IT STOOD!!!!

This last week was a bit hectic for our family. I was asked by a friend from church to make her son's wedding cake. I was a bit nervous but accepted.....I am so glad that Jared was home and available to help out (still waiting for the bar results and hunting for a job). The whole week I worried and worried. I knew I could bake a cake, I knew I could decorate a cake, but I wasn't so sure about transferring the cake across town, or stacking the cake without any help. And then I kept imagining the whole thing crumbling or collapsing...what if the whole thing fell over during the reception? I'd be so incredibly embarrassed! However, all went well and it actually stood! Phewww! I stayed at the reception and had a miserable time though. I kept looking over at the cake to make sure it hadn't fallen over yet. I was so glad when I got to pull the whole thing apart to cut and serve it!

Disneyland

While daddy stayed home and studied for the bar, mom and the kiddos took a trip out to California to visit the family. Our first stop was Disneyland! We had a big group: Grandma Carolin, Aunt Angie and her girls, Jordanne and Tayler, Aunt Tiffiny, Aunt and Uncle Viv and Mike (the newly weds), Me (Sarah), and George and Katie. We spent two days and had a great time. Then it was on to Sea World in San Diego, also fun, but by now we are a bit over stimulated. Didn't stop there though.....we drove back up to the Sacramento area to visit friends and family....then over to San Francisco to visit Tiffiny's new apartment and to do some sight seeing...then drove to Fairfield for a cousin's baby shower...then back to San Francisco....then back to Roseville....Can you tell we spent a lot of time in the car? We were exhausted! The kids were throwing fits on a regular basis. By the time we returned home, we needed a vacation from our vacation!
