Who's Hungry?

Yum. Just had to share.

Tulip Festival

Well it only took us 3 years, but we finally made it to the Tulip Festival. This area is famous for tulips and every years it's a big deal when they are in bloom. We literally got to the festival hours before harvesting the last field. But we are so glad we did. The flowers were amazing and the pictures posted were just a tiny piece of what we saw. Enjoy!

The flowers

Fine Feathered Friends

As if I hadn't made enough cupcakes this week...what's 75 more? I did a Navy retirement cake and 75 cupcakes for some friends today. I was tired. Enough said...but it was a lot of fun and I LOVE this stuff! Also it was their 1st wedding anniversary and I had to commemorate the occasion with....cake!

Diploma Barbie

Have I mentioned that my friend, Cassia is seriously the FUNNIEST person? She calls everything "Barbie". Cop-out Barbie. Cruise director Barbie. Social buffer Barbie. Anyway the list goes on. It's just kind of a funny way of making fun of life and not taking things too seriously. Well Cassia graduated from College last week and her hubby thought it would be fun to throw her a party. I COULD NOT AGREE MORE! So we conspired against her for a week or so and threw her a "diploma Barbie" graduation party. Complete with a Barbie cake and cupcakes. I did the old star tip decorating on the Barbie cake to give it a "vintage" feel. Congrats, Cassia...we are all proud of you!

Baptisms and Such

Last weekend our good friends celebrated the baptism of their daughter. It was a great day for our family to witness such a sweet experience. And speaking of sweet...these are the cupcakes I did for the refreshments.

Command Egg Hunt

We did things a little different this year and attended a command Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday. I really liked not having one at the house on Sunday. I have nothing against eggs hunts but it was nice to just keep the kid stuff on Saturday. Sunday we dyed a few eggs but kept it low key. All in all, the kids had a great time and we enjoyed the weekend as a family!

Dying Eggs

Beach Time

Easter evening the kids were restless so we took a nice walk along one of the beaches near our home. It was so peaceful and serene being by the water and hearing the waves crash against the rocks and driftwood. It was a nice end to a special day and the kids could spend all day throwing rocks into the water. I have always loved the water and its vastness reminds me of our Creator! A perfect end to an Easter Sunday.
