When it Comes to Cakes....

I have decided that when it comes to cakes I am definitely an ideas person: I have great ideas for fun cakes, but they always turn out looking so BAD!!!

Case in point, after the boys went to bed last night, I tried to make an Easter Egg cake. Of course I had not mold, but figured if I cut it carefully, everything would be fine. Well, I did cut it carefully into an egg shape, but when I went to put the frosting on, well disaster struck!!!! The cake started falling apart, so I had to use my fingers to try to keep it together with the frosting acting as a sort of glue. Needless to say, I made a mess in the kitchen, and my egg looks more like a big pile of something :)

Oh well, better luck next time!

P.S. Even though it looked terrible, it was mighty tasty!

Dying Easter Eggs

Thought I'd share some pics of our Easter egg dying this afternoon. This year ran the smoothest by far (probably because Mace is getting older, and I quickly pulled out some colored scrapbooking ink for Lex to use when I saw that he wouldn't be able to wait for the eggs to dye). Anyway, the boys had lots of fun, and so did I. We (Mace and I) were even able to make a deep, deep purple egg that I'm certain would've made Grandma VanHoeck proud!

Happy Easter Eve all!

Easter Packages

Well, Easter came early for Mace and Lex when they got their Easter Packages from Grandma and Grandpa Mowers, Grandma and Grandpa Swickle, and Aunt Mary and Uncle Alan.

I tried to get good pictures, but when you put these two boys in front of brown paper packages, well your lucky if you get a couple of good shots.

A big thank you from the boys and us!

I'm still alive!

Okay, I know it's been forever since I last posted, but our camera broke at the end of September, and we didn't get a replacement until Christmas. Of course, life has been so busy that I've neglected blogging, but as I looked through some random photos today, I decided I'd better get my butt in gear, and get back to showing off the boys.

So here you are: random images of the boys (and me with my hair chopped off) over the past couple of months :)
