Almond Groves in Bakersfield

Once a year the almond trees bloom everywhere in Bakersfield.  We have lived here for almost five years and haven't yet been out to take pictures.  So one Sunday afternoon I just took whoever wanted to go and so here you go!  Our FUN photo shoot!!

a moment

Even when he cries and is upset, he is so cute. I have a hard time not laughing because his cuteness just melts my heart. Not sure who took this picture, but they caught a moment.

The Wedding Cake (rebecca & scott)

This is probably the best atmosphere I have ever baked a wedding cake in. Not only was it beautiful, but it was quiet and people free, it had an overabundance of counterspace and a double oven. I have baked cakes in my own home with kids all around, I have baked a cake in a small basement apartment of a gracious brother-in-law, I have baked a cake using two different ovens at two different locations and then finished in a small kitchen of a stranger to me. I have also baked a wedding cake in my sweet brother's teeny tiny kitchen that had about 2 feet of counter space a little table that we locked the wings up and it still shook. This was a very pleasant experience and the owners of the home just let me have total control of their kitchen and were also such great host.  I also didn't have to transport it to the reception as it was already there.  And I am pretty sure the cake tasted good.  Rebecca picked chocolate cake with raspberry filling and white cake with pineapple filling.

Instagram Fun!

I was stranded at Target. I came back to my car to find a flat tire. So, I just waited in the car for Steve and Ethan to come to my rescue. (I know why didn't I fix the tire myself?-If I had to I could have!) But I wasn't going to waste anytime, so I discovered how to do this:

Tiger Lady on Wipeout


 
So a friend of mine made a little bet or dare with her children, which ended up with her auditioning for Wipeout and then MAKING it.  Yep, she is known as the Tiger Lady now and she made it to the final 6. Natalie Zierenberg is so awesome. 
 
Here are a bunch of her admirers after we watched the show on TV.

Mom's Wedding Dress

Lauren has been begging me to see my wedding dress.  It was sealed up in a "special" box since 1995.  So decided today was the day to take it out of that box.  Both of the girls had so much fun trying it on.  It actually fit Rachel pretty good.  This dress made me feel like a princess.  I remember looking for my wedding dress and wanting something real simple.  And found what I wanted, but kept looking just a little more and when I tried this dress on it made me feel beautiful. 
Here are MY beautiful GIRLS!
