speechless

What words can you use to describe the week that has changed your whole life forever?

Dinosaur Cake

It's a Dino Cake. No I didn't come up with the idea all on my own, I searched the intraweb for inspiration, but for my first go with fondant, I'd claim it a success.
Next stop--Gum Paste.

Mabey the Magnificent

I walked in the front room today to find Mabey and Jovee on the floor together.
Mabey was sitting in front of Jovee, who was on her belly, and Mabey was reading her a cook book.
Jovee giggled intently as Mabey showed her all the ins-and-outs of making m&m cookies.

Flying

I flew a plane. Honest and true. I have a friend who is a pilot. He has been wanting to take Mr. Dub and myself on a flight tour of Ogden. Mr. Dub was not nearly as interested in this as I. SO I asked my super cute sister if she'd be my co-pilot on this magical journey. She graciously accepted.

Saturday was the day. It was a blast. We met at the Ogden airport, prepped the plane and were off. Once in the air we flew out over Fremont Island, saw a few wrecked ships, flew over Bountiful, up over Mt. Ben Lomand, over the ski resorts and down thru the canyon.

Pilot Carey did show me what all the gages were, how to work the rutters and even let me fly the plane. It's very cool.

Once we landed, we taxied the plane back to the hanger, put the covers back on, and left.

If you ever get the chance to go up into one of these little planes, I highly recommend it. Super fun!!

ps--Pilot Carey is also a cop. I wonder if he'd let me drive his cruiser.....
