K.K's 1st Annual Kupkake Kook Off!

For those of you who follow me regularly...Remember that my family and I lost our Aunt K.K. (Aunt Cake) last Spring...Today is her birthday! Happy Birthday, Aunt K.K.!

Her daughter, Heather has had such a hard time with the loss of her Momma... So my sister, Cass, came up with a great way to celebrate her life by having an annual cupcake decorating party..."K.K.'s Annual Kupkake Kook Off" on Facebook! This is my "kupkake" for my Aunt K.K. (Aunt Cake)...The clocks symbolize how the time flew by... The bird symbolizes how she is free now...The photos symbolizes how we are all connected and how we always have the memories.... The kupkake symbolizes how K.K. was our Fashionista...how she traveled the world and had so many wonderful experiences! Paris symbolizes the trip her and her only daughter, Heather took to Paris just to shop! My sister, Cass, out did herself! We now dub her our "Cake Bossette"...;) This is Dumbo! Amazing, huh? I don't think she has ever designed a cake before...So talented! She attached a song from Dumbo by Bette Midler..."Baby Of Mine"...:( I cried like a baby! So perfect! Thank you so much, Cass! Heather and her kids made these sweet "kupkakes"! Such a sweet way to celebrate their "Grandma Bean's" life! Though, not everyone baked a K.K. Kupkake on Facebook...Some family members changed their profile picture to a photo of Aunt Cake...some wrote beautiful memories that they shared with her...We all got together virtually to celebrate a beautiful woman, who is truly loved... A few words from loved ones... My Uncle Kelly wrote... I have always walked the line between good and bad my KK walked with me not because she was bad but because she would not let her little brother walk alone. She always watched over me. I know God made a special place for her and now she walks with him. I will try hard to be a better person so if I’m lucky maybe I to will walk with them. Love you and miss you. Aunt Linda wrote...I remember how much she loved Heather. And how she was Kelly, Sue's and Mary's best friend. How much she loved the kids- all of them. But mostly I remember her smile. Her daughter, Heather wrote...One in particular though was when I had Zach and she came and stayed and helped with everything. Especially the cleaning.. So when we got home with Zach, It smelled of bleach so strong that we couldn't breathe. I remember growing up how spotless she was and meticulous of how she cleaned too. She was just wonderful in all aspects.. I miss her tremendously..... ♥ ♥ my sister, Kate said...We all miss you Aunt KK...Mom and Ralph are so blessed to be spending this day with you. Just know, we are all taking good care of Heather... she is our heart! I love you, Cake...I hope you know how much you are loved and missed! And how you touched all of our lives with your presence...Happy Birthday! XoXo, Little Meme ;)

Beauty And Grace

I am sooo glad to get back to blogging....I need to...for my heart's sake...I will start off by showing you my favorite photo of my Aunt K.K....I called her Cake....She was a beautiful spirit....So fun to be around...Her beauty and grace warmed so many hearts....This silly smile in this photo, made you feel like everything was going to be okay....;)

She helped raise me when I was a young girl...I remember watching her every move...She was always busy...I can still see her curling her long lashes with the eyelash curler...and dusting her beautifully kept home (the smell of lemons always reminds me of her), she loved tanning (she could of been the Bain De Soliel Model), she loved Coach purses and Lancome Makeup...

She moved to Saudi Arabia, when I was 6 or 7...She loved traveling the world...I remember one time, she and her only daughter, Heather, flew to Paris just to shop...She was my Fashionista...I looked up to her and thought she hung the moon...She was my "Go To Girl" for fashion, makeup, puberty and boys...She had a way to make you feel like everything would be okay...And she was right...Everything was always okay....;)

Cake, if you can hear me~I love and miss you so...You will always be my Cake...I am sorry that you were soo sick...It was hard to let you know my heart was breaking for you...I never would of imagined the end of your life to be such a struggle...I choose to remember you, when you were happy and full of life...I think that is how you would want it, too...I know you are at peace, so I am trying to be at peace, as well...Give a kiss to my Beautiful Momma and tell Papa, I miss him so....I know Heaven is more beautiful with such an angel like you....
