Reynolds Family: A Milestone!

A Milestone!

So, today I delivered my very first for-profit cake! All of my past cakes have been for fun and practice; I have never made any profit from them. Last month I posted my cake business on Craigslist, and now have three cake orders. This Lightning McQueen cake was the first. It was fun to make, but the real fun came when I delivered the cake. I felt like the 'Cake Boss' (one of my new favorite shows) - you know the part of the show at the end where he delivers the cake and everyone goes nuts over how amazing it is? Yeah, even though my cakes are nowhere near as ridiculously amazing as the Cake Boss', it was fun to deliver this cake today to the birthday boy and his family getting ready for the big party. They all loved it so much, and the little boy just grinned and grinned and grinned as he stared at the cake. It made my day.

And I never appreciate before how cute of a character Lightning McQueen is. He was so fun to make!

Funny Things Katelee Says

"Are you going or leaving?!?" She was trying to ask if I was coming or going, I think . . . LOL!
Pulling her eyebrows up in the middle, "Do I look EVIL?"
Gerald woke up one morning complaining of a sore back. "Dad, you need to get a Sleep Number bed," was Katelee's response. We cracked up! Too much TV, perhaps?
I told her I was going to french braid her hair. When the braid was done, she asked, "How does my Mexican braid look??"
We were admiring a beautiful moon on the evening of Gerald's birthday. Katelee said, "I think Jesus put that moon in the sky for daddy's birthday." Aunt Bonnie's birthday was two days later. Katelee saw a cloud that was shaped like a "princess crown" in the sky and said, "I think Jesus put that crown cloud in the sky for Bonnie's birthday."
"Do you know Heavenly Father's phone number?"
How did Heavenly Father create our bodies without spilling all the blood?
While driving past the big glass windows at a local restaurant, "MOM! My vision is SO GOOD that I can see through that wall!"
"I was scared that the cow was going to moo at me. Or poo on me."
"Can you remember all those things that are in my brains?"
"I have 100 pounds of heart in my tummy for daddy. Mom, you only have four pounds."
"I want more tickling and kiss-l-ing!"
"Scripture Power! Keeps me safe from THIN!" Nothing we say can convince her that 'thin' isn't the proper word here.
While serving a German chocolate cake, "I don't want the German, just the chocolate."
In a really sarcastic voice, after Gerald asking if she needed to go to the bathroom, "Dad! I'm NOT two!"
As we were leaving Deseret Book, "Mom, I really like that statue of Jesus and Mr. God."
Me: Katelee, did you just BITE me? Katelee: No, mom! I was just chewing on you!!
To the kid at the playground who climbed to the top of the jungle-gym, "Hey! You are the angel Moroni!"
While saying a dinner-time prayer when the missionaries were eating with us, "...and please bless the...umm...the...the teachernaries."
"I can feel Jesus in my heart. Mom, I think Jesus is hungry."
Trying to make a deal with me: "Mom, if you put my doll's dress on, then you can give me a fruit snack!"
While sobbing about her new splint, "MOM! I REALLY miss my wrist!"
"I want to go to the temple and marry a prince. A prince named Ronald. But NOT Ronald McDonald. Just Ronald."
"Mom, I have to wear my sunglasses when it's dark so I won't be scared of the dark."
"Do you want to play? You be the princesses and I'll be the glass slippers!"
"These are my shoes. Their names are 'glass' and 'slipper.'"
"When I grow up I want to be ketchup."
"Frogs jump like this. Frogs jump on the knee pads. The knee pads float on the water and the frogs jump on them!"
"I want to watch Shampoo." This means 'Enchanted.' Even though we have told her several times that the movie is called 'Enchanted,' she still gets confused and calls it Shampoo. =)
"I'm not hyper! I'm a CHICKEN NUGGET!"
"Dad, don't poop in your underwear!"
