Josh did it again!

My brother is getting married in June and this past weekend was the engagement party. His Fiance Mariel heard about the cake josh did for Riley's second birthday and jokingly said he should do her wedding cake the same way, so we surprised them with one for their engagement.

Wedding barbie. Complete with a veil, diamond ring and boquet. There were no groom barbies to be found so we had to settle for this guy, almost looks like my brother when his hair is longer i suppose!
Josh wasn't very satisfied with how it turned out. I thought it looked great for using a box cake mix and mixing bowl to shape it! It started to fall apart on the drive to the party to, see the rift in her dress! But it was yummy, we used a marshmellow fondant that is SUPER easy to make and tastes good. Visit my friend's blog to get the recipe and directions here. (the recipe is

about 6 posts down on this page, with the ghosts!) This is Josh's dad, "Opa" with the kids

Last weekend a middle school near by had a book fair, by one get one free! We went to check it out and had a blast. They had a lot of different organizations from the city there giving out free things. Riley got her face painted by one of the middle schoolers and LOVED it.

We got to plant a flower to take home and they had kids from the schools near by singing and dancing. They also had clifford come and riley was pretty freaked out. She kept her eye on him at all times to make sure he didnt come near by! And she got to go "fishing", and caught a bag of gold fish. It was fun and nice to get out and do something with our time!

P.s.we bought a a couple books and one is called "When sophia get angry" haha, i thought it would be perfect for miss riley, too bad they didn't have one called "when riley gets sassy"!
