cake making

So I've been thinking that I might make Graham's birthday cake. Graham has been sick the last few days, so I decided that I was going to try and make my first fondant cake. Disregard that it's only one color (I didn't see the point in making two colors since this was just a test) and that there are stars on top (that's just a cookie cutter that I already had). What do you think? The only thing is I had a hard time rubbing in all of the powered sugar...you can see a few white flecks here and there. Any idea how to completely smooth out the cake and make sure you don't see any of that sugar?

Baby No. 2

I've been slacking on my posts for the last few weeks! Things have been a little crazy because we're pregnant! Baby No. 2 should arrive sometime around Nov. 7th! That means that I'm 11 weeks 2 days! We went to the doctor again today and heard the baby's heart beat. It was 175...which is on the high side! Some people have said that high means girl, but I've got a feeling it's a boy. I could be wrong though because I was positive Graham was a girl...and he's definitely a boy! Jeff thinks it will be a girl. I did that Chinese Baby Calculator when I had Graham and it said boy. I did it again today, and it said girl. We should find out sometime in the middle of June.

updates

So it's been forever since I've blogged...sorry. The last few weeks have been crazy! We've started our new home group which is going so well! I really think we have a great group. I'm just eager to get to know everyone better! We have two pregnant girls due on the same day, so funny and crazy that it falls on the same day! (Lindsey and Kate...October 23rd) We're so excited for them both! We're doing a study on the book of James.

Other than that, we went to Arizona and Las Vegas for a week. We saw the Rangers at Spring Training. It was so much fun! We also went to the Arboretum a few weeks ago.
