Weddings and Cake

My cousin, Cory, got married in Atlanta this past weekend. The wedding was beautiful, and it was fun to spend time with family. Cory and Carrie are now honeymooning in Mexico, and I wish Mike and I were there too!

I realized this weekend that wedding cake is very important to me. Each time we attend a wedding, one of my first questions is, "Do you think they will have cream cheese icing on the wedding cake?" I LOVE cream cheese icing! I've been known to buy it and eat it by the spoonfuls, and I often eat the icing off multiple pieces of cake.

My wedding cake had cream cheese icing and was one of the best cakes I've ever tasted (my other all-time favorite is Nancy Patterson's strawberry cake). Many people tell us they remember our wedding cake (not my dress, not the flowers, not the band and not the food- the cake). My sister, who's 1-year anniversary is next month, had the same fabulous cake at her wedding. My mom pulled an extra piece out of the freezer this weekend, and I managed to bring it home (I think Tracy forgot it was there, but she'll get her top piece next month).

Here is a picture of the delicious cake (taken at Tracy's wedding) and some pictures from this weekend.

I also want to give a shout-out to Mike, who played golf yesterday for the first time in two years and shot a 90 (he says that is not good, but it sounds good to me.) I don't think he will wait another two years to play again!

Happy Fathers Day!

Happy Fathers Day! I'm very thankful to have an awesome Dad! He is the most giving and hard-working person that I've ever met, and he sets a great example for us.

Just so this won't be totally sappy, I will add that I inherited his lack of patience and his large rib cage :) I love you, Dad!

Some random happenings around here

I know it's been a while since I've posted, but I really like the last post and wanted to leave it for a while. I love that it got so many comments and that so many of you agreed with me! : ) GO GOLF!!

I went to Corks and Canvas a few weeks ago with some friends. I had a great time, but I thought the painting was pretty tough! I'm not creative or artistic, so thankfully I was there with a fun group. It was dark outside when I got home, so when I showed Mike my painting he asked, "Did you really paint that? It looks good!" But then when I brought it inside to the light, he completely believed that I did it. I want to go back and paint a dog (it's coming up soon), but I think I'd be better off paying for someone with talent to go paint me a dog for me.

Our niece, Hannah, turned two on May 18th. She is so cute, smart and well-behaved! Mike and I always say that our future kids will never measure up to Hannah. Here she is on her "bike."

Won't she look cute it this litle Lilly Pulitzer dress we gave her? I found it at Costco! They had tons of them. If you have little girls, you should go get a few!

Mike will not like me posting this picture, but this is what happened a few nights ago when I asked him to clean the toilets and try not to breathe in the fumes from the toilet cleaner. He made a "mask," and I'm not sure why he's holding the Clorox wipes.
