Home sweet home!

well we are home now! It is so good to be home, but we sure do miss all of the great friends we met in PA. It was such a great experience. Our first week home the sheppards had a family camping trip. We had a great time, poor little lachlynn was so cold at night she always ended up in bed with me and J.D. We had a really fun time.




Lachlynn was so good while we camped! This was some pictures of her in the morning, she is a happy little thing.


This is a picture that I love of Lachlynn. I got her out of the bath and she was looking at herself in the mirror. She loves that little baby she See's in the mirror.

Fondant and camp fires

Well this was my first fondant cake! I had a lot of fun, but I have to say I love working with butter cream frosting a lot better!



The other night are friends decided that they wanted to have a camp fire and roast hot dogs and marsh mellows. It was way fun! it was Lachlynn's first fire and she loved being out side and being around the fire. J.d. being the boy scout that he is was in charge of the fire making sure it was always as big as him.

Cake & Lachlynn

I found this cake in a book and wanted to make it for the sheppard family reunion because it had a family tree on it. It turned out pretty good!


Here are some pictures of Lachlynn that I love. The one where she is on her tummy is when she first learned to roll over. She is such a big girl!!

Gettysburg and DC

These pictures are from our trips to Gettysburg and Washington DC Temple. Although there was a wonderfull Sheppard family reunion inbetween, I didn't bring the pictures so I will do a seperate post about our wonderfull trip to Salt Lake. The first pictures are from when we went down to Gettysburg. They have all sorts of memorials set up and we took a really neat tour of the battlefields. Lachlynn really loved the cannons.

Here is one of the Gettysburg address that we really liked.



Here are the rest of the pics...






This past weekend we went to the DC Temple with our friends that we met here, Adam and Erin. We rented a van so we could drive downn there togethere and we had a great time. The Temple was so beautifull and we watched their kids while they went through a session then we swapped so we could go through. It was a fun time had all around. Then we had some Duncan Doughnuts or were they Tommys I don't remember. Anyways, Thanks Adam and Erin for a great time.

2nd cake!

Well here is my second cake! I had so much fun making it. It's so relaxing. I just thought I would post a picture of it. I have to make two more cakes this week, Iam up to my ears in cake with no family around to eat it, NOT good! We are coming down this next week, can't wait to see you guys!

Lachlynn

I was driving for a while the other day and Lachlynn started to cry. She hates the car because we took her on a cross country trip for 32 hours. I thought that was why she was crying, but when we got home and I went to get her out of the car this is what I found! I was laughing so hard, poor girl.

I love this little picture of Lachlynn. I just thought I would post this one.

Here is my first cake!I only had 5 minutes at the end of class to decorate it, so it's not my best work. I had a lot of fun.

J.D.was showing lachlynn the cake, he held it up close to her face and she moved her head quick right into the frosting!! I was cleaning frosting out of her nose all nigt!


Iam posting this picture because my Mom told me the day that she wanted to see a picture of her camie cookie.
