Hilarious cupcakes for mom :)

Ok, mom said "make me a flamingo for my swarm" and of course I said "sure mommy anything for you". Try not to laugh your butts off at them. I made one with fruit slice candies for the tail feathers and the wings and the other with fondant. I think that it is a riot. I can't wait to hear what mom thinks. HAHAHAHAHAHA! The other cupcake was a vanilla cupcake with cream cheese frosting and shaved dark chocolate on it. It actually looks yummy :) I have a ton more to try out. I will post more later but I was dying to "show" my mom the flamingos!

The infamous strawberry cupcakes

For those of you who follow my facebook life you will know that I made my first batch of cupcakes from scratch. I made them for JoAnne's birthday. They had homemade cream cheese frosting. YUMMY! I think that they turned out better than I thought they would. I was super nervous since I really want to venture into my on cupcake business!! I am grateful to my taste testers. I am glad to have gotten their honest opinions and I really feel like I can actually do this! YEAH! I am so excited to make some more. Hooray for 2 more birthdays this month. I wish I could mail them to my daddy for his birthday.

4th of July

I guess I am a little behind in my blogging. I think that I just forget to do it. We had the pleasure of going to the Kilpack's home again on the Silver Lake for the 4th of July. The kids have more fun that should be allowed by law. They take them out on boats and set of fireworks and eat and eat. It is very fun. The cute baby in the photos is my nephew Brooks. He is my buddy :)

Time for a healthy breakfast

Ok, I am sure that everyone knows that I love my cute hubby more than words can say but I super hate that he eats stuff like this for breakfast!!!! UNREAL MAN! The world is a cruel place. I can look at his "breakfast" and gain 10 pounds and he eats that stuff all the time. I am not even kidding you that I bought 8 half gallons of ice cream the other day. Unbelievable!

Four wheeling through the ferns

Spencer sold his 69 Charger and bought a few four wheelers. He has been begging me to go and I figured that no heart issue or whatever is wrong should keep me at home all the time so I decided to go this time. I have to say that I was pretty apprehensive about going and being a big failure (I still have a fear of looking like a fool in front of the man that I think is cute) but all in all it was a really fun time. The kids did great. It must be nice to be pretty much fearless. It was a nice place to go minus the giant ruts dug out by jeeps that we tried to go across. That is what ate my four wheeler. I crashed super hard trying to get across. I took a couple of pictures while we were out and I am not sure how I didn't get the camera wet when I crashed but I didn't. The picture of Spencer and Dylan with the mud tracks behind them is right before I crashed and right where I crashed. I was told that it was "awesome" I guess I can take that. I have reluctantly added a photo of myself covered in mud. I hate this picture and it is certainly going to make me hit the gym harder on monday (if I can move!) I sware I have lost 15 pounds :) Enjoy the photo of my leg. That is the mark of the handle bars. May I suggest not having the handle bars on your leg.

Rare find at the Zoo

We were in the reptile house and people kept leaving trash so Doug labeled something as if it was an exhibit. Leave it to Doug!

The National Zoo

When my family (minus Barbie :( ) was here we made a trip to the National Zoo. I love this zoo. No other zoo can beat it I think. We had a great time. Claire and Leilani and mom (nana) and Uncle Doug and Aunt Brianne were there. It was a lot of fun. The kids were eaten by dinosaurs and Doug gave Dylan a ride on his shoulders and then he got a ride from Dylan in return. We had so much fun spending time with our family. Thanks to Bret and Stacey for getting married :)
