The last few months have been wonderful! We've been enjoying the nice (sometimes rainy) weather and keeping very busy with work. I've finished my school board job and am excited to start working at the YMCA doing Day Camps with kids! I'm getting paid to play with kids all day.... The only rule they told us was lose a kid...lose your job...so I hope not to misplace anyone's child. Tim is still busy working at Weiss Johnson Sheet Metal. He really enjoys it except for when metal or wood falls on his face...ouch! A few weeks ago he had a pretty rough time, he got injured every day! He came home one day and said "Ash, I'm scared to go to work tomorrow, what's gonna happen?" haha poor guy. Luckily he hasn't been badly injured...and I keep telling him to wear safety goggles but he's too tough for them I guess...
This is the first summer being together that we actually have time to enjoy the nice weather! We are loving every minute of it. We also no longer have ANY channels on our TV, so we're outside doing things a lot! We went on a picnic last week and it was beautiful outside...We used this awesome picnic set we got from my Aunt for our wedding. It was awesome!
Here are some pictures...

I've also been busy making cakes lately. I'm making my brother's wedding cake and so I've been practicing different things and recipes! I'm excited but also nervous about it. These are a few of the projects I've worked on. I've got lots to learn but it sure is fun doing it!
This cake I made for the primary president in our ward who had a brain aneurysm a few weeks ago and had a really bad head ache for over a week! I thought I'd pixie her a cake to her and family as well as try a new recipe. I'm good at killing two birds with one stone like that. :) I was trying to figure out what to write on top of it, and this is what Tim and I came up with. I love dry humor...
This was a cake my sisters and I made for our dad! It has all of his favorite things on it! That includes the Eiffel Tower (France), Ellie (his dog), basketball, popcorn, nachos (with salsa included), running, black licorice and... a tie cause he's a dad? haha. It was so much fun making it with them!
We were most proud of the popcorn we made out of fondant that looked like real popcorn! I also had this edible yellow powder that looked like butter that we added. Maybe we had a little too much time on our hands but it was hilarious and my dad loved it!
So HAPPY FATHERS DAY to all you dad's out there!
Amazing cakes.. so whos the lucky one that gets to eat these up when done?? haha
