT/s320/bm-image-728480.jpe" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5279471846232707842" /></a></p>Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08599670188466984676noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31708025.post-67002535212015505292008-12-12T17:14:00.000-08:002008-12-12T17:09:59.404-08:00Climbing into the dishwasher<p class="mobile-photo"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYw5d-qQrHIMFi_AJPp-AdJadP6HwyXUJx_sJUSTTmLuYouJLlNNp3ll9jfj6s0X9vhqctdL_ER_FYK1uSls_ZyeLKaYbfAgZNhxFtP_w4VJ7S-rL5R295z8AjfK0ZEpkGZuox/s1600-h/bm-image-799411.jpe"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYw5d-qQrHIMFi_AJPp-AdJadP6HwyXUJx_sJUSTTmLuYouJLlNNp3ll9jfj6s0X9vhqctdL_ER_FYK1uSls_ZyeLKaYbfAgZNhxFtP_w4VJ7S-rL5R295z8AjfK0ZEpkGZuox/s320/bm-image-799411.jpe" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5279075726702438658" /></a></p>Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08599670188466984676noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31708025.post-73900770547139071492008-12-10T19:41:00.000-08:002008-12-10T19:37:14.407-08:00Christmas carols<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='400' height='326' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dwHenzJQLJc1DjEPtGIY-N2ErAFmL0TH5WoW_djuQwhI4G24EtK45qmFeGJfdqtU51ei2qABV4D2Dc' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08599670188466984676noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31708025.post-32319917485542086472008-12-10T09:26:00.000-08:002008-12-10T09:22:45.475-08:00Sharing a tooth brush<p class="mobile-photo"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjW5jDxFyBnbfJ5I9qW0gKvsYvGzhbQg09rDfLv4C1Gsf_FXEMjbIzstJad_Io_NjiPg7tthA8hhbRDxH3ZASOM7OKK9lGZ3lIERFFi1C9euvBMWEHRhwgwutnLnMxMySrts9ci/s1600-h/bm-image-765532.jpe"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjW5jDxFyBnbfJ5I9qW0gKvsYvGzhbQg09rDfLv4C1Gsf_FXEMjbIzstJad_Io_NjiPg7tthA8hhbRDxH3ZASOM7OKK9lGZ3lIERFFi1C9euvBMWEHRhwgwutnLnMxMySrts9ci/s320/bm-image-765532.jpe" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5278213156871016658" /></a></p>Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08599670188466984676noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31708025.post-55359439652856838392008-12-09T13:56:00.000-08:002008-12-09T13:53:02.098-08:00TestingSo I am just playing around with my new blackberry and wanted to show all my new tricks to keep you better updated.

Well, our little boy is made of some kind of <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">indestructible</span> force. We call him tank. NOTHING stops him. He can climb over, crawl through, climb up or under anything he needs to. He is already trying to reach the door handles in the rooms. Yesterday he climbed up onto the coffee table. He can climb out the dog door onto the deck, open half the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">cupboards</span> in the kitchen despite the child proof locks that stop <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Makaylee</span>. Just tonight he was trying to climb onto <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Makaylee's</span> cute little pink play kitchen. He opens the toilet if he has the opportunity and plays with the water. This has happened twice. Having a potty training toddler and a tank who wants nothing more than to play with the water in the toilet is very difficult! Two days ago he pulled a large can of <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">pumpkin</span> puree onto the top of his foot. I was panicked thinking he might have broken his foot, and picked up my phone to call Mike to come home ASAP and as soon as I <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">grabbed</span> the phone he started cooing at it and reaching for the phone. All thoughts of pain forgotten. Every night I find a new bruise or mark on him, and he rarely cries. I am finally starting to feel the pain so many of my friends go through who have boys! <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Kaiden</span> (aka Tank) reminds me of a post my friend Andi wrote about her little mad man <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">Falco</span>. Check it out <a href="http://gleeson.org/blog/andi/2008/03/09/mad-man/">here</a>. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">Kaiden</span> is trying to destroy my home or my sanity. Which will survive??