Quick rundown of recent events

These past couple of weeks have been non stop for us it seems. Omar has been doing baseball tournaments, we have both been dieting, I have been making orders weekly, and whatever spare time we have we manage to make our way to the gym. We have started to try to make it to the gym in the mornings, it kind of helps with the rest of things to fall into place. I really do feel like I have a million pictures to post, but alas I am only going to post a few. Enjoy :0)

These cupcakes I made for a friend which baby shower theme was nesting. I was not sure how I liked the idea at first, but once I started browning the coconut for the nests I was really digging on them. The flowers although simple also looked too cute!

For my mom's birthday this year I really had no idea where I was going with this cake, but had a couple of extra colors left over from a previous cake. I kind of let me creative juices flow, and ended with a cherry blossom. Not the most creative, but I really liked how the color combo turned out.

This is a wedding cake I did for a Halloween themed wedding the day before Halloween. It really looked really simple and elegant. The actual finished product I was not thrilled about at ALL. Therefore since I did not like the concept, I opted to not photograph the finished product. Instead I photographed the cake on its own and than the petite fours on their own as well.

Since Halloween landed on a Sunday this year I decided to throw a party for the kids. It was really fun, we had bobbing for apples, a cookie station for the kids to decorate their own cookies, monster puppets, foam frames--- you name it! I really love doing all those kinds of things. There were a massive amount of pictures taken that day but really this whole uploading process on here takes longer than I feel it should, so I only posted a select few. Check out my dessert/ candy station. Not to mention, DJ LANCE ROCK was made a cameo. LOL!!! I was not able to capture Omi with his wings on, but he did have them at one point. And well Aiden did not care for his Alien hat, so there are ZERO pictures (besides the studio ones) of him wearing it.

This was awesome to watch. Omi tried for a bit without cheating and using his hands. But alas Grandpa helped and held it so he could take a bite.

Maybe giving the kids a baseball bat to knock the pinata was not the best idea, but it was without a doubt fun to watch.

Since the boys are too small to carve, we got them this crazy looking witch. Omi got a kick out of poking the holes in the pumpkin. I recommend it for little ones, gives them the best of both worlds- "carving" a pumpkin and not losing a finger. YAY! high five!

The day after Halloween we took the boys to their first visit to the zoo. Again, uploading process is a bummer... so bare with me and the lack of pictures. Omi LOVED the elephants because they were giving them a bath and he just found that to be the funniest thing ever. Not to mention that he kept telling everyone about his trip to the zoo and how the elephants were getting a bath. It was hilarious.

Now tell me that these are not the animal version of the Falcon Family? lol... enough said.

My two angels pooped after their day.

These pictures were taken at Emily's first birthday party at the park. Omi loves him some playground... Aiden just loves being cuddled. My grandparents were in heaven with this little guy cooing and giggling all over the place.

This is the most recent picture of me where I feel that you can actually notice the weight loss. See my arms? They do not look their usual (old) blubbery-like selves. I am quite proud of those biceps, they really are trying so hard to fight their way out from behind the fat.
