DISNEYWORLD!

We just got back from Disneyworld and I loved it. We had a blast the food was Amazing and really you just can't beat Disney for ambiance. So I don't want to brag too much but it was such a great vacation it was our first time to d-world and what I love is that it didn't make me love d-land any less it's all Disney.
This is what I want for Christmas it's only $37,500.00.
So we started with Magic kingdom but I think we took a lot more pictures at Epcot so I will try to limit them to one per country.Epcot is having it's Garden festival so we had to spend 2 days there just to get through it all. (it seriously made me want to plant a garden)

We started in Mexico
Then to Norway
Then China
This Display was near Germany
Italy
Morocco
We had dinner in France one day and Chef Remy prepared our meal it was seriously cool he talks and sings and everything.
England
This is a bad picture but on our second night at Epcot we ate at Coral Reef it was also great.
This was at animal kingdom we had a Safari breakfast in the morning and then we went to Animal Kingdom Lodge and ate at Boma (awesome!)
Hollywood studios This picture was taken just after our favorite restaurant The Brown Derby
So lots of fun!

New Post!!

This is no longer what our little boy looks like now he is our big happy smiley 3 month old.

I know I have been so bad at blogging so here is the longest post ever.
We closed on our new house two weeks ago and I have hardly packed up this house. We had our ward trunk or treat that weekend Lydia was a mermaid, Rachel was a butterfly princess and Abram was an adorable little dinosaur. My mom made their costumes again they were so cute but I'm really bad at taking pictures so sorry.




Then we went to California, it was so much fun. Thanks to my mother-in-law we scored tickets to Club 33 at Disneyland and the whole experience was amazing it was seriously the best food ever and I have had great food, but this was ambiance like only Disney can do.
Lydia also got to go to the Bibbity bobbity boutique it was so cute watching her get fussed over by the Fairy Godmothers.




She loved every second. She kept putting her hand over her mouth and giggling. Rachel was a little too young but maybe next time.
So California was great we got to eat at all of our favorite places and I also got to see my sister and her boys.
For more pictures of our Disneyland Club 33 experience and Trick-or-treating in California you can visit my sister-in-laws blog, Josh and Christina Tidwell.
Now we have been home for a week and their is so much to do but it will all get done I'm sure.

My Little Pirate!

Alma took pictures of Abram almost two weeks ago, I love them. She is so creative I'm so glad to have such a talented friend.
We took hm to the doctors yesterday and he still hasn't reached 10 lbs. which is normal I just keep thinking he is already so big but it put it into perspective he is still so little.

Baby pictures!

I kept forgetting to have Tim download the pictures of Abram off his iphone before he went to work, He put some on facebook but I know that doesn't help some of you. For those of you who don't already know Abram was born last Tuesday on his due date at 12:05 in the afternoon. The delivery went great he's cute and perfect. The girls just LOVE their little brother and Lydia is asking when the next baby is coming. (probably because I still look a little pregnant) The recovery is also going great a lot easier than the c-section. So far he wakes up at 1:30 and 4:30 every night to be fed. He's a great sleeper but all of that can change in an instant.


We also bought a house the day before Abram was born so with all of the paperwork and inspections things have been a little bit crazy. It is a cute house and we are very excited though we wont be moving until December when the Kings get home from their mission. Our closing date is Oct. 23rd so we will have time to move slowly and make any changes to the new house.

Tim also took on a crazy freelance project a week before Abram was due it was a lot of work to get done in such a short time but I'm so proud of him (he hardly slept) The game that he did will be carried by Walmart. Exciting stuff huh?

Thanks Abe,

Fourscore and seven years ago (actually about a month ago) we went to the Abraham Lincoln museum in Springfield, IL. It was stinking fantastic! and we would definitely recommend it to anyone and everyone. After a fun day of shows and looking at old stuff through glass we stopped to pose with the Lincoln's for this photo. What a great day!

In-N-Out

I made my dad this "cake" for his birthday today. He loves In-N-Out but we don't live anywhere near one so I thought this would be funny. The buns and the burgers are yellow and chocolate cake and the fries are sugar cookies.

Sugar Roses

I have made gumpaste Roses before but I have never made the gumpaste myself for fear that it was too complicated and that it wouldn't work. But I went to a new cake store and the owner gave me a recipe that she swore works every time. And it did. I also watched an online tutorial from a british lady and she had some great advise. A lot of the time I have to figure things out on my own because I am not a trained pastry chef so it's nice that there are very specific instructions out there, you just have to know where to look. If you like learning about cake stuff cakejournal.com is a great place to go.


Here are some red roses I did this week for a cake and I loved them Roses are not my personal favorite flower they can be kind of grandma-ish especially if you work for Wilton, But I have a new love for them they really are a classic and beautiful flower even if they are a bit overused.
