Celebrating 4th of July

We decided to start our 4th off with some delicious lunch at Chili’s since the kids ate for free..  Of course a shot of my Handsome little stud in his shades..

 

We headed over to Bookman’s to check out some books and to get out of that heat.. You would think with all the books that are available at a “book store”  my darling Handsome would have more than enough options to choose from..  What book does he end up bringing up the Justin Beiber book of course..  We truly have a Belieber in our house and its not my tween..

 

Then the time came for us to head over to the park and get our little set-up going..  We always have to bring some yummy snacks to munch on while we wait for the sun to set..  We brought along some glow stick toys, played some catch to help the time pass and of course took some photos that were shall we say very spontaneous..

Finally the time arrived for the fireworks to start and they were just gorgeous.. Although it only lasted twenty minutes it was a constant array of bright and bold colors bursting in the sky..  We had an amazing time together and it would have been a perfect holiday if daddy had been able to make it..

 

Take Care & Be Safe…

Photo Shoot with the kids..

I decided to take the kids out for some photographs and of course it was all windy, dusty and gloomy.  Needless to say we ended up heading out anyways because the kids were excited to take some photos.  In the end I really like how they came out and cant wait to print them out and see how they look.

 

This is one of my favorites..

The next two are my favorite individual photos of them..

 

 

 

Take care & be safe..

Mmm.. Rainbow Cupcakes

I have had the itch to bake lately and fell in love with some rainbow cupcakes I came across so I decided to bite the bullet and make them.  It was slightly time consuming due to all of the colors but we had a blast making them so here are some photos of our lovely baking experience.

 

Our lovely colors of the rainbow..

Now were on to the process of layering the colors..

You start with purple and blue

green then yellow

orange and top it off with red..

Now you have the completed product and we thought that they came out great, yummy as well. 

 

Now its on to frosting these bad boys and she did a fine job.

 

Then they’re off to the sprinkles specialist!!

In the end we ended up with these lovely, oh so cute and super delicious rainbow cupcakes.

By now we have already devoured about half of the batch but were trying to save some for our dinner under the star tomorrow before the fireworks start. 

Hope everyone has a wonderful and safe 4th of July tomorrow.

Take care & be safe..
