We had a great time at the Mansfield community fireworks. They had several activities for the kids and we ate BBQ. It was the first year we've attended the celebration in Mansfield and we had a nice evening.

Here is my new stove. I love it. It is EXACTLY like the one I picked out and bought for our old house. I like it so well then that now I've bought two of them.

Right now it's busy baking dinner. I usually try not to use the oven as much as I can in the summer but I was really tired tonight after getting home from the ballgame so I decided to bake chicken and potato wedges.

Here is the wedding cake I had to make for tomorrow. I'll have to post pictures of my new stove soon.

This week has been full of roadblocks! The A/C in our car is out and we've been trying to get it in somewhere to have it fixed. We have 3 extra kids with us this week although they have been nothing but wonderful. It does make it a little hard to stay on top of things. Then last night we couldn't figure out why the house was so hot and so Jacob took the door off the a/c / furnace and the entire A/C unit thing was covered in ICE! Jacob worked on it and I think it's fixed. Tonight I came home from the neighbors Home Interiors party and went to fix dinner but halfway through there was a loud pop and smoke. Somehow the entire thing shorted out and the wires in the back were burnt into three pieces. I have a cake order for Thursday and a wedding cake on Saturday. The sheet cake I'm not too worried about because I can do it at my moms but the wedding cake makes me a bit nervous.

So anyway tonight I made dinner for 8 people with a BBQ grill and a microwave. Wasn't too bad though we still ended up having steaks, potatoes, mac. & Cheese and corn. Just had to get a little creative!

Trying to stay positive.

My nephew Ryan's wedding was yesterday and I made their cake. Here is a picture of them with their cake. My batteries were running low so I didn't get many pictures during the wedding. Hopefully my brother will be posting some that I can steal, hint hint.

It's been a busy couple of weeks and I have yet to introduce the newest members of the Kelley house. Connor's birds Paul and Polly. The two cockatiels are the cutest  things. They love to sing. They were gave to Connor by my Aunt Kay.

Here is a picture of them. Paul is the one up front. He's the most vocal and a big attention hog... typical male

Here is a picture of a wedding cake I made on June 7th. Guess what I got paid for it... a motorcycle! Ok, Jacob actually got  the motorcycle for me making the cake. Pretty cool deal he thought... Hey I need a mini van..... Anyone need a cake??

	Jacob and I swimming. We had such a great time.

Sail boats in the distance. We also saw a message plane fly over but I didn't have my camera out.

We're home from Vacation. We had such a great time. I need to make a slide show of some of the pictures. You can see a bunch of vacation pictures on my myspace. I uploaded 65 pictures last night there.  The trip was fantastic but I was sure pooped when I got home.

I'll try to get pictures posted later.

Happy Birthday Mom. I love You!!

Here is the cake I did on Saturday for the wedding of Anthony Pridemore and Danyiel Finch. It was a yucky weather for delivering a cake but the wedding was beautiful.
