Catch up with me crazy

So... if you are reading this, thank you. The last time we had a chat, it was March 2012, I had just gotten married, and was in full newlywed bliss. We went to Maui later that month and spent a week in paradise. It was surreal and I didn't want to leave, but I definitely recommend it.Our first day in Maui and we rented some snorkel equipment, and after some trial and error, we got in the ocean and ended up swimming along side a sea turtle. If you ever get that opportunity, jump at it. I am not rich, in fact I hadn't even seen the ocean until our honeymoon. I am a small town girl and never thought I would ever be able to take a trip like that. I love my husband!
I threw my sister a baby shower. She was having a little boy and the theme of his room is owls, so I made these cake pops.
They were chocolate cake, with chocolate icing and dipped in chocolate. Perfect for a pregnant woman, right?

 Then my son turned 3, and keeping with tradition, I made his cake. He had a dinosaur themed party and here is his cake. The Logansaurus Rex
This kid goes insane for anything dinosaur or super hero related. He loved it and everyone had a blast. The head and tail of this dinosaur are made of rice crispies, the hands and feet are straight fondant and the body is the cake. It was a challenge to get the fondant to work with me, without tearing.
A month later was my daughters 2nd birthday and here is a picture of her birthday cupcakes.
I had to make her cupcake tower because I couldnt find one for mini cupcakes. :-(
Since my daughters birthday, I havn't done much baking, even though I want to. At this moment I am sick with a horrendous cold and sinus infection.
Thank you for reading and I will post again soon.
