Graduate!

Laura graduated! Officially she graduated in December 2011, but since they only do the ceremony once a year she walked in April. She's a little bugged that her stuff says 2012.

Her degree is physical education and recreation in the college of Science and Health.

She is actually already working at a job in her field as events manager at Miller Motorsports Park.

Way to go! And thank you very much to the Larry H. Miller Scholarship program for financing this education!

Another Birthday cake

Jill turned 25 and we had a little celebration on Sunday. Rob and Jill moved in for a few days until their apartment is ready in Murray, it's so fun to see Tessa everyday! (Oh, yeah Rob and Jill too). Anyway we made Chicken Kebobs on the grill and had fun "sunrise juice drinks", which I failed to take a picture of. I did the cakes on Saturday: I put chocolate cake into 2 loaf pans, when they cooled I cut lengthwise slices of cake, filled the v-shaped slices with orange and white frosting....

I frosted them with chocolate icing and sprinkled with chocolate sprinkles to look a little more like dirt. I frosted over the orange and white frosting channels with the leaf tip and some flowers...

I made seed packet signs on the computer..

This is nothing special to look at really, I did add some jelly-bean rocks around the bottom, the fun part comes when slicing a piece of cake...

The flowers have roots!

The garden grows carrots! I have not moved on to all the amazing cake decorating that is done with fondant, I'm still working with old fashioned frosting. It was fun to try this. Happy Birthday Jill!
