Cake

Well, here is my first cake using the Cricut Cake. I was pretty pleased with it. It was also the first time I covered a round cake with fondant. I'm still learning, but was fairly happy with my first attempt.

Nashville

Mom, Granny, Kelsey, and I spent 5 days in Nashville recently. I had a conference to attend and they explored the city, mainly the mall, during the day. Then at night we'd enjoy dinner at a new yummy place. The first night in town we went downtown and had dinner at the Spaghetti Factory. Kelsey loved Ya-Ya's spaghetti.

The next night we had dinner at the Aquarium and Kelsey rode the carousel after dinner. She was mesmerized by the fish, sharks, and stingrays in the tanks.

Here is Kelsey and Ya-Ya with their wristbands on their foreheads. They were being silly!

Ya-Ya and GiGi took Kelsey to the Nashville Zoo the next day. They were less than impressed, but it got them out of the hotel for the day.

We had a great trip, but I think we were all ready to come home. Kelsey did a great job being off her typical routine.

Lowe's

Rusty and Kelsey attended a workshop at Lowe's this weekend. They made the cutest little flower box. They had a great time during their father/daughter day.


The Vaught girls were there with their daddy too. They all made great flower boxes and then headed over to the YMCA kids day for some fun on the bouncies.

Cakes

As many of you know I have been playing with cake decorating. Here are my 1st two attempts. The first cake was for mom's birthday in March. It's not great, but I was pleased with it since it was my 1st attempt with fondant. I learned a lot while making it.



Now, here is my 2nd attempt. It turned out MUCH better. This cake was for a friend's baby shower. I knew what I needed to do and things turned out so much better. The fondant was smoother and the polka dots are super cute.


Today I ordered the cricut cake so I can cut gum paste and fondant figures, designs, etc. I can't wait to get it and try out a few cakes. I plan on making a few for work and for the family so I can experiment.

Pierstorff Family Gathering

Over spring break we had several family members over for a mini reunion. We had a great time. It was the 1st time some of them had seen each other in 10+ years. We had a family pictures taken as well and I'll post those as soon as I get them. Here are just a few.

Easter

Here are our Easter pictures! We took them at Buffalo Trace this year.

Kelsey loved looking for eggs this year. She had 1 basket and 2 bags full of goodies from the Easter Bunny.

Here she is checking out all of her new treasures.

She got LOTS of stuff: 8 new, cute outfits, candy, and toys.

She really enjoyed Easter this year. Of course she keeps asking when the Easter Bunny is coming again!

Easter Pictures

Here are a few Easter pictures of Kelsey in her dress. I know it's not traditional Easter colors, but I loved the dress and the shoes are just tooooo precious!!!
