Tilford's Treats

Tilford's Treats

Friday, 24 August 2012

Hannah was styling my hair and told me I looked beautiful.  Her small, clammy hands are surprisingly deft.
I have no idea how she did this; she wasn't even using a comb! 
We brought in our corn for freezing today.  It took me, Dad, and Lisa an hour and a half to pick and husk the whole patch.

 Lisa, me, and Rachel shared two chairs at my cousin's wedding in Calgary.  They had a dog for the ring bearer.  The look on my aunt's face was priceless when he came down the aisle.
 Even Sophie loves petting the new kittens. 
This picture was taken when Cinnamon Frank and Callie were still friends.  Callie told me last night the kittens now love her so much they hate her.  She says it makes them happy to scratch her.  After watching her with the cats, I think I agree.  I'm pretty sure Professor Sprinkles was smiling while clawing her.
 Hannah took this picture for me.  She is getting to be quite the photographer.
Professor Sprinkles, Cinnamon Frank, and Cutie Pie like to snuggle on the step then try to run in the house when we open the door.  They pretend they are sleeping, but I think they are plotting their next run.  It never gets old listening to Mom yell, "Help, the cats are in the house! Help, girls!"

Kids, Kittens and Kake...Cake*

 Lisa helped Hannah pick these flowers from the garden.  She was so proud.
 We found three kittens in our trees.  I asked my nieces and nephew if there is anything more fun than kittens. Callie quickly responded, "Babies!"
 The kids named the kittens Cinnamon Frank, Cutie Pie, and Professor Sprinkles.  The last name was my idea.

 Ben turned six and requested a sports theme cake.  I did a marble cake with cookies n' cream icing.  He bragged to his friends that I used to work in a bakery where I made lots of treats.  He also told them I love to eat treats.  He is very smart for six.
Avery loves taking pictures with me.  It is her second favorite thing, after eating.
 Sophie is getting so big! This is the face she makes when she sees strange men.  She's dramatic like her auntie.  Julie and Jason asked me to be her godmother.  I am so excited!
I caught two bouquets in a row this summer.  I was two for five on the whole summer.
