Troy or Eeyore...who's who?

Some of Troy's fellow workers call him Eeyore. When we were at Disney World last December, we had Troy take his picture with Eeyore. We promptly emailed the photo to his office. The picture was a hit and made its way onto several computers as screen savers. June 28th was Troy's 34th birthday. I thought it would be fun to see if I could make a fondant Eeyore to use as a birthday cake topper for him. Much to my surprise, I was able to sculpt something that resembled Eeyore! Troy got a kick out of it and the kids wanted to eat it! Here's the pictures of Troy with Eeyore, the fondant Eeyore and Troy's cake.

Fallen Angel

Here's a video clip of my latest sugar art...

Go GG Go !!

Rick's mom Trilla came for a visit recently. She and I joined Stefany and Richard Glyn for a morning at the dinosaur museum, followed by a picnic in the park. At the park, there is a hill the kids love to roll or race down. Richard Glyn had been running up and down the hill for quite awhile, when Trilla decided she should go race him. So...off she went up the hill. I grabbed my camera and caught it on video. I hope I am able to race my Great Grand-Kids when I'm 80!

Sweet Treats

I had sugar cookie dough in the freezer and fondant in the cupboard so, I made some cookies shaped like ice cream cones. I even got ambitious and drug out my air gun and compressor and shot them with a little luster dust. The grandkids enjoyed eating them and so did I. Yum!!! It added another 5 pounds to my butt. They were good but, not that good. HA!

Papa Keeps The Kids Dry

Last Sunday we all went out to lunch at a cute place on Lake Houston. As we entered the restaurant, the kids saw the splash pad and asked if they could play in it after lunch. Their parent's told them NO because, later that evening, neighbors were coming over for a party and they were going to play on the water slide. After lunch they asked Papa if he would take them outside to get a closer look at the lake. Check out the video to see how well Rick did his job of keeping the them dry. The whole time they were getting wet, they kept yelling...Papa you are going to get in SOOOOOOOOO much trouble!!! We didn't have any towels with us so, we striped them down and they rode home naked. They thought the whole thing was a riot!

This Is So Texas

I have said it for 17 years and I'm saying it again...people in Texas do strange things. This is what I saw out my window. It made me laugh. Of course, I gasped and prayed for the guy first.

A Lasso & Hat Promote Cowboy Skills

This year Easter in Texas seemed like a western movie. Friends who currently live in Thailand, watched Bub's rodeo announcing routine via my video. They decided to send him a lasso. A cowboy hat was immediately added by his parents. The new garb seems to have elevated his cowboy skills. Yesterday he requested cowboy "pants." I can't wait to see if the pants propel his skills even further!
