These are a few of the pictures taken at our family reunion this summer. Most of these are in front of Grandma Ruth and Grandpa Jame's cabin in Chesterfield. It was fun. Thanks Brianne for doing the pictures. Love to all.

My Mom Did What?!

Anyone who knows my mom knows that she is very "Cocky" in the kitchen. She won't deny that she is, her response is always, "I know I'm a good cook!" She will even talk about her ego. For Kenadee's birthday she wanted to make her this really cool cake, well my mom isn't exactly a cake decorator. Lucky for her, our good friend and neighbor Katie, is. Katie is very talented so my mom asked her if she would be willing to come over and help with the cake. Katie agreed.
I didn't know that I would ever see the day that my mom would have someone teaching her how to do something in her own kitchen! So of course I had to take pictures. You can thank me later!

It started off good, light and casual. Both of them working together like any good team.

My mom then started frosting the bottom piece of the cake so Katie just sat back and let her go.


Then came the time for the next layer of cake to be frosted and this is when the tension began!


Here we have my mom continuing to work and Katie trying very hard not to hover too much as she watched my mom work! Remember Katie is a professional!

I think this is where Katie had had enough and decided to take over!

I'm pretty sure this was when I reminded them to share and the teamwork came back into focus!
See look, they are taking turns! My doing of course!

Still sharing! I am such a good influence on them!

The time came when my mom had to step back and let the professional work!

C'est fini! Don't you love the work I do?!
