Surprise Party

Last weekend Shane and I went to a surprise 40th Anniversary party for my Aunt Mitzi and Uncle David at the Pine Knob Mansion in Clarkston. It was a very nice place and a beautiful day. My Aunt and Uncle were very surprised that all of us were there including my Grandma and Grandpa Colley, who usually don't attend big events much anymore. My mouth dropped a little at the one where I'm turned sideways. I didn't think I looked THAT big, but evidently Violet has been put on some weight recently. :)

Happy Halloween!

Well, we had a grand total of 12 Trick-or-treaters. :) The pugs dressed up in their costumes for at least a little while and we had five painted pumpkins. Check out the video. We hope everyone had a great Halloween!

Cops and Robbers

We just got home from a Trick-or-treating event for our little pugs. Raining Cats and Dogs, which is a store in Frankenmuth hosted Trick-or-Treating today and had a costume contest. They didn't place, but that doesn't mean we don't believe they were the cutest there. :) Penny is a prisoner and Ruby is the Police officer complete with handcuffs and radio. Right now they're exhausted and chilling out on Shane.

Pink, Purple and Pugs

We had a pretty fun-filled weekend here at the Emmons house. We had our baby shower this weekend and this is the only picture I took with my camera. I'm hoping to get some copies from other people. The cake was made by my neighbor and she did a beautiful job. Cathy came up this weekend with her new pug puppy, Abby. I took a picture of the three pugs together and also a cute one of Abby with the pumpkin costume that Ruby used to wear. I haven't done much today except rest. I had a great time at the shower and baby Violet was definitely spoiled with lots of pink and purple!

I'm published!

Here are a couple of pictures from the issue of Mailbox News, which is a popular cake decorating magazine I subscribe to. I had one of my fall cakes published. The cake is the two tiered one with the maple leaves on the right. I was very excited to have it in the magazine!

Parties!

I have not posted on my blog for awhile now. I wanted to update with two parties from the past few weeks. The first is my dad's birthday. He turned the big 5-4. He opted for raspberry filled cupcakes.

The second party was a baby shower for my friend Melissa. She had a duck theme for her shower. She's not sure yet whether she's having a boy or girl. I made the diaper cake with the ducks on it. I still have a couple more weeks before our baby shower.

Abby the Pug

We have a new addition to the Emmons' family. This is Abby the pug. She belongs to Cathy and Larry as of last week. In the picture is her with the bone TY Beanie baby dog toy we sent her. She will be coming up here in October so we can meet her. She looks a lot like our little Penelope.
