Saturday Morning Cartoons

This makes mama smile! :)

Pray, pray, pray!

Lots of changes in our life.  Need prayer. :)

Reese will be graduating in one week. So excited, and so proud of him. He has worked so hard for this and for our family. He is the best. He has finals and final projects due, graduation fees, and still working three jobs in the midst of all this. It is very stressing on him. Pray.

Dayne will be starting school in a couple weeks. He has had an awesome summer and we have done tons of fun stuff, but it's never long enough for a seven year old. He is excited about second grade, but will miss swimming every day, sleepovers during the week, being home with mama and sister, going to Nommie and Vivi's, sleeping late, and no agenda. Who wouldn't?? Pray.

We are going on vacation this weekend with the grandparents. Addie's first vacation with them. We will be going to a Braves game. Everybody is so excited. Traveling and being away from home. Definately pray. :)

We may be buying a new/used vehicle soon. Addie is small, but we have outgrown our little favorite, family, paid for car. Definately. We have been looking around and think we have found what we might want, but it will be a step of faith. Pray.

So blessed that we can lift these things up to the Lord and know that he hears, and will be faithful and show us answers in His time and His will.  Thank you Lord.

Who Loves the Beach? We do!!

Our little family of four decided to go on a mini vacation to the beach this past weekend. It was Addie's first vacation ever; first time to see the beach and stick her toes in the sand (Yes, we stuck her cute little pink toes in the sand) , first time to stay in a hotel, lots of firsts. Mama and Daddy and Dayne's first time in a Beau Rivage. Yes, we stayed on the 25th floor of the Beau Rivage, and it was awesome priceless AMAZING!! We had so much fun.

Pink toes covered with sand. Doesn't get much better than this.

Getting a little tired of it now!

Dayne feeding the birds.

All smiles. :) I love my daddy. (and the beach)

Colorful Fun Cupcakes

So.. Dayne, Addie, and I were bored, had a craving for a little something sweet, and wanted to get creative. :) So we decided to try this. We found this over at theletter4.blogspot.com and decided to try our own "Massive Volcanic Cupcakes".

regular white cake mix + food coloring...

We separated the different colors of cake mix, and spoon the different colors randomly into the cupcake pan, color after color, one on top of another.

Then, pop them in the oven, and when they come out, they are overflowing with color! AWESOME!

Dayne thought Addie should be in the picture too!

Then we Dayne decided to make colorful icing to top them off. We just added food coloring to regular icing and got creative. Dayne liked mixing different colors and swirling them. Fun day!  ;)

Delicious..

Our Fourth!

Hope everyone had a great Fourth of July holiday! We enjoyed some great friends, cooking out, and an awesome fireworks show put on by Dayne! I am a little late in posting our pictures, but I wanted to show everyone the dessert that Dayne and I made. He was so proud of it.

Dayne preparing the delicious dessert. Such a good helper.

More preparation. Notice the rocket firework with the stunt man (fireman) sitting on top of it. Dayne thought this would be a great prop for the picture. So sweet. :)

Our finished Flag! It was delicious too.
