Celebrating Eli's Birthday a Month Late..

...But better late than never. We were kind of moving in January. So..  I had been googling cakes to make (I wanted to do something different than the usual), before we moved. I saw a DIY "number" cake, how to do a two. I thought I could do a one easily.  So... That's what I did. I made one round and one square. 

Cut the round one like this. (I ate the little round middle piece.)  :D

Then assemble it like this. I had to make another square pan, but the recipe was easy. It's from Jenny Can Cook.

All frosted (my husband brought canned frosting home, I was about done after three cakes..)

Added the candles I had bought before we moved.

Eli with his cake..

And a picture of Jetta and Jaxson. He is almost as big as her now, and weighs more than her. 

We moved again. Back to Nevada. That is the very, very, very shortest version of it. I am just glad it is over with and we are out of Oregon. What a bad dream.. 
This is a view of Mt. Charlelston, down the road from our house.

And we have a view of mountains from the kitchen window, too. I don't know what mountains these are.

And, we got a new baby dog. This was the day I adopted him, last year. 

And this is him today. We named him Jaxson. He's six months old today, and weighs 35 lbs. He's almost as big as Jetta. (And weighs more than her.)  He is very lovable. But, he doesn't quite have the housebreaking thing down. I think he is trying, though.
I will try to be a better blogger...
