Casey's Mustache Bash
My daughter-in-law Casey's birthday was actually last month but she wanted to wait and celebrate until several of her relatives from New York were coming to visit. She had a Mustache Bash for her family. She asked Joy and I to make a mustache cake. If I might critique it a little bit, I wish we would have placed it on a white decorative pastry type paper with a more colorful frosting for her name. Then it would have been perfect because it was very moist and delicious. We also made some white cup cakes. Casey's house is very small and she was hoping to have it outside. Who would have thought it would rain after the drought we have had all summer. But as always we just make things work when we have to. We had fun and a lot of laughs. Casey had wonderful Italian pasta and salad for dinner. I am sorry Anne, John D., and Diana I didn't get pictures of everyone. To see all of the pictures click on "older posts a couple of times."

We Have a Beach!
This summer with the extreme high temperatures and very little rain the lake levels have dropped severely. The water should be up to the sea wall. We have not been able to lower our boat into the water since July the 4Th. This lake supplies water to Ft. Worth. The good news is we got some rain today and also some the other day. Even with low levels every day I really enjoy looking out over the lake and am so thankful. It is so calming.

Emerson came along a couple of weeks after cousin Sydney. Below are some images of Emerson's 1st Birthday celebration. Taryn's family just moved in to their new home and had a small gathering for a barbeque in Emerson's honor. I didn't get a pictures of Emerson eating her cake but I am going to try and get one and add it later. Everyone had a great time.

Guess who turned One!
Remember last year when I posted some pictures of little miss Sydney right after she was born? It is difficult to believe that time goes so quickly. I posted several pictures of Sydney's first birthday party for the benefit of my beloved friend Gill, her husband, her two daughters and son who live in Australia and do not get a chance to see their grandchildren, nieces and nephews often.
Tamara had a wonderful party for Sydney. The little girls were so cute wearing their cute tootoos. Tamara's friend Michele baked and decorated a beautiful cake and I am sorry I didn't get a good picture of it. It was made to look like a table with a teapot sitting on top. Everything was very elegantly decorated and I was really impressed. Miss Sydney, though seemed to be having a lot of fun appeared to be oblivious to what was actually going on.
