SuMmEr TiMe

Oh the joys of summer time! We have been having a blast this summer doing all sorts of fun things. I have decided that I am so behind on updating this blog since, like, forever, I decided to just start now and maybe sometime I'll get the chance to update the past happenings. Wish me luck!
Anywho, on to the fun stuff. Here is a few things we have been doing lately...

Our first pickings from our garden...zucchini!

We have some awesome friends that have a lot of raspberries and let us come and pick some! YUMMY Cody is growing so fast! 7 months already! He loves to eat food and watch whatever Carter and Emma are doing.This front part of his hair always goes to one side, like a little mini comb over. :o) He has the best hair! It does what it wants to. :o) So cute!

Cody is now sitting up and trying so hard to crawl. He loves to unload all his toys from his baskets.

Oh, we made the funnest cupcakes! (thank you Cylista for the idea!). Tye Died cupcakes! Yes, they look so cool! The kids had a ton of fun making (and eating) them. So easy too...here they are before we frosted them.

And after they were frosted, broken in half, right before they were devoured! YUM!

OK, so they really aren't hard, just divide your cake batter into separate bowls (however many colors you want, we did 5) and food color each one the color you want. Then put a scoop of each color in the muffin tin and take a tooth pick and give it a little swirl **not too much** and vwaala!Carter enjoying his cupcake.Emma loves to bake and she thoroughly enjoyed this day!

On a side note, I finally got up wake boarding! YAY! It was for more than 30 seconds too! :o) I know, some of you are pros at this sport already, but I had never done this sport before until now. It was a blast! Sadly, no pictures of my triumph, we forgot the camera. I for one will not be forgetting this awesome feat!

So here's to more summer fun days ahead of us. We hope you are all enjoying this fun time of year!

Great job on the cupcakes! I'll have to try that one with my little punks.

Way to go on the wakeboarding...I'm yet to even get a chance to try it for real. So you're doing better than I am! :)

Those cupcakes look soooo cool. I think we will be doing them soon. I guess we will be seeing some more blogging now that Greg is here and you have more time to yourself. Oh and what's this about no pictures of you wake boarding...... I have a bunch!

Okay, I need you to tell me how to do those cupcakes! You guys must be busy this summer since I never hear from you. :) Let's get together!
P.S. Good job on the wakeboarding- it looks like a lot of work to me. :)
