Party Cake

The cake I made for my 1 yr old.

It was intended to be a two tiered cake, but I ran out of time.

The House

To give you the basics, the house is a small 1053 sq ft and it's currently got a living room, 1 bathroom, 2 bedrooms and the master bedroom has a small closet like room off to the side, and 1 sort of kitchen.

Our plan is to add a workable kitchen, another bathroom, laundry area, and another bedroom without adding on to the house.

Whew.

It will still be small, but we're trying to make the space that is there more workable. I think it will be great, but I'll admit to having panic attacks thinking about the lack of storage and space every now and then.

Small room - off the master bedroom

All cleared out and I've taken off the flooring since this picture was taken.

This closet SCARED me!

So glad to see it gone!

Irises and more...

Sorry, I'm on a taking pictures of flowers kick. The Irises are in bloom and I just can't help myself.

These Irises are my mother-in-law's flowers, and I think she said they are heirloom flowers. They came from Cary's grandma or great grandma.

This one was over by the elementary school

as was this one and the one below

This one is a little on the deformed side, but such a pretty color

This is Blue Flax

These are the Irises over by the aud.

This brownish-orange Iris is in Kenneth's yard.

I thought these pictures of the Cat Mint were pretty. (toot, toot!) ☺

Allium that's growing around our apartment.

I'm impressed I actually remembered these flower's names. I haven't been in school for 6 years and haven't had a garden or done anything with flowers for at least 3 years.

"If you don't use it, you lose it" definitely applies to me.
