Pumpkin Patch, a Cake, and a Remodel

Two weekends ago we went to Tyler for Chris's brother's Open House. It was a quick trip since Chris was barely getting out of a test when we had to leave Friday night and then he had to be back Monday but it was fun. I made a cake for Cassie and Patrick with her wedding colors. It wasn't for the Open House or anything, just for fun.


The next day we had family pictures and went to a Pumpkin Patch ran by some people in our church. It was a lot of fun. I wish we had gone earlier and had more time. There is so much there for the kids to do. They had a lot of fun riding the train made out of food storage jugs. Then they raced there rubber duckies down these water canals where they had to pump the water. They had face painting and a hay ride. Not to mention the three play sets to play on. The kids were in heaven. The pictures came out kinda blurry cause it was that weird hour in the evening.






This last part is strictly for my sister. My mom recently had a remodel done to her Kitchen/dinning area/sun porch and since she is not computer savvy, I took some shots for my sister to see. She had the wall between her dinning and Sun Porch ripped out. Making it one big great room. She also ripped out the counters that stretched above her breakfast bar and added some lighting making it seem a lot more open. She replaced her fluorescent lights with can lighting. Then she made her island a lot bigger and added a cabinet for her trash can. She also added crown molding around the top and wood paneling around the walls and painted it yellow. I absolutely love it, but I am afraid she is not going to ever want to move now.






This is the only before picture I could find, but you can see the wall separating the Dinning and Sun Porch.

Does mom's kitchen always look so 70s orange or is it just the photos? It looks WAY bigger in there now!

THAT CAKE! Oh my goodness you are good at that! I miss your face around here.

Emily, I didn't make that fondant. But since then I have made a marshmallow fondant that is delicious and very easy if you have worked with fondant and know the way it should feel.
