Pictures, Family, and Upcoming Birthdays
.
Visitors from home....Mr.Billy and Mrs. Patsy Schwartze, from Louisiana, stopped by for a few hours on their way home from vacation in the Smokies!! We were happy to see them.
I look absolutely horrid in this picture, but oh well...here it is anyway.
This post is going to be a mixed bag of sorts. I had meant to do a Mother's Day post but haven't been feeling like sitting in front of the computer a lot so...I didn't. Katy's birthday is coming up the first week of June and since I have 5 weeks before the new baby comes and am pretty miserable now...I am going to go ahead and do a birthday picture post now in case I am not feeling up to it later. We usually have a party for her, but with everything going on this year we have decided to take her to Chuck E. Cheese and invite a few friends and family. Yesterday I took her to a local garden that is maintained by the city of Spartanburg. Those are the pictures above in the slide show. I have taken her there before for pictures, but not while I was 34 weeks prego and in 85 degree, very humid weather. I wasn't as pleased with the pictures as I have been before but oh well...they are still cute.
Katy has been and continues to be a blessing to us everyday of her life! Mommy and Daddy thinks she is a smart, beautiful, and always funny little girl. She so enjoys Sunday School and absolutely adores her teacher. She loves her Paw Paw Tony and Maw Maw Joy and as she calls her the "Other Maw Maw" Ruby. Her favorite foods are quite surprising for a 4 year old. They include raw carrots, raw onion, sliced tomatoes, any kind of tossed salad...and of course being of a cajun background ..GUMBO!! Here are some pictures from birth up till now.

Happy 4th Birthday Katy!
And Liz, may your next few (l..o..n..g) :D days and weeks go by as smoothly and comfortably as possible!
What a darling! Happy Birthday Katy!
Can't believe that "Shorty" or "Mildred" is four already. Love the song that you put on here, except the part about sleeping in the middle. I have a sore back from having two in the middle last night.
Keep your feet up these last few weeks. We are ready to welcome a new little boy into our extended family.
Hey Liz -
Very sweet pictures!
To answer your question (and I don't mind AT ALL) :D
I believe that I used 4 layers, I bought the large flower at Walmart (they still have them). The dots are also from Walmart - they can be found in the cake decorating section. They are "Wilton" brand dots, but they had a couple of options. I did make a special frosting, but to be honest I can't really remember everything I did. I'm kind of an "experimental cook," and I don't always write my recipes down. I believe that I made a white chocolate frosting, though with partial whipping cream. It was VERY good....The cake was just a cake mix (2 or 3 actually!)
Good luck....If you have any more questions....let me know.
