Here we are at the end of February. It has been such a busy month! Billy Bob headed back to Alaska February 6th, sad to see him go but I knew I'd be joining him soon. Since then Mom and I have been making all sorts of fun projects from Pinterest! I haven't taken pictures of our Infinity dresses yet.. I know. I am a total slacker. But, I have taken pictures of things here and there!

We finally put to use our fun little decorating tips for frosting and decorating and made some really adorable cupcakes for Valentines day! (If you own these.. use them! If you don't.. go buy some) We had so much fun decorating them, we wished be had doubled the batch but then figured we would have to find a way to get rid of them all. So I guess it isn't a bad thing we just made one batch. It was so much fun! If you've always wanted pretty cupcakes, this was the way to go!

Next, and I just have to add this. If you have been eating what you thought was french toast your entire life, you are sadly mistaken. So I am going to share the family secret. Here is what our family has grown up eating. This yummy, fluffy, heavy, delicious french toast. I assure you, your family will look at you a little odd the first time, but after that it is game over. You HAVE to try this! Mom always made this recipe for us, so we never quite understood what french toast was served at restaurants, it didn't look or taste like Mom's! Recipe 

Finally nearing the end of February my beautiful little boy turned a year old. It still almost (I am not a real big cryer..) chokes me up. It is so sad to think it has gone so fast but it is completely worth it. I can't say enough about how much I have enjoyed the last year with him. He is such a happy, amazing little boy. Billy Bob and I are so blessed.

A couple days old

Happy 1st Birthday Wee Man!

So, for his birthday I hopped on Pinterest and found a REALLY fun birthday cake I had in mind from tablespoon.com and took the short cut with a box cake. It was so pretty! And of course him and everyone else were impressed. And Mom and I had to restrain ourselves from eating it for breakfast.. don't bake it a day early. You will stare at it all day and just want to cut a slice out!  Here is the Recipe

And here is the picture!

And inside:

We have had such a wonderful time staying with Mom and Dad this winter. I know we are all sad yet excited to be going back to Alaska. Billy Bob has been busy. We are now in the process of buying a house! Exciting! So March 1st Landrum and I will have our bags packed and headed back up. North to Alaska! Starting a new adventure. We will be taking so many new memories up with us. And will miss our family and friends here so much. Everyone has made our stay amazing and memorable. But before I go, a picture of our hopefully soon to be house!
