Cakes, Cakes, and MORE Cakes!

In January, I did 3 wedding cakes. They are fun to do, but I am always a nervous wreck.....I am so afraid they won't taste good or the will turn out ugly. This is why they are done at no charge. :)

1st Place at the Science Fair

This was the first year a science project was due at the Stalker house. We attended a "Science Fair" information class held at the school, then picked our topic and then begin work.

AND GUESS WHAT???????...... Emma won first place over all the other 4th graders. She was so excited and we were so proud of her. She worked really hard on the project. And believe it or not, it was kinda fun!

Congratulations Emma!!! You are awesome!

Here is Emma with a few other kids from her school who went to Districts too after winning at school level.

Emma, you are awesome and just so "d-a-r-n" cute!!!!

A Christmas Cruise

This year for Christmas we went on a Cruise with some of our favorite people! We love this family so much and truly enjoy spending every moment we get with them. They are AWESOME!

The cruise took us to 3 different countries ( Belize, Honduras and Mexico) and to the Florida Keys. We had a great time and are looking forward to our next cruise in October.

There were so many pictures I put them on a slide show. Enjoy!

Big Apple!

No TURKEY for Thanksgiving this year! We had an APPLE! A BIG Apple. We went to New York. We had such a wonderful time. We went to all the tourist hot spots and even did some shopping too. Some of my family from Kentucky were part of a 4H group that was in NYC the same time we were. This allowed us to spend some time with them. Watching the Macy's day parade with them was a highlight.

Some other highlights... 
     Girls playing on the big floor piano at FAO Schwarz
     Going to the Tiffany Store and buying a few things
     Dylan's Candy Shop
     Eating a hot dog on the street
     Riding in a subway
     Statue of Liberty
     Memorial for the World Trade Centers
     Going to Harlem!  
Yep! That is right....we got off on the wrong stop and ended up in Harlem. It took us a couple of blocks to realize what we had done. Then a nice lady approached us to help guide us back to the subway. Apparently she could tell we were in the wrong area. :) But believe it or not Harlem was one of the cleanest areas we saw.

Here are some pictures to show our fun...

Another Blessed day

Grace got baptized on October 5, 2010. We are so excited and proud of her decision. She is a young lady who is amazingly spiritually strong. It was such a beautiful day. Many friends and family camp to see this very special occasion. The room was FULL.

We love you Grace! You are a sweet daughter of Heavenly Father. We are so glad to be the one's raising you for him.

Famous for the day!

Hollywood Studios for the day! We had a great time and the kids were involved in everything! And when I say the kids......I mean Justin too. :)
