Part duex...

Here is Matt's second..my first attempt at a cake. It was for my mom's birthday and it was a big hit. I have a feeling i'm we are going to be creating alot more. Its the perfect medium...art and food :)

So Matt and I being the cool nerds that we are joined the community theater. Now I have been in plays before and have no real issues with being in front of people was eager to join. Matt however had never acted before a day in his life and said he would do it also just to experience something new. Well audition day came and went and I got the part of Lois, the lawyer. I get 57 lines in the whole play. Matt...remember he has no actual acting background gets the lead! He is Mike the detective and has 124 lines....the most out of EVERYONE! When he told me what part he had my first question was instantly "Who did you do to get that part" Of course he didn't do anything...that's just showbiz! But i am very proud of him and we will surly post pics!

Aren't they cute.

Here is a pic our niece Alexis and Liam. Liam looks as if he's comforting her. Matt watched her today while Michelle and Ryan went to SF real fast to get their money back from Best Buy. Nothing really more to report. We are having a party for my mom's birthday tomorrow and Matt and I made a cake tonight for it. I would post it online but I can't because i'm afraid they'll leak to my parents somehow before then. Joking of course.

CAKE!

So they had a men's cake baking/ decorating contest at the riverside park days in Flandreau this weekend. Erica talked me into making a cake, we were going to try this recipe for fondant, which worked out really well...but using baking soda instead of corn starch to roll it out makes it not taste so well. But I got it right on the second try and got it right big...I got Best of Show and then my cake got actioned off with the proceedes going to the Crystal Theatre...well total they made like $900 with like 30 cakes total but my cake alone sold for $105!

Gone Fishin'

My dad and his granddaughter/ our niece Rae went fishing in the Big Sioux last night. We get a call a little while later saying get the camera ready, we caught something! We got some cute pictures when we were putting them on a string, even a little movie clip of Rae singing a little song about fish, with most of the lyrics being the word fish, along with some interesting dancing, wether she was thanking the fishing spirit for the fish or just really excited we don't know.
