We did survive the party for Kathryn. I was so proud of myself; I never freaked out, I was relaxed the whole time and the kids had so much fun. I loved making the hats and scarves, the girls loved them. Since it was at the gymnastics gym we didn't have to play any organized games. (This is where my anxiety goes to a whole new level at parties.) That was the very best part to me. They had this jumping castle too so sometimes we wouldn't even see the kids. Is it bad to say that it was just fine with me if they stayed out of sight? You know, if they weren't hurt? I think having parties on this type of schedule will work great for our family and for me. I have a feeling I might just look forward to them if I'm not planning 3 a year! Some pictures...
I just loved her cake this year. I have a much harder time with girl cakes and was so happy with how this one turned out. It was so easy too, I only do easy!
Doesn't this look like a bunch of women? When she opened up a present (don't remember which one) they all leaned it to get a closer look. I think it's priceless.
Somehow I left home with 6 pink candles and ended up there with only 5. One oh her candles was a match. Good thing I took matches instead of a candle lighter!
Here are the 5 girls, don't you think they look adorable?Maybe I should start a whole new post on this but I want you take on it. Today I was sustained to a calling without being asked. I guess there was miscommunication on the bishoprics part because when the bishop was doing the sustainings, he thought I was aware of it. Here is the tricky part, it is working with a woman that I really struggle with and the reason I hate to say that is because I am not that kind of person. Usually I suck it up and go on but with her it is near impossible. I just am at a loss on what to ask here without totally unloading but, at what cost would you work with someone that you knew first hand to be unreliable, dishonest and uncaring? I lost it a church and was bawling to the 1st counselor. I had to teach RS today and thankfully the spirit did help me make it through me lesson. It went well and we had great participation from all the sisters, not just the same two. You can't ask for anything more when teaching Relief Society.

I was wondering where you were, it's good to know that it was because your internet was down and not because of a family crisis or anything.
The birthday pictures are darling and that purse cake is extremely cute. I'm impressed that you made that. I usually leave that sort of thing to the professionals.
As for your new calling, I'm not sure what to say. They definitely didn't go about it in the right way. What did the 1st counselor say when you had your breakdown to him? Are they going to rethink the calling or what? What is the calling? It's very difficult to work with someone you really have a problem with. I guess I'm wondering how closely you'll have to work together. I think I need more info.
Cutest cake ever!
Honestly you may not want to hear this but I think you are so ahead of the game knowing the limits of the person you will be working with! consider yourself lucky you already know these things about her so that you can be one step ahead. As far as the getting sustained without knowing. I think it is a great story to tell your kids and your love of service that you believe that you will do things even without being asked. it will make a great grandchildren story someday. You are an awesome person, and Ihave heard this from Jane P. She says you are wonderful. So you can do it! and maybe you are the one to teach her to be responsible. hang in there!
I saw your cake on Kristi's blog. You have a fun blog. That cake is so cute. I would love to know what you used to get the shape. My daughter would love that for her bithday.
I found you by way of Kristi's blog. The cake is soo cute! My 4 year old daughter saw it and said she wants it for her birthday....in July! Never hurts to start planning early:)
