Lounging Around

We went on a stroll around the duck pound the other day. Cyndi had to stop for a moment to enjoy the day.

Princess Cynthia

When Granddad Cockcroft came to visit a few weeks ago, he brought Cyndi a fabulous princess dress. And since then every day she has asked if she can wear her 'pretty dress.' Some days its a yes and others its a no. Here was a yes day.

Beehive Cake and Cupcakes

A special someone in my life had a birthday today. This person is fabulous and wonderful and all other good stuff. They asked me if I could make them a cake and some cupcakes to take to work for their department. This is what they wanted:

Beehive with all the little Bee's around it.

The cake was a classic yellow and the icing was cream cheese.

Bumble Bee's on Daisy cupcakes

All my little Bees. I thought they looked super cool all together.

Princess Cynthia

Great Granddad from South Africa came for a visit. I forgot to get some pictures of him with Cyndi, but this is the dress that he brought her. She is in love with it. Every day she asks if she can wear her 'pretty dress.'

Thanks Granddad, it is a hit and will be for awhile.

Happy Traveling!

Laundry Day

We did laundry the other day and Cyndi 'helped' Ben fold it all up. This is how she helped:

Love this little thing to pieces!

Potty Trained

Back in November I started to potty train Cyndi. She took to it rather quickly and so things went smoothly, except night time. She had a hard time not wetting her bed. So we decided that pull-ups were needed at nights when she slept and during the day she could have her panties. Well the great news is that this last weekend marked the 3 week mark of not sleeping in pull-ups! Little Cyndi has mastered the toilet and is one proud little girl with even prouder parents.

*Note: she still gets a little excited or carried away with some and forgets to potty so we still have little accidents here and there. But for the most part she is a little potty pro!

My camera battery died and Cyndi would not cooperate for any pictures. So this is the best one that I have of her champion look.

Ward Party Cupcakes

Our ward had a summer party this last weekend. I brought some mini cupcakes as a dessert. I think that everyone like them since there were no left overs and I saw people eating them before the party officially started.

I think they look rather cute. They tasted heavenly as well.