<br /><br />On the other hand I am learning first hand how totally and completely different girls are vs. boys! I think I have the ideal <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">candidates</span> for a study on nature vs. nurture and development of the sexes. How can two kids who have the same parents, raised in the same home only 21 months apart be <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">sooooooooo</span> different. Boys vs. Girls. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">Makaylee</span> is gentle, she is content to cuddle up on the couch and read books, or watch <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">TV</span>. If we tell her no, she usually listens, she is not a risk taker in the slightest, and she HATES messes. So, the complete opposite of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">Kaiden</span>! I guess what they say about opposites attracting must be true. Because <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">Makaylee</span> looks and acts just like me and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">Kaiden</span> looks and acts just like Mike. So, does this mean they will get along or not? Does the whole opposite attract thing work for siblings? Maybe they will level one another out! A parent can hope right??Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08599670188466984676noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31708025.post-43844959132495559042008-11-06T21:09:00.000-08:002008-11-06T21:14:25.427-08:00HalloweenJust quick pics for those interested. These are not the best pics, just the ones I took with my cell, I just wanted to share my little snow white and dopey. Makaylee made and excellent snow white. I have video of her trick or treating at the mall. She had a BLAST and loved it. These pics were taken at the Halloween party we went to the week before Halloween.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVTUQg1otjXVzHfs9RD6EvxHSucd9jEj24ebkNtfC8s1sFbb5s-xUqvZmSMKiWptOXtjpvUzDaHcCmh8Hvx8oo1n2kO3rz_WrDM8mfyVMh1G4Da5Q-tg9TXJ13PWlrz20396BX/s1600-h/Makaylee"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5265778667020647410" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVTUQg1otjXVzHfs9RD6EvxHSucd9jEj24ebkNtfC8s1sFbb5s-xUqvZmSMKiWptOXtjpvUzDaHcCmh8Hvx8oo1n2kO3rz_WrDM8mfyVMh1G4Da5Q-tg9TXJ13PWlrz20396BX/s400/Makaylee" border="0" /></a>Is everyone impressed with my sewing skills on Dopey? That is right, I could not find a Dopey costume to purchase for kaiden, so I decided that I could make one by myself. I have to say, I was really happy with how it turned out. Mike kept telling me I should send it to his Mom for her to make it. But I was determined. So here is our little Dopey:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPPzIWw_STvtL8VmtsEeyA01EQx0BmL_B8Q72d-KcrnsD5R4b_3Umg2tXc9HGKB0l_-14HG_MgCXz8C91o2JmADiaNKkRNrho3prEFC0Myv7jPFbih0p57tRmiStkbTh0OwET4/s1600-h/Kaiden"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5265778664102835266" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPPzIWw_STvtL8VmtsEeyA01EQx0BmL_B8Q72d-KcrnsD5R4b_3Umg2tXc9HGKB0l_-14HG_MgCXz8C91o2JmADiaNKkRNrho3prEFC0Myv7jPFbih0p57tRmiStkbTh0OwET4/s400/Kaiden" border="0" /></a>Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08599670188466984676noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31708025.post-76320309721087530992008-11-04T13:08:00.000-08:002008-11-04T13:10:04.641-08:00Don't forget to VOTE!!!!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJsMTLDQxpNRnSgqPe01jKu1ZextpViKxrU6oRMlXUaGZBehE-V4_iR46H-tm7KGCGIJTcn9tfHtOPlAQ36VMOKFO0RkbMoh6WVNFwqFtp14WXCnMEl_b1PeSJRAxpNxWLb2LU/s1600-h/i+voted.bmp"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264912514671570194" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 294px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 106px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJsMTLDQxpNRnSgqPe01jKu1ZextpViKxrU6oRMlXUaGZBehE-V4_iR46H-tm7KGCGIJTcn9tfHtOPlAQ36VMOKFO0RkbMoh6WVNFwqFtp14WXCnMEl_b1PeSJRAxpNxWLb2LU/s400/i+voted.bmp" border="0" /></a> Vote Obama!<br /><div> </div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div>Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08599670188466984676noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31708025.post-53119158014824718952008-10-22T23:51:00.000-07:002008-10-22T23:57:26.871-07:00Iron Cupcake Earth Challenge<div>Just wanted to post a link to my baking blog so you guys can see my cupcake creation, check it out <a href="http://sarahscupcakedelights.blogspot.com/">Cupcake Delights</a>.

