One of the families that we were friends with in Tampa (Jamie & Crystal Burton) recently moved to Gainesville. Jamie invited Reuben to go to the Florida Gators football game agaist Hawaii. He had alot of fun! Jamie's mom has season tickets, and because she let Reuben use one we made a Florida Gators Cake for her.
I sent Reuben out to run arrands for me, and was he in a suprise when he got home. I decided to paint our Pantry. He got home to see all of our pantry items on the counters and the clips for the shelves all broken. He was not impressed to say the least. He gave one of those "Romney..what have you done" looks, and shut himself in his office. He emerged to check on my progress, when he noticed that I was using the EXTERNAL paint for the outside of our house. I got another "Romney" look....with an "I can't believe you did that." I later had to ask him to forgive me so that he would go and buy new clips and install the shelves. He is my hero! 
Here is Randi playing in the empty pantry.
Brendin got to have Campbell spend the night last weekend for an early Birthday present. All of the girls had fun!
Kelly Ellis asked us to make a couple of cakes for her mom's 50th birthday party.
The first one Reuben made. They wanted a camoflauge cake...and I think it turned out awesome! He even made the grim reaper that went on top.
I made a whimscal Jello cake that her mom requested. It took a long time to get it all together, and we were working on it up until the last minute. Brad & Kelly even even came over and helped.
Here she is at the party.
Reuben's sister Rachel has been making cakes for about a year...and she has been helping me get started on my own cake decorating adventure.
Here is my starter kit... (Notice Shanda's hand sticking up in the back...she was supposed to be hiding)
This was my first cake for Karen Ellis's Birthday.
This is a Chocolate Fondant cake that I struggled with, but managed to save it.
The girls love to decorate cakes....and make a mess!
I think they ate more frosting than they got on their cake.
The missionaries came over and helped make a "golden plates" cake for a district meeting they had. They said that everyone loved it.
Sadly Mikayla had to go back to Utah for the school year. She is excited to start middle school. We miss her a ton already.
Here she is at the airport getting ready to leave.
Nikki and Kayla went to 2 Volleyball camps this summer. They had alot of fun, and learned alot.
