Here are some updates as to what we've been up to. So hopefully this will make someone happy, Lol, I love you Amanda.

Washing the Car

Alex decided he wanted to help Daddy wash the car and the best way for a kid to do that is to get into stuff. LOL. We all had a great time, especially Alex.

Time to drive

Make it pretty

Luckily for us he can't reach the pedals yet. but it was fun.

Pinewood Derby

In case you guys don't know Travis is the Cub Master at our Ward so recently we had the pinewood derby. It was my first time being a part of it. I unfortunatly forgot my camera for it, but I was lucky enough to be able to make a cake for the event. I added cars to it later, once we got to the church, but this is the finished product. I had so much fun making it, and even more fun at the derby. The kids were all so excited and rooting for eachother, but I think that the parent's just got a little more into it than the kids. It was funny. We all had a blast. The kids had to take driving tests and recieved their licenses. We made one for Alex too, but unfortunatly it got left in his pocket and it went through the wash. But it was fun while it lasted.

My Dad's 50th Birthday

The Whole Family

Just a fraction of the guests

The infamous outhouse

My dad...Cowboy Up!

So my Dad turned 50 this year and we had his party at our house. He is a cowboy at heart and so we had a western theme. Amanda helped me with the invitations and they were awesome. It looked like a wanted poster with his picture on them. Almost the entire family showed up and lots of his friends too. Lots of people dressed up too, including myself. Oh yes, I have my own hats and boots. We had such an awesome time. I think the best part about the entire party, besides the company, was that my mother in law, Kristi, made him a cake in the shape of an outhouse. It was a big hit. And no it didn't taste like crap. LOL. Though it was made of chocolate, it was probably one of my favorites.

We had bales of hay in the backyard to sit on, decorations of wanted signs and cactus and the bathroom door was covered to look like an outhouse. With bar-b-que hamburgers, hotdogs, and chicken with chips and soda you can't go wrong. We also had karaoke, but not too many people joined in. Mostly the kids and me and my sisters, but at least we know how to have fun.
