The Cake

January 19th my brother got married!! I'm so happy for him and his new wife. They let me make the wedding cake! I had never done anything like this before and I wanted to thank them for giving me the opportunity. I learned a lot and it was really fun.

The awesome walls

Today I hung up all my pictures on my walls. It sounds really good but the sad thing is we have been living here for 7 months. It obviously takes me a while to decide what to put where . I also put up a paper towel holder because I was really tired of having a roll on the counter all the time(I have really limited counter space). Don't you just love the tiny screws they give you to put it up. If you try even once to rip a paper towel off one handed you end up with the towels and the holder on the floor, not to mention two giant holes in your wall. And who likes to have to use two hands all the time? Most of the time you are in a situation where all you have is one hand to retrieve the towel with. Well I put mine up with some wall anchors and longer screws than the half inch ones they came with. I think the one handed ripping is going to be long lived.

The Farm

Today Bean and I went to the Wheeler Farm.  We saw horses, pigs, sheep, chickens, and a lot of ducks and geese.  Pigs are VERY stinky.  The farm was really muddy.  Bean likes to see animals but calls them all goggies(doggies).  He really enjoyed chasing the ducks around which I thought was really gross because their poop is everywhere, along with a ton of mud.  Kids just don't care what they step in but I was getting grossed out so I had to take him back to the car.  Also when I was holding him his muddy shoes were touching my clothes.  I don't mind getting dirty if I'm planning on it.  Mud is ok but poop?  Ya get my drift.  I  think we will go back when the ground has dried out and there is a light breeze so maybe the smell of the piggies will be blown the other direction.  It is also to be understood that I love horses and want some in the future.  I guess it was good to see the other animals on the farm because I think I will limit the animals I have to horses.
