Brad Paisley ~ Letter to Me ~ Lyrics

I listened over and over this song on friday while making the cake. I went back in time when I was 17. I guess my best moments of my teens, when I got my heart broken and I new for sure I wouldn't ever love again, life was so over. I just love this SONG, so many things in this song match with me when I was 17. Mrs Leda was my Portuguese teacher that saw something in me and was always pushing me forward.
My only regrets are the things that I didn't do it, I should have done more, followed more my dreams, about the things that I did, just regret that I cried more than two days for that guy, he's name was Adolfo. I guess that was part of been 17. It wouldn't have been the same without all the drama and tears :) But if I only could imagine the beautiful family that I'd have.

More on Cody's party

Thais told me don't be sad when Cody leave because I'll still have a lot of her, Tati wants to have his bedroom. Chad did his silly face for the photo. He and Cody has a deal one of them has to be silly :(
Greg said I have to have a DNA test, he says for sure I have least a drop of Japanese blood, because I love to take pictures. Greg is so weird.
We had a great time.

Cody's cake

We have friends that work for apple, hp, Greg is from dell, since on Greg's cake last year I had an apple shirt, I had to make sure the computer was DELL or I'd be in big trouble :) Pay attention in the letter "E" in dell.
At the end on the party the screen fail on top of the cake, so our friends said that it crashed because was dell, that was really funny!!!! I made the screen from rice crispy so the kids and Greg was all over it.
Cody was saying for "my" birthday I have to have a cake with lots of shoes and purses on the top of it.

Cody's 17th b-day !!!!!

This past week was very emotional for me. My baby now is 17, he'll be a SENIOR next year, we talk the whole week about SAT test, university. It's so hard to let it go, I'm already crying and I still have one more year.
I cried the whole time when I was making his cake, all the memories that I have in my heart came to my mind, all the cakes that I made all those years: clown, barney,lion king, spider man,Mickey mouse. Now I'm making a lap top, he has no idea I'm making a lap top for him, I didn't forget the mouse:)
He was very surprise and happy. How much worth that smile, kiss and hug that I got and let not forget the sincere " THANK YOU MOM, THAT's LOOK GREAT "
He asked if the screen was edible, you can eat the whole thing Cody :) it was all for you :)

Chad's award!!!!!!!

Chad also got an award for students that got GPA 4.0 and higher. Chad is very determined and smart kid. Never had to tell the kid to do his homework. He knows what he wants and I know he'll get there. And those big brown eyes and big smile melt my heart, I guess not only my heart anymore :) oh my!!!!!

Tatiana award !!!!




Tatiana was so HAPPY to get her award. Greg always says that Tati will be very happy in life, she doesn't complicate things too much and take something good from everything. She's a free spirit like me, enjoys life and like to have fun. She always have a smile at her face. She loves everything outdoor and likes to be comfortable like her dad.
Can't believe she'll be in 5th grade.

Mother's day !!!

Greg and the kids cooked for me. It was very delicious. I feel very blessed to be a mother and feel loved as a mother :) There isn't a bigger gift, I'm very thankful for that.

Tatiana Fielday !!!!

Tati's field day was really fun for them, the kids had a blast. Thais wanted to volunteer so I let her.

Me and Tati

I took the cake for Kristi and went to a mom and daughter at Tati's school and it was so special. My little girl is growing way to fast.

Kristi's cake

The mold turned out perfect, but I didn't boil the sugar enough so didn't work out, so I used a real bottle, I made a tag. " aged for perfection since 1970", she's was happy and the cake tasted really good.

Feeling a little sad.....

Just thinking about some things, some people that really doesn't worth my time. Feeling a little stupid, a little used. Some people are just takers. I should know by now :(
Also Greg is going out of town tomorrow for the whole week, I'll miss him. My sweet family is the center of my world, my universe. I love them, I feel loved by them and I have great friends too. I'm learning how to say NO more often.

Why do I do that....

It will be Kristy's b-day on Friday and she lovesssss wine, so I want to make a cake for her that looks like I'm giving her a bottle of wine in a box. I don't want to put a real bottle of wine on the top of the cake so I want to make one of sugar, like the one they brake in people's head on the movies, looks like a real one, but it's sugar.
I didn't want to pay $ 80.00 in a bottle mold so I'm making my own mold and it's a lot of work and I'll need probably do 12 layers and it's take time to dry between layers, I'm also making another bottle off gum paste that takes least 3 Days to dry and I have to paint it after that,just in case this one doesn't work, sometimes it brakes. I also curled some of the chocolate that goes inside the box for the ilusion that it would protected the bottle.
May 25 will be Cody's 17TH b-day and I'm planing a surprise party for him, his cake will be a computer, I never made a computer cake before. It will be interesting.

Greg's girls

Thais is taller than mom...

Thais took a picture of my shoes and her shoes to prove that she has flat on and she's taller than me.
