DeCoRatIng & CeLebRatiNg!!

I have been really getting in to decorating cakes...after i made my sister her monkey birthday cake (below)...I went a ahead and made John and his brother a tennis court ice cream cake!
I really quite enjoyed it--for FUN--only!!!
I am supposed to be making my niece a birthday ice cream cake (by request) and I am scrambling for cute ideas that are not too difficult. I am no "pro" may I remind you. So, if you have any cute ideas for a 9 year old girls birthday cake...let me know asap!!
In the meantime...here are some pics from my moms "Welcome to the Sixties", 60th birthday party we through her, that I never posted from January...and my sisters monkey cake that I made her!

Happy 33rd B-day John & Alan!

To begin the special day John, Leia & I went to Chipotle for lunch & then Golden spoon for an afternoon b-day treat! We sat outside and the weather was just gorgeous!! (sorry mid-west...)

Then we walked around the shops with Leia on her leash (in training) she did a great job and walked all the way to the end where there was a PetSmart...so we walked around in there! John took a couple cute shots of Leia chilin' on my lap and waiting in her own chair after eating Golden Spoon. She looks like she is doing a model pose! HA!!! Then later that evening we went to Sandi's (Johns mom) house for dinner & birthday cake!! The birthday boys (old men)!!

Ummm...trying to get them to take a "normal" picture! UGH! Alans friend Denise bought the boys some balls....(tennis balls)! They always need new balls! Thanks Denise!! A cute shot of Alan, Denise, Alyssa, & Amber! I made a tennis themed chocolate cookies & cream icecream cake for John and Alan!

~~It was sooooo yummy!~~

I left my HEART in San Diego!

I finally made the "official move" this past weekend to P-town (Pomona).
I like to say that I will just be visiting for the next two years. :)
I just LOOOOOOVE packing. UGH! Let the unpacking begin...........
Thank goodness for good renters in our condo finally!
We will hopefully return to San Diego as soon as John finds a ortho practice he likes...I am counting down!
