Veteran's Day Parade (Picture Heavy)

I told y'all we were going to a Veterans parade, right? My grandpa orchestrated and planned the whole thing. And that makes me very proud, that for one he's a veteran, and for two put on such an amazing parade. It really was amazing! And I will warn you that I took an awful lot of pictures and I hope you make it all the way to the bottom of this post! I love you grandpa! Thank you for all that you've done!! ♥♥♥

The street before the parade started. We were in it so we had to be than an hour early.

Care in her vintage mink coat. We curled our hair to further the look. :-P 

She's so beautiful ♥

Biker dude

Im so jealous, they got to ride in a '47 jeep

My cousin

Dat wheel doe!

We had an excellent turn out of spectators I thought. Kind of hard to estimate but like several blocks worth of both sides of the streets. A lot!

several army vehicles

a couple mascots

There were hundreds of school kids in the parade. Literally every high school in the area showed up with their bands, ROTC units, flag people and dancers. It was crazy!!!! Crazy awesome. Even though they did show up a little off time and there was a little stress of getting them all in line. But grandpa did it and it was wonderful!

This school's uniforms were my fav. Snazzy yet classy :-) 

These kids, let me tell you, they're pretty sweet. They all danced, including the musicians!

Grandma and Stephen passing out flags to little kids

Grandpa drove his big truck with the flag trailer behind. It's an enormous flag, which then a bunch of different smaller flags on the end of the trailor. Very majestic. It was moving to see everyone that was sitting beside the road stand up when it drove past. Especially the old guys that had to struggle to their feet.

The boy scout troop that hangs out with grandpa :-)

the big flag

these all are the people that *SQUEEZED* into the back of grandpa's truck to ride back to the parking lot!!! 

Yay if you made it to the bottom of this post! Here is an article that the newspaper wrote about the parade if you want to check it out. 

Much love!

Bored Yet Never Bored

A few days ago I was waiting in the car for Care while she did the driving part of drivers ed. And I was in a sense bored...but not bored. I want to say bored but I can't because whenever any one in my family says that they're bored they get given something to do, odd jobs such as cleaning the kitchen floor. So yes, I could have been bored, but I wasn't really.

I ended up doing some school, sleeping a tid bit (I took a nap one of the other days). So even though it wasn't the most exciting of times, it wasn't completely boring either :) Oh, and I ate some yogurt.

Pictures of Fudge and a Plaid Shirt

A few more cake pictures to share with ya :)  The first two cakes Miss K iced with ice cream. I decorated them. I'm really really REALLY loving this job-the people are awesome, the workspace is awesome, the cakes are awesome, I'm very grateful to have this opportunity :) I've learned so much so far!! And I'm having a great time, and I think it's easier to learn when you're really enjoying it :)

fudge and chocolate shavings as decoration. My writing is getting better too.

Fudge, chocolate shavings, chocolate cake pieces and pecan pieces. The cake and ice cream is chocolate too.

This is a cake has chocolate stars I made using a mold. Pretty neat. The whipped cream is supposed to kind of be like clouds. Not that there are typically fluffy white clouds that we see with stars, but hey, creative license :)

One of the most popular cakes, the oreo cake. This is the smallest size, but we make them in all different sizes.

And this is what I'm wearing today. 

shirt untucked

If I raise my arms, no tummy will be shown because I'm wearing a cami. So cheers for a warm, cute and modest outfit.

shirt tied

I really like this new way of tying the headscarf. A big bow :)

Us kids are going to the Veterans Parade in Winston Salem with my grandma and grandpa tomorrow, and I'm told there are going to be lots of old cars *sqeals!!* So stay tuned for pictures!! My camera battery is all charged up :D :D :D I'm so proud of my grandpa and all he's done. He's a great inspiration to me :).
