Apple Hill

Horseback Riding





There is a gal that works with Mike who owns a horse and is always telling him to bring Amanda to the ranch where she keeps her. So we went a couple of weeks ago and of course Amanda LOVED IT!!! So we signed up right there and then for lessons. The company is called Too Hot 2 Trot and is owned by this young couple with 3 kids. ANYWAYS...here are a couple of shots I got before the camera died. I'm sure there will be more to come:)

Centerpiece

This might not mean much to a lot of you, but for those family members that have this same centerpiece, I am always looking for ways to make it fun...so here is mine. I have dried black beans in the bottom and then eyeballs on top of that. I used a spider stamp and stamped the outside of the glass for an added effect. (It comes off:) Anyways, I want you ladies to show me what kind of fun things you do with your centerpiece!

Boating with Friends

Thanks for the fun times, Flandro's!! The only thing we didn't take pictures of was my attempt at water skiing! Which, believe me, was not even worthy of a single picture!

High School Musical 2 Party

Thanks Heather!!
As you can tell, the boys weren't too into the movie, but they loved the microphone cupcakes:)

Oh my goodness! I can't believe I have finally entered the world of blogs! Mike talked me into it. It is so much fun to look at everyone's pictures and keep in touch with family and friends, so here it goes:) Pardon my beginning blogger mistakes. I am learning!

My Baby Turned TWO

Before & After the big two-year-old haircut!




I can't believe my baby just turned 2!! He is so much fun! Whenever we asked him how old he was he would hold up his hand and with five gingers in the air, say "TWO!" I also cannot believe that we have had 4 kids and have never had one of these big red & yellow hideous buggies!! Where have we been?
I was with a friend the other day (she will remain anonymous) and she said that she had only made one of her kids birthday cakes (gasp). (she has 4 kids) I think I have bought maybe 2 or 3 birthday cakes for my kids in their lives, and felt guilty as I was doing it. But this is only because I love to bake and think this is one of my duties of motherhood. (Whereas laundry and the things that get left because I am baking and frosting all day, are not:) Anyways, I tell you this not to poke at a friend who may not have a love of baking cakes, but because I want to let you in on a part of my life that probably most of you know already. I love sweets!! I love to make them and to eat them. Enough said.
