spring break

It is SPRING BREAK!

Monday night we went to Lubbock to do a few things and visit with Trevor's mama. We have been really surprised by her reaction to our move this summer, so we had to make sure she hadn't been switched out with an alien or something. We also dropped one of our cars off to be repaired at the auto shop where my brother works,visited my mom, picked up my wedding set from Samuels where it was being repaired, and saw my sister and her beautiful baby bump. The trip was short and sweet. We came back to San Angelo Wednesday afternoon. The rest of spring break will be spent reading (yay!), relaxing, and working on Dain's practice birthday cake.

 Yes, that's right, practice cake. I am trying to make him a R2D2 cake. His birthday is in April, but this is the only time I have to try it before the party. I usually make a practice cake to work out all of the kinks before the big day. This will be the first BIG 3D cake I have made, so I want to get it right. My only worry is that it will be too big of a pain to transport it the 200 miles from our house to Lubbock. I was initially worried about the "legs" that are made of rice crispy treats. I have never made them before, and thought that they would be hard to make. WRONG! They have to be one of the easiest treats ever, what a relief. It will most likely take me two days to complete this cake, so check back for the results.

Hope your spring break is good!