Time for a flash back video:<br /><br /><object height="344" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/n6ypu3WnB5g&hl=en&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/n6ypu3WnB5g&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br /><br />So when we told Makaylee we were going to the pumpkin patch she kept talking about jumping in the puddles. We have a DVD of video's of Makaylee and she loves to watch it, so she has seen that same video several times. On Saturday she did not seem interested in jumping. But on Sunday she said she wanted to jump in the mud. Well in the past year Makaylee has developed a fear of being dirty. We call her our little ocd girl. Don't get me wrong, she has NO problem with toys being all over the place. But heaven forbid she gets dirt on her hands, or her face or hands are sticky. We have two dogs that shed and if she has dog hair on her feet she freaks out and sits down to brush it off. The only exception to this is Chocolate. If she is helping me bake she gets chocolate all over herself and she has NO problem with this. Back to the point. So this is what happened at the Pumpkin patch when she tried to jump in the mud:<br /><br /><object height="344" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/h9c2DUMhhVc&hl=en&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/h9c2DUMhhVc&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><object height="344" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/iBzTqGrsoiA&hl=en&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/iBzTqGrsoiA&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br />And just to give fair share, here is Kaiden enjoying the hay:<br /><br /><object height="344" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/17HwZdzCpIM&hl=en&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/17HwZdzCpIM&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08599670188466984676noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31708025.post-40651697484420532022008-10-20T22:06:00.000-07:002008-10-20T22:44:15.774-07:00The Pumpkin PatchWe had a great weekend. We went to the pumpkin patch. Makaylee LOVED the pumpking patch, so we ended up going both days. They had a pumpkin patch, corn maze, hay bales to play on, animals and a childrens activity barn. We got some wonderful pictures. Makaylee loved walking around looking at the pumpkins. The activity barn was a ton of fun! They had a bunch of pans and buckets to bang on which was okay fun. But Makaylee LOVED the rubber duck races. They set up some gutters upside down on a platform and had water pumps on one end to "race" the ducks to the other end by pumping. Of course Makaylee kind of enjoyed the pumping, but she loved watching the ducks fall off the edge into the bucket of water. Also playing with the ducks in the water. We walked over and saw some animals and overall had a great day. The next day we asked Makaylee what she wanted to do and she said she wanted to go to the pumpkin patch. So, we went ahead and went back. I have some video's to share of the pumpkin patch, but youtube is down right now, so I will do that another day. But here are some great pictures:<br /><br />Look, everyone is looking at the camera and smiling!<br /><br /><a href="http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y24/SSmiley908/Picture092.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y24/SSmiley908/Picture092.jpg" border="0" /></a> Happy boy sitting on a pile of pumpkins<br /><a href="http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y24/SSmiley908/Picture067.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y24/SSmiley908/Picture067.jpg" border="0" /></a> Makaylee and Daddy smiling.

Their little boy who was 5 wanted to get his picture taken with the Hooters Girls, so that is where we went. Unfortunatly he was too shy to actually take the picture, but Kaiden was happy to step in. He gave us a big smile. Cute pic!

I was up until 2am pretty much all week last week, and till 4am on Friday. Then worked Saturday morning and successfully dropped off my cake bites at 3pm. The bride wasn't there. So I set them up and that was it. The table was getting flowers added to it and also to the top of the tier.<br /><br />So here they are:<br /><br /><br /><p align="center"><img height="500" alt="Cake Bites" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3252/2854641917_832633ca21.jpg" width="375" /></p><p align="left">Last week was also a busy week because my baby learned how to crawl! I need to get a video on here. I took one, but the size is to large to upload. With his new found skills he is on the go and into everything. He steals poor <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Makaylee's</span> toys, and tries to grab her snacks. He also went from 3 naps a day to 2. So they no longer nap together. So sad :( <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Kaiden</span> naps in the morning, then <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Makaylee's</span> turn to nap in the mid afternoon, then <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Kaiden</span> in the later afternoon. No break for Mommy. Which is bad for the house and Mom, but good for the kids. Because now they each have their own special Mommy time. </p><p align="left">We took the kids to the fair yesterday and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Makaylee</span> LOVED it! We were so <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">surprised</span> at how well she did. They both loved all the animals. Which is no <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">surprise</span>. