It's already May, and I'm barely used to writing 2011 on things. Just the other day I wrote 2010 on a check, and they returned it to me angrily like "Lady, get your stuff together already." I'm not sure why or how motherhood ends up making you lose serious track of time, but it does. Between working, McKinley, Church, and baking, I barely feel like I have time to sleep none the less master the date. :)
We've had a few busy months, but they aren't nearly what they used to be. If you followed our blog back in 2006 or 2007, you would remember that Jared and I did anlot of traveling. We enjoyed visiting friends and new places and just had fun through the summers away from home. Now it feels like we couldn't get away if we wanted to! We've gotten cheaper, finances are tighter, McKinleys schedule is necessary, and really who wants to be in the car for 10 hours at out age? It sounds funny when I say it to myself, but at the ripe old age of 25 it's just to hard to get out of the routine. I'm sure there are plenty of you out there who know what I mean.
Jared and I have just been working as usual, nothing to terribly exciting has been happening around our house. Jared is now teaching Sunday school to the 15 year olds at church, I'm in nursery, and this past weekend we ran the Indy Mini Marathon. McKinley is growing like a weed, literally, the kid is growing so fast. Just now I heard her say, "popo" from her crib which now means she is removing her diaper. Lucky me!
I wish I updated this more, but it has seemed to run second to my food blog where inshore my treats with the world... So if you ever start to miss me, just visit me over there and leave me a comment www.apronstringsandpearls.blogspot.com

Baking & Caking!
It's been a very long time since the last time I updated our blog. It just feels like everything is happening at such a rapid rate that I don't have time to even think about blogging. Wake up, work, play, make dinner, sleep, and do it all over again.
Since last June, Jared has adjusted to his new job with Arby's and is loving working for them. He's loving the company as a whole, and the people he is working with don't seem to bad either. He's been with them now for the past 8 months, so that's a good sign!
I've been working from home, still doing the Real Estate thing, and loving every minute of it. I've actually really enjoyed being home with McKinley lately. She's learning SO much right now! She knows so many animal sounds, and letters, and knows how to answer yes or no questions. She's becoming such a little girl! (I love it and hate it all at the same time) I almost want her to stop growing, because I feel like there just isn't enough time to spend together.
We took a trip to the Children's Museum yesterday, it was free for a few hours since it was Presidents Day, and I guess everyone else in the city thought that it would be a good idea to go there too. I swear, it was so full there that when you moved around you had to make a beeping noise. haha. I took McKinley, and we went alongside my sister Ashley and her daughter Ashlynn. It was so much fun!
McKinley loves hanging out with her cousin!
I didn't see the word bubble on the wall, but what a funny caption for McKinley!
SO happy to be out and having fun with cousin!
I've been baking a lot lately too. It's such a stress reliever for me, and I just love the fruits of those labors! :)
I've been trying a few different things, along with my usual Cupcakes. Some bread, desserts, etc, and it's been a lot of fun. This week? Bread, and Eclair Cupcakes! :)
I'm still practicing!
This was McKinley's Birthday Cake - Back in Sept.!
My very first basketweave. Easy peasy.
Valentines Day Cupcakes! French Vanilla cakes with Cream Cheese frosting!
Black Forrest Cupcakes, sooooo good!
Lobster Tails - not bad, but needs a little bit of tweaking.
Choolate Raspberry Torte
Cannolli Cupcakes! What's that you say? You've never had a cannolli cupcake? Shame on you! They're dE-lish!
