Cupcake Wars

So we decided to have a cupcake war, yes I watch too much food network channel! It was a lot of fun...Noah's picture doesn't do justice, it's a hamburger! Grace went with the 4th of July theme.. she made a filling of frosting and pop rocks..so it would explode in your mouth..like fireworks! Each had to present their creation..as you can see the judges really enjoyed themselves...notice the frosting on everyone's faces! They tied of course! We had Curt's scout's join in on the voting and Grace's 4th of July themed cupcake..Won..The WAR!!!

Neighborhood FHE

We had so much fun last night with our neighbors, we went tubing, had a fire, roasted hot dogs and smore's. The kids had so much fun. Gabe said it was the best FHE we had ever had...then he informed me that ours are always boring!

Amazing Grace

I can not believe my little girl is 10, she is getting so big and such a young lady! I am always amazed by her kind, generous heart. She is such an example to me. I am so grateful to have her in my life and that I get to be her mom! She made the most adorable headbands for her friends for Christmas..I was so proud of her, Grandma Marlene helped her with her first few, then she just took over the little project all by herself. My favorite was that she had to make one for every girl in her class, because she did not want anyone to feel left out, then of course there are the friends not in her class, I think she made about 30! I finished her new bedding just in time for her birthday with again the help of Grandma Marlene! It turned out really cute, she got a new desk for Christmas to complete the new "Big Girl" room.