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Makaylee</span> has always loved the animals. She even had a conversation with a Llama. Well the Llama was talking and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">Makaylee</span> was copying the noises right back to him. She thought she was pretty cool. We then went to the rides, and knowing our little chicken we were not expecting much. She did wonderful! She loved the giant slide, went on the air balloons that go up and down, swings, <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">canoe</span> ride, boats, and the slide some more. Oh and the carousel. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">Makaylee</span> use to be terrified of the carousel and she loved it. We bought tickets to see the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">doodlebops</span> on Sunday at the fair, and I am sure we will be riding more rides. I promise to post pics soon.</p><p align="center"></p>Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08599670188466984676noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31708025.post-66611248493446191882008-09-03T20:32:00.000-07:002008-09-03T20:42:01.415-07:00Got Boxes???Cause I do! I have about over 1000 of these boxes:<br /><a href="http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y24/SSmiley908/boxes003.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y24/SSmiley908/boxes003.jpg" border="0" /></a> Here they are in the garage:<br /><a href="http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y24/SSmiley908/boxes005.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y24/SSmiley908/boxes005.jpg" border="0" /></a> Yup, I better do something with this baking business cause I need to start getting rid of these boxes! Time to set up my Etsy website so I can ship. If you can believe it I got all of these boxes for free from someone on Craigslist. She has a flower/cake business and got a ton of these boxes and did not have room to store them all. So she was giving them away for free. Well, I could not pass up free!!!! They are so perfect for the cake bites! They are in the 1/2 lb size, and a full pound size. Almost all in red, and about 1 box of gold.<br /><div></div>Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08599670188466984676noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31708025.post-25630623611825808452008-09-03T13:04:00.000-07:002008-09-03T13:19:35.060-07:00Halloween CostumesOk, so I am trying to figure out what the kids are going to be for Halloween. We have narrowed it down to three choices I think and I would like opinions! So here are the options:<br /><br />Makaylee loves Jojo's Circus, and she has a pet Lion named Goliath. So here is what they look like for those who have never heard of the show:<br /><br /><a href="http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y24/SSmiley908/Costumes/27f3e0b0.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y24/SSmiley908/Costumes/27f3e0b0.jpg" border="0" /></a> Here is the Jojo Costume<br /><a href="http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y24/SSmiley908/Costumes/JoJoCostume.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y24/SSmiley908/Costumes/JoJoCostume.jpg" border="0" /></a> This would be the Lion Costume for Kaiden, they do make it in his size:<br /><a href="http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y24/SSmiley908/Costumes/Goliath.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y24/SSmiley908/Costumes/Goliath.jpg" border="0" /></a> Makaylee also loves Ariel So here is a toddler Ariel Costume, though I don't know if we could get her to keep on a wig, Maybe spray her hair red for the night or something instead:<br /><div><a href="http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y24/SSmiley908/Costumes/airelcostume.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y24/SSmiley908/Costumes/airelcostume.jpg" border="0" /></a> And of course flounder for Kaiden:<br /><a href="http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y24/SSmiley908/Costumes/FlounderCostume.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y24/SSmiley908/Costumes/FlounderCostume.jpg" border="0" /></a> Last would be Cinderella and a mouse. I cannot find a brown mouse like the mice in Cinderella, but I think this white mouse is super cute:<br /><a href="http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y24/SSmiley908/Costumes/MouseCostume.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y24/SSmiley908/Costumes/MouseCostume.jpg" border="0" /></a> And Cinderella for Makaylee even though she is not blong :)<br /><a href="http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y24/SSmiley908/Costumes/Cinderella.gif"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y24/SSmiley908/Costumes/Cinderella.gif" border="0" /></a><br />I wish I could get her to watch Snow White because I think having her be Snow White and Kaiden Dopey would be to cute, but she is not a fan of Snow White. That, and I have never seen a baby Dopey costume for Kaiden. But maybe just a green toddler robe and purple hat and i am sure everyone would get the point that he is Dopey. Hmmmmmm. Maybe that as an option as well. She does have the hair for Snow White! I know I was Snow white several times when I was little because I had the hair for Snow White as well :) Please post a comment and let me know what you think!<br /><div></div></div>Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08599670188466984676noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31708025.post-76857954333372001072008-08-26T22:12:00.000-07:002008-08-26T22:22:41.180-07:00My Cupcakes are Nation WideThis is so cool! I always follow up on this blog called <a href="http://cupcakestakethecake.blogspot.com/">Cupcake takes the Cake</a>. They keep the public up on every thing going on with cupcakes around the nation. The authors were on the Martha Stewart Show talking about cupcakes and their blog. I joined their flickr pool, and uploaded some of my cupcakes and they posted them on the blog! Check it out <a href="http://cupcakestakethecake.blogspot.com/2008/08/elmo-cupcakes.html">here</a>.Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08599670188466984676noreply@blogger.com1
