The Brough's

When J.J. turned 1, I wanted to make him a cute cake but didn't really know how to decorate one. My mom had decorated cakes back in the day but I never learned how. (nor did I learn how to sew, quilt, crochet, play piano, and a slew of other things I should have) Then when we were in North Dakota, a friend of mine and I decided to take classes together. It got us out of the house to do something fun and now I'm still experimenting. So if you wonder what I've been up to lately, this is it... Happy Fathers Day! I made one for my dad and one for James and his dad.


Yoshi... (Mario character) for J.J.'s b-day

This summer J.J. has suddenly grown up into "big boy-hood" and Danny has grown up into "little boy-hood" (as opposed to baby or toddler). J.J. is a Wii fanatic and really wanted to have a Mario Party 8/Super Smash Brothers birthday party. What did he get for his birthday? Well, a Mario Kart game for the Wii of course. AND he got to have 2 parties this year with both sides of cousins. He LOVES his cousins!Daniel isn't as devoted to one thing as J.J. is. He loves Thomas, and Cars, Star Wars, and Mario too. He was SOOOOO excited to open his presents this year! He was dancing and screaming and making us laugh! His big gifts were a scooter and Indiana Jones legos. We went to go see Wall-E at the new Syracuse theater. It was fun for the first half of the movie, until the kids got bored and wanted to go home... But it was fun to go anyway!
Both boys bring a lot of joy to our family. Happy Birthday boys!
